May 23-29, 2002 musicpicks Groovin' and Pickin'
This Wednesday's evening of Folk Song Society-sponsored live performance and film at the Art Museum is well-titled. The groovin' comes from GrooveLily, the strictly contemporary trio with the sinuous, six-string electric fiddle played by Valerie Vigoda as its core. Traditionalists will be pleased by Beppe Gambetta and Dan Crary's pickin'. Gambetta's most recent mention in City Paper was for his harp guitar playing as part of the revival of Italian plectrum orchestras. That's a natural match for the native Genovese, but his earliest guitar notoriety came from the music he'll be making with Crary: sizzling hot bluegrass and other Americana on flat picked acoustic guitars. Jack Elliot has been singing old songs and telling older stories for so long he was one of Bob Dylan's inspirations. Jack won't be at the museum, but his film bio, The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack, will be screened. All this is included with the price of admission, which, it should be mentioned, is free to Folk Song Society members for this evening only. Wed., May 29, 5 -8:45 p.m., Philadelphia Museum of Art, 26th and the Parkway, 215-783-8100, www.philamuseum.org.
