Date: Mon, 5 Jan 1998 14:19:44 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Happy New Year, everyone! Missed ya more than you know, NYE, but looking forward to seeing ya'll in Petaluma and maybe Santa Cruz. Here's a thing I wrote this morning about some great acoustic music coming to my area soon. Enjoy &/or delete..... :) Tim tlynch@socrates.berkeley.edu ---------- Forwarded message ---------- THE HOME OF ACOUSTIC MUSIC IN BERKELEY: THE FREIGHT & SALVAGE COFFEEHOUSE Jan. 5, 1998 - da Flower Punk As the cold weather settles in for the long haul, the warmth of the scene at the Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley is worth remembering. The Freight, as it is affectionately known, has been like a great family member; seeming to always be quietly doing the right thing in its little corner of the world. You're always welcome there, and every time you leave you wish you could get there more often. In the next month The Berkeley Society for the Preservation of Traditional Music, the venerable organization which has run the club for some 30 years, will be bringing some very interesting -- and some potentially important -- shows into its comfortable Addison Street digs, and beyond. Highest on the "importance" scale perhaps is the February 11-13 run of RALPH STANLEY AND THE CLINCH MOUNTAIN BOYS. Bill Monroe is often portrayed as *the* father of bluegrass music, but let's face it, genres don't get invented or spread by any one individual alone. They are always *movements* of one sort of another, and many individuals contribute to various degrees. Few, though, have contributed as much as Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys. On San Francisco music, for just one example, The Stanley Brother's bluegrass has made very deep and permanent impressions. Chances to get down with a living master (in a great sounding room that holds maybe 250) do not appear every day. Also significant is the fact that Colorado's HOT RIZE has come together for a reunion tour and the Freight has joined forces with its compatriots in Santa Cruz and the Peninsula to bring them to Palo Alto's Spangberg Theater on Thursday, January 22. Featuring Tim O'Brien (mandolin / vocals), Pete Wernick (banjo), Charles Sawtelle (guitar), and Nick Forster (bass / guitar), HOT RIZE helped reinvigorate bluegrass by making it newgrass. Another "must-see" gig for bluegrass/newgrass lovers. IRIS DEMENT is an example of an artist who is rooted in many traditions, and can take elements from many time periods, yet blends them into something distinct, relevant and fun. She will play the First Congregational Church in Berkeley in a Freight produced gig on Monday, January 19. It seems ALVIN YOUNGBLOOD HART is as well-versed in African American acoustic blues styles and culture as any scholar, but there is nothing dispassionate about his lessons. Hart performs originals and covers with all the spirit and power of the very well-springs of the blues themselves. You can see Alvin Youngblood Hart at the Freight on Thursday, January 29. So there's four shows that seemingly demand attendance right there. Now check these other gems coming up soon and you'll get a real sense of just how much the Freight is offering to put on the Bay's musical plate. DAVID GANS & ERIC RAWLINS, Thu. Jan. 8 - Gans and Rawlins play everything from sweet acoustic folk to rollicking western swing things. They will be accompanied by Jennifer Jolly, and Eric & Suzy Thompson. PAT MCDONALD, Sun., Jan. 11 - He's half of Timbuk3. McDonald performs solo in a gig that promises "techno-roots" attitude and "musical and lyrical dreamtime." JOHN MCCUTCHEON, Wed., Jan. 14 - The critic Robert Palmer once asked "how much history can be transmitted by pressure on a guitar string?" In McCutcheon's case, the answer is a tremendous amount, and not just because he can also bring hammered dulcimer, banjo, autoharp and more to bear on the subject. A wicked wit, an open heart, and progressive politics in a thoroughly entertaining package. REBECCA RIOTS, Fri. Jan 23 - I'd go as far to say that Rebecca Riots is one of the most likely acoustic acts to crossover to some degree of rock stardom in the near future, especially given the growing visibility of women in music since the Lilith Fair. Rebecca Riots is three dynamic women offering great harmonies, a powerful and engaging presence, + radical sentiments layered on top of strong guitar work. The trio will add bass and percussion this evening, a lineup that just might take this group all the way from the house-party and the coffeehouse to the radio and the music festival. Even if only for "Don't Teach Me To Hate My Body," America *needs* Rebecca Riots. There are even more interesting shows coming to the Freight & Salvage soon, such as those by LORIN ROWAN, ROBIN & LINDA WILLIAMS, TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA, EDDIE FROM OHIO, LOWELL FULSON & MARK NAFTALIN, CHRISTINE LAVIN, SI KAHN and others. For the complete lowdown on dates, times, prices and whatevers, check out the coffehouse's www site at or call 'em up at (510) 548-1761. __________________________flowerpunkprods__________________________ ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD1AEF.8E1700A0 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: paul little To: "leftover@lists.colorado.edu" Subject: Tour Dates?

