PLEASE NOTE THIS GIVEAWAY ENDED ON THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 1, 2011
Paul Silveria has a passion for traditional music and the grass roots it springs from. As “Professor Banjo” he shares that music, and its story, with audiences up and down the west coast. His show emerged
from his musical interests (including old-time string bands, jug bands, country blues, and square dance calling) and his love for kids, fostered by his years as a pre-school and K-12 teacher.
“PB and Jam” is a unique project. Over the the past 10 years he has gotten to know many young musicians and musical families. For this album he invited a handful to join him in the studio. The Small Time String Band, Fiddlie-I-Ay, and Riley Calcagno each recorded two tracks with the Professor. The delightful results include an example of square dance calling, a classic novelty song, and a vintage comedy skit. The remaining tracks feature Professor Banjo’s prime solo material: traditional songs both familiar and obscure, and traditionally inspired originals with just a hint of off-beat humor.
Check out these reviews of PB and Jam from PDX Kids Calendar and Oregon Music News.
PB and Jam will be available September 1st on CD Baby: www.cdbaby.com/Artist/
