Jeff Warner's Carrying Stream festival appearance may have seemed isolated after a two-day break from the main splurge of activity but he's an ideal participant in an event that celebrates a great folklorist.
Like the festival's inspiration, Hamish Henderson, Warner's parents went out into the field across the Atlantic to record singers who had songs passed down through their families and having inherited the fruits of this research, Warner presents a rich tapestry of American life, many facets of which have all but disappeared.
