McGonigel's Mucky Duck presents Circa Paleo.

The emotions, whether joyful celebration or sorrowful longing, weave a common thread among the many countries, eras and peoples represented. Experimental layering of ethnic drums and percussive rhythm create a supportive space for the expressive violin performances. Other instruments including saz, oud, ney, cittern, clarinet and charengo emerge as guest voices in these arrangements.

circa: from Latin circa “about” or “around”
paleo: prefix used in scientific combinations; from Greek palaio-, comb. form of palaios “old, ancient; also “far” (in space and time)
circa Paleo: around the world in approximate times.
Jenny and Josh hunt and gather from world-wide musical influences, while Jay provides wisdom of paleolithic proportions.
