About Cinder Conk
Cinder Conk plays music drawn from the Black Sea -- the wellspring of Europe’s deepest and most diverse musical traditions. It is the sound of celebration and lament of those who have lived on its coast over thousands of years - Roma, Jews, peasants, and nationalists.
Cinder Conk weaves frenzied accordion riffs (Matthew Schreiber) with warm double bass counterpoint (Xar Adelberg) to create a sound that's energetic, gripping, winsome and haunting.
Cinder Conk has shared the stage with Slavic Soul Party, Beat Circus, Fishtank Ensemble, and The Toughcats; and played festivals including the sold out Free Range Music Festival in Maine, Balkan Night in Concord Mass, BARBES and the Zlatne Uste Golden Festival in Brooklyn NY.
Their debut CD, Kukeri, was released in spring 2011 and features traditional Balkan and original music. They also have three tunes featured on a quad-split record, released in June 2011.
