American Patchwork Quartet (APQ) is on a mission to reclaim the immigrant soul of American Roots Music. Comprised of four highly acclaimed artists, APQ showcases the dynamic diversity of contemporary culture by reimagining timeless songs from America’s past.
“America has a patchwork culture made of the dreams and songs of all its people.” – Alan Lomax.
Founded by multi-Grammy Award-winning guitarist and vocalist Clay Ross, APQ was shaped in collaboration with an ensemble of internationally celebrated musicians. The group 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.
