SUMMARY:Goodnight Moonshine - Molly Venter and Eben Pariser
DESCRIPTION:QUOTES \n“Pariser’s harmonic sensibilities are wide\, imaginative\, while Venter’s singular voice recalls pre-diva singers who could lay out emotions without melodrama.”\n-Jedd Beaudoin\, NPR \n“Goodnight Moonshine is singer-songwriter Molly Venter and guitarist Eben Pariser\, and their particular magic they create together is fluid\, evocative\, and absolutely mesmerizing. Watching them perform you get the sense that they aren’t just delivering a song\, they ARE the music. As partners in life and in art\, their deep authenticity and give-and-take collaboration is inspiring\, inclusive and beautiful to witness.”\n-Beth Wood\, Singer-Songwriter / Sisters Folk Festival \n“Let’s begin with the voice of Molly Venter. It’s velvety smooth. It’s biker-chick smoky. It has a jaw-dropping range and control that can bend from soulful to gritty to playful and back again.” \n  -Lisa Reisman\, New Haven Register \n  \nBIO \nGoodnight Moonshine is a guitar and vocal duet\, and a musical marriage in all senses. The Duo combines the evocative voice and songwriting of Molly Venter\, with Eben Pariser’s adventurous guitar playing. The result is folk music with a depth of improvisation and tonal subtlety usually reserved for jazz. \nMolly is well known for her sublime singing in the prominent female-vocal-group Red Molly\, while Eben cut his teeth as a street performer in New York City\, playing guttural music of New Orleans with his band Roosevelt Dime. \nMolly’s enviable voice\, which can be called both “biker-chick smoky” (New Haven Register)\, and “like silk” (American Songwriter Magazine)\, has taken her career to highlights including Tønder Festival in Denmark\, Kate Wolf Fest in CA\, and multiple placements on television and film. In Goodnight Moonshine she is in full force as a songwriter. Her trance-induced stream-of-consciousness writing style results in compositions that probe the depths of her inner experience. Her hit song “Hold It All”\, recorded with Red Molly and performed regularly with Goodnight Moonshine\, questions the meaning of life\, and grapples with acceptance\, with honesty and heart usually reserved for literary writers- which she also is- she writes a weekly column on Patreon.com \nStarting as a blues guitarist in his teens\, Eben’s imagination was quickly captured by classic jazz\, which he studied at the Oberlin Conservatory. “Pariser’s harmonic sensibilities are wide\, imaginative” (NPR)\, and his career has involved singing lead and playing bass with Roosevelt Dime\, playing drums and being musical director of Red Molly- but it is his love of jazz and improvising on display in Goodnight Moonshine. A natural producer\, Eben has 8 studio records under his belt for himself and other artists\, and recently launched the new record label\, Equitone Records. \nAfter cutting several records\, and experimenting with limitless creative possibilities of studio production\, Goodnight Moonshine is now thrilling audiences as an acoustic guitar duo. The format allows them to focus entirely on each other’s gifts\, and enter a hypnotic trance\, a cycle of responsive vocal inspiration and guitar improvisation that deepens throughout the show. It is a main-line of the very best that both artists have to offer\, and perhaps why their single-mike show has become an unlikely festival act- in 2023 they are slated to play Arts And Ideas (CT)\, Red Ants Pants (MT)\, and Sisters Folk Fest (OR). \nGuitar and vocal duos are rare and few come to mind\, but the ones that do\, such as Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings\, and The Milk Carton Kids\, have achieved and integration between singular talents in a format that is both genre-less and grounded in the commonness of two guitars\, two voices. Goodnight Moonshine is taking their own stab at this unusual and deeply personal approach. Their show is punctuated by songs and banter that openly explore the complexities of their relationship to each other\, the Creator\, birth\, life\, death\, and what happens when\, “the honeymoon ends?” For Molly and Eben\, It is the way they make space for each other while staying true to themselves that defines this music\, and marriage. \nGoodnight Moonshine has two studio records; their self-titled debut album Goodnight Moonshine (2013)\, and I’m The Only One Who Will Tell You Your Bad (2018)\, as well as two singles; Harder Than It Should Be (2021)\, and What Do You Wanna Know (2022)\, all produced by Pariser. \ngoodnightmoonshine.com/press