I heard them for the first time over the summer at HORDE but wasn't too impressed with thier set(It's hard to win someone over in 40min in the middle of an action packed day). I was determined to give these guys a fair shot so I picked up Eurphoria. After the first couple of intro listens, I found that I could not stop listening to it. It is a very addicting album. I picked up Ask the Fish today ( which is also very good and addicting) and was wondering if some one could spin me up some LoS shows. Either B+P or trades. I got about 225 hours of Phish, Dead Bela Fleck and other stuff. email me if you could help me out. I am looking forward to being on this list and to hearing many great LoS shows (both live and on tape) thanks Joe ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD1AEF.8E1700A0 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: "vann@his.com" To: "leftover@lists.colorado.edu" Subject: LoS in Dupree's Diamond News Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 08:10:38 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Ran across a copy of the current Dupree's Diamond News (DDN) this holiday season and thought you might like to hear what it had to say about "our" boyz. In the "DDN Notes" section: Leftover Salmon Gets Fresh Fish Jeff Sipe, also known as Apt. Q-258, replaced Michael Wooten on drums in June. Sipe comes to Leftover Salmon from the amazing, but now defunct, East Coast groove rock trio Hellborg, Lane, and Sipe. The new combination is already beginning to gel, with Sipe providing a much-needed foundation for Leftover Salmon to perform the voo-doo that they do. In "Reflections on the High Sierra Music Festival & Oregon Country Fair" publisher/editor Johnny Dwork comments on Michael Sammet's suggestion that the Zen Tricksters performance might have been the best musical moment of the (HS) fest -- certainly the heaviest: J: The heaviest, yes, but the best had to be when wonderful Eugene folk singer Jim Page joined the main-stage outdoor closer Leftover Salmon on Sunday night. Leftover was already way into a perfect cajun/calypso/bluegrass wet dream set, which had the entire audience in a delirious state of bliss and THEN Jim comes out to improvise with them. He strums a few chords to get them started and then they build the melody up. Jim starts to improvise lyrics about how wonderful a blessing it is to be at the High Sierra music fest; he's singing about every great thing that happens at the festival: the music, the friends, the beautiful setting, the perfect vibe, and everyone in the crowd gets tears in our eyes, just realizing how truly lucky we are to be at such a wonderful gathering. And all of Leftover is grinning ear-to-ear. It was as sweet and sincere a musical moment as I've witnessed in the last decade. later in the article Michael says: M: ...As usual, however, for Saturday night at High Sierra, the peak was Leftover Salmon's late night jamfest in the tent. Ten other musicians joined in at times mixing Salmon originals with Jackson Brown, Allman Bros., and Stones covers. It wasn't as legendary as Salmon's Saturday night jam last year with Sam Bush, but another tremendous showing solidifying their growing popularity and evolution with the new album, Euphoria. In addition, their Oregon Country Fair stealth gig the following week, when they ditched the Horde to warm up the Midnight circus crowd with a quick set, won me over completely. then after more on what happened on Sunday, Michael and Johnny go on to say: M: And all this led up to that great Leftover Salmon set with Jim Page. J: I've seen 1500-plus concerts in my life and that moment was as wonderful a band/audience connection as I've ever witnessed... In "H.O.R.D.E. 1997: Electric Electic" Carole Wade, Bob Gersztyn, and Michelle Waughtel wrote: Also appearing for the entire tour were Leftover Salmon, with its pulse-elevating, spaz-grass. These guys often seemed a little on the schizoid side, moving from mellow cajun swing to rollicking and unstoppable, atomic mountain-top wailing. In their alloted twenty-five minutes, the unreal mandolin strumming and yodeling of Drew Emmitt and the maddeningly precise electric banjo from Mark Vann appeared to lift the