Anaïs Mitchell and her voice

grnarrow — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 13:38:05 +0000

CauGht the set that Anaïs Mitchell put on here at Der Rathskellar and I must say that she has one of those voices that so many people TRY to have, but she’s GOT it. The clarity of the story through the raspy storyteller’s vocal, made the start as equally interesting as the ending….speaking of the way it started….so, on tour with Anaïs and her band is a group called Cuddle Magic, and their lead singer, Kristin Slipp joined Anaïs and her bandmate, Rachel Ries doing a sweet acapella version of “Golden Bird”, a track Mr. Levon Helm (R.I.P.) made famous. Playing song off her latest release “Young Man in America” and mixing in others from along the way, Anaïs even took a request from those in attendance. I see why people have been talking about her. The flexibility and versatility of musicianship extended from her band in extension with those from Cuddle Magic that added horns and strings and the image I was left with was a sense of musical harmony, or should I say harmonies.

The only other thing I can mention on a personal note is that I hope to catch her again in a setting less noisy with “overmusictalkers” and clanking beers…with that said…”Cheers”

the Ragbirds in Madison

grnarrow — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 00:44:46 +0000

Sometimes you find yourself thinking a show will be good, and then you get a surprise when a big steps it up in ways you didn’t quite expect even though you were prepared with a bunch of listens to new a new album, an interview with the lead artist in the band (thank you Erin Zindle) and plenty of rah rah from friends in the scene. The Ragbirds brought sounds that took folk music(s) from around the globe and have them come together in a very easy to look at set right here at the High Noon Saloon. They use many traditional folk instruments including violin, mandolin, banjo, accordion, acoustic & electric guitars, and harmonica. But the music goes beyond folk with its strong rhythm foundation of bass, drumset, congas and several layers of percussion. The effect is positive, creative music with the force of dance-able rhythm and melodies that won’t leave you when the show is over….the carry over is the type that you talk about for weeks….This is a band that I see people really getting their groove on to while in a small backdoor bar, or especially an outdoor festival filled with musics from lands we only read about (wherever we are) or hey, I could even see them in your backyard making the burger flippin’ a whole lot nicer…..just sayin’. Opening the show was Madison’s own The Whiskey Farm.

Dan Hicks & the Hot Licks

grnarrow — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 06:17:05 +0000

Let’s call in a night in Stow-ton, errr Stu-ton, OK, let’s just call it Madison. Tonight at the Stoughton Opera House, Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks brought the good fun out to play. From the moment they all take the stage, until the moment the lights finally come up and it’s time to say goodnight, Dan and the band bring entertainment to their audience, through the songs we have all grown close to (and man, they brought out some goodies they haven’t played live in a while, you’ll have to go check them live to know which ones). For me, it’s like seeing that Uncle that always gives you the things your parents said you cannot have….The show has is whirls and twirls in sync, the spontaneous nature of the banter to the crowd is like that uncle turning to the kids table to get a quick laugh, and man….if that band isn’t sharp. While each audience member could tell you which song of the evening was their favorite….I am always going to be partial to Uncle Dan’s version and rendition of the Horace Silver classic “Song for my Father”, especially since I know how much Dan loves that tune. Call the show witty, sarcastic, clever or whathaveyou…..but the sold out crowd at the Stoughton Opera House called it a night to remember with Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks and I for one am ready for that live album.

A big Mill Valley Family thank you to Clare for always making the magic happen.

Alvin Ailey

grnarrow — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 21:38:13 +0000

As part of the day working with young minds, it is nice to be able to share all kinds of experience with them. Especially something like this. Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater grew from a now-fabled performance in March 1958 at the 92nd Street Y in New York City. Led by Alvin Ailey and a group of young African-American modern dancers, that performance changed forever the perception of American dance. The Ailey company has gone on to perform for an estimated 23 million people at theaters in 48 states and 71 countries on six continents. Today, the Company continues Mr. Ailey’s mission by presenting important works of the past and commissioning new ones. In all, more than 200 works by over 80 choreographers are part of the Ailey company’s repertory. Before his untimely death in 1989, Alvin Ailey designated Judith Jamison as his successor, and over the next 21 years, she brought the Company to unprecedented success. In July 2011, Ms. Jamison passed the mantle to Robert Battle. In announcing his appointment as Artistic Director, Ms. Jamison stated, “Combining an intimate knowledge of the Ailey company with an independent perspective, Robert Battle is without question the creative force of the future.” I saw people turn their body into water, reenact the history of a people and take a new level of movement as the clock moves.

