    Bryce Rabideau - Meanwhile

    PITTSBURGH, PENN. — Bryce Rabideau has announced a May 19 release on Misra Records for his new album of original material entitled Meanwhile, available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

    About his new release Rabideau told us, "Meanwhile is a ten song exploration of the relationship between two titans of American improvised music: jazz and bluegrass. The mandolin-led trio compositions draw from an eclectic array of sources ranging from Wayne Shorter to Bela Fleck, 80s fusion to contemporary chamber folk, urban cityscapes to pastoral countrysides."

    Accompanied by John Bagnato on acoustic guitar and Jason Rafalak on upright bass, Rabideau uses each track as an opportunity to weave an intricate narrative between three disparate characters. The result is a cohesive suite that elevates the instruments out of their occasional role in modern American folk as auxiliary time-keepers and delightfully rails against a listener's expectations at every turn.
