Hope for a Goldensummer

Since we’re gearing up for a live performance by Athens GA’s “Hope for a Goldensummer” on Friday, April 29th @ Barking Legs Theater in Chattanooga I’ve decided to post a few exquisite cuts from their current Album “Hours in the Attic” that contains 18 songs which were all recorded live at their concerts over the last year or so.  You can listen to to these streaming audio files here and then  see  Hope for a Goldensummer live along with Oakland CA’s Zoe Boekbinder and Chattanooga vocal phenom Alex Thompson.   An online press release for this show with links to all three artists’ websites and more of their online music, videos and info is right here.

Davey MacManus of the Crimea gives ArtFRONT this preview podcast for the 2009 album Listen To Seashells, They Know Everything and his upcoming U.S. solo tour.

Davey MacManus front man of well-known-in-the-U.K. band The Crimea, gives ArtFRONT this preview podcast for the 2009 album Listen To Seashells, They Know Everything .

Of all the new material I’ve been hearing since last fall this music sticks with me and plays in my head as much as anything I’ve heard. These unmastered songs appear on the new full length album.

As of May 2011, Davey has announced there will be a vinyl double album set containing these and other songs from The Crimea available this fall in the U.K.   Check back for more info on this ongoing project.

the everybodyfields recorded live in December of 2005

Six songs including a couple of  surprising holiday numbers featuring  sparkling harmonies by Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews highlighted by the understated dobro flourishes of  David Richey.  A rare treat from the era which defined the original sound and style of Johnson City Tennessee’s “almost supergroup.”

This is a live recording accompanying the ArtFRONT Presentations coverage of The Green Man Festival at Glanusk Estate near Brecon Wales in August 2007.

Joanna Newsom’s performance was one of the most spectacular of the event. This recording was made almost by accident with a tiny digital voice recorder that was never meant for music, but the excellent sound quality at the festival coupled with the hush that befell the audience as they were mesmerized by this performance makes it well worth listening. Two songs by Joanna Newsom including “The Book of Right On” are featured here.
