Jenny Scheinman's All Species Parade w/
Carmen Staaf, Steve Cardenas, Tony Scherr & Kenny Wollesen
Celebrate Earth Month with acclaimed violinist, singer, and songwriter Jenny Scheinman in a musical exploration of the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
In this concert, Scheinman presents selections from her newest album All Species Parade, focused on the extraordinary biodiversity of the region where she was raised, known as “The Lost Coast”—a stretch of mud-slide- and earthquake-prone coastline cut off from the main thoroughfares in Northern California. Her music evokes a sense of pastoral wonder and, in her words, strives to capture “a charged relationship to nature, a feeling of being part of something bigger than ourselves, powerful, and fragile, and constantly changing. Something alive. With All Species Parade, I set out to musically reflect that experience of awe.”

About Jenny Scheinman
Violinist, fiddler, singer, and songwriter Jenny Scheinman has worked with some of the world’s most innovative jazz artists such as Bill Frisell, Julian Lage, and Allison Miller. She has toured and recorded with American songwriting legends Lucinda Williams, Bruce Cockburn, Rodney Crowell, Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, Robbie Fulks, and Ani Difranco. Her work has been praised by The New York Times for its “distinctive vision of American music, suffused with plainspoken beauty and fortified by country, gospel, and melting-pot folk, along with jazz and the blues.”
Scheinman performed on the original cast recording of Anais Mitchell’s musical Hadestown and has written several feature-length movie scores including Avenue of the Giants. She has also released 11 albums of original music. In 2015 she gave a multimedia premiere at Duke University, entitled Kannapolis: A Moving Portrait which she continues to tour.
