Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival

Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival

A brand new music festival in Chicago. On November 22 the stage of the Congress Theater will be filled with big name blues and bluegrass artists like The David Grisman Quintet and The Avett Brothers:

The Congress Theater, in conjunction with newly-formed KingTello Presents, is proud to announce the inaugural Chicago Bluegrass & Blues Festival (cbgbfestival.com). While rooted in the foot-stomping influences of bluegrass and blues, the Festival will transport the concertgoer through the genre-defying evolution of music today. The one-day event, held on Saturday, November 22nd from noon to midnight, will serve as a tribute to two schools of music that continue to shape and inspire contemporary rock, jamband, funk, folk, roots, Americana, and indie cultures.

Part of the proceeds will be donated to savingtinyhearts.org.

Escape from MySpace #17: The Yelling

Escape from MySpace
Escape from MySpace
Want to get out of the hell called MySpace? You can't. The posts are still up though. The section as such is closed.

Now that Wolfmother has been reduced to a one-man band with an uncertain future there's room for a new pet blues riff based hard rocking outfit. And it might as well be The Yelling from North Hollywood, CA. This quarter that taps into the Seventies (Led Zeppelin) and a bit further back (Humble Pie, Moby Grape, The Nice).

They are flogging a five track demo around garnering them some nice reviews. Catch The Yelling in a small venue before they make it big. Wear earplugs when you plan to go near the PA.

The Yelling:
Nathaniel Cox: vocals, guitar
Robert Davis: guitar
Michael Judd: drums
Chris McKee: bass

Live dates:
  • 11/05 Club Moscow @ Boardner’s Los Angeles, CA
  • 11/06 Future Sounds presents THE RUMBLE @ 3 of Clubs, Los Angeles, CA
  • 11/12 Club Moscow @ Boardner’s, Los Angeles, CA

Levellers: Letters From The Underground

Levellers
photo: Ami Barwell

You can rely on the Levellers. Britain's finest folk rockers with a policital conscience have been making albums since 1990, but they are a live act first and a recording band second. Their new album Letters From The Underground deals with contaminated water (The Cholera Well), refugees caught in raging wars, terrorist bombings (Behold A Pale Rider) and the USA trying to police the world and failing (Burn America Burn).

What make the Levellers bearable for less politically conscious concert goers is their high energy with the fiddle taking center stage, sometimes aided by didgeridoo player Stephen Boakes. The band gives it their all night after night, and so do the fans.

Levellers:
Mark Chadwick: vocals, guitar, harmonica
Simon Friend: guitar, banjo, vocals, mandolin, harmonica
Jeremy Cunningham: bass guitar, vocals
Charlie Heather: drums
Jon Sevink: fiddle
Matt Savage: keyboards, backing vocals

Ben Sollee: Something Worth Keeping

You must doing something right when you get Jim James (My Morning Jacket) on your 2 track EP Something Worth Keeping. Ben Sollee from Louisville, KY, pulled if off. His cello features prominently on all his songs, like a warm blanket covering his folky musings.

When I look around I see a lot of things that are worth keeping: the mountain tops of Appalachia, family and community farms, art and music in schools, and, most of all, a government by the people and for the people. But how? The challenge that our leaders and us face is that we don’t know how to accomplish these goals. There are many eloquent ideas out there about renewable energy, educational systems, and governing, but realizing them means trying new things; which is daunting at least, and terrifying at most. As my generation takes the reins we should not sacrifice some qualities of this nation and the land in its boundaries to the wayfaring spirit of economy. They are important for Americans, our children, and the rest of the world.

These thoughts inspired these two new songs. But they are only songs ...

Gladshot: Burn Up & Shine

Gladshot is a musical body from NYC beating with two different hearts. You have mellow keyboards tracks, courstesy of Debbie Andrews and the guitar rock tracks, delivered by Mike Blaxill. Their third album Burn Up & Shine celebrates both talents, making it a very nice pop rock record, Naming almost the complete sixties pop canon (they got Joe Butler of the Lovin' Spoonful in their video for Fabulous Friends) as their influences Gladshot is the kind of band that will put a smile on your face. They are smooth, they are rough, their songs are right in your face and will get stuck inside you head after just one spin.

With Chris Benelli on drums, Tony Tino on bass and Marc Copely riding shotgun on guitar Burn Up & Shine is pretty near the top of this year's best indie releases. It's produced by John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Hold Steady, Oxford Collapse).

Gladshot: Burn Up & Shine

Burn Up & Shine is released thru Frankly Mills Music.

