Jubal’s Kin

Here at the Red Eyed Rooster we’re always on the lookout for the next generation of traditional music torchbearers and have found a promising young band of this ilk that we feel you should know about.
Jubal’s Kin is a talented brother and sister duo featuring Gailanne and Roger Amundsen on a variety of instruments who are quickly making a name for themselves, playing what they describe as “Appalachia-infused Cosmic Americana” music. They first ventured outside of their central Florida stomping grounds last summer to broaden their horizons on the regional festival circuit, where we’ve had the pleasure of making their acquaintance several times. Here’s a little “get to know your neighbor” video that we put together after catching up with them at Clifftop this past summer.

Their self titled debut album is a brilliant potpourri of traditional material, original songs and cover tunes (from an array of sources ranging from The Carter Family to Dolly Parton to The Decemberists,) and has been nominated in the first round of Grammy in at least 4 categories, including ‘Traditional Folk Album of the Year.’ In an effort to get their music before as many potential Grammy voters as possible, they are offering it as a free download for a limited time. We recommend that you take advantage of this opportunity while it lasts, download it and enjoy!

I saw these guys at Clifftop this year at their CD release. They are wonderful! Gailanne is the most amazing fiddler and I loved how they marry folk melodies to great lyrics and such a driving beat. She’s a foot stomper – rock on girl!
We jammed through an all night thunderstorm at Grey Fox last July. It was the highlight of our week. Get your wings & fly, Gailanne, Roger & Jeffrey!
Not only are they great musicians, they are also genuinely nice and modestly humble people. It’s not very often you can say that about musicians
. This band rocks!
Saw you on TV tonight. What a great and talented group! God bless you.
Saw them last night at Myakka River State Park. Wonderful!
The acoustics for your concert at Lakeland’s Arts on the Park Gallery were incredible. What amazing music from this trio — can’t wait to hear you again!
