2011 Juno Award Nominee - INSTRUMENTAL ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Two-time, JUNO Award-winning banjoist Jayme Stone’s brand new album, Room of Wonders, is inspired by folk dances from Norway, Sweden, Brazil, Bulgaria, Italy and North America. Following the international breakout success of Africa to Appalachia, the album features Grammy-nominated fiddle pioneer Casey Driessen, special guest nyckelharpa craftsman Olov Johansson, trumpeter Kevin Turcotte and many more. “JUNO Award-winning Stone, the Yo-Yo Ma of the banjo, celebrates his new album Room of Wonders, an inquiring, sublime work inspired by folk dances the world over,” - The Globe and Mail. “The music is as spirited as its creator. It’s hard to imagine a room large enough to contain the talent that went into its making, or the varied sounds it surveys” – Georgia Straight. “The Room of Wonders of the title perhaps refers to the inside of his head – Stone’s rich, unfettered imagination – as he pursues music inspired by folk dances from around the world” – Toronto Star. “Once again, Stone makes you forget the instrument’s hillbilly twang: this is banjo like you’ve never heard it before” – Ottawa Citizen.
