Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

North Americana

Last year, Po’ Girl played the Massao World Music Festival in Cameroon, the Montréal Jazz Festival and the Winnipeg Folk Festival. It’s credit to the Vancouver-based group’s seamless blend of styles and superior musicianship that they fit right in at all three. And credit Po’ Girl’s broad appeal — not to mention their self-designated “urban roots” idiom — to a sensuous, surprisingly cosmopolitan mix of old-world jazz and new-world folk. This Sunday, the pond-hopping, genre-jumping outfit will appear at Club Metronome with lovelorn Chicago songwriter JT Nero.
