The theatrical folk-rock art collective Balthrop, Alabama combines the siblings Lauren

and Pascal Balthrop with former members of Rainer Maria and their Brooklyn neighbors.

Artist Michael Arthur accompanies the band on pen and ink, illustrating the songs live

with the drawings projected behind the band in the vaudeville tradition of a "chalk

talk," a precursor to animation. The music is clever and darkly funny and the art is

astonishing to watch. The band "combines breezy, melody-driven pop with Neutral Milk

Hotel-style existential wailing." --Village Voice.

I've included a TIFF file of the poster in case anybody wants to print some up and hand

them out or post them. This would be helpful. The Event will start at Noom (one minute

after noon) sharp, I hope, so we can squeeze everything in & so Buford T Pusser don't

need to walk tall on our asses, we'll end at 11pm. There is some space for camping with

a couple fire pits where food can be made. We've always encouraged a potluck, so let's

keep that tradition. We have some firepit grilling options as well. Some refeshment

will be provided, but please bring more. Sun screen, bug spray, a blanket to lie on are

all helpful to yourselves. The DAR is a 2 minute drive from us, so if you feel like

swimming that's an option. It does cost $5 to park there. Speaking of money, we are

taking a $5 donation to be able to give some gas to way out of town performers or at

the very least we'll be able to take them out to breakfast. We are in Goshen, but here

is the best mapquest or google maps address. 196 Bal Rd Williamsburg, MA 01096 if you

get lost call my cell 413-320-9107. You can park along the side of the road on Ball Rd,

but make sure you park on the same side as everybody else. Parking is limited in the

field and you might get stuck. We will hold the event rain or shine. We have some

shelters but sometimes last year people had to wait out a little storm in their cars.

There was a double rainbow last year, the 1st one I've ever seen. Hopefully, Mother

Nature will be kind to us so campers stay dry. Please forward this or post this on

websites to let anybody know who might want to come. The myspace page is

weekend.

The Bookmill: 440 Greenfield Rd. Montague, MA
http://www.montaguebookmill.com/
\An Evening with Dr. Eugene Chadbourne At The Montague Bookmill Thursday, April 16, 8 pm Since recording his first record in 1976, Eugene Chadbourne has oscillated determinedly between the worlds of free improvisation, modern composition and the broad tapestry of American popular music that wall-papers his musical imagination. Initially inspired by rock n roll guitarists, Chadbourne quickly outgrew the limitations of the form, and instead chose to refuse the sorts of idiomatic constraints that tend to place an artist into a cul de sac of easy categorization. Collectively, Chadbourne's discography is an orgy of compulsive improvisation, serial collaboration, pranksterish humor, radical critique, psychedelic overkill and loving homage to the same set of musical edifices that he's spent more than thirty years demolishing. These are characteristics equally applicable to his live performances undertaken on guitar, banjo and a number of electrified household and/or stringed implements. Even at his most demented Chadbourne has never been less than relevant, and more often than not these musical detonations provide perfect counterpoint to his relentless critique of a world gone mad.

Mudboy - Play Mudbeats Vol III side A excerpt
Holland Hopson

Area C is Erik Carlson, a composer, media artist and architect based in Providence, RI. His work examines sound as an evocative presence, often acting as a marker, in the physical and mental spaces we inhabit. Since 2002 he has been recording and performing under the name AREA C, whose compositions work with timbre, texture and live loops, exploring cyclical relationships and the details of their decay over time. Improvisation plays an important part in both recordings and live performances, encompassing extended explorations of minimal rhythm and melody, drawing on remnants of other times and places, outdated and untested technologies, signals sent out but never received

Mudboy is also from Providence RI, and has been described as a "doctor of experimental organomics", a patch-cable conjurer, and a shadowy avant provocateur. Musically he casts a hypnotic spell that should not be missed.

Holland Hopson is a founding member of ASAC. He is also a composer, improviser and electronic artist. As an instrumentalist, he performs on soprano saxaphone, clawhammer banjo, and electronics. He has performed at ASAC numerous times, and each time has wowed audiences with his musical mastery. He was last seen swimming in the "River of Drone", a 12-hour live drone performance at the Upstate Artists Guild in November 2008.

Ghent NY (JUST PAST CHATHAM ON 66)

The folks at Grazin' Angus Acres and Trowbridge Farms are bringing their grills and cooking burgers, dogs, and sausages - all from their pasture-fed, organic, and locally raised beef!
The band The Digits (Athens, NY) will be playing, too, so you can take your lunch (and glass of wine) and enjoy some great rock 'n roll.

