SUMMARY:TS WEBB/ Glenn Davis
DESCRIPTION:Bluesman TS WEBB autobio: \nwith one cigarette stuck in the guards of his saxophone and another in his jaw while playing major metropolitan arenas and fields of flora and fauna for the last forty-five years.\n…back lot dirt tracks with clapped-out British motorcycles held together by shoestrings and baling wire.\nAs the northern temps dropped\, headed for the frozen lakes of Wisconsin and northern Illinois in a non-working heatered 69 Ford van to lap the plowed lake and river tracks with so many other madmen and madwomen.\n…motors SCREAMING in the crystallized air of twenty below temperatures.\n…then on to evenings filled with raunchy\, driving Blues music\, OUT came the piano from the ice-racing van to clank the Blues in the Cornfields with his “brothers in arms” in those farm clubs surrounded by bleached corn husked desolation with the likes of Glenn Davis and the Blues Commission\, Pat Hall\, Charlie Peterson\, Big Jack Bosian\, Dave Wood\, Jumbo Jim Johnson blowin’ harp\, Jon McDonald\, Edgar Gabriel\, Magic Slim\, Heartsfield with the great Perry Jordan\, Jimmy Burns\, Charlie Pierce and Greg McDaniel.\n…back down to the city with Ron Haynes\, Steve Hashimoto\, Zvonimir Tot\, horns for Greg Allman during a massive Chicago snowstorm reminiscent of a seventies show at the Aragon Ballroom with ZZ Top and old friend Richie Havens\, where T.S. came out on stage in a white satin suit to a grand piano and had his soprano saxophone tied up to the rafters and swung down into his hands while standing at the piano…SHOWTIME!\nHe’s not done\, yet!\nDrinking incessantly for thirty-eight of his sixty-five years\, he gave it all up to move to Bisbee\, Arizona. Now\, sitting down at his piano delivering the distillation in its simplest form\, piano and vocal\, raw\, sometimes sweet\, sometimes rasping renditions of his material condensed over half his lifetime of diverse multidirectional\, multifaceted living and writing\, writing and living.\nWatching and listening to T.S. Henry Webb is like driving from one end of Bisbee to the other. Metropolitan to down home country\, symphonic to Broadway\, Blues to burlesque\, polka\, vamps to vaudville\, vortical instrumental meanderings to purposely soulful lovesongs and musical statements\, unmistakeably original and filled with fun and emotion.\nThe struggle of recording his material starting in the analog universe of 1964 right on up through the seventies\, with producer Teo Macero\, and into the analog to digital difficulties of the eighties\, and finally\, in the nineties\, being able to transfer a goodly percentage of the early work in pure analog pounded in on premium Ampex 456 at +3.5db. to pure digital with lots of headroom.\nFollowing a shot at reigniting the Flock\, onward ho! Back to solo in Bisbee.\nSimple\, straight forward Webb\, piano and vocals\, coming to a place for you to listen…soon. \n\n“Listening to TS Henry Webb’s music is like taking a walk thru your own transgenerational bohemia; the sun is shining in your favorite cafe\, as old beatniks\, young slackers\, and foreign travelers drink coffee\, smile and listen with the heart”.\n“T.S. can shift gears suddenly\, and from sunny day\, take you to urban full moon night; neon souls walking midnight streets\, when 3AM is always yesterday’s madness and tomorrow’s new dawn.”\n“All too often ‘alternative ‘ music seems to mean ‘the musicians can’t play’. It’s nice to find alternative music that is grounded in melody\, rhythm\, meter\, counterpoint. In short\, real music.”   Kevin L. Burrows – Liner Notes\n\nOpening will be TS friend and venerated local blues guitarist Glenn Davis. \nGlenn Davis plays in a variety of different configurations\, solo\, duet\, in a band.  His material is blues based\, original based\, somewhat oldie based (especially the good ones.) Musicians that regularly appear with Glenn are Westside Andy(Madison) and “Birdog” Ken Oluf. These are top notch Blues harp players. Also Glenn occasionally works with Matt Goodwin or David Potter on guitar\, Big Jim Johnson on vocals\, harp as well as Rodney Brown on sax.

SUMMARY:PIPER ROAD
DESCRIPTION:PIPER ROAD is: \nRandal Harrison – Fiddle\nBob Mason – Mandolin\nMark Hembree — Bass\nBarry Riese — Guitar – Vocals\nBill Kangaroo — Washboard \nPiper Road was born into the age of rock & roll with individual backgrounds diverse as classical\, cowboy\, folk\, blues and Dixieland.

