STRING TREK Alabama native violinist/violist LaDonna Smith and Russian born, now Kentuckian guitarist, Misha Feigin have rustled and ripened into a sympatico of old soul kindreds, thrashing the bushes, vibrating violas, painting portraits from rhythms and words, from out of the deeps of Russian to the southern soil and the homelands of dreams, and longing for the trails that lead to floating bridges and yokel yens. This new collaboration is called STRING TREK.
...............................................................................................................
LaDonna, a mistress of instrumental prowess and trailblazing catalyst for improvised music in the South teams with Misha Feigin, long-time poet, guitarist, musician of many languages, initiated a new collaboration some 8 or so years in the making, and flowing from the stream, launched their 2007 extended tour of Europe.
.............................................................................................................
"Smith's story of musical discovery and adventure led her from the recital
rooms in Tuscaloosa to collaboration with Davey Williams in the 1970's to underground surrealist groups to some of the first notable American cross-pollination with vanguard European free improvisors to tours in Soviet-era Russia and a long-running festival in her home base of Birmingham, Alabama. The following interview from the Perfect Sound Forever site does an excellent job at putting Smith's career into context and touches on many highlights, recommend reading it to get an idea of her background, worldview, and body of work"-Rob Cambre

Born and raised in Moscow, Misha Feigin left behind an established position in the local arts scene highlighted by his four albums on the "Melodia" label, features on major radio and television shows, and national and international tours when he immigrated to the US in 1990.
..........................................
Since his move to the West, Misha has performed in concerts in 47 US States and around the world in countries such as Canada, England, Scotland, Israel, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Denmark, and others.
