Search - The Bob MacKenzie Group :: Assume Nothing

The Bob MacKenzie Group, also known as Poem de Terre, is a multi-disciplinary ensemble melding live folk music and spoken word with contemporary and more established musical forms. Begun in the summer of 1993, Bob MacKenzie's Poem de Terre has evolved organically to develop a unique sound and style that features a strong repertoire of original material and new versions of music and spoken word pieces previously performed or recorded by other artists. While the musical style of Poem de Terre's material crosses all genres, at heart the music is folk. Building upon this foundation of folk music, Poem de Terre draws upon many influences to create music for the new millenium. As much as the music, words are central to Poem de Terre's work, bringing stories and ideas to the community in the form of live performance. Poem de Terre is a community and an integral part of the larger community in which these artists live. Poem de Terre is about saying something worthwhile and it is about love. The music on Assume Nothing is an exciting blend of musical genres sung lyrics and spoken word performance.
