A Collaboration with The Scooches, Garden Players Kids, & You
New York City’s The Scooches invite you to sing along, experience music infused with elements of Gullah-Geechee culture with global folk traditions, New Orleans influences, and music from the 1920s.
“This band is a melting pot of many different cultures, genres, instruments, and sounds,” says Russo. “My dream is that people of all races and origins live, play, and share all our different world musics and cultures together as one united race, without fear.” The result—in The Scooches’ last album Get Us Out Of Fearland (#2 on the International Folk DJ Charts) —is a revival of what makes us all come alive.
The musicians, from New York, Suriname, and everywhere in between, have played with Wynton Marsalis, Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, Max Roach, Paul Simon, Cecil Taylor, and Reggie Workman. They’ve performed on Good Morning America and at Club Passim, the Kansas City Folk Festival, and venues around the world.
