As a member of the influential ‘90s drone/folk group Pelt, Jack Rose is one of those responsible for furthering the genre coined “weird new Americana.” Now on his own and armed with acoustic guitar, Rose explores combinations of early rural blues and east-meets-west folk influences, with hints of Indian classical (listen to 2004’s Raag Manifestos) and the steel-string fingerstyling of John Fahey or Robbie Basho. The nimble-fingered Glenn Jones (of Boston post-rock instrumental group Cul-de-Sac, and a friend of Fahey’s before he died in 2001) joins Rose on this tour. Together they—like Fahey before them—push the boundaries of their instruments toward a complex and unconventional blend of traditional folk elements gleaned from either hemisphere. Rose and Jones come to Soundlab on Saturday (Sept. 29) for a 9pm show.
