Jazzy-Folk, Rockwood Ferry comes to 6OTS Saturday
OXFORD – Saturday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m., 6 On The Square (6OTS) welcomes progressive folk-jazzy ensemble, Rockwood Ferry to their stage. This relatively new group was formed by singer-songwriter-musician, Tenzin Chopak. His poetic lyrics are expressed through an ensemble of some of the finest musicians from Ithaca, New York.
For Tenzin Chopak, the name “Rockwood Ferry” conjures up beautiful, inspirational memories of a place in Ten Mile, TN, where he spent some of this youth. Tenzin’s mother was an artist and his father, a Presbyterian minister, and they both loved and played music.
Tenzin, who developed his creative talents as a songwriter, formed the Rockwood Ferry ensemble only as recently as 2011. Chopak uses a lyric palette to paint vivid images in the colors from his East Tennessee past. This emotional connection transports his music and listeners to new passionate places. The progressive sound of the group’s sophisticated strings and jazzy-roots instrumentation can be tender, even hypnotic, or it can let loose with blazing energy.
Accompanying Tenzin (vocals, acoustic guitar, and piano) will be some of his music collaborators— the classically trained, cross-over double bass phenomenon, Ethan Jodziewicz (Retrospectacles, Evil City String Band, Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand Band) and Gypsy jazz violin virtuoso, Eric Aceto (Djug Django, Aceto-Leiberman Quartet, TiTi Chickapea, and Mectapus).
Rockwood Ferry’s debut album “Speak Like Water” was released in May of 2012. It was a live, spontaneous and improvisational performance of seven original songs. A new album has been recorded with a release date planned for this April.