They never completely abandoned their musical roots and have blended Irish fiddle tunes with American country\, big band\, novelty and space-aged Grateful Dead inspired jams. \nThe band continues to swing! With their strong bond of friendship\, commitment to quality musicianship and continuing support of a strong fan base\, Piper Road invites you to join them as their show hits the road. The current Piper Road roster has accumulated over 100 years of experience performing together.

SUMMARY:MICHAEL FRACASSO/ RALSTON BOWLES/ PHIL MADEIRA
DESCRIPTION:A whoppin’ triple bill fell out of the sky.  This combo plate booking should provide an evening’s worth of great art. \nUpon arriving in Austin\, TX in 1990 from New York City\, MICHAEL FRACASSO was promptly voted Best New Artist in Music City Texas ‘Insiders’ poll and was able to record his first CD\, Love & Trust which features a duet with Lucinda Williams. He has made two albums with producer/ guitarist Charlie Sexton (World in a Drop of Water and Back to Oklahoma) and also collaborated with Charlie to write and record the music for the movie Monster Hunter. His 2004 album\, Pocketful of Rain featured a duet with Grammy winner Patty Griffin for whom Michael opened her Spring 2006 tour. He has toured extensively throughout the US\, Europe and Japan. His 2007 release\, Red Dog Blues went to #1 on the Americana Chart in Europe. For his seventh CD\, Saint Monday (April 26\, 2011) Fracasso returned to a harder-hitting sound of a full rock band and “…remains one of Austin’s most distinctive voices.” – Jim Caligiuri – Austin Chronicle. He was short listed for the Austin Public Library Award for literary achievement in 2011 and was on the “Best of 2011” list for several publications including Third Coast Music\, San Antonio Express News and Austin Chronicle. \nRALSTON BOWLES  His albums stand as thoughtful gifts to receptive concert goers who desire to hold something that can bring them back to those sentinel moments when they felt maybe certain parts of their minds and hearts somehow shared the stage with this growing legend. \nHis distinct brand of folk music is a contemporary gem that shares the social insights brought by ’60s and ’70s predecessors\, but allows for an infusion of worldly influence and carries an undeniable personal and independent tone. \nAs a testament\, Ralston’s writing has garnered prizes from American Songwriter Magazine\, Nashville Songwriters Association International\, Country Music Television\, Unisong\, International Song Competition and Kerrville New Folk. \nIn his travels\, Ralston has been asked to open and sometimes play with musical luminaries of the grandest sort\, including Shawn Colvin\, T-Bone Burnett\, Arlo Guthrie\, Judy Collins\, Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. \nThrough all this\, a notion that Ralston once shared with a music reviewer serves as the very same sentiment that keeps his creativity\, his career and his life in line. \n“If the song is good\,” Ralston said. “There’s not much you can do to kill it.” \nPHIL MADEIRA   \nPhil Madeira is a Nashville-based musician\, artist\, songwriter and producer. He has been a behind-the-scenes shaker and mover as a band member (Emmylou Harris; Her Red Dirt Boys\, Buddy Miller\, The Phil Keaggy Band) and session musician/songwriter (Alison Krauss\, Mat Kearney\, Old Crow Medicine Show\, Buddy Miller\, Garth Brooks\, Toby Keith\, Daniel Amos\, Amy Grant\, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band\, The Civil Wars\, Julie Miller\, The Band Perry\, and many more). \nPhil is also  a front man\, author\, and painter/artist. \n  \n

SUMMARY:RICHARD PAUL THOMAS/ BILL CAMPLIN
DESCRIPTION:Song swaps throw performers together to rotate\, doing a song each before tossing the hot potato to the next person.  Always fun and interesting.  We would have been happy to have DOROTHY and RICHARD PAUL  back  with  not so lonesome BILL CAMPLIN\, EXCEPT that now DOROTHY cannot make it. \nRichard Paul (his friends call him RpT) is a free-thinking dreamer and Texas-based songwriter with decades of love\, life and laughter to share.  His songwriting spans a wide range of musical genres and emotional experiences ranging from light hearted fun to challenging one’s convictions about life and our place in the world.  His writing and performance style encompasses elements of R&B\, jazz\, ballads and good old rock n’ roll.  RpT’s soulful voice ranges from thermal to edgy reflecting the musical influences of a lifetime.  His thought-provoking lyrics speak to the heart and soul of the listener while thoroughly entertaining his audiences. \nWe were looking forward to hearing  Dorothy Scott  again\, but\, alas\, she cannot make it. \nBill Camplin has a record as long as your arm\, not taking into account that a lot of arms are different lengths.  Well known as a singer/songwriter and acoustic guitarist\, he was an integral part of the Milwaukee acoustic folk scene for many years and is also proprietor (along with Kitty Welch) of the World Famous Café Carpe in Fort Atkinson\, Wisconsin.  Folksy bluesy jazzy countryy- the guy applies his chops to all those genres. \n  \n

