LOCATION:Fairfield United Church :: 1303 Fairfield St. Victoria, 
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:<p>Those who know Oliver Swain and Emily Braden are aware the two have been collaborating for years; the award winning NYC Jazz singer and WCMA nominated folk artist have wowed international audiences from coast to coast touring with Swain's band BIG MACHINE. <br /><br />But last year something magical happened when they were paired with Kentucky-born cellist and former Sparrow Quartet (Bela Fleck) member Ben Sollee, during a festival workshop. For everyone involved, it quickly became obvious that the combination of the three created a unique spark that doesn't often happen. In attendance at that show was Peter Wrench, a Brighton (UK) based Theatre Owner who said, "My award for the very best session from a fine set of musical encounters has to go to a Big Machine/Ben Sollee jam on Monday afternoon. <br /><br />The combination of Sollee's cello and Swain's double bass and Emily Braden's beautiful jazz-inflected vocals, set up a rolling beast of a sound which seemed to surprise and delight its creators just as much as their audience. Everything from straight country to 'Kentucky calypso' to chaingang hollers was grist to a very fine mill."</p>
