BRYCE EDWARDS

    Bryce Edwards, the "nouveau-vaudevillian" crooning troubadour and multi-instrumentalist who has made it his mission to reintroduce the musical language of the 1920s and 30s to New York’s cabaret and music scene can think of no better audience for his Frivolity Tri-OH! than the American Popular Song Society. Acclaimed for completely embodying the performers of the jazz age, Edwards will present a program that will attempt to illustrate the evolution of pop music and singing in the early 20th century, from the acoustic phonograph era to the advent of the ribbon microphone and the birth of crooning. Through a program of standards (as the world first heard them), obscurities, and musical odds and ends, Bryce hopes to paint a vibrant picture of American popular music as it was in its earliest days.

Stride piano wizard Conal Fowkes and New York’s premier antimodernist jazz cornetist Mike Davis join Bryce (who will be providing some hot licks of his own on banjo, ukulele, mandolin, and tenor guitar) in the Frivolity Tri-OH!
