    RED HOUSE RECORDS Publicity Contact: Ellen Stanley • [email protected] • (651) 644-4161 DANNY SCHMIDT man of many moons RHR-CD-232 • Release Date: February 8, 2011 _________ “Danny Schmidt is a force of nature: a blue moon, a hundred-year flood, an avalanche of a singer-songwriter.” - Sing Out! “idiosyncratic, meticulously constructed songs...infused with intellect and quirkiness.” - New Yorker _________ Red House Records is pleased to announce the February 8, 2011 release of Man of Many Moons, the new album from Austin folksinger Danny Schmidt. 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.

  • Genre Bending Narrative, VALHALLA Tells the Tale of One Man’S Search for Satisfaction, Understanding, and Love in Some of the Deepest Snows on Earth
    62 Years The last time Ken Brower traveled down the Yampa River in Northwest Colorado was with his father, David Brower, in 1952. This was the year his father became the first executive director of the Sierra Club and joined the fight against a pair of proposed dams on the Green River in Northwest Colorado. The dams would have flooded the canyons of the Green and its tributary, Yampa, inundating the heart of Dinosaur National Monument. With a conservation campaign that included a book, magazine articles, a film, a traveling slideshow, grassroots organizing, river trips and lobbying, David Brower and the Sierra Club ultimately won the fight ushering in a period many consider the dawn of modern environmentalism. 62 years later, Ken revisited the Yampa & Green Rivers to reflect on his father's work, their 1952 river trip, and how we will confront the looming water crisis in the American West. 9 Minutes. Filmmaker: Logan Bockrath 2010 Brower Youth Awards Six beautiful films highlight the activism of The Earth Island Institute’s 2011 Brower Youth Award winners, today’s most visionary and strategic young environmentalists. Meet Girl Scouts Rhiannon Tomtishen and Madison Vorva, 15 and 16, who are winning their fight to green Girl Scout cookies; Victor Davila, 17, who is teaching environmental education through skateboarding; Alex Epstein and Tania Pulido, 20 and 21, who bring urban communities together through gardening; Junior Walk, 21 who is challenging the coal industry in his own community, and Kyle Thiermann, 21, whose surf videos have created millions of dollars in environmentally responsible investments.

    ROB STONE &THE C•NOTES CONTACT: (312) 371 -5179 EMAIL: [email protected] www.robstone.com MANAGEMENT: Michael Frank AT Earwig Music Company TEL: (773)262-0278 EMAIL: [email protected] www.earwigmusic.com A LIVE PERFORMANCE BY ROB STONE CAN TRANSPORT THE LISTENER BACK TO THE HEYDAY OF CHICAGO BLUES. Fronted by Harp-playing vocalist ROB STONE and held together by a rock-solid rhythm section, the group is comprised of seasoned professionals with well over half a century of combined blues playing experience. They’ve paid their dues in the smoky Chicago blues joints and toured coast to coast across North America and Europe, as well as the Hawaiian islands and Japan, playing countless blues festivals, club dates and television appearances. Separately, the members of the group have recorded for the respected Alligator, Evidence, Hightone, Ice House, Marquis, Appaloosa and Magnum blues labels, and received national recognition in countless blues publications. These musicians have performed with and learned from many of the greats...and it shows from the first note. They are all authentic showmen with pure abil- ity to tear up a stage, as evidenced by their prominent role in the recent Martin Scorsese-produced “Godfathers and Sons” episode of The Blues series that aired recently on PBS stations natiowide. Together they now have a brand new release on Chicago’s Earwig label. As a vocalist Rob Stone is powerful, yet relaxed and natural; as a harmonica player he evokes the sounds of greats like Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson and Walter Horton. This band navigates their way effortlessly through one lean arrangement after another, from a soulful slow blues to a ferocious, driving slide guitar workout recalling past greats like Elmore James, Earl Hooker, and Muddy Waters, as well as all the blues harp legends from the hey- day of Chicago blues.

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.