SUMMARY:THE WRONG OMAR
DESCRIPTION:Joey Shaheen aka: “The Wrong Omar” is a Minneapolis based singer/songwriter doing a warm blend of roots/folk/rock with blues and  jazz harp\, storytelling\, and a little quirk. He has been touring the US and Canada\, singing his “sidewalk confessionals of bad choices” with a tongue-in-cheek curmudgeon persona for old souls of all ages. \nHis solo acoustic show follows a string of radio and TV performances throughout the Southeast and Mid-West. Soulful work on the piano leads to a set of guitar/harp and foot tambo songs that can be best described as: “crying tears of joy while making love”.  You might also laugh yourself silly with some of his stories. Be warned: you may walk away with these tunes stuck in your head\, and you will be encouraged to sing along at times too.

SUMMARY:HARPETH RISING
DESCRIPTION:This Nashville trio fuses folk\, “newgrass\,” rock\, and classical into an organically unique sound\, showcasing expansive three-part harmonies\, consummate musicianship\, and astute\, soulful lyrics. \nHarpeth Rising chose to name themselves after a river because water is both dynamic and powerful. These words also describe the music created by the three women – Jordana Greenberg (violin\, vocals)\, Rebecca Reed-Lunn (banjo\, vocals) and Maria Di Meglio (cello\, vocals). \n“We don’t set out to create something different\, we just write in a way that is true to ourselves while trying to always expand and explore the new influences in our lives.” says Greenberg. “We’re aware of genre divisions\, we’re just not bound by them.” \nHarpeth Rising’s roots run deep – from their varied ancestry across Eastern Europe to the musical hotbed of the Mid-South they now call home\, they weave together ancient and modern ideas\, expressing themselves through the common thread of all peoples: Folk Music. \nBorn from the desire to write and create original music\, Harpeth Rising began on a cross-country road trip. After spending a summer jamming at campsites and attending bluegrass festivals\, Jordana Greenberg (violin) and Rebecca Reed-Lunn (banjo) decided to keep the adventure alive. They started writing songs and playing out 4 to 5 nights a week\, developing their sound and honing their chops. But it was with the addition of Maria Di Meglio (cello) that Harpeth Rising truly found its sound. Despite the presence of only three string instruments on stage\, the three women produce a profusion of sound generally created by a much larger ensemble. Di Meglio transitions fluidly between providing the bass line and taking the melodic lead\, while Reed-Lunn’s highly original style of claw hammer banjo–learned mainly by watching YouTube–is both surprisingly lyrical and intensely driving. Greenberg takes on the role of concert violinist and accompanist with equal facility\, and ensures that a lead guitar is never missed. \nTheir live performances are high-energy kinetic events in which both their abilities and their passion for performance are obvious. Harpeth Rising can create a listening room from a rowdy bar crowd\, and can inspire even the weariest of audiences. After only a few months as a band\, they embarked on a self-booked tour of England\, which included a performance with The Bath Philharmonia. They were invited to perform at The Cambridge Folk Festival the following summer\, and have since played folk festivals across England and the United States. Building their fan base in the tradition of all wandering minstrels – passionately and by word-of-mouth – they now perform to sold-out audiences internationally. They have released four albums in as many years – Harpeth Rising (2010)\, Dead Man’s Hand (2011)\, The End of the World (2012)\, a collaboration with master wordsmith David Greenberg\, father of Jordana\, and their brand new project\, Tales From Jackson Bridge\, which released October 1\, 2013. \nRemember to reserve. \n

