The folks at Spruce Peak Arts in Stowe have booked one hell of a show for Thursday, February 15: Sons of Mystro, a unique violin duo featuring two Black brothers, Malcolm and Umoja McNeish, who reinterpret reggae and dancehall songs for strings.
The McNeish brothers were motivated to create their sound as young men after meeting the groundbreaking duo Black Violin, who also came out of Florida and interpreted hip-hop music on violin. Inspired to try their hand at adapting music from their father’s home country of Jamaica, Sons of Mystro fuse classical mastery with a vibrant take on reggae and hip-hop.
