The Philly folk scene remains steadfast among the growing harvest of genres thriving on our fertile musical landscape. You’ll get a taste of some of the folk scene’s finest tonight at JB’s when Hezekiah Jones, a.k.a. Raph Cutrufello, and Emily “Birdie” Busch join forces. With the recent release of Everyone Will Take You In and plethora of local press/radio love, you should be no stranger to XPN darling Ms. Birdie Busch or her gentle flowing vocals (but don’t be fooled because this gal has some sass and soul in her). While Cutrufello may not receive all the accolades of his bill partner, he still simply continues to create beautiful comforting tunes that sometimes aren’t afraid to start a good ole hoedown. Be assured that plenty of the “Joneses” will be comin’ outta them there hills to join him (and her) on stage. But it’s all good in the hood because this evening’s theme is about family.
