Folk minstrel and storybook illustrator Yaelokre plays Newport Music Hall with support from Ben Caplan and Keath Ósk.
Yaelokre plays Newport Music Hall on Sunday, November 15, with Ben Caplan and Keath Ósk opening. It's a folk bill that brings together three distinct voices on one stage, and it's an all-ages show, so you can bring the kids along if you're planning a family night.
If you haven't come across Yaelokre yet, they're a minstrel and storybook illustrator whose music comes from a world they call Meadowlark. Their album The Storyteller is described as a vibrant world full of story and song, drawing on plays and fairytales. The project sits in the folk genre and hails from Manila in the Philippines, so the songs carry that storyteller's tradition—the kind of music that feels like it belongs in a book as much as on a record. Ben Caplan and Keath Ósk round out the lineup, each bringing their own approach to the folk tradition to the night.
There's one practical detail to keep in mind if you've been following this tour: the Columbus date was moved from A&R Music Bar, where it had been scheduled for Sunday, October 25. If you bought tickets for that original venue, they'll still be honored here—no exchanges necessary, so you can just bring what you already have. The move puts the show at Newport Music Hall instead, and the date is now November 15.
