August 15, 2016 by 1888media

New York City’s Banjo Nickaru & Western Scooches, which features singer Betina Hershey, guitarist Nick Russo, vocalist Miles Griffith and percussionist David Pleasant, are likely the only band infusing elements of Gullah-Geechee culture with bluegrass, folk traditions, New Orleans influences, and music from the 1920s.

The quartet’s debut album, Very Next Thing, which showcases a high-spirited rendition of “Jock-A-Mo (Iko Iko),” is set for release on Sept 30. To promote the record, the group have announced a series of concerts and live radio performances including WoodSongs (Old Time Radio Hour), which tapes before a live audience at the Lyric Theatre in Lexington, KY and is syndicated to 500+ stations worldwide.
