The Folk Project March 2019 The Folk Project March 2019 www.FolkProject.org TM Cliff Eberhardt & Betsy Rose A House Concert & Musical Celebration Cliff Eberhardt is more than a fabulous and nationally-important performer. He’s a special man with a special interest in the folk music community in general and The Folk Project in particular. Cliff sees us—you, our little local culture core—as crystallizing the greatness of what happens when good people come together to make music together. You can join Cliff, performing with Louise Mosrie, to celebrate and support us—you, our Folk Project—on Saturday, March 2nd, at 7:30pm at the home of Mark & Robin Schaffer in Rockaway, NJ. Your $25 admission will support the new and improved Acoustic Getaway. Cliff’s pitching in. How about you? Betsy Rose is a monument to what one woman can do with a golden voice, a good song, and a brass attitude. Betsy’s blues are direct and devastating. Survivors are smitten for life. Her backup band, The Chicago Fire, are ace musicians who serve her every whim. There will be an after-concert party. Bring an instrument, your voice, and food to share. For tickets and information, visit the carousel on the Folk Project home page or call Mark at 201/207-8696. You Can Still Getaway! Getaway’s new adult site instigated an unprecedented initial registration avalanche—83% full in four days—so we are opening our doors a little wider by adding more beds for more Folk Project members. Due to the miracles of modern math, we’re merely 71% full in four days. Significant Takeaways: The new site has Project members excited. The Getaway-curious are finally taking the short step to the registration button. And musicians with non-musician partners have found a romantic weekend away they both can share. There is a nationally-honored “mini-Tanglewood” in your own backyard, but with 1/10th the people at 1/10th the price, Don’t overlook it. $249 pays for all the food, lodging, community and music you want. Go to getaway.folkproject.org and click the registration button. It’s a small step for a man and a giant leap for your weekend of pleasure.

  • 1 a Conversation with Laura Cantrell by Frank Goodman
    A Conversation with Laura Cantrell by Frank Goodman (8/2005, Puremusic.com) I am more accustomed to writing about Country singers or songwriters who have come from New York City to live in Nashville. Laura Cantrell is singular in many ways, but certainly in the respect that she was born in Nashville and is a great Country singer living for quite a few years in or around New York City. For more than a decade she has piloted the popular radio show Radio Thrift Shop (on WFMU in Jersey City, 12-3 p.m. on Saturdays, 91.1 on your dial or RealAudio streaming at www.wfmu.org). Her superior abilities as a song finder are well demonstrated here, as they always are on her recordings. (On the new CD, Laura cut a vintage Lucinda Williams song called “Letters” that a friend had on a tape of from the 70s. On the downloads section of her site there’s a smokin’ version of it live from McCabe’s in Santa Monica, with Jimmy Ryan on mandolin, Mark Spencer on guitar, and Jeremy Chatzky on bass.) There is a double-edged quality to her singing style that has moved many others the way that it instantly affected me. It’s been described as both passionate and businesslike, or vulnerable and determined, which is how it struck me. Alluring, and yet aloof. But she’s turned on the tea baggers and the Yanks alike. The late BBC radio icon John Peel was a huge supporter of hers, and called her CD Not the Tremblin’ Kind “My favourite record of the last ten years, and possibly my life…” His countryman Elvis Costello asked Laura personally to open 17 dates on his tour, and contributed a blockbuster quote of his own: “If Kitty Wells made Rubber Soul, it would sound like Laura Cantrell.” And there you have it folks, as the artist is known to say at the end of her radio shows… Laura Cantrell’s partner in crime is her husband Jeremy Tepper, the founder of Diesel Only Records, her original label before she leapt to Matador on her new disc Humming By The Flowered Vine.

  • A Conversation with Happy Traum by Frank Goodman (11/2006, Puremusic.Com) for Almost 40 Years, Homespun Tapes (They've Been Arou
    A Conversation with Happy Traum by Frank Goodman (11/2006, Puremusic.com) For almost 40 years, Homespun Tapes (they've been around so long, they're outgrowing their name!) has been recording and manufacturing instructional videos for learning every musical instrument under the sun. We counted over 250 artists alone that are represented by the ever-expanding Homespun catalog, and many of them have a number of titles. (Nashville fingerstyle wonder Pete Huttlinger, for instance, has eleven!) The company was founded by Happy Traum and his wife, Jane, and they still pilot the ship together. Happy had a popular and very good folk rock duo with his brother Artie (Happy and Artie Traum) that were associated with Dylan, The Band, and the Woodstock, NY, community where Homespun is still based. Artie is still a fine solo artist and clinician for Taylor Guitars, we have reviewed him in these pages. After a long recording hiatus, Happy has just released a solo record called I Walk The Road Again, which Artie played some tracks on and produced. It also features the talents of John Sebastian, Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, and many bright lights of the Woodstock scene, including Leslie Ritter and Scott Petito. In our usual style, we have included some audio clips from that record on the Listen page for your perusal. VHS and DVD recordings are such a helpful tool when you're trying to get into an instrument or style that, after we formed a desire to review the new Tony Rice Master Class DVD, we decided to review a Homespun video every issue for a while, and help acquaint or encourage the uninitiated with this great way to plunge into new instrumental or vocal territory.
