Hello and welcome to the third season of Inside The Musician's Brain! We are thrilled to be back, especially with our first guest of the season, Grammy award-winning songwriter, musician, and Chris' old friend Aoife O'Donovan. Along with releasing three critically-acclaimed solo albums, Aoife is the co-founder of the bands I'm With Her and Crooked Still, she is the featured vocalist on The Goat Rodeo Sessions with artists such as Yo-Yo Ma and Chris Thile, and she was a part of the radio variety shows "Live From Here” and “A Prairie Home Companion”. In this episode, Chris and Aoife discuss meeting years ago and jamming together at the legendary Cantab Lounge in Boston and how their lives on the road have changed from then to now. Aoife also talks in depth about her band Crooked Still and who influenced them and why they played the songs they played. She then goes on to share her love for collaboration and how she got her chops with other players. The two old friends finish by deep diving into Aoife's solo discography, including her new album Age of Apathy.

You're listening to the Westerly Sun's podcast, where we talk about the best local events, new job postings, obituaries, and more. First, a bit of Rhode Island trivia. Today's trivia is brought to you by Perennial. Perennial's new plant-based drink “Daily Gut & Brain” is a blend of easily digestible nutrients crafted for gut and brain health. A convenient mini-meal, Daily Gut & Brain” is available now at the CVS Pharmacy in Wakefield. Now for some trivia. Did you know that french academic scholar and administrator, Francis Lawrence, was born in Woonsocket? He taught at Tulane for over 30 years, eventually becoming academic vice president, provost, dean of the graduate school, and eventually the 18th president of Rutgers University. After retiring in 2002, he returned to teaching at Rutgers. Now, for our feature story: Two-plus years and more than $12 million later, Westerly's United Theatre, once the go-to downtown movie spot — a facility that was built in 1926 as a vaudeville house, transitioned into a movie theater when films came into fashion, then closed its doors in 1986 when downtown Westerly temporarily lost its luster — opened its doors to movie-lovers Friday afternoon with 4:45 p.m. screenings of Marvel's "Black Widow" and Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson's must-see music documentary, "Summer of Soul." Tony Nunes, the theater's artistic director said "We are now a full-time theater. It's been a long time coming, but movies are back in Westerly. We are all good to go. From now on, Nunes continued, film-lovers will be able to screen movies seven days a week, 365 days a year. Two of the United's three movie screens opened Friday, Nunes said, and the third, the balcony cinema, will open next week. "You might say this is a bit of a soft opening," he added, noting that the official ribbon-cutting will take place on July 24. An exhibit featuring a show called "Faces of Westerly," by photographer Josh Behan, will be on display by then, and a video called "Voices of Westerly" will be shown in the black box theater. "We plan to have one-hundred-and-seventy-six film screenings in July alone," said Nunes one afternoon last week as he sat in the United's balcony watching workers put the final touches on the black box theater where films will be screened and performances and gatherings will take place. "We'll have matinées and show movies from one to ten p.m. each day." Grammy award-winning songwriter and musician Aoife O'Donovan, co-founder of the bands I'm With Her and Crooked Still, who has been a featured vocalist on "The Goat Rodeo Sessions" with Yo-Yo Ma, Stuart Duncan, Edgar Meyer, and Chris Thile, and who spent a decade contributing to the radio variety shows "Live From Here” and “A Prairie Home Companion," will be the first musician to perform in the renovated theater when she stops by on her way to play at the Newport Folk Festival on July 23rd. Nunes, who has been working on the United renovation for the last seven years — five as a volunteer — said there is now a larger staff in place, with five new people joining him and Executive Director Lisa Utman Randall. Back in the theater, days before the final approvals were in place, and while he juggled a seeming endless array of "moving parts," Nunes grew thoughtful. "I love our name and I love what we stand for," said Nunes. "We're uniting the community through the arts." For updates, tickets and performance dates, visit unitedtheatre.org.

In the Magic Hour is the name of bluegrass darling Aoife O'Donovan's new album, and also an apt description of what it felt like chatting with her on this episode of Soul Sisters. Well-known as leading vocalist in the band Crooked Still and her part in the Grammy-winning Goat Rodeo Sessions album, O'Donovan is now thriving in a solo career that finds her harnessing her immense musical talents that first revealed themselves when she knew, at the age of five, that she wanted to be a musician.

Blame it on Aaron Copland's Appalachian Spring or perhaps the ridiculous virtuosity that is characteristic of so much bluegrass playing. In the past decade, growing numbers of classical musicians have been mixing it up with fiddlers, banjo players and mandolin pluckers. Yo-Yo Ma has worked with bluegrass players in the Goat Rodeo Sessions; mandolin wizard Chris Thile has played his own concerto with several American orchestras and released an album of Bach partitas. The latest group to explore this hybrid is the Jake Schepps Quintet, a string band whose members are steeped in bluegrass spontaneity but whose repertoire – yes, repertoire – is by composers from the modern classical tradition. They include Matt McBane, Marc Mellits, Gyan Riley, and Matt Flinner. Led by Schepps, a Colorado-based banjoist, the group came to WQXR to play three pieces from "Entwined," their debut album. "Most of the instruments in the string band aren't foreign" to classical composers, said Schepps, in an interview with host Terrance McKnight. "Most classical composers have written for violin, guitar, and bass, and a mandolin is tuned like a violin so it's familiar territory." The quintet's set began with Flatiron VII: Planetary Tuners by Mellits, a Chicago-based composer whose works have been performed by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and Kronos Quartet, among other groups. Schepps has been at the forefront of melding bluegrass with other genres for several years. He previously recorded an album of Béla Bartok's music arranged for a string band, "An Evening In The Village," and says he wants to play the music of Henry Purcell for a future project. "I fell in love with his three and four-part fantasias," he said. "I love Baroque music and Bach. I'm always curious for places that I can take string band instruments into new terrain." Schepps added that it's a "lateral step" to transfer pieces from Purcell's viola da gambas to the five-string banjo. The quintet's next selection is the album's title track, by Matt McBane, a Brooklyn violinist and composer who directs the Carlsbad Music Festival in California and whose music has been played by a number of new-music groups. Flinner, who plays mandolin in the quintet, composed the last selection in the set, called Migrations. He tells McKnight that his challenge "was trying, as a bluegrass musician, to write across that line in a long-form manner. Classical music goes so many different directions these days. One thing that we could use more of is more American roots elements added to that. Bluegrass is a uniquely American art form. It feels like it's getting more respect." Schepps added: "My hope is that a classical audience will come to find something interesting about bluegrass." Listen to the full interview and performances at the top of this page.
