On this "Carnegie Hall Presents" double bill with The Low Anthem - a performance curated by Rosanne Cash - the avant-garde folk duo demonstrates the evolution of traditional roots music. The duo's latest album, The Invisible Comes To Us (Smithsonian Folkways), is a reconfiguration of ancient folk ballads that the New Yorker calls "hypnotic."
The four-time GRAMMY winner hosts this "Carnegie Hall Presents" double bill featuring The Low Anthem and Anna & Elizabeth. The evening of live music, curated by Cash, showcases the novel ways that traditional roots music continues to evolve. During this year’s AmericanaFest, Cash received the “Spirit of Americana” Free Speech Award, and she tours later this year following the release of a new album.
