Search - Round Mountain :: Windward

Round Mountain presents many extremes: Bulgarian zydeco, klezmer and West African rhythms, wild bagpipes, trumpet and accordion played by one person at the same time, and beautiful acoustic numbers to name only a few elements. While their music is varied, however, it is far from random. There is a solvent behind all these different dry ingredients that allows the duo of Char and Robby Rothschild to blend their sound seamlessly: original songwriting with respect and love for their music, evident on their third album Windward. Round Mountain presents a rare rough gem of humanity that glows from within, producing what Seattle venue Egan's Ballard Jam House calls 'original roots music for a 21st century audience.' Windward captures the spontaneity and live appeal of Round Mountain, invoking the energy and intimacy of performing as a duo on stage, while highlighting the brothers' multi-instrumental talents.
