Sarah hails from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where from a young age, she immersed herself in her parent’s eclectic record collection before finally falling in love with the storytelling and songcraft in country music. Spending a few years in Music City instilled a traditional songwriting sensibility that has earned her latest album Ordinary Things national airplay, critical acclaim, and has propelled her into the national spotlight. The marriage between Morris’s captivating vocals, sharply crafted lyrics and her talented band, the Sometimes Guys (Thomas Nordlund, Andrew Foreman, and Zachary Schmidt) creates a signature sound steeped in folk-rock, alt-country and sprinkled with a bit of pop. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Andriana Lehr - Singer/Songwriter, Americana Folk SOLO ​ OR DUO Official Website Bandcamp Facebook The Midwest has a strange way of framing darkness in the light.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wednesday, February 11, 2009 THREE DOG NIGHT AT BUFFALO THUNDER SANTA FE, N.M. —Three Dog Night will take the stage Saturday, Feb. 28, 8 p.m. at Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino. “Three Dog Night has been mesmerizing crowds for four decades,” says David Oakeley, Executive Director of Marketing, Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino. “We invite you to join us for a night of funky, soulful music with the lush, full-band experience of Three Dog Night.” From 1969 through 1974, no other group moved more records, sold more concert tickets or achieved more Top 10 hits. Tens of millions of their records have been sold over the years. In 2009 Three Dog Night continues to top the list of artists with the best “Billboard Top 100 Chart” average. Three Dog Night’s hits are heard daily in the U.S. on the radio, in TV commercials and in major motion pictures -- songs like “Mama Told Me (Not To Come),” “Joy to the World,” “Shambala,” “One” and “Black and White.” Founding Three Dog Night members Cory Wells and Danny Hutton will awe Buffalo Thunder concert-goers on lead vocals, with original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon, guitarist Michael Allsup, bassist Paul Kingery and drummer Pat Bautz completing the lineup. The band’s name came from a story about Australian aborigines who, on cold nights in the outback, sleep with their dogs for warmth.

  • Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015
    Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse.
