Jayme Stone: Musical Explorer Extraordinaire
Jayme Stone is more than a musician—he’s an instigator, a searchlight, a sonic adventurer. With 7 albums and over 500 songs to his name, he brings a kaleidoscope of global sounds to life. From Gullah spirituals to indie-pop anthems, Trinidadian calypsos to Indian rāgas, Stone thrives on uncovering the world’s hidden musical treasures.
His work tells rich stories of the people and places behind the melodies — whether it’s a 13th-century Bambara queen, the rugged roads of eastern Kentucky, or the shimmering Sea Island coastline. Each piece situates the music within its cultural, spiritual, and ecological contexts, offering audiences more than just sound — it’s a journey.
Jayme Stone: Master Producer and Collaborator
As a producer, Stone’s boundless curiosity and sharp aesthetic sense have fueled his award-winning career. His Africa to Appalachia album, a Juno-winning masterpiece created with Mansa Sissoko, connects two continents through vibrant, polyrhythmic storytelling. To bring it to life, Stone spent three transformative months in Mali, studying with kora and n’goni players, making field recordings, and tracing the African roots of the banjo. From jam sessions under baobab trees to all-night ceremonies in Dogon sandstone cliffs, his deep-dive approach creates music that resonates far beyond the notes. Jayme Stone is an instigator, a searchlight, an educator, a field worker, a synthesizer, a galvanizer. His curiosity, inquisitiveness, and capacity for deep listening are matched by a strong aesthetic sense, wide-ranging studio skills, and love of collaboration. Each of his albums is an extensive work of art and research.
About Folklife
Folklife is Jayme Stone’s groundbreaking project that transforms old field recordings into living, breathing works of art. Rather than treating these recordings as mere time capsules, Stone approaches them as heirloom seeds passed down from a bygone generation.
Planted in modern soil, these seeds bloom into vibrant reinterpretations of Sea Island spirituals, Creole calypsos, and stomp-down Appalachian dance tunes, bringing timeless traditions to contemporary audiences.
“A transatlantic session with blood, guts and grit.” - The Herald
