The word “relative” has several meanings. Thus, you could say that the meaning of “relative” is relative (which is another meaning right there). You could use the word in a sentence like, “my lottery numbers came relatively close last week,” or “I am under some obligation to visit my relatives this Thanksgiving,” or “try playing that chord progression with a relative minor,” or even, “here is some music that is relatively new to this world” – which is what we have on Routes & Branches & Beyond today!
I’ll play authentic outport accordion, intensely mesmeric Hebridean fiddle, bittersweet but hopeful narratives, rolling peatland tunes, old Dutch dances for lost cows, and Quebecois urban neo-folklore. From bands like Aaron Collis, Ryan Young, The Bombadils, Westward the Light, Emilyn Stam & John Daniel Williams, and Bon Débarras. Bring a relative and join us.
