Spoon River: Ella Jordan & Rob McCormac

Ella Jordan and Rob McCormac bridge disparate musical backgrounds together as Spoon River, a creative partnership whose contemporary variation on American folk music is at once charmingly timeworn and refreshingly their own. True to their respective Central Texas and Western North Carolina roots, their music resonates with the country, swing, and old-time legacies they venerate in performance, all while holding space for the poignant storytelling conveyed best through their thoughtful, original songwriting. On the heels of a rewarding sojourn to America’s Heartland, Spoon River’s recent relocation to the culturally rich community of Black Mountain, North Carolina feeds the duo’s fervent will to capture their worlds’ fragile beauty in song.