Elton John in Madison

grnarrow — Fri, 23 Mar 2012 05:00:58 +0000

I was fortunate enough to catch Sir Elton John this evening at the Alliant Energy Center (thanks Steely). It is always thrilling to scratch a star off the list of “must see”. I was caught off guard when Sir Elton announced that Croatians Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, known together as 2 Cellos would open up the night’s music and then sit in on a number of tunes throughout the evening. I am a big fan of the interpretations to rock classics that these two put forth on their cellos, and just how must rock is in them. This tour has been billed as featuring number one chart hits and classic album tracks from throughout Elton’s incredible five-decade career….and did he ever. The band includes Davey Johnstone on guitar, Bob Birch on bass, John Mahon on percussion, ( from Elton’s original band) Mr. Nigel Olsson on drums, and Kim Bullard on keyboards…but also featured an original Family Stone member Rose Stone…and this band was spot on all night. The songs which we have all hEARd many times still managed to sound alive and fresh in a live setting, due to just that, Sir Elton live in a show is as professional as it gets. The energy in the venue semmed to recharge him with each key he pressed. He was a workhorse who only took short breaks to skip around the stage and introduce the tunes. Almost three hours of hits and man, he could have just kept going and going. His wave to the audience was meant for everyone, just like these songs.

Caravan of Thieves Swing In

grnarrow — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 23:48:50 +0000

While swing is only a part of their thing, I was able to catch Caravan of Thieves at the High Noon Saloon, doing an early set opening for The David Wax Museum. This gypsy swing pop rock-a-cana band put on a short gem of a set filled with good times and the want of more. I am happy to have guitarists and vocalists Fuzz and Carrie on the proGram this week to discuss the Madison show, the new album “The Fun House” and the journey of Caravan of Thieves. The crowd of people, few familiar with this band were definitely left with that feeling of more more more, especially after their energetically rearranged version of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”. I am a sucker for the stand up bass, and Mr. Brian Anderson thumped and stamped the reasons for that all evening, while violinist, Mr. Ben Dean roused the crowd with his swing string thing. To close this and many of their shows, Caravan of Thieves played “Raise the Dead”, which takes your spirit out for a remembering walk and unites the people in attendance in a shared moment.

The David Wax Museum won me over instantly with the voice of David Wax. The words that rolled off his tongue were like familiar waters I used to play in years gone by ago….the harmonies of the band are as contagious as an autumn cold which easily captured my ears, and they didn’t try to escape. I look forward to the returns of both acts with more stage time in the future the next go around.

Eliot Lipp Takes Beats Beyond

grnarrow — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 00:40:31 +0000

The Orpheum Theatre had a niGht of beats that spilled out into a crowd of wanting ears and bodies readied at the starting line to get on their individual moves and motions. Poised with colors glowing and smiles wrapped around the interior of the building, this audience quickly embraced the working beats of friend to the program Eliot Lipp. Just as we spoke of in our conversation during the last show, you could hear the inspiration from visits to great buildings housing great art….you could hear the difference, which quickly translates into “feelin’ it”. The symbiotic relationship between the drawn line and the sound line wasn’t lost on me as I soaked it in deep, with my own doing as it does. Eliot crafts his shows around the beats, not merely in the beats alone….it is within those spaces between the grooves where my ears meet Eliot Lipp’s miXes. I wonder what they miGht do for you?

A Love Electric did it

grnarrow — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 00:15:31 +0000

The High Noon Saloon is always a great spot for a CD release. In support of their latest release, 20th Century Folk Selections on Royal Potato Family, good friend of the proGram, Todd Clouser brougt his mind-bending group A Love Electric to town with ear-original excitement combined with interesting versions of familiar tunes done as only this neo-jazz-rock quintet can do. I have seen this act many times now, a beast on trumpet, combined with Todd’s ability to translate sound into feeling…..and I have to say that in this rare occasion, they managed to do something I consider a rare feat, they keep on getting better each time I go out and see ‘em. The style, sound and personality of this group allows me to proudly support Todd every time he keeps coming to Madison (and I hope that keeps happnin’), and I can easily categorize “A Love Electric” as one of my favorite acts around. You can be sure that the next time they’re here, I’ll be there….I hope you adopt this same practice and I’ll look for the thank you cards in my email.

