The Americas Project featuring Kelsey Jillette Merrow

Co-led by Tony Romano and Kelsey Jillette, The Americas Project performs North and South American folk music. With cajon and wonderful assorted percussion, upright bass, nylon-string guitar and vocals, Jillette’s Latin-based combo plays music that’s groove some and melodious. “Kelsey Jillette cuts to the heart of a song with a canny incisiveness that belies her age. Her voice, all honey dewed ripeness, seems to inhabit disparate styles as naturally as taking successive breaths”   – Kevin Lynch, award-winning jazz journalist & author.
