MOLLY THOMAS Ingredients of the Human Spirit, and This Album Provides a Perfect Snapshot in Which to Relate
“Unavailable Man,” and “You’re a Sorry One,” she calls out a conniving female, tells her man to grow up, tells someone she’s out, begs “that guy” to stop hurting women and tells a cheater off. But these aren’t the ramblings of some prepubescent wallowing in her misery. These are the stories of a woman who sees through the games people play, without becoming bitter or victimized. Her uncanny ability for empathy is evident in “Hey, I’ve Been There Too,” where she shares her compassion for people struggling with everyday problems, and her optimistic outlook comes shining through on “Henry John” and “Blanket of Stars,” where she looks hopefully toward the future and new beginnings. And while Molly is a true renaissance woman who has changed much over the years, her roots stay strong—as evidenced in “The Ocean,” a haunting melody about the healing waters of her homeland and her people. And finally, the title track, “Make Everything Bright” sums up the entire record with the lyrics “I hear a sad song behind a happy conversation. What a perfect situation, I could die like this.” And just as in the song, this happy title is filled with evocative lyrics, poignant phrases, and mysterious melodies, all woven together to create her most passionate and heartfelt record yet. Molly surrounded herself with quite the cast of musicians on this album. Besides co-producing the record, Marco Giovino is also the pounding beat behind the drums. Other players include Paul Ossola (Levon Helm, GE Smith), Frank Swart (Patty Griffin), Kylie Harris (Patty Loveless), Doug Lancio (Patty Griffin, John Hiatt, Todd Snider), John Jackson (Bob Dylan, Shelby Lynne, Lucinda Williams), Christopher Hoffee (Atom Orr, The Truckee Brothers & Steve Poltz), John Morgan Reilly (RxGF; co-producer of “Blanket of Stars”), Neal Pawley, Brian Ritchey and Matthew Burgess.

Tickets are priced at $55 and $75 for gold circle seats (first four rows, center section) and are on sale now at the Riverwalk Center Ticket Office, by phone at 970-547-3100 or online at breckcreate.org. John Hiatt's career as a performer and songwriter has spanned more than 30 years and everyone from Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, BB King, Bonnie Raitt, and Iggy Pop has covered his work. The Los Angeles Times calls him “…one of rock’s most astute singer-songwriters of the last 40 years,” after the release of his newest album Terms Of My Surrender, last summer via New West Records. Hiatt, a master lyricist and satirical storyteller, weaves hidden plot twists into fictional tales ranging in topics including redemption, relationships, growing older and surrendering, on his terms. This new record is musically rooted in acoustic blues, accentuated by Hiatt’s soulful, gritty voice, which mirrors the gravity of his reflective lyrics.

A Conversation with Matthew Ryan by Frank Goodman (1/2007, Puremusic.com) Dark, stark, brooding, explosive. It's all that, with an abiding brilliance that delivers both the singer and the listener at least an avenue out and an entrance in to hematomic world of Matthew Ryan. Seven highly regarded records into the game, Ryan is on the map, but still searching for home. He's done major labels, smaller labels, self releases, and international licensing deals, and thoroughly gained the respect of the global press. Through the catalog, his writing is unabashedly poetic, ever fierce, and always a very recognizable voice. Sometimes called alternative country, his material frequently owes more to 80's Brit pop sonically, and his current missive, From A Late Night High Rise was largely birthed on one keyboard, before he handed over the storm of thick noisy tracks to Neilson Hubbard to sort and flesh out. This record took place after a collaboration with Hubbard and others called Strays Don't Sleep, and was written, more crucially, after his brother was sentenced to thirty years. On the phone, I found Matthew very warm, a fellow Philly guy who was surprisingly forthcoming. No walk in the park, to be sure, but a good man. Someone to get behind; nobody to cross, certainly no one to take lightly. After I digested the formidable From A Late Night High Rise, I revisited the midnight folk of Concussion and the masterful Hybrid release Regret Over The Wires, from a couple of years back. These are all passionate, important releases, and Strays Don't Sleep is a remarkable sounding collaboration between Ryan and Neilson Hubbard that includes Brian Bequette (Garrison Starr) on guitars, Billy Mercer (Ryan Adams) on bass and Steve Latanation (Agent Orange) on drums.

