Tonglen Tunes: Nancy Bataille

After a long hiatus from playing music (work, raise kids, build, repeat) the play music light switched back on some time ago and it stuck.  After more than 45 winters in Alaska, Nancy now plays most of the winter season with her band The Silvahtones on the Big Island, and the rest of the year with her trio The Turnagains when they’re in AK, and other fabulous musical friends wherever a good jam is happening.  Almost all acoustic: fiddle, mandolin, bass, guitar (and keyboards now and then) with sweet vocal harmonies. Call it Americana – a mixture of folk, blues, country, bluegrass and rock.  Solo, Nancy plays guitar and sings.  Lots of Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, Doc Watson, Roseanne Cash, John Hiatt, Gillian Welch, just to name a few.  She’ll toss in a few originals too. Come on out, and bring your instrument if you want to jam after!
