Nuance & Old Uncles

Do you have a crazy old uncle? The kind who shows up to family gatherings with clothes that are decades old, enough hair in his ears to account for his loss of hearing, toting his banjo with him and
always ready to break into a little Foggy Mountain Breakdown or a Gershwin number and dance around like a drunken loon, knowingly oblivious to how odd he is and having a great time just the same?

No, of course, you don't. These sorts of characters are a rare find in our ever-homogenized society.

With the release of their debut album, Nuance.& Old Uncles have produced the sonic equivalent of that crazy old uncle. The album, "It's Called Nuance", is an acoustic romp through what feels like over 100 years' worth of living room music, music that might have been played on a Saturday evening, gathered around a living room fireplace in days gone by.

Nuance is a quartet of Louisville-area veteran musicians, long-time friends who've gathered to set the mood for a lazy night at home.
Playing a variety of instruments- from accordion to kazoo, with some ragtime piano, banjo, mandolin, guitar, fiddle and bass thrown in for good measure - and with sparkling harmonies, Nuance rocks the homestead with 17 rousing gospel, swing, folk, country and blues classics.

Memphis Bec Gentry, originally from McQuady, KY, is a dynamic singer of blues and swing as well traditional country and bluegrass genres. Her innate musical talent is in the spotlight with her melodic mandolin breaks and driving rhythm. Bec brings high energy and a wealth of traditional American material to the group. Bec was a founder of the 1970's Falls City Ramblers in Louisville, KY, and she has traveled the country, played in the Big City and she creates lasting fans wherever she goes!

Mike (Fog) O'Bryan is the leading accordionist in LA  ...the Louisville Area, that is!? "Uncle" Fog plays fiddle tunes on the accordion and piano jams with the best of 'em! Mike is a veteran of many musical stylings with diverse performance credits ranging from the Louisville Ballet to the Falls City Ramblers. He has previously recorded: bluegrass music with Kentucky Blue; folk music with Kentucky Homefront founder, John Gage; cajun-style with Steve Ferguson's Midwest Creole Ensemble; and southern swing with Memphis Bec and the Red Hots.

Both born and raised in Dayton, OH, Mary Jo (on acoustic guitar) and "Uncle" Charlie Leet (on stand-up bass) have been performing and recording in the acoustic music industry for over twenty years, traveling internationally as well as throughout the United States. Currently residents of The Crooked Road - Virginia's Heritage Music Trail in Patrick County, VA, they spent over fifteen years as the "rhythm core" of the Dry Branch Fire Squad bluegrass band and recorded eight CD projects with the band on Rounder Records.  This new Nuance. CD, "It's Called Nuance", provides an opportunity to stretch the bounds of their music, finding many roots!

These four engaging and energetic musicians have joined together to create NUANCE.& OLD UNCLES. With their natural ability to connect with the audience and obvious joy in making music together, NUANCE. & OLD UNCLES will leave you with a fine-tuned experience!

NUANCE. & OLD Uncles has been igniting audiences throughout the Midwest including the Kentucky State Fair, the historic Findlay Market in Cincinnati and Tipp Roller Mill Theater in Tipp City, OH, and the legendary Mitchell Opry House in Indiana. Their recently released debut CD, "It's Called Nuance", will be adding fuel to the fire!
