Isabel Fryszberg & the Uncommons with Special Guests Hobo Soles

This will be double fun! Isabel Fryszberg and The Uncommons with Rebecca Campbell and Shelley Coopersmith and Special Guests Hobo Soles (Conny Nowe and Rachel Melas)! Isabel writes or co-writes original songs that spans many genres from folk, jazz, country to blues. Together with Rebecca and Shelley joined by Conny and Rachel on this occasion, you will hear sweet harmonies and jumping, jiving rhythm. Conny and Rachel will regale you with a set of their fabulous Hobo Soles old-time and klezmer music.

Isabel Fryszberg and The Uncommons

Isabel and the Uncommons is a trio, featuring songwriter, singer, and guitarist Isabel Fryszberg, Steve Briggs (Russell DeCarle, Sylvia Tyson) on lead guitar, and Rebecca Campbell (the SPECIAL INTEREST group, Sultans of String, Lynn Miles) on harmonies, percussion, and harmonica.

Visual artist and singer-songwriter Isabel Fryszberg has written or co-written a diverse repertoire, inspired by traditional folk, country, blues, bluegrass, and jazz. For her Tranzac residency, there will also be a tasty, ‘uncommon' cover or two brought to the mix. Some songs are matters of the heart, or stories that only a song can tell. Others are philosophical, and raise questions about our current urban landscape and life. But don’t be fooled - there will also be songs that will make you laugh or smile.

"All faithful to an old tradition, while definitely walking the other side of the street."
— John Apice, Nodepression Music Journal

Over the course of Isabel’s residency, ‘uncommon’ guests will introduce new sounds - fiddle, mandolin, pedal steel - to the Uncommons mix. And to share the opportunity to play in the storied Southern Cross, special guest singer-songwriters will also share the bill from time to time.
