Devin James Fry & Sari Andoni - Radicans

A stunning collaboration between Denver songwriter Devin James Fry and Palestinian oud master Sari Andoni, Radicans is a meditation on the value of setting aside expectations, opening one's heart to another, and letting the ear guide. Coming as it does during a time of reckoning and unrest in America, Radicans is a purposeful mingling of Arab and American folk and psychedelic music traditions, and serves as a lucid reminder that we are at our best creatively when we let ourselves be vulnerable with others.

Recorded live at Driftwork Sound in Austin TX, and featuring Janie Cowan on upright bass and Clayton Lillard at the drums, this deep eight-song includes tracks spanning decades. Lead track 'Abuse Nobody' was co-written by Fry and Andoni for this session, while the album's heaviest track 'The Animal Kingdom' has been heard at Fry's live shows reaching back 18 years.
