Description
The Pickpocket Ensemble makes music at the crossroads—music inspired by global folk traditions from Eastern European and the Balkan, music drawing on klezmer, French musette, swing—even contemporary classical. The Ensemble blends together these inspirations to create a music that is hauntingly familiar and yet surprisingly fresh. Their music has been called “soul-wrenching” for its evocative passion.Chloe Allen: violin
Rick Corrigan: accordion and composition
Tim Fox: guitar
Greg Kehret: double bass
Brian Rice: percussion
Myra Joy: cello
“The band's meditative sound has been described as ‘cafe music without borders.’ Truth is that you would be hard-pressed the world over to find cafe music of this quality!”
—Dai Woosnam, Folkworld
“Una banda del pueblo para el pueblo.”
—Javier Moreno-Pollarolo, The San Francisco Tribune