SUMMARY:TIM FAST
DESCRIPTION:TIM FAST could be a character in one of the gems-of-a-song he writes and sings. He’s a dust-covered man who has traveled the roads in search of whatever song is over the next rise. That sense of adventure has given him a catalog of great original songs that have touched audiences from coast to coast and all the way from his native Minnesota down to the Texas Gulf Coast. \n“I know how to write a good song and know when it works but in the end\, the audience lets me know\,” Tim says as his hands cradle a cup of coffee. A line like that might sound boastful coming from most people\, but Tim is too disarming to come off that way. The proof that he has arrived as a touring musician comes in his 150-plus bookings a year and the fact celebrated songwriters like Cliff Eberhardt and James Keelaghan are big fans. Keelaghan said that besides being an “excellent songwriter\,” Tim has “the sweetest voice I’ve heard in a long time.” High praise indeed. \nTim taught himself to play guitar at a young age (he still doesn’t read music) and his first guitar was a Silvertone his parents bought him after he tried building his own guitar after seeing the Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show” when he was 8. He counts the late Chicago singer-songwriter Steve Goodman as one of his biggest early influences. After seeing Goodman perform in Minneapolis in 1975\, Tim decided\, “That’s what I wanted to do the rest of my life.” From then on\, his life was about music. \nIn pursuit of that dream\, he traveled roads that gave him a breadth of experience and would serve him well when he decided to become a full-time troubadour. He bussed tables\, worked crab boats out of Dutch Harbor\, Alaska\, fabricated sheet metal\, inspected produce for the California Department of Food and Agriculture and worked as a stonemason. Woody Guthrie once advised\, “All you can write is what you see\,” and Tim let the characters he met and the roads he ambled tell the stories in his songs. “Many of my songs are about life’s experiences because the best songs come from what you know best\,” he said. He’s told those stories on three well-received albums — the self-titled Tim Fast in 2003\, followed by Starlite Drive-In in 2007 and his latest\, Crooked Door\, released in 2011. \nTim’s talent has been recognized by his peers. He’s studied with some of the greats of contemporary acoustic music\, including David Wilcox\, fellow Minnesotan Pat Donahue\, Kathy Mattea\, Johnsmith and Ellis Paul\, to name a few. Cliff Eberhardt was so impressed with Tim that he asked him to tour with him as his opening act. Eberhardt saw what audiences have long seen: that Tim has a dazzling repertoire of original songs that leave people humming and thinking — and ready to join him on his journey to see what’s over the next rise. \nPlease call to reserve. \n

SUMMARY:MIKE DOWLING
DESCRIPTION:MIKE DOWLING– bottleneck blues\, vintage swing\, ragtime\, and more\, played with grace\, wit and dazzling dexterity \nMike doesn’t come through that often\, so don’t miss the opportunity to hear this world-class guitarist. \n“Dowling is one of the most relaxed and highly skilled acoustic guitar players of his generation that I have ever heard. Everything he performs appears natural and deceptively effortless\, and with a tone\, particularly when he plays slide guitar that is very much his own and that very few others can emulate. His vocals have an engaging edge and alongside his consummate guitar skills there was nothing to criticize. After a number of encores a member of the audience spontaneously stood up and gave a heartfelt thanks to Mike for such a wonderful evening.”\nOctober 2003 performance review\,  Blues in Britain. \nMike will be promoting his new CD\, though it is not yet available.

