Nate Wooley brought his improvising trio called Folk Music to the front room of the Sugar Maple in July as part of a short tour which included Washington, Dc and Pittsburgh among other cities. Percussionists Chris Corsano and Ches Smith round out this unusual group.
The trio makes completely improvised music with a nice blend of acoustic and processed sounds. As Wooley says on his website, "After years of conceptual and compositional projects, Wooley put together a trio dedicated simply to free music without boundaries. Why 'Folk Music?' The name stems from the idea of making something from scratch using the full life-experience and creativity of the musicians, a story that changes with each re-telling, that progresses each time the musicians come together to tell it again. It is music as legend or myth. Folk songs -- strange, but true."
