Isabel Fryszberg & the Uncommons (Rebecca Campbell and Logan W. McNeil) with Special Guest Lynn Harrison

April 27 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Isabel & the Uncommons are back this 4th Saturday and we are excited to have Logan W. McNeil joining the Uncommons on mandolin and special guest singer/songwriter Lynn Harrison!
Long time Tranzac host of the Bridge, Lynn Harrison is a very well seasoned and accomplished singer songwriter who released her 7th album "Treasure," in 2023. Her songs are like gems, each one uplifting and insightful music for complicated times. Her music has been described as "better than medicine" by Americana Highways. Lynn's voice and guitar playing are warm and intimate and she has a way of creating heartfelt connections with every audience.
Logan W. McNeil plays mandolin in the blue grass band Strange tooth and previously Houndstooth. Not only is he a great madolin player, and singer, but also a wonderful painter.
Isabel & the Uncommons with Rebecca Campbell(SPECIAL INTEREST, Lynn Miles, Collette and the Savants), are timeless, original, genre jumping songs from country, folk, blues to bluegrass with sweet harmonies and fun grooves. "Her tunes are like diner menus -- one column is organic, one is meat, one is side orders. Each song has its different tone, approach and presentation."— Nodepression
Isabel & the Uncommons have a regular, monthly residency at the Tranzac, and each one is filled with new surprises! Come and join us for a rich, late afternoon of inspirational music and community!

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, there 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.
