Walter Parks, longtime guitarist sideman to Woodstock legend Richie Havens, joins accordionist extraordinaire Rob Curto in melding Southern US, European and South American musical influences. Their self-described “swampalachia” style re-imagines the soundtrack to the building of America wherein traditional hollers, reels, spirituals, work songs and hymns are all manifested in a contemporary way.
