Hailed by NPR’s Ann Powers as "maybe the leading interpreter of American folk music right now\," Fussell’s artistry breathes new life into traditional songs\, weaving archival melodies with fresh\, evocative arrangements. \n \nA singer\, guitarist\, and composer based in Durham\, NC\, Fussell’s intuitive approach to music draws from deep folk traditions\, transforming obscure historical tunes into something profoundly resonant. His latest album\, When I’m Called (Fat Possum Records\, 2024)\, produced by James Elkington\, features contributions from Blake Mills\, Ben Whiteley\, Joe Westerlund\, Joan Shelley\, and Robin Holcomb—a testament to his rich\, collaborative spirit. \n \nMost recently\, Fussell released a stunning rendition of "Close My Eyes"\, originally composed by the late American visionary Arthur Russell\, and composed the score for Rebuilding\, a feature film directed by Max Walker-Silvermanthat premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. \n \n"Fussell’s music often comes with complex citations; he is a folk singer in the truest sense\, collecting ideas and melodies and lyrics from distant and disparate traditions\, looking for the things that unite us in our humanity." – The New Yorker \n \n"One of the great magpies of American song\, collecting forgotten\, tarnished gems with a folklorist’s zeal… his renditions aren’t so much cover versions as composites…" – The Guardian \n \nSAMPLE SONG JAKE XERXES FUSSELL \n \nOpening for Jake is Christian & Cole. Christian & Cole are a dynamic duo specializing in captivating duets and brotherly harmonies. Drawing inspiration from iconic acts like The Carter Family and Everly Brothers\, featuring acoustic guitar and resonant dobro\, they breathe new life into classic folk and country tunes\, honoring tradition while blending a unique sound of their own. Released July 16th\, 2024\, their debut album\, Christian & Cole Sing & Play\, contains 8 harmony-filled tracks recorded live\, showcasing their authentic and heartfelt musical style." \n \nJoin us for an evening of deep-rooted storytelling\, mesmerizing guitar work\, and musical craftsmanship that bridges the past and present. \n \nSAMPLE SONG CHRISTIAN & COLE  \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n	\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 3:30 pm	\n	 \n \n	\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$70.49\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$73.75\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$36.87\n					\n				\n						\n				 \n				inclusive of fees\n			\n		\n	 \n \n	\n					\n				Get Tickets			\n					\n				Streaming\n			\n			\n	 \n\n\n \n	\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Livingston Taylor with opener Alex Radus\n\n				Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 2 • 8 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Folk Heritage Series: Eric Andersen Acoustic Duo with Steve Addabbo\n\n				Folk Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 8 • 8 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Skidmore Songwriters\n\n				Multi-act Program Singer Songwriter\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 10 • 2 PM
