An evening of original folk-rooted jazz, with flavors from around the world. Streamed live from the City of Asylum tent.

AppalAsia was formed by Mimi Jong, Jeff Berman, and Sue Powers in Pittsburgh, PA. Together they have created an evocative and ambitious performance language for dulcimer, erhu, banjo, and vocals that combine the influence of their folk-roots with original composition and inspired improvisation.

*Please note: this is a test event as City of Asylum learns how to livestream from our new outdoor venue. We will send you a post-screening survey to ensure we are making the viewing experience topnotch. We're grateful for your participation!