SUMMARY:Malvinas Postponed to Sunday 8/17 at 2PM
DESCRIPTION:Covid! \nPostponed til 8/17 \nRSVP to info@lakeviewhouseconcerts.org to reserve a seat. You must get an invitation email from me to attend.\nFor more info about The Malvinas see themalvinas.com/\nCall 508 528 0026 for questions\, please leave a message. \n$25 suggested donation in the tip jar but payment is optional. 100% of the donations go directly to the artists. There are no tickets\, but please RSVP so I know how many will be here. Join us at 6PM here for a potluck dinner. Bring a dish\, we supply drinks and ice cream. \nWith roots all over North America\, the Malvinas pull together a broad palette of regional flavours including: the blues-tinged grooves of the deep South\, the spicy Cajun flavours of Louisiana\, the Celtic modes of Eastern Canada and the groovy troubadour tradition of the Catskill region. Alternating lead vocalists\, tight harmonies and quirky instrumentation (banjo\, guitar\, tenor guitar\, mandolins and violin) create a high energy sound that never forgets that to make great music\, you start with a great song. \nIndividually and collectively\, The Malvinas have been fortunate to work as side women and to share the stage with some really great artists including: Bruce Daigrepont\, Jack Hardy\, Eliza Gilkyson\, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Tim Grimm. Past appearances include: The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, Festival Internationale\, The Kerrville Folk Festival and WFMT ‘s Folkstage. \nabout our name  “Malvina Reynolds was a singer\, songwriter and activist. Reflecting the cultural and political turmoil of the day\, her powerful\, sometimes somber\, sometimes lighthearted songs address issues still pertinent today: environmental deterioration\, women’s rights\, workers’ rights\, social justice\, and the homogenization of culture.” \nThe malvinas are \nLisa “I am not interested in what you think” Markley (banjo\, guitar and vocals). After graduating from North Texas with a degree in music\, Lisa melted down her trombone to make a belly button ring. Formerly a member of the way cool band Akoustik Nerve\, Lisa is inspired by the music of Joni Mitchell and the Subdudes – and- she thinks that Patricia Barber is just the coolest thing since fresh cilantro. Lisa is also an award winning songwriter with a inimitable groove oriented edge. \nGina “the hopeful romantic” Forsyth (guitar\, violin\, vocals). Since fleeing the Bible Belt an undisclosed number of years ago\, Gina has been (in no particular order): a fiddle player in several Cajun bands\, a folk DJ on a college station\, a college student\, a civil servant\, a movie extra for a day\, and a drummer in a punk rock band for all of five minutes. Her favorite artists include the McGarrigle Sisters\, Ralph Stanley\, Belton Richard\, and a host of friends she has played and recorded with over the last several years. \nBeth “the irritating optimist” Cahill (mandolins\, tenor guitar and vocals). Beth decided to pursue music after nearly being crushed to death at a Violent Femmes concert. She never gets tired of listening to Glenn Gould’s recordings of the Goldberg Variations and trying to explain 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.   Her influences include: Rickie Lee Jones\, The Roches\, and Richard Thompson. She is from Canada and has no sense of humour.

