Isabel Fryszberg and The Uncommons
Isabel and the Uncommons is a trio, featuring songwriter, singer, and guitarist Isabel Fryszberg, Steve Briggs (Russell DeCarle, Sylvia Tyson) on lead guitar , and Rebecca Campbell (the SPECIAL INTEREST group, Sultans of String, Lynn Miles) on harmonies, percussion, and harmonica .
Visual artist and singer songwriter Isabel Fryszberg has written or co-written a diverse repertoire, inspired by traditional folk, country, blues, bluegrass, and jazz. For her Tranzac residency, t here will also be a tasty, ‘uncommon' cover or two brought to the mix. Some songs are matters of the heart, or stories that only a song can tell. Others are philosophical, and raise questions about our current urban landscape and life. But don’t be fooled - there will also be songs that will make you laugh or smile.
All faithful to an old tradition, while definitely walking the other side of the street
- John Apice, Nodepression Music Journal.
Over the course of Isabel’s residency, ‘uncommon’ guests will introduce new sounds - fiddle, mandolin, pedal steel - to the Uncommons mix. And to share the opportunity to play in the storied Southern Cross , special guest singer songwriters will also share the bill from time to time.