Tracks:
  1. Fabulous Friends

Phish: "Good Times Bad Times > Paul and Silas > Pig In a Pen" from "At The Roxy"

Phish At The Roxy

A taste from the forthcoming Phish archival release At The Roxy (8-CD box set), recorded live Feb 19, 20, 21, 1993 Atlanta, GA:

The second concert of the run is one the most-collected live Phish bootlegs; however, this will be the first time they will be heard in true high fidelity. The recordings are drawn from soundman/luthier Paul Languedoc’s two-track soundboard reference DATs and mastered by regular Phish collaborator, Fred Kevorkian. One of the many highlights of At The Roxy is the second set of that show, which is highly celebrated for its extended suite of “Tweezer,” the James Gang’s “Walk Away,” “Mike’s Song,” the reggae song “Have Mercy,” Kiss’s “Rock and Roll All Nite” among other songs and improvisations. Several special guests join Phish onstage, including Jimmy Herring (Widespread Panic, the Allman Brothers Band, Aquarium Rescue Unit) during the second set of the first night and banjo player Jeff Mosier (Blueground Undergrass, Aquarium Rescue Unit, Leftover Salmon) for a bluegrass encore during the third show. This is Phish at their peak in terms of playful, anything-goes musical precociousness. This is the first complete multiple-show release since Hampton Comes Alive and the Island Tour of 1998.

MP3: Phish - Good Times Bad Times > Paul and Silas > Pig In A Pen
(live encore from At The Roxy - 1993/02/21 - w/ Jeff Mosier)

The box set drops November 18th. Pre-order At The Roxy at Phish Dry Goods.

Yarn: Empty Pockets

Yarn is in every sense a home-made band, that brings the great wide open to your door-step. Based in Brooklyn and fronted by main songwriter Blake Christiana their album Empty Pockets bridges the gap - if there is one - between bluegrass and more upbeat Americana. Christiana is best known from his electronic jam band Blake & The Family Dog. What started out as a side-project has blossomed into a real band, a quintet that is rooted in alternative country and old school country string band records.

Empty Pockets is filled with guest appearances. To name a few: Caitlin Cary adding vocals and fiddle to 5 Guitars, Edie Brickell on vocals for I'm Down, banjo virtuoso Tony Trischka and Casey Driessen on fiddle. You don't expect this kind of music to come out of NYC. but then again - it's a big city for with room for every kind of music on the planet.

Yarn:
Blake Christiana: vocals, guitar
Trevor MacArthur: vocals, guitar
Andrew Hendryx: mandolin
Rick Bugel: upright bass
Jay Frederick: drums, percussion

Sheryl Crow: Live

Sheryl Crow took the stage on June 8, 2004 in Chicago for what was later aired by PBS as a one hour performance in the long running Soundstage series. Although the show is now released as a stereo/5.1 HD picture DVD, it's no wonder why this show has been gathering dust on the shelves for so long. Nothing wrong with her vocal chords or guitar playing, especially when she switches to electric, but the performance never catches fire. She might as well been playing in a Wal-Mart or at Caesar's Palace to a strung-out audience.

All her hits are on it, as well as a few covers. Nick Lowe's classic (What’s So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding is a failure. Miss Crow looks either bored when she sings it or she is frowing because she has in serious trouble trying to remember the lyrics. Cat Stevens' The First Cut Is the Deepest is even worse. No heartache in sight, but it will surely hurt your ears. The whole show is on cruise control, so feel free to doze off and have a nice power nap.

The Real Tuesday Weld: The London Book of the Dead

The Real Tuesday Weld is basically Stephen Cotes, a UK musician who fell in love with '30s jazz and cabaret. The band is named after American film actress Tuesday Weld, a sixties sex bomb. Coates once had a dream involving Weld and '30s vocalist Al Bowlly.

Tongue firmly in cheek his album The London Book of the Dead is like a rolodex of early 20th century music, peppered with modern day electronics. Kix for instance is a spin-off of Cole Porter's I Get A Kick Out Of You, Apart is and Andrews Sisters pastiche, you get some sact singing in Cloud Cuckooland and Dorothy Parker is indeed a rather tragic song about this famous poet and writer.

Stephen Coates is living his dream of being a sharp witted composer to the fullest, landing him gigs in art galleries and writing music for the Tate Gallery. It's hardly rock 'n' roll, but it goes back to the hooks and riffs of a bygone era that is still more influential than most people are willing to acknowledge.

Brian Lee & His Orchestra: Vol. 1

Nashville trio Brian Lee & His Orchestra play slow songs with gospel and soul lurking in the background. Band leader Brian Lee claims that the music on Vol. 1 is "written with the driver on the road and the early morning cup of black coffee in mind". So what you get are soulful pop songs that tap you on the shoulder, telling you that life is not so bad after all.

If you like acoustic Neil Young downloading this free album is a no-brainer. Chalk up another band to watch for your Americana list. Brian Lee & His Orchestra play the kind music you are likely to hear when the Coen Brothers need a wide shot that zooms in ever so slowly. And be sure to put it on your portable MP3 thingy when you plan a long train trip.

Brian Lee & His Orchestra:
Brian Lee: singing and guitar, bass
Jordan Wankel: organ, wurlitzer, bells, keyboards
Ryan Young: drums

Adam Kiefer helped out on bass.

Annuals: Such Fun

When you pick a few Bob "every tree needs a little friend" Ross paintings for the cover art you expect a band with sunny tunes. And sure enough, the Annuals, a six piece from Raleigh, NC, peddle joyous sounding indie tunes on their Such Fun album. Despite the fact that all members are in their early twenties they play like seasoned veterans for a few bars and then dive in at the deep end of a song and coming up for air just when you start to think they have lost it.