SUMMARY:Darlingside
DESCRIPTION:Darlingside – Everything Is Alive \nEverything Is Alive\, Darlingside’s fourth LP\, marks a subtle but remarkable departure for the Boston-based quartet NPR once described as “exquisitely arranged\, literary minded\, baroque folk-pop.” While the album retains much of the lushness and sophistication of Extralife (2018) and Fish Pond Fish (2020)\, the band’s latest work decisively exposes and differentiates the individual voices of the four songwriters—a daring reinvention for a group known for ubiquitous vocal harmonies. Grappling with change both personal and universal\, with quandaries domestic and existential\, Everything Is Alive is an album about loss and the struggle for a semblance of redemption. \nComprised of Don Mitchell\, Auyon Mukharji\, Harris Paseltiner and David Senft\, four likeminded multi-instrumentalists who first met at Williams College in 2009\, Darlingside’s career has been defined by the elegance of their compositions and the unity of their four voices. Their talent for harmony and melodic world-building is part of what garnered praise from outlets like NPR\, Rolling Stone and The New Yorker\, and what has created demand worldwide for their extraordinary live performances. Becoming beautifully unindividualized has\, in other words\, worked very well for Darlingside in the past. With a vigor and discipline more common to graduate-level writing workshops than to indie rock\, Darlingside has\, over the years\, experimented with all manners of idiosyncratic methods for elevating and upholding a truly democratic process of songwriting—processes that include multiple rounds of group writing and recording exercises—all with the aim of escaping the trap that bands with multiple songwriters often fall into: ego-driven infighting and artistic incoherence. \nOn Everything Is Alive\, then\, Darlingside is taking a risk. Nudged by the limitations created by pandemic isolation\, as well as through other more voluntary catalysts\, the album\, which was produced and recorded by the band and mixed by Tucker Martine (My Morning Jacket\, Sufjan Stevens\, Iron and Wine)\, foregrounds in a sustained and heretofore untried way the individual voices of each member. Where once the harmonies formed a hard-won sonic unification\, Everything Is Alive showcases the four singers as they alternate (more or less) song for song\, an approach that rewards listeners with a sense of personal ownership and\, therefore\, a new degree of intimacy and nuance. \nDon’t misunderstand: Everything Is Alive is still very much a collaborative effort—many of the same meticulous rituals and exercises went into this effort as went into Extralife and Fish Pond Fish. The difference here is that the band has given itself permission to plumb new depths\, to add extra dimension to what was already a highly dialed-in aesthetic. And the results are compelling\, not only due to the intimacy itself\, but for the way such intimacy is counterpointed or juxtaposed against Darlingside’s trademark lusciousness. Present still are the beds of enveloping harmonies\, as in the stunning (mostly) a cappella “How Long Again.” Retained also are the textured polyrhythms\, the infectious body percussion\, a triumphant horn section to bolster the earworm chorus of “Baking Soda” and a sobering cello quartet to elevate the heartbreak of “Lose The Keys.” The difference is that on Everything Is Alive these moments have been set against quieter\, and thus contrasting\, depths of solitude and vulnerability. \nIn this way\, Everything Is Alive\, which was begun in 2021\, seems a continuation of 2020’s Fish Pond Fish. A sequel\, perhaps; the second half of a COVID double album. Where Fish Pond Fish built its lush sonic landscape around vibrant images of woolgathering\, fruit picking and returning home\, Everything Is Alive confronts the multitude of challenges that arise when “home at last” becomes “when\, dear god\, will I be free of this stasis and grief?” Lose the keys\, the marbles\, lose a parent/lose the count\, lose the plot/it’s the losing that counts/is it not sings Mitchell on “Lose the Keys.” Elsewhere one encounters images of walking in circles\, of domestic frustration\, and of unabashedly falling apart\, all of which work together as an acknowledgment of a despair that must be confronted before redemption can be made possible. “Am I almost out of the dark?” asks Senft on “Can’t Help Falling Apart”—a track that\, it turns out\, helped Senft arrive at the realization that he could not continue as a touring member of the band. \nIn other places on the album\, such as opening track “Green Light\,” a propensity for retreating into the self is refuted by an attempt to discern the small but tangible glory of the world before us. The song meditates on the humble beauty contained within things as (seemingly) drab as sidewalks and concrete and rust. Built on an iPhone memo of a strumming mandocello\, “Green Light” is notable for another reason: in its mantra-like worldliness it is unlike anything Darlingside has done before. Reminiscent of George Harrison circa “Within You Without You\,” the track\, itself a creative leap\, signals the heretofore untrod territory the album at large goes on to explore. \nVivid images and striking turns of phrase abound on Everything Is Alive. Expectations