Recognized for his sharp wit and poetic sensibility, he has been called “a rare breed” by the Austin Chronicle--a musician’s musician who is respected for his highly original writing and loved for his captivating performances. Since the release of his Red House debut Instead the Forest Rose to Sing, he has emerged from the underground music scene to become one of America’s most significant songwriters. The album garnered rave reviews and charted for months on folk and Americana radio, making No Depression’s “Best of 2009” list and becoming the #2 most played folk album that year. Now, with the release of his new album, Danny confirms that he is “one of the great singer- songwriters of his generation” (Heaven Magazine). On Man of Many Moons, Danny returns to a purely acoustic sound, bringing us an album that is truly stripped down to the songs themselves. “The vision for the production was to try and allow the songs the breath and space to remain simple and intimate,” he says. “It’s, for the most part, me and my guitar and the songs.

  • Refrain, Again: the Return of the Villanelle
    Refrain, Again: The Return of the Villanelle Amanda Lowry French Charlottesville, VA B.A., University of Colorado at Boulder, 1992, cum laude M.A., Concentration in Women's Studies, University of Virginia, 1995 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Virginia August 2004 ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ___________________________________ ABSTRACT Poets and scholars are all wrong about the villanelle. While most reference texts teach that the villanelle's nineteen-line alternating-refrain form was codified in the Renaissance, the scholar Julie Kane has conclusively shown that Jean Passerat's "Villanelle" ("J'ay perdu ma Tourterelle"), written in 1574 and first published in 1606, is the only Renaissance example of this form. My own research has discovered that the nineteenth-century "revival" of the villanelle stems from an 1844 treatise by a little- known French Romantic poet-critic named Wilhelm Ténint. My study traces the villanelle first from its highly mythologized origin in the humanism of Renaissance France to its deployment in French post-Romantic and English Parnassian and Decadent verse, then from its bare survival in the period of high modernism to its minor revival by mid-century modernists, concluding with its prominence in the polyvocal culture wars of Anglophone poetry ever since Elizabeth Bishop’s "One Art" (1976). The villanelle might justly be called the only fixed form of contemporary invention in English; contemporary poets may be attracted to the form because it connotes tradition without bearing the burden of tradition. Poets and scholars have neither wanted nor needed to know that the villanelle is not an archaic, foreign form.

Troubadour Concerts Resume Friday We’re Back in the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship on Sept. 3 After 18 months of hiatus, the lights will be back on at the Troubadour Acoustic Concert series, resuming an otherwise almost continuous 47-year history of presenting concerts and Open stages. It will be a welcome event for the whole crew of the Troubadour as well as the throngs who will attend the opening concert with Mike Agranoff and the Annie Donahue Trio on September 3. It will largely be a continuation of our pre-COVID operation, but there will be some changes. In recogni- tion of the tail end of the Pandemic, we will be requiring the wearing of face coverings inside the building. And to further ensure everyone’s safety, we will be limiting attendance to only those who have been fully vaccinated. We will be checking proof of vaccination at the door. (Please don’t assume this is only a formality. No proof, no admission.) These restrictions will be amended over time as COVID conditions and the directives of medical authorities change. There will be some positive changes as well. We will also be resuming live-streaming our con- certs that ended with the demise of Concert Window in September of 2019.
