Ida Jo

 

Here’s a photo of the incomparable Ida Jo at the High Noon Saloon at Wurst Times today.  Brats and beer are practically a sacrament in Wisconsin and we went to partake and enjoy local music during the holiday week-end.

My co-producer and partner Rick Acklin and I had many (ahem) “debates” about what music we wanted to use for this film.  Then last November we went to a fundraiser for the Second Harvest food bank and heard Ida Jo perform for the first time.  Immediately we agreed – there was no one else we wanted for the film.  She’s an amazing talent, with a unique plucking and bow technique and clear pure vocals.  Listen to one of her songs here.  Buy her albums here.
