Alice and Josh are a folk/rock duo that is both woodsy and jammy. Improvisation is a specialty of both performers, and they will often “go off the beaten track” often in order to keep every show fresh and spontaneous.
Alice Hasen and Josh Threlkeld”s collaborative EP, “The Aisling Farm Sessions,” drops August 25, 2023. This six-track project will be a formal introduction to the Memphis duo. Both Hasen and Threlkeld come from strong instrumental backgrounds, with cumulative decades of experience in both the classical and folk worlds. The pair loves to go to spontaneous and unexpected places, and this project reflects that passion (the first song is entitled “Off the Beaten”). From there, Threlkeld reinterprets an Old Time fiddle tune, “Angeline the Baker,” and Hasen evokes wistful longing for her Vermont roots with “Come Round.” Songs covered include Van Morrison’s “Moondance,” “Promentory” (from The Last of the Mohicans), and “Achilles Jig” in a special nod to fiddler Bill Thurman. “The Aisling Farm Sessions” was recorded live in March 2023 in Limerick cabin, on Len and Susan Lawhon’s Aisling Farm.