are commonly inverted or exploded—exploded curiously\, with nuance\, but exploded no less—as in these lines from “All The Lights In The City”: maybe working is what makes us live\, or maybe it’s living/sky is always hanging blue above the cloud/but the path of no resistance will wear you out. On “Sea Dogs\,” the track that contains the album’s title\, Paseltiner sings over an effervescent dreamscape: I can’t wake up all the time/or even half the time or/even be on time. Such lines capture the disorientation and desperation that pervade this album. And yet\, later in the same song\, come the lines which align poignantly with the song’s dreamy sonic context: when up in the clouds are sea dogs/and kites and big white basketballs/the backyard is thickening/ how is it everything/ everything is alive/alive\, alive. “Sea Dogs” is both the album’s thesis and a bridge to Fish Pond Fish\, modifying that album’s motifs about nature as a reflection of the self to ask whether nature is not also a means of escaping or transcending the confines of selfhood altogether. \nIt’s a rare thing and becoming rarer by the day: a group of musicians with that emulsifying magic to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts. And to see Darlingside perform live is to confirm this special chemistry. With the release of Everything Is Alive the band will\, for the first time\, take to the road without Dave Senft. Instead of filling his spot directly\, the band has wisely chosen to honor the special chemistry of the foursome by letting those arrangements live on the recordings without obligation to faithfully recreate them onstage. While Dave remains a contributing member of the band\, on tour Darlingside will perform in a completely different configuration altogether—a configuration that will\, at times\, include the album’s drummer Ben Burns\, singer Molly Parden\, and others—proving again how the group can adroitly rearrange themselves for the breaking of a new and different day.\nhttps://www.darlingside.com/about

SUMMARY:Malvinas
DESCRIPTION:RSVP to info@lakeviewhouseconcerts.org to reserve a seat. You must get an invitation email from me to attend.\nFor more info about The Malvinas see themalvinas.com/\nCall 508 528 0026 for questions\, please leave a message. \n$25 suggested donation in the tip jar but payment is optional. 100% of the donations go directly to the artists. There are no tickets\, but please RSVP so I know how many will be here. Join us at 6PM here for a potluck dinner. Bring a dish\, we supply drinks and ice cream. \nWith roots all over North America\, the Malvinas pull together a broad palette of regional flavours including: the blues-tinged grooves of the deep South\, the spicy Cajun flavours of Louisiana\, the Celtic modes of Eastern Canada and the groovy troubadour tradition of the Catskill region. Alternating lead vocalists\, tight harmonies and quirky instrumentation (banjo\, guitar\, tenor guitar\, mandolins and violin) create a high energy sound that never forgets that to make great music\, you start with a great song. \nIndividually and collectively\, The Malvinas have been fortunate to work as side women and to share the stage with some really great artists including: Bruce Daigrepont\, Jack Hardy\, Eliza Gilkyson\, Ray Wylie Hubbard and Tim Grimm. Past appearances include: The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival\, Festival Internationale\, The Kerrville Folk Festival and WFMT ‘s Folkstage. \nabout our name  “Malvina Reynolds was a singer\, songwriter and activist. Reflecting the cultural and political turmoil of the day\, her powerful\, sometimes somber\, sometimes lighthearted songs address issues still pertinent today: environmental deterioration\, women’s rights\, workers’ rights\, social justice\, and the homogenization of culture.” \nThe malvinas are \nLisa “I am not interested in what you think” Markley (banjo\, guitar and vocals). After graduating from North Texas with a degree in music\, Lisa melted down her trombone to make a belly button ring. Formerly a member of the way cool band Akoustik Nerve\, Lisa is inspired by the music of Joni Mitchell and the Subdudes – and- she thinks that Patricia Barber is just the coolest thing since fresh cilantro. Lisa is also an award winning songwriter with a inimitable groove oriented edge. \nGina “the hopeful romantic” Forsyth (guitar\, violin\, vocals). Since fleeing the Bible Belt an undisclosed number of years ago\, Gina has been (in no particular order): a fiddle player in several Cajun bands\, a folk DJ on a college station\, a college student\, a civil servant\, a movie extra for a day\, and a drummer in a punk rock band for all of five minutes. Her favorite artists include the McGarrigle Sisters\, Ralph Stanley\, Belton Richard\, and a host of friends she has played and recorded with over the last several years. \nBeth “the irritating optimist” Cahill (mandolins\, tenor guitar and vocals). Beth decided to pursue music after nearly being crushed to death at a Violent Femmes concert. She never gets tired of listening to Glenn Gould’s recordings of the Goldberg Variations and trying to explain 100 Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.   Her influences include: Rickie Lee Jones\, The Roches\, and Richard Thompson. She is from Canada and has no sense of humour.