Litte Barrie & Charles Bradley

grnarrow — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:47:53 +0000

If you’ve been a listener to the proGram since its inception back on the Connecticut airwavesway back in the EARly 2000′s, you’d know how deep I go with the Little Barrie diGGin’. I have been spinning them since 2005, and haven’t looked back since. With a new album (King of the Waves), it has been four years since the last one, the trio from Liverpool made their way to America in support of Charles Bradley & His Extraordinaires, after many dates overseas opening for them. Little Barrie rocked the High Noon Saloon and opened the eyes of many in attendance who were definitely there to catch Mr. Bradley. For many of them, this was their very first taste of the incredibly catchy rock and roll of Little Barrie. They blew the roof off the place with many tracks off the new release, but for my ears, “Tip it Over” was the selection that was most remarkable—with all other tracks right there with it. In chatting with drummer Virgil Howe (son of Yes guitarist Steve Howe), I learned that the band would love to come back to the states and show off what they do best….ROCK!! I have a feeling that they’d welcome an invitation to a town near you.

Although nursing an obvious cold, Mr. Bradley’s pure emotion and meaning were felt over the crowd with each bead of sweat that fell to the stage. The band, as always was tight on and translated the soul of the night magically for a grateful Madison crowd. The love between artist and the appreciators is smile evoking and if you haven’t caught this show yet, you’re missing out on someone who IS all he appears.

Bonerama Bonanza

grnarrow — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:14:08 +0000

It was nice to hear from friend of the program, Charlie Wooton while doing a fill in the a few weeks back. He rang the show to let me know he’d be in town with Bonerama doing a masters class at the University and then a free show at Mills Hall. In talking with a few of the students backstage, they were all so pumped to have hooked up with Bonerama and the experience is certainly one of those I am sure is on many people’s list of things they wish they could do. It was great catching up with Charlie as he has so many things going on including a new upcoming album and tour with the Royal Southern Brotherhood. The band taught thirteen or so “bone” players a couple of tracks and discussed the things that turn them on by music. The students ended up on stage during the free show playing with the band in a concert. How cool! The set was strong and filled with solos from our Bonerama gang as well as the students, Charlie kicked in a fantastic solo during one of the hottest renditions of “Whippin’ Post” I have hEARd in a long time. With a regular mix of their own originals and some horn heavy covers, the night was one to remember and quite unique with the addition of all those jammin’ trombones on stage…..

Making Faces with Marco

grnarrow — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:17:34 +0000

I was fortunate enough to interview Marco Benevento the other day to promote his show at the Cafe Redamte on Friday night. I enjoyed being able to chat more with Marco about the scene he’s been seen in, the recent tunes he was working on, (which he shared with the audience during the intermission) and of course how hot the new tune “Fireworks” sounded during the first set. After some time on the top of the stairs, the piano and keys were jamming into and out of Marco’s own tunes and a nice collage of covers that had the eerie places inside my mind dancing with their own goblins….. I really get what Marco is laying down. He has a way when by himself or in Garage a Trois or with Joe or whomever that calls to my senses directly through my ear-holes. His solo piano show is an excellent reminder why we diGG what Marco does. His ability to interpret songs we already hold nEAR is almost like he has been sitting in on family conversations from the long ago past, and remembered important details as to what we like. His own songs sometimes feel like they were written in my own songbook, in my own writing and perhaps even on paper I, myself have made. I am glad to be able to call Marco a friend of greenarrowradio finally, and look forward to the next opportunity to hEAR him live, or spin that fresh new tune he has gathered riGht from inside of me….. (a big thank you to Kevin for making these things happen.)

grnarrow — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 13:37:51 +0000

I want to thank Marco Benevento, who will be in town on February 10th, for being a live guest on the show today.