Keep an eye on Anna Spence, a well versed keyboard player, who shines on most of the tracks.

Annuals:
Adam Baker: songwriter, vocals
Kenny Florence: lead guitar, backing vocals
Mike Robinson: bass, backing vocals
Anna Spence: keyboard, piano, backing vocals
Zak Oden: drums, guitar
Donzel Radford: drums, percussion

U-Melt: Halloween, NYE shows

Electronic jam groovers U-Melt have big plans for Halloween and NYE:

Perennial musical powerhouse U-Melt, together with Phanphest Entertainment, have officially announced their New Year's Eve 2008 Celebration, taking place this year at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Joining a long list of epic U-Melt New Year's Eve performances, this year's party will feature two long sets from the NYC based quartet and over seven hours of live music. With special guests BuzzUniverse, Lemon Juice and Keith Kenny, the music will be cranking starting at 8:00PM. Following U-Melt's extended double set will be Long Island favorites, The Point, closing the night out with a late night set.

Tickets for the all ages New Year's Eve show are $20 in advance and $25 the day of the show, if tickets remain. As an added bonus for the first 200 fans that pre-order tickets, U-Melt is offering a special commemorative poster for the show. Available through InTicketing.com, the environmentally friendly online ticketing company plants a tree for every ticket purchased through them. Phanphest Entertainment has also arranged for a special $99 hotel room rate for the night at the Berkely Carteret. Conveniently located in walking distance from The Stone Pony, the four people rooms are currently available under the "Stone Pony/Phanphest NYE Rate."

In addition to the New Year's Eve celebration, U-Melt has also announced their second annual Halloween Extravaganza. Capitalizing off of last year's widely successful, yet slightly risque "Gangsters and Gag Balls" theme when the band played a Pulp Fiction themed show peppered with songs from the soundtrack and video clips from the movie, U-Melt encourages fans this year to dress as their favorite 1970's rock star (or groupie). Taking place at the brand new Wescott Theater in Syracuse, New York, the high octane show promises to be full of surprises living up to the U-Melt moniker. Tickets for the 18 and over show are $10 in advance and $14 the day of the show. Doors open at 8:00PM with Jeff Bujak kicking off the party at 9:00PM.
Live dates:
  • 10/31 Syracuse, NY, The Westcott Theater
  • 11/01 Buffalo, NY, Nietzche's
  • 11/06 Manchester, CT, The Main Pub
  • 11/07 Boston, MA, Bill's Bar
  • 11/08 Troy, NY, Revolution Hall
  • 11/14 Canton, NY, St. Lawrence University
  • 11/15 Philadelphia, PA, The North Star
  • 12/23 New York, NY, Webster Hall (w/ Matisyahu)

Taylor Mills: about Brian Wilson and more

Taylor Mills
photo: Aqua Pulse Records

30daysout has an interview with Taylor Mills, the singer who toured extensively with Brian Wilson. About getting the gig:

I was recommended to Joe Thomas (Brian’s musical director at the time) by drummer Todd Sucherman, who I’d met a few months previously on a gig with saxophonist Steve Cole. I came in not knowing all that much of the legend and lore of Brian so I wasn’t very intimidated but more curious. I was given the song “Surf’s Up,” which I had never heard before to learn and perform just a few minutes later so it was a trial by fire! That was the beginning of a relationship that’s been going almost 10 years now.

John Cale: "Life Along The Borderline: A Tribute To Nico" to be released

Life Along the Borderline; a tribute to Nico
photo: Wonker

Apparently the management of John Cale has stated that there will be an official release of Life Along the Borderline: a tribute to Nico which was performed live at the Royal Festival Hall, London, October 11. Since the concert was pro-filmed the most likely format should include footage on DVD.

Autumn: Velvet Sky

Unlike most folk singer-songwriters Autumn Boukadakis's main instrument is not the acoustic guitar. She prefers the piano and it show in her songs that are more melodic than rhythmic. Her second album Velvet Sky was recorded in Nashville, but thankfully none of the current "cleaning things up" style of that city ended up on the album.

Autumn wrote seven of the songs for this album. Most of the other songs, including the title track, were composed by Walt Wilkins (who co-produced with Tim Lorsch). She can make a song her own, even getting away with a classic like Patty Griffin’s Nobody's Crying. She is getting ready for the next step, receiving more airplay every day in her native Texas. Coming up with all the songs for her next album might be a good idea.

Autumn: Velvet Sky

Velvet Sky is a self-released album. Buy from CD Baby. Download from iTunes.

Tracks:
  1. Rain Down
  2. Trees
  3. We Made the Spirits Move
  4. Trains I Missed
  5. Cowgirl Confessions
  6. Higher
  7. Velvet Sky
  8. Eagles
  9. Sunny
  10. Nobody's Crying
  11. Paint
  12. Lessons Never Learned