stage from the ground and send it spinning off into the atmosphere. Added to that was the intensity of a rightly placed new drummer, Apt. Q-258 (formerly of Hellborg, Lane, and Sipe; and Aquarium Rescue Unit), and you were left with a lot more that just stale fish. Finally, in "Get To Know Your Dead Relatives," DDN had the following to say about Euphoria: Leftover Salmon is to cajun/calypso/bluegrass music what the Grateful Dead were to rock. This white-hot quintet stretches the envelope of the multiple musical genres they cover *waay* open with long jams, high tempo, stick-in-yer-head melodies, and sweet bluegrass singing. They are certainly one of the hottest bands touring today. The recent addition of master groove rock drummer Jeff "Apt. Q-258" Sipe will surely inspire this group to even higher heights. Salmon's latest, Euphoria (HM62095-2) is their best studio effort to date. - Bryant PS. I finally managed to get Heather's photos of the band from earlier in the year installed on the fansight. They're pretty slick! Thanks Heather! Check 'em out at: http://www.his.com/~vann/LoSstuff/losfans.htm/lospics3.htm Send her your accolades! PPS. Like you folks, I don't have a schedule for the upcoming tour, but there are rumors of shows in San Diego, St. Louis, Tampa, and the Orlando area (another House of Blues?) I'd bet there'll be some through the SW as well. ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD1AEF.8E1700A0 Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit From: Sunshine Daydreams To: "leftover@lists.colorado.edu" Subject: N W TOUR Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 08:31:58 -0500 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hey now !!!!

Especially since after the next one, "Other Voices, Other Rooms Too," there won't be any more, at least for a while. Griffith said -- in a video documenting the making of that collection of cover songs (with producer Daniel Lanois) -- that she has essentially already said what she has to say, and that she is retiring from active touring *and* recording CDs, both of which she's been doing for a long time now. Griffith is not done with making music, she hopes to focus on soundtrack work for film and television. That comment overshadows my attempts at undivided attention from this release. On one level it adds to the poignancy of the experience of hearing Griffith play and sing on this collection. There's things Griffith must have wanted to do, like play with the Crickets, and with Sonny Curtis (the author of "I Fought The Law," which receives a fine reading here!), and a few songs that needed releasing. "It's Not My Home," almost sounds like a summation, a sympathetic tale of why Nanci Griffith is, er, breaking up with us. In that light, some songs on "Blue Roses From The Moons" can make you cry. "Is This All There Is," is but one example. But it also makes it hard to appreciate all the declarations of independence and strength to carry on in something new when you feel like an old friend is whistling while they pack up to leave you forever, like on "She Ain't Going Nowhere." Even if the oeuvre's complete for now and utimately, everybody knows it. On another level yet, it invites thinking about the dark sides of the music business. Is this more a contractually obligated collection than an honest, urgent heartfelt expression? Is "Maybe Tomorrow" really just an attempt to capitalize on people's love for the music of Patsy Cline? That's something that can make it hard to appreciate music for the listener and the artist alike. Furthermore, shouldn't it be illegal to encourage and enable Darius Rucker to sing with string arrangements in the background? That happens on "Gulf Coast Highway." Ah, forget it. The bottomline is that "Blue Roses From The Moons" is another really fine recording from Nanci Griffith. I'd have cut four or five of the fourteen tracks if I had any say in it, but, er, so what? I'll just program around 'em. 'Cause *all* the rest of the tracks are really, really *good*, especially for nursing aging hearts. And I got me one of them. __________________________flowerpunkprods__________________________ ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD1AEF.8E1700A0--
