Jan. 29: The Rakish Angles

Based on the Sunshine Coast, the boundary-crossing, genre-blending string band Rakish Angles weaves an intricate tapestry of newgrass, Latin, Gypsy jazz, and old-time music. The band’s members — Dean Richter on guitar, Simon Hocking on mandolin, Boyd Norman on bass, and Serena Eades on fiddle — complement their accomplished playing with their energetic, four-part vocal harmonies.

What makes the Angles unique is the collaborative spirit in which they put their pieces together. Each musician composes original instrumental and vocal pieces for the group, and then they all come together to arrange the tunes.

The Rakish Angles have toured widely, sharing stages with Tony Trischka, Doug Cox, Po’ Girl, Celso Machado, and many others.
