Banjoist Jayme Stone to Perform at MTSU

MTSU’s Center for Popular Music will host banjoist Jayme Stone for a performance and workshop for students on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Stone is a Juno-award winning musician who incorporates influences from across the globe on his releases, including touchstones ranging from Japanese poetry to African melodies. His latest album, The Lomax Project, is comprised of songs archived by field recorder and folklorist Alan Lomax. Along with a team of Grammy-winning roots musicians, Stone reimagines sea shanties, a cappella pieces and Appalachian work songs with folk and bluegrass instrumentation. Stone’s Sept. 30 visit includes a full day of on-campus activities: a performance in the Walker Library atrium, a hands-on workshop with MTSU music students, an evening concert and more.