SUMMARY:SAM LLANAS
DESCRIPTION:Sam will be playing solo this night. \nSam is a singer\, acoustic guitarist\, and songwriter in several rock and roots rock bands active from the 1980s to the 2000s\, including the BoDeans and Absinthe. Sam is known for his distinctive voice\, the voice by which many identify the Bodeans. \nLlanas was one of the founding members of the roots rock band the BoDeans\, which he formed with high school friend Kurt Neumann in Waukesha\, Wisconsin. In 1985\, after adding Guy Hoffman (drums) in 1984 and Bob Griffin (bass)\, the quartet signed a contract with Slash/Warner Records and shortened their name to the BoDeans. \nUnder the guidance of producer T-Bone Burnett\, they entered Hollywood’s Sunset Sound Factory in October to record their first album. The critically-acclaimed debut Love & Hope & Sex & Dreams was released in 1986. In the late 1980s and early 1990s\, the band had several singles in the top 40 “mainstream rock” charts. In the mid-1990s\, the band had two top 10 songs in the “Adult contemporary” charts. \nThe BoDeans took some time off in the late 1990s so Neumann and Llanas could record solo albums. Llanas founded Absinthe\, with the help of Milwaukee musicians Jim Eannelli (guitars and bass) and Guy Hoffman (formerly of Oil Tasters and Violent Femmes\, currently of Radio Romeo). They have released one album\, 1998′s A Good Day To Die. In 2011 Sam Llanas released 4 A.M. (The Way Home) and left the BoDeans to pursue his solo career. \nIn 2012 the music from 1998‘s A Good Day To Die was incorporated into a collaboration with playwright Doug Vincent and producer Gary Tanin in the production “A Day for Grace.”   Reviewer DeLarue of Lucid Culture : “As the show’s segments shift\, Sam Llanas\, frontman for the popular Wisconsin roots rockers the BoDeans does his part as Greek chorus with his acoustic guitar and warm baritone voice\, singing excerpts from songs including the BoDeans’ brooding classic ‘Far\, Far Away From My Heart’ as well as several numbers from his 1998 cult classic CD\, ‘A Good Day to Die\,’ by the short-lived side project Absinthe which clocked in at #629 on the 1000 Best Albums Of All Time List here at LucidCulture.  The pieces from that song cycle used in the show have had their lyrics tweaked to fit the new context\, and add considerable depth and gravitas to the overall ambience.”   \n \n2013 the play had evolved to include multi-city tours and multi-week runs in New York City. \nOn November 18th\, 2014 Llanas is set to release The Whole Night Thru an all new studio record produced by longtime collaborator Gary Tanin. It features 9 new Llanas originals. The Whole Night Thru is Llanas’ first studio outing after parting ways with the band he co-fronted for over a quarter century. Shedding new light on a multi-decade career Sam returns to his roots adding a refined rock sound complimented by a full band\, all veterans of both studio and live performance. Behind his lone-wolf image and tuffness\, Llanas continues to hone his skills. A master craftsman that feels most at home in the city he’s always called home\, Llanas has set the stage for fans to embrace his new identity. \nRemember to call to reserve seats.

SUMMARY:SARAH MCQUAID
DESCRIPTION:Rising star SARAH MCQUAID’s voice has been likened to malt whiskey\, melted chocolate and “honey poured into wine” (Minor 7th). A captivating performer\, she seduces her audience with cheeky banter and stories from the road\, as well as with stunning musicianship; in her hands\, the guitar becomes much more than merely an accompanying instrument. \nHer musical output reflects her own eclectic background: Sarah was born in Spain\, raised in Chicago\, holds dual US and Irish citizenship\, and now lives in rural England. Refusing to be pigeonholed\, she spans the genres with both her beautifully crafted originals and her interpretations of material from around the globe and down the centuries. \nSarah’s third solo album The Plum Tree and the Rose has drawn critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic: “Impeccable\,” wrote fRoots (UK)\, while Midwest Record (USA) called it “low key but glorious and incendiary” and Hot Press (Ireland) said it “should feature on many end-of-year best-ofs.” \n“Likely to make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck.” — Aled Jones\, BBC Radio 2 \n“A world class talent … burns with a brilliant allure.” — Living Tradition \nPlease call to reserve. \nwww.sarahmcquaid.com    www.facebook.com/sarahmcquaidmusic   www.twitter.com/sarahmcquaid

SUMMARY:PETER MULVEY/Brianna Lane
DESCRIPTION:PETER MULVEY will play hop off his bicycle long enough to command our stage for a few hours. Brianna* will have to hop off first to perform the opening set. \nPeter has a newish (no\, he is not newish) record- not bicycling record\, but the recording kind of record- Silver Ladder\, produced by the Prophet named Chuck. \n“The eclectic range of Mulvey’s tireless past pays handsome dividends on this stylistically sweeping\, LA-recorded album. A crack specially convened band (including regular Dylan drummer David Kemper) adhere to his well-established live and direct recording approach and allow the performer’s deeply matured\, naturally wry and hard-edged Americana to attain full\, flowing life. – Gavin Martin\, Uncut \nTireless past- that refers to the time before he had a bicycle. \nFor this gig\, his hair will also be stylistically swept.  DO NOT MISS IT. \n*Brianna Lane is a gifted singer/songwriter in true Americana form. She writes and performs on an acoustic guitar as well as a banjo\, crafting songs that are clear-eyed and pure—with an integrity derived from her gritty\, unflinching emotional honesty. \n  \n

