About this event

Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem are a New England-based folk quartet. Arbo’s unmistakable smoky voice is joined with two lively baritones and a deep bass for the ultimate in harmonies. Add a guitar, fiddle, upright bass and an interesting percussion kit to the mix for an uplifting evening of sound.

Harmony, rhythm, indelible songs – these are the hallmarks of Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem, now in their 17th year. This band’s steadfast brew of wit, camaraderie, and musicality leaves audiences everywhere humming and hopeful, spirits renewed.

Rani Arbo & Daisy Mayhem are Rani Arbo (fiddle, guitar), Andrew Kinsey (bass, banjo, ukulele), Anand Nayak (electric and acoustic guitars) and Scott Kessel (percussion). With Kinsey and Nayak’s vibrant baritones and Kessel’s resonant bass, the band’s signature lockstep harmonies can shake the rafters or hush the room. Arbo’s fiddle is sweet and sinewy, while Nayak’s guitar stretches across genre lines. Kinsey’s old- time bass anchors the deep groove of Kessel’s homemade percussion kit — a truly funky collection of cardboard boxes, tin cans, caulk tubes, packing-tape tambourines, bottle-cap rattles, Mongolian jaw harps, and a vinyl suitcase.
