SUMMARY:American Patchwork Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Grammy-winning guitarist/vocalist Clay Ross\, 3x Grammy-winning drummer Clarence Penn\, Grammy-nominated vocalist Falu Shah\, and highly acclaimed bassist Yasushi Nakamura showcase the dynamic diversity of contemporary culture by reimagining timeless songs from America's past.\n\nAmerican Patchwork Quartet (APQ) draws on a repertoire of centuries-old American folk songs that highlight America's immigrant roots. They showcase America's dynamic present by combining the diverse talents of four U.S. citizens\, each with a unique cultural background. In this group\, old songs are made new through creative arrangements that highlight the exceptional and well-honed skills of each member.\n\nAPQ performances strive to counter pervasive prejudices around the issues of race and immigration. In order to help strengthen our country's social fabric\, APQ desires that its audiences reflect on the notion that as Americans we must acknowledge our differences to discover our commonalities. We must recognize the realities of racism and prejudice in order to build authentic and lasting bonds across cultures and color lines. While we are not responsible for our country's past\, we are accountable for its future.
