SUMMARY:Andrew Duhon
DESCRIPTION:It was Leo Tolstoy who said “All great literature is one of two stories; a man goes on a journey or a stranger comes to town\,” and in the case of Andrew Duhon and his latest album Emerald Blue\, both instances are true. Duhon temporarily left New Orleans\, his longtime home and musical muse in 2019\, finding himself inspired by the landscape of the Pacific Northwest and notably\, its colors—a hue he describes as ‘emerald blue’ for which the album is named\, the same shade looking back at him in his partner’s eyes. Had he overlooked the specific shade of her eyes while living below sea level? Or did the change of location open his mind more acutely? The record does just that: examine the familiar in the context of the unfamiliar. Emerald Blue is a probing appreciation of the dailiness of life; a note-taking exercise in living. \nDuhon channeled his new perspective into an eleven song collection\, calling on friends and collaborators including Jano Rix on drums\, percussion\, and harmonies; Myles Weeks on upright and electric basses and harmonies; and Dan Walker on keys and accordion. Duhon returned South for the recording process\, finding comfort and creativity in Maurice\, Louisiana’s storied Dockside Studios with GRAMMY-award winning engineer and longtime collaborator of Andrew’s\, Trina Shoemaker\, to capture every inch of vibe and beauty and texture each song had to offer. \nEmerald Blue in the news: \n“Andrew Duhon looks for a better balance to life on new ‘Emerald Blue’” via Gambit Weekly \nDuhon muses on the kindness of strangers and fly fishing for Coastal Angler \n“Faintly reminiscent of early M Ward and artists like Beachwood Sparks\, Bonnie “Prince” Billy\, Sparklehorse or Damien Jurado\, ‘Emerald Blue’ sits happily at the crossroads of harmony-drenched pop\, rustic americana\, Appalachian folk and about a half-dozen other styles\, all meeting and mixing around the warmth of Duhon’s vocals; world-weary\, stretched and full of soul.” –Holler \nDuhon is “a teller of stories with an undeniable voice\, weighted and soulful.” –KPCW/NPR \nNo Depression calls the album “effortless\,” noting “Duhon reminds us that everything comes in its time: adventure\, loneliness\, tragedy and — yes\, even if it’s fleeting — contentment.” \nFans can watch the music video for “Emerald Blue” at this link\, check out previously-released singles “Everybody Colored Their Own Jesus” and “Castle On Irish Bayou.” Duhon’s tour picks back up tonight in Lafayette\, LA before continuing throughout the Southeast and then over to the Pacific Northwest in late summer. A full list of dates and ticket information can be found below. \n

The Ramblers draw their material primarily from Andrew’s original songs which are rooted in the slower\, dreamier side of indie-folk\, blues\, Americana and bluegrass.  Andrew Innes (Acoustic Guitar & Vocals) has been studying and performing music for almost 40 years. Andrew started at the age of 16 with harmonica and piano\, and then picked up saxophone in his senior year of high school. Over the years Andrew has fronted various jazz groups on alto and tenor saxophones; played washboard\, musical saw and harmonica with the wonderful NYC-based bluegrass/western swing band\, The Bootleg Remedy.  Andrew played saxophone and harmonica with indie-chamber pop supergroup Champale (featuring members of Clem Snide\, Luna & Nada Surf) and spent two years in the house band for the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus. He performed for many years with Uncle Jimmy’s Dirty Basement\, a provocatively unlikely collaboration between Henson-level puppeteers and an avant-garde rock band and added musical saw\, saxophones and accordion to the cinematic soundscapes of the instrumental band\, Anchor Tattoo. In recent years Andrew has shifted his primary focus to guitar\, dobro\, singing\, and songwriting and can be seen in the Boston area fronting the Reluctant Ramblers\, playing with the AKE Trio\, and accompanying singer-songwriter Carla Ryder. Check out www.weescotsman.com to sign up for Andrew’s email list and find out about upcoming shows. \nEric Smalley (Upright bass) and Kim Patch (Fiddle) play with many groups in the Boston area including The Rozzicats\, Louder Than Milk\, Creek River String Band & the Bookmatch Duo.

