Visit the Porch at Bryant Park, and enjoy intimate concerts with talented local artists.
Vocalist Samoa Wilson and guitarist/vocalist Sean Walsh are joined by pedal steel guitarist James Wyatt Woodall in this intimate performance of country and folk music. Wilson has captivated audiences with a voice The New York Times calls “sweet, effortless, old-timey.” Raised in the riverbed of traditional North American folk music, she came up in the Boston scene, under the wing of jug band and folk legend Jim Kweskin. Her two duos, the Four O’Clock Flowers and Fatboy Wilson & Old Viejo Bones, have become staples of the thriving New York City folk community. Born in New Jersey, Sean Walsh began his musical journey amongst the New Brunswick all-ages house show punk scene and soon married that with a growing love of classic Americana. Soon, he relocated to Brooklyn and founded the band National Reserve.
