American Patchwork Quartet re‑imagines Americal folk songs, blending jazz sophistication, country twang, West African rhythms, and East Asian ornamentation. A stellar lineup of Grammy-winning artists brings four widely varying perspectives to a vision of unity in diversity.

At the helm is multi-Grammy-winning guitarist and vocalist Clay Ross, who is also the founder of the acclaimed Gullah group Ranky Tanky. With him are Falguni Shah, a Hindustani classical vocalist; Moto Fukushima, a Grammy nominated bassist; and Ocie Davis, a jazz percussionist.

APQ weaves America's cultural mosaic into an intricate and authentic musical narrative. Their carefully curated songs reflect the joys, sorrows, and resilience of a nation built on shared dreams and diverse histories.

Far from a random mix of genres, APQ’s music is a deliberate homage to America’s past and a celebration of its vibrant present. Like a cherished quilt, their melodies come together in harmony to create something timeless and meaningful.