SUMMARY:Side-splitting Silliness with Deb Seymour & Stan Lyness at PCA
DESCRIPTION:WESTFORD\, MA: Join two of the funniest songwriters you’ll ever know for an evening of satire\, parody and silliness!  The duo of Deb Seymour and Stan Lyness will be taking the stage at the Parish Center for the Arts\, 10 Lincoln Street on May 27 at 7pm (Doors open 6:30pm). For ticket reservations and more information\, visit pcawestford.org. \nHow exactly does one sum up the whimsical songwriter Deb Seymour? According to a fan\, “Joni Mitchell meets Lucille Ball.” Deb Seymour writes songs that tickle your funny bone and pull at your heart strings. She is a master musical storyteller whose songs range from hitch-hiking chickens and tango-dancing Martians to blues-influenced torch songs. She plays at wineries\, festivals\, house concerts\, cafes and listening rooms. Deb is a skilled\, award-winning guitarist and singer who counts four albums of original material (currently working on the 5th). She also simulcasts her popular livestream\, “Brunch w/Deb” on her Facebook and YouTube channels every Sunday\, whether on the road or not. Her fans call themselves “Deb-Heads” and tune in from the USA\, Canada\, UK\, Germany\, Israel and Australia. \nPlaying alongside Deb is musician and satirist Stan Lyness\, a Boston-area songwriter with an unshakeable faith that\, at its core\, the universe is funny and can be forced to rhyme. Stan will leave you between stitches and tears with his witty repartee and sardonic humor. He was first moved to write by an excruciatingly dull high school social studies class\, and has ever since taken up the pen whenever things get slow. He now finds himself in “an enormously productive period.” \nSit\, chat\, sing and laugh ‘til your sides ache during Seymour & Lyness’ fun concert at the Parish Center for the Arts (PCA)\, located at 10 Lincoln Street on Westford Common. Bring your own food and drink for a complete evening of entertainment. Limited cabaret-style seating. Doors open at 6:30pm; show begins at 7pm.

SUMMARY:Vance Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:“If Joni Mitchell and Richie Havens had a love child\, with Rodney Dangerfield as the midwife\, the results might have been something close to the great Vance Gilbert.” As the above quote from Richmond magazine suggests\, Vance Gilbert defies stereotypes. It’s little wonder then that he also exceeds expectations. In this case\, those two qualities go hand in hand. “I’m black\, I sing\, I play an acoustic guitar\, and I don’t play the blues\,” Gilbert insists. That may be a broad statement\, but it rings with truth. \nWhat he does do is make memorable music\, as evidenced by the 13 albums he’s released so far\, as well as the mark he’s made on the folk and acoustic music scenes in general. Over the course of a prolific career that extends back to the early ’90s\, he’s recorded with his good friend Ellis Paul and shared stages worldwide with Aretha Franklin\, Shawn Colvin\, Arlo Guthrie\, the Milk Carton Kids\, George Carlin (150+ shows)\, Anita Baker\, the Subdudes\, Paul Reiser and any number of others. \nHe’s also made a prominent presence at some of the world’s most prestigious gatherings\, among them the Newport\, Winnipeg\, Rocky Mountain\, Calgary\, Ottawa\, and Falcon Ridge folk festivals\, the Kate Wolf Music Festival\, and Australia’s Woodford Folk Festival and Mullum Music Festival. “There was also that one nude festival in Maryland\,” Gilbert recalls. “I don’t recall the name of that one\, but I have to admit that the name wasn’t the first thing I would remember.” \nNaturally\, Gilbert can be forgiven for that minor oversight\, given the amount of praise he’s received from the pundits. His remarkable rapport with his audiences and his free spirited performances inspired one critic to hail him as “a folkie trapped in a vaudevillian body\,” with “a voice that could have been on the opera stage\, a wit that could have been on a comedy stage and a songwriting talent that’s thrust him on the folk stage for decades.” \nContinue reading at https://vancegilbert.com/bio/

Her hard living music has garnered her the nickname “Canada’s Queen of Americana.” And while her deep\, bluesy croon has drawn comparisons to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch\, it’s the poetry of her lyrics that really sets her apart. \nHanson is known for her high energy\, roots guitar driven live performances\, whether playing solo or with her band the Good Intentions. She has an uncanny way of connecting with her audience with an authenticity that is as entertaining as it is disarming.

