Last year’s Hope for Agoldensummer’s April show @ Barking Legs Theater in Chattanooga, TN turned out to be the week of one of the most devastating Tornado outbreaks in memorable history but the show still went on! If You missed the band that weekend due to the chaos, lack of power at your house or worse, they will return on Sunday April 15th 2012 along with HuDost and dance performer Lacy Jo. You can read all about this show HERE. ~R.*

Great fortune has it that this spring’s Hope for Agoldensummer performance coincides with the release of their most impressive studio album to date. ”Life Inside The Body.” You can listen to these selected streaming audio files here and then see Hope for a Goldensummer live along with Ontario’s Americana & World Music duo HuDost who will be collaborating on dance numbers with Chattanooga’s own Lacy Jo of Zanzibar studios Tribal fusion bellydance.

Robin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:12:18 +0000

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 holiday special, live in WUTC 88.1’s studio

Robin — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 08:55:19 +0000

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.”

Joanna Newsom at the Green Man Festival

Robin — Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:18:14 +0000

This is a live recording accompanying the ArtFRONT Presentations coverage of The Green Man Festival at Glanusk Estate near Brecon Wales in August 2007. You can read the Full Article once it’s completed by visiting www.ArtFRONT.com/GreenManFestival.htm (*NOTE this web-page/article is about 90% finished as of Nov. 20th. There are still some rough spots so please check back if You see this before the article is complete.)

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.

Bits and Pieces by Jane Weaver

Robin — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 18:06:54 +0000

Featured is the lovely Jane Weaver’s “Bits and Pieces” perhaps her most “raw” recording available to date.