SUMMARY:April Verch and Cody Walters
DESCRIPTION:Because of the poor weather forecast\, this concert will be indoors and capacity will be limited to 30. The suggested contribution is $20\, payable at the door by cash\, check\, or Venmo. Send email to info@whalecove.org to get more information or to request an invitation. \nTo listen to April Verch and Cody Walters is to be immersed in tradition. To watch them perform is to be transported. Be it regional Canadian roots\, American old-time\, 50’s Country\, Scandinavian folk music\, or something original that sounds as though it’s been around for a century—the one common thread is their love and reverence for the music and traditions that have been passed down to them. \nHusband and wife duo April Verch & Cody Walters is a true partnership of kindred musical spirits\, each a world-class musician in their own right. Combining their unique backgrounds from Verch’s native Ottawa Valley and Walters’ heartland roots in Kansas\, their music showcases endless creativity and versatility—transitioning effortlessly from traditional Ottawa Valley step dancing and fiddle tunes\, to old-time fiddle-banjo duets with tight-knit vocal harmonies\, to innovative sandpaper foot percussion\, all contrasted against Verch’s sweet soprano voice.

SUMMARY:Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem
DESCRIPTION:QUOTES:\n“One of America’s most inventive string bands” — The Boston Herald \n“Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem dig deep into their collective souls\, finding joy in the moment\, peace in the harmonies\, and rapture in the rhythmic drive.” — Hartford Courant \n“Effortless and loose…” — Acoustic Guitar Magazine \nBIO:\nHarmony\, rhythm\, indelible songs – these are the hallmarks of Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem\, the New England based folk quartet now in its 20th year. From the Newport Folk Festival to California World Music Festival and beyond\, this band’s steadfast brew of wit\, camaraderie\, and musicality leaves audiences everywhere humming and hopeful\, spirits renewed. \nRani Arbo & daisy mayhem are Rani Arbo (fiddle\, guitar)\, Andrew Kinsey (bass\, banjo\, ukulele)\, Anand Nayak (electric and acoustic guitars) and Scott Kessel (percussion). At the helm\, Arbo is “blessed with an unmistakable voice\, both light RANI ARBO & DAISY MAYHEM and sultry\, with a hint of tremolo and smoke” (Acoustic Guitar). With Kinsey and Nayak’s vibrant baritones and Kessel’s resonant bass\, the band’s signature lockstep harmonies can shake the rafters or hush the room. Arbo’s fiddle is sweet and sinewy\, while Nayak’s guitar stretches across genre lines. Kinsey’s old-time bass anchors the deep groove of Kessel’s homemade percussion kit — a truly funky collection of cardboard boxes\, tin cans\, caulk tubes\, packing-tape tambourines\, bottle-cap rattles\, Mongolian jaw harps\, and a vinyl suitcase. \nIn the lineage of string bands who blur the boundaries of American roots music\, Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem have always been standard-bearers\, with a particular knack for pairing words and music. From bluegrass barnstormers to sultry swing\, old-time gospel to bluesy folk-rock\, they consistently turn in lush arrangements with “stylish\, unexpected choices” (Acoustic Guitar). Original songs fit seamlessly aside artful re-workings of Georgia Sea Islands music\, Hank Williams\, Leonard Cohen\, Bruce Springsteen — just a few of the many places this band is willing to go. Writes Maverick Magazine\, “How refreshing to hear something that sounds as if it has come from people who are genuinely original thinkers. \nAs soon as Rani Arbo & daisy mayhem strike up\, you realize this is a band that is unpredictable and impossible to pigeonhole. But\, what a thoroughly mellifluous melange — sophisticated\, soulful and always handled with care and a lightness of touch that is part folk/jazz/ country\, part blues/old time\, and all good. There is a togetherness that flows right through the heart of the performance. It never gets too clever and always remains understated and classy.”   https://www.raniarbo.com/toolkit/radm-one-sheet-7/
