Meredith Axelrod delights audiences far and wide with her renditions of historic American popular songs from the 1890s through the 1930s.
Genres include ragtime, jug-band, blues, pop. jazz, and ballad.  She learns these tunes directly from the people who performed them when they were in fashion - that is, off original 78 records.  Learning the tunes from the records or off the sheet music as opposed to learning them from other modern-day performers brings a rare influence to Axelrod's style that seems very unusual, very old-fashioned.
