Concert deets: From the blazing hot bow of Sami Braman comes Riveter—the debut solo record of original fiddle tunes, inventively written and masterfully performed by the traditional roots wunderkind, co-produced by Braman and legendary fiddler Brittany Haas. Known from her work with longtime Pacific Northwest string band, The Onlies, and as a member of Willie Watson's band, here Braman celebrates the fiddle with a playful journey that, over the course of ten tracks, draws upon traditions from Appalachia to Ireland, Cape Breton to Norway, and beyond. Aptly named for the myriad fiddling styles Braman nimbly “rivets” together, Riveter pulses with an old-time groove throughout and Braman’s sheer joy in playing her instrument rolls off it all in waves. Within a musical tradition where fully original works are the exception, Braman sets herself apart—and her compositional chops are undeniable. Supported by a stringband of fellow Nashville-based pals (Emily Mann, Jake Stargel, and Frank Evans), she pushes us to imagine what traditionally inspired folk music can be.
