The first time I heard Joseph Decosimo's new album, "While You Were Slumbering," it absolutely floored me. The effect has not lessened much with subsequent listens. The record was one of the best folk albums of last year, and Joseph is one of my favorite interpreters of Appalachian music. Don't miss a chance to hear him at the old log cabin!
Joseph Decosimo has introduced audiences around the world to the beauty and vitality of the region’s music. A student of the last master traditional musicians in his home region of Tennessee, Joseph draws on a well of profound creativity and repertoire even as he creates fresh sounds. His performances are inviting and nourishing, connecting audiences to the older music’s transcendent beauty. Joseph also works outside of the traditional music world. His playing can be heard on recordings by fellow Durham, NC artists Hiss Golden Messenger, Wye Oak, Jake Xerxes Fussell, Elephant Micah, and others.
