Acoustic Brew presents: Rachel Sumner and Travelling Light

Acoustic Brew presents: Rachel Sumner and Travelling Light

Lennon-Award-winning songwriter Rachel Sumner sits at the helm of the string band Traveling Light (fiddle, guitar, bass). This Boston based acoustic trio come bearing new interpretations of traditional folk songs and lend their deeply rooted bluegrass know-how to tightly crafted original songs written by Sumner. In addition to some of their own songs, the group performed their own take on songs taken from the American Folklife Center archives. While their instrumentation and textures show roots deep in bluegrass and traditional folk music, Sumner's lyric-forward writing and penchant for snaking chord progressions venture beyond folk conventions, highlighting the acrobatic range of her bandmates Kat Wallace on fiddle and Mike Siegel on upright bass.