In the tasting room, you can get wine by the glass and the bottle to enjoy outside. We'll also be doing tastings for those who can't decide. Food, sides, and non-alcoholic beverages will be sold by Grazin' Angus and the 4H. There is no charge for the band. It's a day to hang out, listen to some good music, and enjoy some of the best barbeque in Columbia County while sipping some fabulous wines!

The BBQ starts around noon and the band starts playing at 1. Event goes til about 5. Grazin' Angus is charging for what they grill, and 4H is collecting for non-alcoholic drinks and sides. There is no charge for the band.

Cafe Latino on Mass MoCA complex

Thursday, June 19 – Missi St. Pierre CD Release Party along with Neptune. North Adams native, Missi St. Pierre celebrates the release of her first album (on Table of the Elements), Specimens, with a concert and party at Café Latino. She will be joined by Neptune from Boston, a band that crafts its own instruments from items that others might consider trash.

www.myspace.com/melissastpierre and www.neptuneband.com

Play Figure VII from Specimens

MELISSA ST. PIERRE tosses classicism and post-classicism overboard, utilizing the prepared piano -- John Cage's notorious instrument of choice -- and electronic enhancement to sail resolutely in the direction of rock & roll. Peppering the strings, hammers, and dampers of the piano with a variety of objects, she transforms the instrument's typical timbre: sparkling gamelans chatter; harrowing voodoo drums call out in the night. Rivals famed electric harpist Zeena Parkins as conservatory arsonists with a decidedly Hendrixian flair.

Celebrating "Israel" at 60!

Coordinated by the Jewish Federation of the Berkshires, free, and open to the public, the first weekend in May will commemorate and celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the 1948 founding of the state of Israel.

From 4 to 6 p.m. on Sunday, May 4, a "Community Celebration, with Klezamir" will take place at Congregation Knesset Israel, 16 Colt Road, Pittsfield. Klezamir's famed "roots rockin" klezmer music will spark the afternoon, which will also include a performance by Meretz, Berkshire County's teen Israeli dance troupe, and displays by local organizations, the sale of Israeli foods and products, and craft projects and other "child-friendly" activities.

Lion’s Den, the Buhrmaster Barn Dance, the annual Dance Flurry, the Eighth Step Dance in

Albany and countless living rooms and porches. For the past few years, they have kept

Anonymous 4
featuring music from the new Gloryland CD released in September of 2006. Gloryland is the diary of Anonymous 4's second pilgrimage to the roots of Anglo-American vocal music. The journey has led them to more of the most beautiful religious ballads, folk songs, folk hymns, and gospel songs ever to be found. Each sung poem contains a world of meaning in itself: together they tell a story of love and loss, hope and redemption. Their versions of the religious ballads and folk songs on this program follow the performances of traditional singers from the Ozark and the Appalachian mountains. They sing shape note tunes in the spare three-part harmonies in which they first appear in the nineteenth-century tune books. Similarly, the program includes two gospel songs as they were originally set by their composers. The other hymns and gospel songs on Gloryland

were arranged by members of Anonymous 4.

Lark Tavern, Sunday

The Rev Records, a new local re- cord label founded by local

mover and shaker Harith Abdullah, is initiating a monthly

performance series to be held at the Lark Tavern on the last

Tuesday of every month. This Sunday there will be a concert

and bake sale (yes, you read that correctly) to kick off the

series. The featured performers (all Rev artists) are Laura

Boggs (whose recent CD, Whiskey & Springtime, was released

in November), Tom McWatters, Matt McWatters, Jared Funari,

Bessam Sam, the Xylophones, and Sgt. Dunbar and the Hobo

Banned. The party will continue post-live-music with the

help of DJ Lady Luck. So join the cast of the Rev Records’

family and buy my treats (unfortunately, we cannot guarantee

that there will be “special” brownies available). All

proceeds go to support the label. Also: We heard rumors of a

rock-paper-scissors tournament taking place, but don’t quote

us on that. (March 25, 8 PM, free, 453 Madison Ave., Albany,

463-9779)

GZ is putting on a band show to raise money for the "Troy

money to get their own theater. And, it's being headed by

Ground Zero co-founder Will Gill.

Anti-Jazz Quartet Ensemble -- Disgusted by the pretentious

nature of modern jazz and avant-garde music, the Anti-Jazz

Quartet Ensemble seeks to undermine the conventions of the

experimental music world. In the same vein as the punks of

the 1970s, the quartet takes this "high-art" form and places

it in the hands of average rock musicians and listeners.