MR Starlings Final LONGER
Matthew Ryan - Hustle Up Starlings Due to be released May 12th, 2017 “On a dark lit night In the throes of another ﬁght I heard a song, made me feel alright Made me wanna explode into light...” — Battle Born Matthew Ryan is experiencing a kind of noisy renaissance. It began in 2014 with the release of Boxers, a fevered and smart rock ‘n’ roll record about the working class, produced by Kevin Salem. May 2017 will see the follow-through with Hustle Up Starlings, a heart-on-the-sleeve collection of silvery anthems that further illustrate Ryan’s reinvigorated love of language, noise and cinema. Produced by Brian Fallon from The Gaslight Anthem, Starlings shimmers with an immediate and captivating focus. The 10-song set clocks in at 40 minutes with no prevarication or bluster, just a celebratory noise alight with hearts and history, broken-in voices and poetry. Matthew Ryan grew up in Chester, Pennsylvania just south of Philly, and spent his teens in Newark, Delaware. In his early 20s, he moved to Nashville, where he was ﬁrst signed to A&M Records, releasing May Day (1997) and East Autumn Grin (2000) before falling prey to the titanic label mergers of the early aughts. What followed was more or less an album a year by any and all means possible until 2012’s In The Dusk of Everything. After moving to Western Pennsylvania in 2011, Ryan quietly decided that he’d had enough. Dusk would be his last album. “Music had become too lonely,” he said. But soon after that declaration, a sudden friendship with the frontman from The Gaslight Anthem, Brian Fallon, reignited something in Ryan.

A Conversation with Patty Griffin by Frank Goodman (2/2007, Puremusic.Com)
A Conversation with Patty Griffin by Frank Goodman (2/2007, Puremusic.com) When discerning people of hip culture today consider who their favorite singers are, there is a great likelihood that Patty Griffin appears in their Top Ten. She has quietly, firmly assumed that spot without any apparent push from labels or high powered PR, although a more subtle grassroots effort has always been afoot, no doubt. But she got there largely the old fashioned way, she sang her way there. By herself, as a duo or with rock bands in certain periods, making obvious the truth that she can do all that, and much more. And though her voice is not short of magnificent, her songwriting propelled her to success in short order. People want to cut a Patty Griffin song the same way they might want Buddy Miller to play or Emmy Lou to sing on their record. They want them there, as part of who they are, and to make their record that much more special. We're very glad to have had the opportunity to speak with the artist recently, to mark the occasion of her new benchmark release, Children Running Through. She's complicated, interesting, and shared some of herself that day. A play based on her music will soon appear, written by Keith Brunin and produced by Tom Hulce. We discussed that, and many parts of her past and present in the pages to follow. We're sure that after you hear the clips on the Listen page, you'll be enjoying your own copy of Children Running Through, as we have ours.

John Hiatt Tilts the Mystic Pinball
John Hiatt Tilts The Mystic Pinball New Album Available September 25, 2012 Via New West Records Listen To The First Single “We’re Alright Now” At Facebook.com/JohnHiatt Extensive Tour Includes Co-Headline Dates With Steve Earle, The Americana Music Association Festival And Two Nights At City Winery In NYC Los Angeles, CA – August 13, 2012 – Acclaimed musician and songwriter John Hiatt will release Mystic Pinball on September 25th via New West Records. Called “…one of rock’s most astute singer-songwriters of the last 40 years” by the Los Angeles Times, Hiatt continues to write brilliant character studies, twisting entertaining storylines with cunning lyrics and wry humor including “We’re Alright Now,” the first single from Mystic Pinball. The blues driven “We’re Alright Now” is available to hear at Facebook.com/JohnHiatt. Mystic Pinball will be available as both a CD and on limited edition 180-gram vinyl. Hiatt and his band, The Combo, have gained a reputation for captivating crowds at their live shows as The Tennessean depicts: “He prowls the stage, delivering the bluesy stuff in a whiskey-burn howl, shouting the rock stuff and fronting a formidable band that can turn on a dime, from ballads to bombast.” Hiatt & The Combo begin a US run mid- August that includes dates with Steve Earle, a special appearance at the Americana Festival in Nashville and two shows at City Winery in NYC (full list of dates below.) For Mystic Pinball, Hiatt’s 21st studio album, Hiatt turned to producer Kevin “Caveman” Shirley (Aerosmith, Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa.) Shirley also produced Hiatt’s highly praised Dirty Jeans And Mudslide Hymns, which the New York Times declared was “…his best since 1995.” Hiatt relies on the exceptional musical skills of Doug Lancio (electric guitar, mandolin, Dobro), Kenneth Blevins (drums and percussion) and Patrick O’Hearn (bass) to play with him on the record.