SUMMARY:The Nields
DESCRIPTION:If there’s one constant here\, it’s The Nields sisters’ beautifully sweet vocal harmonies that sound eerily like the Roches singing Lush in a really big room. It’s infectious stuff.\n-Austin Chronicle \nWhat’s A Nields? The Nields story begins with the two sisters. Nerissa and Katryn a grew up singing folk songs in the kitchen and in the back seat of the family car. Katryna learned to sing melody with their father\, eventually making her an ideal front person for the band. Nerissa\, on the other hand\, tackled the harmonies; with that skill\, she provided a natural counterpoint to her sister’s vibrant lead. “I knew I wanted to be a singer and songwriter from the time I was 7\,” explains Nerissa. “I remember I wrote my first song that I was really proud of when I was 13\, and right away I had a harmony for it\, so I dragged Katryna out of her room and taught her the harmony. It was instinct — I knew that my sister should be there.” In the late ’80s\, Nerissa and Katryna met a graduate student named David Jones\, who had always longed for a career in music. Playing acoustic guitar through an electric pedal board\, he joined the sisters as they played open mics in the Washington\, DC area. Later\, he married Nerissa and took HER last name (“Just like the Ramones!\,” he said). The trio then moved to New England and released their first two recordings\, 66 Hoxsey St. (named after the house in Williamstown\, MA that Nerissa and David were living in when they started the band. \nBy the fall of ’94\, The Nields were a full-fledged five-piece acoustic rock explosion. The critical kudos were coming in\, with The Boston Globe commenting simply\, “The Nields are young. They are hip. They are hot. \nSo much more to their story at  https://nields.com/ \nXVII\, the Nields’ seventeenth album\, is both their most personal and their most community-minded. Well into their third decade as a musical partners and—judging by this sublime album––at the very top of their game\, the Nields turn to meditations on time\, and turning points\, their roots and community – both musical and personal – but they also express joy in the present\, faith in the future\, and a whole lot of hope and promise.

Send email to whalecoveproductions@gmail.com to get more information or to make a reservation. \nForest Sun was born in upstate New York to folksinging back-to-the-land hippie parents. His dad used to chop wood with neighbor Garth Hudson of the Band and literally built the floor that Bob Dylan stood on at manager Albert Grossman’s Bearsville studios in Woodstock\, NY.  His mom heard Pete Seeger and Joan Baez play when they filmed a TV show in her uncles living room in Boston\, and dated one of the Chambers Brothers before she met his dad.  Weaned on a diet of Jackson Browne and Toots and the Maytals\, some of Forest’s earliest memories are of his dad playing “Poncho and Lefty” by Townes Van Zandt and his mom singing Elizabeth Cotton’s “Freight Train”. Forest wrote songs with Rory Block when he was six years old\, learned to juggle with WavyGravy when he was 9\, and studied drumming with the late African master percussionist Babatunde Olatunji as a teenager.  In college he played in a band with SNL star Maya Rudolph. They opened for No Doubt at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz before Forest left to study art in Spain. \nA pioneer of the DIY movement he recorded his first record in his bedroom in San Francisco with bassist Seth Ford Young (Tom Waits\, Edward Sharpe) and toured Europe for the first time\, including playing at the Rally on Dam Square in Amsterdam for the Tibetan Freedom Concert where he first met Ben Harper\, Alanis Morrisette and Thom Yorke. \nWith over 78 million plays on Pandora\, troubadour and award-winning songwriter\, Forest Sun\, enlivens audiences around the globe with his wealth of songs and stories\, all sung and told in a laid-back California style. Sun’s soulful music draws on a deep well of Americana and is compared to everyone from Jack Johnson and The Avett Brothers to Van Morrison and Bob Dylan.  He’s played festivals from California (Strawberry Music Festival\, American River Music Festival) to Europe (Belladrum in Scottland\, Fiesta City in Belgium)\,opened for such luminaries as Lyle Lovett\, Bonnie Rait\, Steve Earle\, Keb Mo\, and toured with folks like Brett Dennen\, Mason Jennings and the Beach Boys (Forest met famed Beach Boys producer Van Dyke Parks at a festival porch jam and later swapped songs on his piano at his house in LA). Musical collaborations on his records include members of Bob Dylans band\, members of Calexico/Iron and Wine\, Heather Massse(The Wailin’ Jennys\, Prairie Home Companion) Jolie Holland (The Be Good Tanyas)\,  JT Nero(of Birds of Chicago)\, Sean Hayes\, jam band ALO\, and bluegrass band Hot Buttered Rum.
