Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com MUSIC LISTS HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER BONNAROO PRIMAVERA SASQUATCH! We look at our favourite tracks from the North Carolina duo THURSDAY 7 MAY 2015 09:07 We've been listening to Hiss Golden Messenger ever since their outstanding debut Poor Moon hit our ears in 2012. Luckily for us, the duo of MC Taylor and Scott Hirsch will be hitting European shores this summer, with a show at Primavera before playing the likes of Sasquatch and Bonnaroo this summer. We have a look at our favourite HGM tracks below. 1. Under All the Land It takes some absolute musical tekkers to whack out a country song daring enough to let a few funk guitars come in the middle. This blew our minds the first time we heard it, though that might be because all we understand about coming happens right at the beginning. God we wish we weren't so alone. Anyway, a superb track from Poor Moon. When MC Taylor demands, 'Let that big dumb bell of freedom ring' we can't help but look forward to those guitars. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer?

Our first time mainly involved disappointment, laughter (theirs) and lots of crying (ours). Also confusion about the number of people involved. Luckily, the first Hiss Golden Messenger tune we heard was much kinder (and gentler) towards us. A country tune of the classic variety, it mentions Jesus (of course), getting drunk (of course), shooting pool (of course) and motels. An absolute belter of a song about drinking and misery and the forlorn open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com search for redemption. 3. Sweet As John Hurt open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com We got called out for our ignorance with this tune not long back. We thought John Hurt referred to the English actor from Merlin and I, Claudius. We were - as we often are - very wrong. This sweet John Hurt was an American blues guitarist, sometimes known as Mississippi John Hurt. In a way we felt HGM should have included this in the song for clarity, but then Sweet as Mississippi John Hurt probably wouldn't have rolled off the tongue as easily. There's a reason why we don't write the songs. Or play guitars. Tennis elbow. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com 4. Red Rose Nantahala Oh, why did we drink so much whiskey! Why did we sleep with that barmaid! Why did we punch all those aggressive bikers in the face! True, we may have only ever uttered the first of those sentences, but this cracking, rocky opener to Haw allows us to imagine saying all those things. And that makes us feel all warm and cool inside. Much like whiskey. Here they are doing a live version with the wonderful Megafaun. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com 5. Cheerwine Easter Bring on the trumpets! We put this one in as it shows the band's versatility. What other band would precede a song like this with a folksy ballad and follow it with a string-laden instrumental? Not fucking U2, that's who. Or anyone else for that matter. Maybe The Rolling Stones, but only if you paid them a lot of money. A lot of money. A jazzy belter of a bastard of a tune, it's one of the many reasons why the album Haw is such a classic. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com 6. Brother Do You Know the Road? Another plaintive number here, but, if you don't like plaintive, go listen to sodding disco. Oh great, you actually went and listened to disco. A little like Jesus Shot Me in the Head, this b- side from the single Southern Grammar showcases multiple vocal talents within HGM as well as bluesy, twangy guitars. Almost as versatile as our use of adjectives. Here's another live video, with MC Taylor performing alongside Bowerbirds and Christy Smith of The Tender Fruit. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer?

Oh Little Light Although this is a track off Poor Moon, we've gone for the acoustic version from 2013's Bad Debt because it highlights just how good the group are with a stripped down, bare, acoustic sound. Also, we couldn't write the word stripped without giggling. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com 8. Pittsboro Farewell (Two Monarchs) An instrumental number, this one shows the band in all their confident, musical pomp, with celtic strings carrying the tune through, giving it a nice, whiskey-tinged fireside feel. Like getting a nice big hug while knowing it won't be long before someone comes up and punches you in the face. A bit like going to Yates's. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer?

Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com Don't worry, it won't bite. No, no, we haven't got happy in our pants again. It's Mahogany Dread, and it's a big tune with a capital (note, there wasn't actually a capital so it's expressive) b. Another one from Lateness of Dancers, we love the bluesy guitars and the poppy rhythms. And we're terrified of mahogany. And oak. But not beech. Beech is a wuss. open in browser PRO version Are you a developer? Try out the HTML to PDF API pdfcrowd.com 10. Drum For those who thought Hiss Golden Messenger couldn't end an album on a positive note. Well, it's not exactly sunshine and lollipops but it's a little perkier than on previous albums, not that we're against a moody closing number here at Festival Baby. A cracking finale to last year's (that's 2014 to those of you who can't remember) Lateness Of Dancers, there's something a little gospel-like about this one. And that's just lovely, isn't it now?

Our world has experienced unprecedented disruption since we last gathered in the spring of 2020 in our beautiful venues to witness exquisite music, dance, and theatre together. Throughout these many long and painful months of separation and isolation, I have been yearning for the time when we can be together once again. It appears that time is finally now upon us! I am absolutely thrilled to share our plans for celebrating the University of Georgia Performing Arts Center’s historic 25th anniversary season throughout the fall of 2021 and spring of 2022. Our silver anniversary season will feature a variety of acclaimed guest artists—some new to us and some returning favorites—with an equally wide variety of personal life experiences. They will come to us from across the United States and several different countries. Their experiences inform their work, and we will, for a brief moment in time, commune together as the universal languages of music, spoken word, and movement unite us in hope and healing. Not only has the world changed significantly since we first opened our doors 25 years ago, it has changed dramatically in the last year as we have endured the devastating impact of a global pandemic, social injustice, political uncertainty, and any number of other things.