SUMMARY:BILL CAMPLIN & TRICIA ALEXANDER w/ ALPHA STEWART
DESCRIPTION:Through some nature of mixup\, Tricia did not make it to the song swap we thought she was in on a few weeks ago.  But she is delighted to join Bill and percussionist Alpha Stewart on this evening.  Tricia brought Alpha into our lives a few years ago.  It will be a joyous evening of music\, despite some of Bill’s more depressing tunes. \nTRICIA ALEXANDER– Joy-filled\, uplifting and inspiring are some of the words used to describe Tricia Alexander’s music and performance – which ranges from soothing and deeply spiritual to social commentary and humor. \nSinger\, songwriter\, performance poet\, accomplished guitarist\, percussionist and harmonica player\, Tricia moves between jazz\, blues and folk\, spoken word and music\, original compositions and re-interpreted cover tunes – and she does it all with seamless grace. \nTricia has been known for many years as “one of Chicago’s finest folk performers – always a little on the jazzy side” (Chicago Sun Times). Her original blues\, jazz and folk music ranges from soothing and deeply spiritual to social commentary – and from lightly romantic to slightly bawdy. Humanities Iowa calls her\, “A modern-day Aesop” – and the Folk Music Source Book places her “intelligent contemporary writing” in the same league as: Holly Near\, Cheryl Wheeler\, Anne Hills and Christine Lavin. \nVibrant\, uplifting and healing with a voice\, lyrics and music that resonate the heart.

Music Reviews – Oregon \n“…a hard-chugging roots-rock record in the tradition of Neil Young and Tom Petty…” – Shepherd Express (Milwaukee) \n“…dense arrangements and ramshackle jalopies like “Disclaimer” make riding through a\ndemilitarized zone in an old junker sound surprisingly comforting.”  – The Onion – Madison\, WI \n“Ghost Towns makes it clear that Statz takes his art seriously. The album is a collection of\nrootsy folk-rock that travels through places\, time and emotions.”  – Rich Albertoni\, The Isthmus – Madison\, WI \n“…this release achieves a perfect balance between those upbeat folk-rock gems and the\nsubdued singer-songwriter tracks. It’s great to hear John’s music fleshed out with a full\nband.”- Travis Wood\, 5 Score Pachyderm – St. Louis\, MO \nTouring across continents\, JOSH HARTY ‘s unique blend of American music has become a must-hear for those who keep the tradition of country\, blues and folk close to their hearts.

His father\, both a preacher\, and the Police Chief of their small town\, was also Harty’s music mentor. \n“An honest voice and fingers that seem to catch fire!” -Atlanta Music Guide \n“There is a dignity to this music making that leaves us feeling enriched for the experience. . . “\n-No Depression \nIn the past decade Josh has put out three critically acclaimed albums\, while touring continuously across Europe and North America\, and shows no signs of slowing down. More than just moving along\, he’s spending plenty of time in the communities along the way\, from Brooklyn to Haarlem\, from London to Portland. Josh is always looking for that balance between the rolling road and the people who inspire him\, trading stories around kitchen tables and theatre stages. Harty’s live shows prove that good story telling combined with journeyman musicianship is as American as music gets. \nCamela Widad opens. \n  \n

SUMMARY:TONY FURTADO
DESCRIPTION:Tony Furtado is an indie record label’s dream artist. He has lived primarily on the road for the last two decades. He is gregarious\, engaging and entertaining\, on and off stage. He’s been called a genius on banjo and slide guitar and his own creative interpretation- hybrid of Americana and indie rock is captivating. Onstage\, whether playing with a band or solo\, he owns the room\, mixing stories of his travels with musicianship that is off the charts. \nAbout “Live From Mississippi Studios”: On Nov 25\, 2011\, Tony and his band -some of Portland’s finest young musicians\, played 2 exciting sets to a packed house at one of Portland’s guiding light venues for indie rock\, Americana\, and folk music\, Mississippi Studios. The show was recorded and mixed by Rob Stroup (8-Ball Studios) and filmed by a new collective of young filmmakers called Devious Goldfish. The whole project was funded by an interactive Kickstarter campaign where Tony offered up concerts\, CD’s and even some of his sculpture-work as incentives for pledges. Feeding off the thread of energy from the crowd\, the performance was riveting and sincere\, and the filmmakers captured that on-stage intimacy and raw emotion rarely accessible to the audience. The result is a stunning CD/DVD set\, a follow-up to Tony’s 2011 release\, “Golden” ( which remained on the Americana top 40 chart for months). \n“I think some of my best recordings have actually been captured by bootleggers recording my band live\, because in that moment\, I’m just not thinking about it. All my energy is focused on the love of playing music and rolling with the moment. It’s a give and take from the audience to the stage\, and back. And the music that is created is something that otherwise might not occur without that flow.” -Tony Furtado
