Although separated by decades, cult hero Peter Walker and legendary Pelt member Jack Rose are both best known for embracing traditional folk instrumentation to make non-traditional music. Walker, whose 1967 album Rainy Day Raga blended Eastern and Western elements, studied with Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, and served as Timothy Leary’s musical director. Jack Rose and Pelt, on the other hand, emerged in the mid-90s as the primary architects of the melding of drone and traditional folk music touted as “New Weird America.” Since the early 2000s, Rose has performed solo, mixing folk blues and avant-garde elements. Most recently, he contributed to Raga for Peter Walker, a “tribute” album featuring performances by Walker himself and previously unrecorded songs adapted by musicians as varied as Thurston Moore and laptop artist Greg Davis. Catch Rose and Walker’s new folk roadshow at Soundlab on Monday (Dec. 4) 9pm.