MSO Youth Concert

grnarrow — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:47:31 +0000

I was fortunate again this year to go with my class to the Madison Symphony Orchestra’s Fall Youth Concert and again it was a pleasure to see an entire hall filled with young people enjoying the sights and sounds. The 2011 Fall Youth Concerts highlight the intersection between great classical music and the visual arts. Vivaldi’s Autumn Violin Concerto, Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Copland’s El Salon Mexico will be accompanied by works by Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and other masters. The pieces were selected and played with great care while the visual art certainly made for a great collaborative spirit, as some of the students art was featured on the big screen as well as the above listed masters. The audience was attentive and the musicians were magnificent. Before we went to the show I played music that we would hear for the students and we water~colored to the sounds to inspire…..the spirit of togetherness was alive and the idea that art(s) can work together truly was achieved. A big thank you to the MSO for again providing us with a wonderful learning experience.

Girl in a Coma in Madison

grnarrow — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 20:51:01 +0000

I have been a big fan of GIAC since I started doing radio and the combination of their sound and their placement on the Blackheart Records roster made me swoon with excitement many years ago. Since then I have interviewed Drummer Phanie Diaz and aired numerous worthy tracks on several new albums to promote shows here in Madison. This time at the High Noon Saloon was so rawwkkkin’ as this trio put forth a solid end of the tour effort, which combined their hooks and catches with that style they have all to themselves….better than the albums is the sound of a live show and Girl in a Coma sees to that, I guarantee. Lead guitarist and vocalist, Nina Diaz has apparently been referred to as “the female version of Morrissey” but in my opinion she is biGGer than that but doesn’t even know it. She is a star and the cool flows right off of her onto the stage. Jenn Alva and Phanie Diaz add to the cool that flows off the band, but theirs has rhythm and beat attached to it as they songs not only rock but resonate within. After meeting and hanging out with Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna, I would have loved to have been there when they first saw these girls back in In 2006 when the Girls played f at New York’s Knitting Factory as part of a cable TV show featuring unknown bands. Jett and Laguna were so impressed with the band that they signed GIAC to their label, Blackheart Records, on the spot. And I am ever thankful they come to Madison regularly, so lets support them on their journey through better next time, Madison rockers.

Before GIAC hit the stage, Atlanta was represented properly by The Coathangers. This band rocks in so many undefined ways that it is hard to describe. If I was there for GIAC, I would have been so satified with the way this band rocked me in such a badass way. From avant punk jams to catchy weirdness of non conformity, I would go see them anytime again. Please do yourself a favor and try to define them on your own as words do do it after just one introduction.

Opening the night was Black Box Revelation a duo from Belgium whos fuzzy guitar work and booming drums were a perfect way to get ready for the night to come. They had a soulful touch that kept the rockNroll fresh and new with each lick and crash.

Tech One Two

grnarrow — Sat, 22 Oct 2011 20:40:40 +0000

Now that I have decided to use my laptop in cooperation with CDs, there is the occasion when one will fail…Luckily, this dilemma only lasted a short while as SuperTECH Matt Rock came to my rescue. But with the laptop being down for a bit and not knowing if the issue would resolve, I had a chance to spin some of the longer tracks I have collecting in the music bag. It was a treat to be able to find the riGht space finally to air them out into the earspace for consumption…..Here is the first of three sets from today’s show:

STS9 in Rochester

grnarrow — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 16:06:40 +0000

So I took a trip to Rochester NY and was able to catch a STS9 show while there thanks to the fine folks working with the band. (you know who you are). The event at Water Street Music Hall was sold out and man, was it worth being shoulder to shoulder with people for. Sound Tribe Sector 9 has that great live appeal to me that many bands can only hope to achieve. Their “do it all” attitude really comes off as a more than a show for those in attendance. While still maintaining a top spot as an electronica group, STS9 is much more. They are not pigeon-holed into one category and at a live show you can truly tell by the difference in the crowd, which is what makes the live show so real to the places I like to find myself. They are a group that is aware of more than music, giving back comes to them in more ways than just a live show and they are not afraid to let their music roots dangle out there, soil and all……I found myself feeling rocked and jammed and certainly electro-fried up just right during their performance and if you have not had the opportunity to check them out, you certainly don’t have to hop a plane like I did this time around, but take a look on their site and make Sound Tribe Sector 9 a reason to get out and see live innovative music, sure to have you bobbin’ and dancing inside and out.

