“I want to drag klezmer music kicking and screaming back into the bars.”
That’s the goal of Vancouver singer-songwriter-accordion player Geoff Berner.
After numerous international tours, festival appearances, airplay on national radio in 7 countries, and slots on tour with artists such as Billy Bragg, Kaizers Orchestra, Balkan Beat Box and the Be Good Tanyas (who covered his song "Light Enough to Travel", selling over 100,000 copies), he's garnered critical acclaim and a cult following for his sharp songwriting and cabaret performance style.
Rae Spoon was born on the Canadian prairies of the 80’s.
Musically he traverses new territories from art folk, to indie-rock, to electronic/experimental and noise. Being in Europe influenced him to trade his banjo for a computer and his acoustic guitar for an electric. superioryouareinferior is an album of the times in that it doesn’t stick to one genre, but it retains Rae’s respect for well written songs and his folk music roots that keep him connected to his audience.