While the music may be experimental, it is not alienating.

Cooper-Moore, who will play February 9, is a composer, pianist, designer and builder of musical

instruments and music educator. A native of the Piedmont area of Virginia, Cooper-Moore (who uses

only one hyphenated name) moved to New York in 1973, leased a five-floor Canal Street building and

transformed it into a work space for performing and visual artists. He has performed in the bands

of Joseph Daley, Perry Robinson, Susie Ibarra, Warren Smith and Butch Morris, and with the dance

companies of Jill Becker, Koo Dance, and Movin’ Spirits Dance Theater. Triptych Myth, his trio

with Tom Abbs and Chad Taylor, has just released “The Beautiful” (AUM Fidelity). Andy Battaglia of

Salon.com called him, “one of New York's most effusive but reclusive musical geniuses.

Cooper-Moore is a one- man New Orleans jazz funeral flailing like the Grambling State marching

band across a vaudeville stage.” He also has considerable experience as a music therapist and

educator and is a national consultant for Headstart.

Cooper-Moore is a marginal figure in the jazz world, a multi-instrumentalist, composer and

instrument builder who is best known for his work in the stylistic free-for-all that is the

downtown New York scene, playing in groups like the Susie Ibarra Trio, and Triptych Myth. This

solo piano recital is a perfect introduction to his odd, modal-jazz based musical world, in which

he sometimes seems to be attempting to find a common ground between folk and free jazz. His

percussive piano style encompasses Jaki Byard's polyglot whimsy, McCoy Tyner's power and Cecil

Taylor's hard-hitting tone clusters.

So Percussion, Dirty Projectors

Academy Hall Auditorium, Friday

Pretentious arthaus clowns, unite! Rensselaer’s Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC, whose physical

building is still one of the coolest nonentities we’ve seen) are presenting this show, which features two bright lights of

contemporary music. So Percussion, fresh off a tour with oddball avant-noise team Matmos, are a Brooklyn-based percussion

ensemble (naturally) who commission and perform new works from young composers; on tomorrow’s show, they’ll perform

compositions by David Lang and experimental-music godhead Steve Reich. Dirty Projectors is the nom de weird for Dave

Longstreth, whose performances feature a rotating cast of backing musicians coupled with live-video projection. If you

make a habit of listening outside the box, this is right up your alley. (Jan. 19, 8 PM, free, Rensselaer Polytechnic

"James Hunter is one of the best voices, and best kept secrets, in British R'n'B and Soul. Check him

James Hunter's voice has the kind of depth and nuance that invites comparisons to Sam Cooke; his

songwriting craft and impassioned performances recall Them-era Van Morrison - and like those artists,

Hunter's music is timeless, sounding instantly classic and perpetually modern. He recorded 'People Gonna

CD Release Party!!! ”As the Orchestra Swells (the lights go out)”
Easthampton native, Steve Biegner, has been making music since he was 12 years old. Steve played with the popular local group Smokejumpers for two years at such venues as Harry's, The Space, Fire and Water, and the Iron Horse. While playing shows with Smokejumpers, Steve recorded a new solo album called "Manic Blue." His original songs are reminiscent of such artists as Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, Radiohead, and Duncan Sheik, but have a sound all of their own. As a solo performer, Steve has played at PACE, the Thirsty Mind, and the Iron Horse with the Nields. Steve has just finished recording his second solo CD with producer David Chalfant (The Nields), ”As the Orchestra Swells (the lights go out)”, which will be sold at this show! Tonight's show also includes a Smokejumpers reunion!

Pawnshop romance (2:09)
this was the second song I did, and maybe my favorite - just messy enough to
make it exciting, but I didn't over do it trying to write a bridge - simple
idea, love can be messy . . . but please come back!

The New Deal was born in the fall of 2005 when I began the daunting adventure of

digging myself out of a creative rut by simultaneously writing and recording 50 songs

in 50 days - one song a day (I drove everyone in my life crazy). From my bedroom

apartment on Avenue C - overlooking the FDR drive, the east river and the lighted

city skyline - I completed a new song each night between October 14th and Dec. 6th

(with a few days off). Often recording until dawn, I played all the instruments -

drums, bass, guitars, piano, and organ. Any harmonies and other vocals you hear are

also just mine. Of the resulting 50 self-produced songs, 32 will be available in the

spring of 2006 as a three-disc set entitled The New Deal. If you play it loud you'll

hear the ambulances, buses and traffic roaring by on the FDR drive. - FDR, Dec 17th
