Jade and Jute (Minneapolis musicians Chriss Mester and Mark Schirmacher) have sought to kindle flickering aural flames and flow streaming lyrical, instrumental, and vocal tributaries into the eary canals of listeners for over a decade. Blending acoustic and electric guitars with harmonica, mandolin, piano, keyboard, trumpet,and accordian, Jade and Jute have infused moonlit tones and wind-blown melodies with tongue-twisted, tempestuous tales of love, longing, elation, resolve, and wanderlust for audiences to imbibe and embrace.
