  • Building Ontario's Music Economies
    Building Ontario’s Music Economies Working Paper Series: Ontario in the Creative Age Prepared by: Brian Hracs February 2009 REF. 2009-WPONT-008 Building Ontario’s Music Economies, February 2009, B Hracs Building Ontario’s Music Economies By Brian J. Hracs, University of Toronto Contact: [email protected] February 2009 Introduction The goal of this report is to demonstrate the opportunity cities in Ontario have to attract, incubate and retain musical talent at a time when the structural and spatial landscape of the global music industry is in flux. This report argues that changes to the music industry, in the wake of new digital technologies, and a declining market for recorded music is leveling the playing field for cities and allowing new locations to compete with the established centers of music production. New technologies and fragmentation have provided individual musicians greater creative and geographic freedom and weakened the power of Los Angeles and New York. Therefore, forward thinking cities within Ontario that already have clusters of music-related activity such as Toronto, Peterborough and Picton, have a window of opportunity. By acting strategically, these city-regions could not only become the new destinations for musical talent, but also grow their creative sectors and broader bases of talent as well. This report also expands on why musicians contribute to the cultural dynamism of places and serve as essential building blocks of economic and social prosperity. For example, when musicians settle in cities they generate vibrant music scenes signifying that the city in question offers attractive amenities. The presence of musicians, therefore, attracts other strands of talent, professionals, scientists and other ‘creatives’, growing the pool of talent and drawing in new businesses, jobs, innovators and consequently, sources of wealth.

  • The Sadies Northern Passages [2017 Bio] by Jason Schneider the Cover
    The Sadies Northern Passages [2017 Bio] By Jason Schneider The cover of The Sadies’ new album is a powerful image of the northern lights made by photographer David Kilabuk in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, a sight few of us will ever get to behold with our own eyes. Yet, the awe-inspiring natural beauty and mystery captured in the photo are an ideal reflection of the music contained within. No further embellishment seems necessary. That’s been the essence of The Sadies’ story ever since the quartet comprised of singer/guitarists Dallas and Travis Good, bassist Sean Dean and drummer Mike Belitsky first exploded onto the North American scene 20 years ago. Back then there was still something called “alt-country,” a catchall for artists striving to carry on traditions with punk rock attitude. The Sadies certainly fit that description, but the breadth of their skills and musical knowledge was unparalleled since a group of fellow Torontonians left Ronnie Hawkins in the mid-‘60s to take a job backing Bob Dylan. As the aurora borealis shifted with each album The Sadies made, the overall picture took on more defined colours. On top of that was the incredible list of collaborations—Neko Case, R&B legend Andre Williams, The Mekons’ Jon Langford, Jon Spencer, Robyn Hitchcock, John Doe, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Gord Downie, Neil Young for fuck’s sake!— each one pushing The Sadies’ own sound into new, unmapped territory. Eventually, more time was taken in between albums as focus shifted to their original songwriting, and what was once the best live band in Canada became the best band in Canada, period.

  • Conversations with Travis & Dallas Good of the Sadies By
    Conversations with Travis & Dallas Good of The Sadies by Frank Goodman (10/2004, Puremusic.com) This is the first time that we’ve reviewed and interviewed an act in the same issue. First of all, The Sadies are worth far more attention than that, and secondly that’s just the way it happened. You get carried away with your exuberance for the record and look down and have reviewed it, and then you run into a conversational opportunity. The Sadies are Dallas and Travis Good, both really fine guitarists, and Dallas is also fiddle adept. Sean Dean is the upright bassist, and the interview reveals him to be the co- founder of the group, originally Dallas and Sean as a duo. Mike Belitsky sings and plays drums. Not a slacker in the pack, The Sadies put on long, blistering, ardent shows. We’ve reviewed them before, and are generally way gone on this quartet. They came from punk, their familial roots are deep Canadian Country. Their dad and two uncles are The Good Brothers, just inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame. The band is also deeply into instrumental composition and performance that leans convincingly into psychedelia, surf, bluegrass, and more. Favourite Colours conjures ambiences that immediately stand the quartet out into the world class realm. Conversely, this record is the singingest of their discs so far, and we hope to hear ever more of the same, since they do the hell out of it. Their vampirical cowboy look cannot be beat, and they’re superb dour showmen.

  • Time's the Revelator
    Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music Ashley Denise Melzer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of American Studies (Folklore). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. William Ferris Dr. Robert Cantwell Dr. Patricia Sawin © 2009 Ashley Denise Melzer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY MELZER: Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music (Under the directions of Dr. William Ferris, Dr. Robert Cantwell, and Dr. Patricia Sawin) This thesis investigates the relationship between the modern old-time and alt.country movements through the comparison of four different female musicians: Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, Gillian Welch, and Neko Case. These four women often pull from the same wellspring of old-time songs/structures/sounds, but their instincts come from exceptionally different places. The disparity between the ways they approach their music, reveals how the push toward modern capitalist industrialism has affected how different artists and communities access and transmit those old-world icons and sounds. Furthermore, their engagement specifically with the topic of gender exposes key tactical differences. Old-time musicians, Washburn and Gellert, work within the strictures of tradition so as to remain in dialogue with their community. Welch and Case play into the experimental bent of alt.country to emotionally affect listeners in order to create discreet, personal connections between themselves and their audience. iii To the ones who listen and love me anyway iv PREFACE In the summer, Florida is so hot the home becomes some dark prison of necessary air conditioning.
