American Patchwork Quartet is on a mission to reclaim the immigrant soul of American Roots Music. Comprised of four highly acclaimed artists, American Patchwork Quartet showcases the dynamic diversity of contemporary culture by reimagining timeless songs from America’s past.
American Patchwork Quartet (APQ)—founded by multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning guitarist and vocalist Clay Ross and shaped in collaboration with an ensemble of internationally celebrated musicians—binds timeless American folk songs with jazz sophistication, country twang, West African hypnotics and East Asian ornamentation. Their debut album was recently nominated for “Best Folk Album” at the 67th GRAMMY® Awards.
