**************************

Le Moulin presents John Reischman and the Jaybirds, a West Coast band we featured
on March 31, 2012. This is their first return to the East since then and they’ll only be
giving 5 concerts in the Maritimes. They're a superb bluegrass band, blending original
songs and instruments with Appalachian music to create a unique sound. Now in their
20th year, the band has released seven acclaimed albums and received two Juno
nominations.

John Reischman has released 3 critically-acclaimed solo instrumental albums and
has played on a Grammy-winning album. He has also put out 3 duo albums with
guitarist John Miller. He began in the San Francisco area with the Good Ol’
Persons bluegrass band and was an original member of the Tony Rice Unit. He
moved to Vancouver in the early 90s and formed the Jaybirds in 1999.

*************************
“One of the world’s undisputed masters of the mandolin, famed for outstanding
tone and taste.” –Bluegrass Unlimited

“…It is also a bluegrass album that should appeal to much more than hard-core
fans of that genre.” –P-E Comeau, review of first album in Dirty Linen #101, 2002

Folk Radio UK said the “On That Other Green Shore album showcases an
accomplished, experienced band at the peak of their powers, with musicianship of the
very highest order.” 

Peghead Nation called it “one of the most beguiling bluegrass-rooted recordings of
2017.”

Los Angeles, CA-based guitarist Patrick Sauber has played with, among others, Doc
Watson, Richard Greene, John Jorgensen, Peter Rowan, Tim O’Brien and John Fogerty.
He played on a Grammy-nominated album, and appeared in the film A Mighty Wind.

Chilliwack, BC-based Trisha Gagnon has been described by Sing Out! as “one of the
most versatile” and “irresistible” lead vocalists in bluegrass. Trisha anchors what Dirty
Linen magazine calls “gorgeous three-part harmonies.” Her solo album includes guests
Vince Gill and Peter Rowan.

Nanaimo, BC-based Nick Hornbuckle plays with a two-finger roll unlike other
contemporary banjo players. “Nick Hornbuckle’s banjo can be downright spine-tingling,”
said the L.A Daily News. His solo album 12×2 (+/-1), was nominated for a Canadian Folk
Music Award in 2015.

Spokane, WA-based Greg Spatz was hailed as a “world-class bluegrass fiddler”
by Fiddler Magazine. Audiophile Audition says Greg’s “virtuosic playing is flawlessly
delivered time after time,” while Bluegrass Unlimited says he “lays down some seriously
fine bluegrass fiddle”. He’s also an award-winning novelist.

Here is a little-known video of the band singing Lennon and McCartney’s “Two of Us”
from the Beatles’ Let it Be album. The sound leaves a little to be desired but the
performance is excellent, as usual!
