His Men At Words tour of North America saw Jez joining forces with James Keelaghan and Archie Fisher for much-acclaimed concerts across Canada and the USA. And as part of The Pitmen Poets (with Bob Fox\, Benny Graham\, and Billy Mitchell)\, Jez has helped to rekindle the fire in the tradition of mining songs and culture of his native region in a series of sell out theatre performances around the UK. \n\n\n\nOver the last couple of decades\, the likes of Fairport Convention\, The Dubliners\, The Unthanks\, Wizz Jones\, The McCalmans\, Mary Black\, The Duhks\, Bob Fox\, The Young Uns\, Enda Kenny\, Cherish The Ladies\, Tom McConville\, The Clancys\, and scores more have queued up to adopt his songs for their own repertoires. No wonder no less than Richard Thompson has called him “the best singer songwriter to come out of the UK for a long time”\, and personally invited him to play at Thompson’s Meltdown Festival at London’s South Bank Centre in 2010.  \n\n\n\nJez Lowe’s contributions to the on-going BBC Radio series The Radio Ballads has cemented this reputation\, with a Sony Radio Award among the many accolades coming its way. The project culminated in a live BBC Radio 2 broadcast In November 2018 to commemorate The Great War Centenary that featured Jez alongside the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and narrator Michael Morpurgo. \n\n\n\nAs BBC Radio DJ Mike Harding said recently\, “no-one else writes or sounds like Jez Lowe”\, and chances are\, even if you’ve never heard the man himself\, you’ll have heard his songs sung at festivals\, club-gigs\, open-mikes or on CD\, by the great and good\, the professional and the enthusiast\, the young and not-so-young. What higher accolade could a songwriter hope for?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJez Lowe is one of our finest songwriters.

Their performance is an endearing set of older Country and \nBluegrass songs\, Archaic Fiddle Tunes from Rural Appalachia\, and \nOriginal Roots Music. Their interpretation of timeless American music \nis compelling and revealing; the show\, charming.

The grist for their mill is traditional blues. Together\, Mulebone has recorded four critically lauded albums and achieved American Music Awards Top 100 with all but one. Their latest offering Keep on Movin earned the distinction of being the only independent release in the A.M.A. Top 40 for 5 weeks in 2015. Along with playing live and TV appearances\, they won “Blues artist of the year” recognitions at radio stations from Seattle\, Washington\, to Red Bank\, New Jersey\, and Hugh Pool was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame in 2016. Any given week may find them playing clubs in NYC or entertaining at private parties thrown by David Rockefeller\, Bruce Wasserstein and list of other East Coast residents who are enthusiastic about bringing these boys in for a party by road\, sea or air. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTogether in Mulebone\, Hugh and John play slide guitar boogies\, one-chord trance riffs a la Howlin Wolf\, the uptempo rags of Reverend Gary Davis\, and\n country blues of all shapes and colors. Sometimes they play close to \nthe source\, almost as if tracing the image\, and at other moments\, they \nre-examine the source\, float above it\, take a new look as one \nunderstanding their home from a distant land. \n\n\n\nUnlike most “blues” ensembles\, \nMulebone dispatches with the essence of that which defines the genre as \nknown by the masses – a rhythm section of bass and drums. Imagine a \nblues collective minus a bass line cobbled from Willie Dixon\, coupled \nwith a pounding back beat. Proclaims Pool: “A duo is very sympathetic to\n an audience! People tell me ‘God damn\, that’s a lot of music coming out\n of just the two of you. Our sound is backwoods and fairly primitive. \nBut it’s deep\, and it’s fresh. There’s a lot of athleticism in what we \ndo.” Tom Semioli\, No Depression\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJohn Ragusa\n\n\n\nJohn Ragusa can play anything he can put his lips on…wait a minute….did\n I say that out loud? In Mulebone\, John plays conch shell\, Jews harp\, \ncornet\, all manner of flutes\, tin whistle\, and chimes in on the harmony \nvocals. He is member of Beth Nielsen Chapman‘s group as well as his own John Ragusa outfit\, and plays regularly in conjunction with Deepak Chopra‘s speaking engagements. Amongst dozens of studio credits are contemporary jazz greats Joe Taylor\, Jeremy Wall\, and world music icon Tom Zé. \n\n\n\nHugh says\, “One time we were in Lexington\, Kentucky sitting at an \noutdoor cafe and John played me a bunch of melodies sliding a straw up \nand down in a cup of ice water”…you get the drift. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHugh Pool\n\n\n\nHugh Pool\n plays guitars\, harmonica\, boot board and sings\, all with a mouth full \nof whiskey and a giant heart. He has played his brand of blues in clubs \nand at festivals from Jakarta\, Indonesia to North Cape\, \nNorway; From Vienna\, Austria to Ottawa\, Ontario\, and has been critically\n lauded by the New York Times\, New York Press\, the Village Voice\, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette\, Cleveland Plain Dealer\, Blues Revue Magazine…the list goes on. \n\n\n\nHe is also a noted recordist and producer who has worked on hundreds of records at his Williamsburg\, Brooklyn studio\, Excello Recording including sessions with Taj Mahal\, Debbie Harry\, Marshall Crenshaw\, and even Molly Ringwald. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Chenango Sessions\, hosted by Andru Bemis\, is a weekly\, one-hour nationally syndicated radio program which primarily features world-class musicians playing in intimate spaces—living rooms\, galleries\, and listening rooms—for small\, enthusiastic audiences around Binghamton\, New York. Audiences and artists are encouraged to interact\, and the spirit of the live show is preserved in the radio program and recordings. Due to the intimate nature of the venues\, not all Chenango Sessions are open to the public.