That’s the way, UH HUH!!

grnarrow — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 13:03:07 +0000

This final of the three sets featured some interesting jazzed up electro rock and the thick grooves to get lost in…..then all new music that has it’s own heartbeat and finally….if you haven’t hEAR MC Zulu‘s version of “Electric Avenue”…..well, like the listeners said “I have never hEARd it done that way”…..and that’s the way I like to try.

A Love Electric…it’s riGht!

grnarrow — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 16:57:50 +0000

When the music is riGht, it is just riGht. When I get a chance to hang with Todd Clouser it is often more than just music. Todd’s bandmates in A Love Electric know how to hit my “on” button. The conversations they have with the audience through the sound creation on stage is unique to the moment, like feelings. This electro-jazzed-rock talk is dialogue that crosses genres into something meant for ear share no matter your views on politics or your “I’m not much of a jazz head” persona…..whatever or whoever you are, A Love Electric offers sounds and sights that are above labels of any kind. It’s just plain good! Todd leads the band with his percise guitarmanship, hitting original notes that invite real listening, while begin able to get lost at the same time. As I mentioned in Todd and my latest conversation, the trumpet work often takes my ears to lands where the horn is something new, it dumbfounds. Stand up bass holds the pulse down true and steady while the man on the kit keeps the backbone crooked and keeps the rhythms of the room forward moving.
Madison’s own, Luke Polipnick had his freejazzrockjamtrio “GLACIER” going before Todd took the stage and I must say, that is a perfect way to get the night started. Out of this world sonic smacks to the face seem to be a great way to start an evening of music.

Check out one of my favorite A LOVE ELECTRIC tracks “Curtis”

EOTO Wild Time

grnarrow — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 13:17:47 +0000

Every time I hit the EOTO scene it seems to get better and better for me. The whole experience. This time they were back at the Majestic with a crowd full of people who get it. And boy, we “Got It”. The impromptu nature of the music made the niGht’s sounds like our very own chapter together, a shared musical journey that we really get a chance to help write. Not only was the sound graBBed deeply by my ear-holes, but the light show and visuals attached themselves in concert with what Michael and Travis were creating in that moment. If for some reason you haven’t found the time to find this more than a dubstep act called EOTO, I’d hope you’d find a little room to let them into your life and I promise they’ll color your evening with new hues and expose you to new sounds/songs/ and in the right now feelings that I have found hits me when I Coltrane myself.

Nawal took me there.

grnarrow — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 00:13:33 +0000

I was fortunate enough to speak with Nawal last week on the show and after seeing her and her band perform live as part of the 2011 Madison World Music Festival, I have to say that she reaches out to embrace, through her music and words but it is the undeniable meaning performing these prayers that stands out to me. When she and her bandmates sing/chant/utter/ “Shalom”, the very wish for peace leap out of me onto the universe. Through the instrumentation from her Indian Ocean roots consisting maGically of gambusi, flute, mbira, and daf; Nawal invites us into her dream of a peaceful world. The music caresses the soul and embraces the spirit. Thoughts and words disappear, and make way for meditation, introspection and inner peace. It is then and that I shared with you. Thank you for getting it. As a Muslim-born African woman who does not always adhere to traditional socio-religious codes, Nawal has faced many challenges in her career, yet she remains strong in her message and philosophy. Descending from the grand Sufi marabout of Comoros, El-Maarouf (1852-1904), Nawal invariably stays with the light of Islam founded upon love, respect and peace. In her music, she sings in favor of all humans, for education and for union. It is within our discussion that I realized she is a liGht, a person to follow…..I hope you’ll join me in paying attention to what she pours from her cup.

Touring Band:
Nawal, singer/songwriter, lead vocals, gambusi, guitar
Claudine François, piano, vocals
Aurore Voahangy Coriton, vocals, percussion
JB Gbadoe, percussion, vocals

a Prayer for your Soul

grnarrow — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 15:43:47 +0000

There are some who make a mark on you and there are some that are the ones. This set of music was created for you! There are portions meant to give you a soul massage, there are some meant to give your smile some extra time and then, there is the spirituality behind the feeling(s) of the music. The connection. I want to thank Nawal for being a part of this show as she enlightened me to her belief in a one world, one religion, prayers for peace not just songs on an album approach in her rebellious ways of living and creating. She will be here in Madison on Thursday as part of the world music festival and the meditative being within me looks forward to the connection her live show will bring my soul, and how I can translate that back to yours.
