Soulful swing meets Appalachian roots on this new song

Appalachian Road Show shares the latest from its forthcoming album ‘Jubilation’ with a soul-swinging sing-a-long called “La La Blues.” The song is available everywhere today (9.9). Listen here: youtu.be/kGp-y1Ec-kM

"'La La Blues,' written by one of our favorites, Pokey LaFarge, is absolutely the most fun you can have without getting into (too much) trouble,” says Appalachian Road Show fiddler Jim VanCleve. "It will, guaranteed, put a great big smile on your face and has been an instant sing-a-long showstopper for the Appalachian Road Show.”

Appalachian Road Show has earned praise from NPR All Things Considered, American Songwriter, Folk Alley and more for its revival of Appalachian traditions and culture through fierce instrumentation and narrative lyrics. Following its 2020 “masterpiece” (WPLN) ‘Tribulation,’ the band returns with the celebratory ‘Jubilation,’ which is out October 7 via Billy Blue Records.

The performance features Jerry Garcia performing with friend, mentor and legendary keyboardist/vocalist Merl Saunders. The duo is joined by drummer Bill Vitt and bassist John Kahn, who soon became a lifelong Garcia collaborator.