Devotion: Songs About Rivers and -- Spirits and Children What struck me about Hiss Golden Messenger—and my absorption in these early records was instantaneous—is that Taylor’s songs are completely and unfailingly honest about (reissue) how stupid and frustrating it is to be a person. But then, of course, he finds magnificence anyway: “Hallelujah anyhow” is how he put it later. —Amanda Petrusich 67385506551 9 Even on his most raw and unadorned album, Bad Debt, or on his most troubled, Haw, 4LP Box Set Taylor is still striving for that next level.

  • Midland Whitney Rose the White Buffalo
    MIDLAND ON THE ROCKS BIG MACHINE Made up of singer Mark Wystrach, guitarist Jess Carson and bassist Cameron Duddy, Dripping Springs, TX trio Midland is the embodiment of ‘70s California country – all smooth Eagles harmonies and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics. Midland – named from a Dwight Yoakam song – excel in setting a mood. This is music made for wide- open skies, endless deserts and wondering where the road is going to take you next. Their full-length debut, On The Rocks, features some of the most traditional- sounding country music to come out of Nashville in a decade. Lead single “Drinkin’ Problem” evokes Gary Stewart – one of Midland’s biggest inspirations, along with Merle Haggard. “Electric Rodeo,” with its plaintive piano, sweeping strings and high-in-the-saddle chorus, is a prime example of the “picture” the band loves to paint. And the majestic “Nothin’ New Under the Neon” sounds like vintage Eddie Rabbit. Midland’s music is truly a sound decades in the making that’s just right for today. WHITNEY ROSE RULE 62 SIX SHOOTER RECORDS This is turning out to be a busy year for Whitney Rose having released an EP in January, touring widely, and recording Rule 62, her third full album. With Rule 62, Whitney Rose further develops her luscious Texas swing sound with a more assertive feel. She sings ballads with a voice that takes you right back to the 1950’s or 60’s but others are a lot more direct and reflect a young artist not at all happy with contemporary issues.

  • Duke Performances 2015/2016 Season | Music, Theater, Dance & More
    DUKE PERFORMANCES 2015/2016 SEASON | MUSIC, THEATER, DANCE & MORE. IN DURHAM, AT DUKE, ART MADE BOLDLY. DUKE PERFORMANCES HELLO & WELCOME At Duke Performances, we offer an expansive array of expertly chosen shows. We’ve traveled the globe to vet and select the artists that appear here. Starting in mid-September and running through April, we’ll present over seventy performances at a collection of venues both on campus and in town. Durham is rapidly becoming the cultural hub of the region; it’s Duke Performances’ duty to spur that development further by programming art made boldly all over the city. At Duke Performances, Durham and Duke come together — with audiences sitting elbow to elbow — to make community. A great community deserves art of the highest quality, featuring work that reflects the interests and backgrounds of its members. Thanks to stalwart financial support from private donors and the University, we’re able to bring in diverse work and price tickets as competitively as possible so that a broad portion of our community can afford to see our shows. At Duke Performances, we’re cultivating a curious and discerning audience. We encourage patrons to check out shows with which they’re not familiar, or genres that they’d not normally frequent. Beyond performances, we offer more than fifty artist-in-residence activities per season — master classes, public conversations, screenings, and lectures — and these engagements provide patrons a chance to further their knowledge and deepen their experience. I look forward to seeing you this season at Duke Performances. AARON GREENWALD EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF DUKE PERFORMANCES COVER IMAGE: BRIAN NEWBY OF RENNIE HARRIS PUREMOVEMENT, PHOTO BY BRIAN MENGINI.

    NEW RELEASE for the week of Feb. 5, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses" (SUB POP) SP1405 CD/ LP FLOCK OF DIMES "Head Of Roses (LOSER (SUB POP) SP1405LOSER LP edition-coloured vinyl)" April 2 street date. On her second full-length record, "Head of Roses", Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak) follows a winding thread of intuition into the unknown and into healing, led by gut feelings and the near-spiritual experience of visceral songwriting. The result is a combination of Wasner's ability to embrace new levels of vulnerability, honesty and openness, with the self-assuredness that comes with a decade-plus career as a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist and prolific collaborator. Simply put, "Head of Roses" is a record about heartbreak, but from a dualistic perspective. It's about the experience of having one's heart broken and breaking someone else's heart at the same time. But beyond that, it's about having to reconcile the experience of one's own pain with the understanding that it's impossible to go through life without being the source of great pain for someone else. Carefully curated and culled from the depths of Wasner's heartbreak and healing, it's deeply, intensely personal. KING GIZZARD & THE "Teenage Gizzard (pink (ORG MUSIC) ORGM2210 LP LIZARD WIZA splater on yellow transparent" April 2 street date. "Teenage Gizzard" is a compilation album featuring early recordings of King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, recorded between 2010 and 2011 in Victoria, Australia. Org Music is participating in the band's official "bootlegger" series to release the album on vinyl.

Led by musical omnivore M.C. Taylor —an M.A. graduate from the Folklore Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill — Hiss Golden Messenger is signed to Durham-based independent label Merge Records.
