Petunia and the Vipers + Emily Rose Nyberg
GRANVILLE ISLAND JAZZ
PETUNIA AND THE VIPERS
Petunia and the Vipers seem to have time-travelled straight from the 1920s. Barnstorming through Western swing to early rock ‘n’ roll and rhythm and blues, theirs is a joyfully anachronistic symphony of picking, yodels, howls, and pure fun.
EMILY ROSE NYBERG
Emily Rose Nyberg learned to play guitar from her father Rodney, who heartily encouraged her unorthodox style. Now that he’s passed, Emily sings gospel, old-time country, and blues-inflected songs she’s road-tested in Southern Appalachia kitchen parties and East Van punk houses alike—bridging them to the heavens through inspired finger-picking on Rodney’s old hollow-body guitar.
