SUMMARY:A JOHNNYSWIM Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 6:30 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. \nVIP Package to include Meet & Greet\, Photo Opportunity\, one (1) official merchandise item\, and early-entry (45 minutes pre-doors) \nTickets available at TICKETMASTER.COM\, or by phone at 800-745-3000. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \nThere are approximately 2\,000 miles between Nashville and Los Angeles. Both cities are home to JOHNNYSWIM. However\, the duo’s music far transcends that distance. It’s easy to understand why A Prairie Home Companion declared that Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano Ramirez are “21st century troubadours.” As JOHNNYSWIM\, they embody the tradition of the well-traveled singer-songwriter while cultivating a modern style that’s uniquely their own.  \nHeart Beats\, the duo’s debut for Big Picnic Records\, is the culmination of years spent shaping what Vogue calls an “infectious sound.” Of the 200-plus acts who performed at the 2013 Bonnaroo festival\, only JOHNNYSWIM could naturally conjure elements of rock\, blues\, boleros\, folk\, and contemporary R&B in their music. With just a guitar and the scintillating contrast of their voices\, the duo holds audiences spellbound. They are storytellers who create a sense of intimacy between them and the listener\, whether performing on The Today Show\, singing 333 feet underground in Tennessee’s Cumberland Caverns\, or illuminating the stage at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London. Their songs are shaped by universal truths. “It starts with a feeling we hope the listener will get when they hear the song\,” explains Abner about their songwriting process. “Sometimes it starts with a lyric\, sometimes with a chord progression\, or sometimes even with a picture\, but ultimately we start with an emotion.”  \nAbner and Amanda formed JOHNNYSWIM in Music City\, USA. The son of immigrants who fled Cuba for the southeast\, Abner had moved to Nashville to study and pursue music while Amanda’s family settled in Nashville after moving between Los Angeles and the northeast. Both inherited strong musical influences from their parents and both were driven by a desire to chart their own path in music. Abner attempted a solo career with a record label and Amanda had done some recording in New York but neither course was creatively satisfying. And then they met each other in 2005.  \nFueled by Nashville’s fervent music scene\, the two began writing songs that drew from and augmented each other’s musical strengths. “Nashville was our incubator\,” says Amanda. “It was a creative cocoon that allowed us to get out whatever was in us without the need to be ‘successful.’ It developed us in the best way. In Nashville\, I met so many amazing musicians who could care less if anyone ever knew their name. They loved music and that was that. It was so refreshing.” Adopting the name JOHNNYSWIM\, the duo self-released their debut EP 1-4 in 2008. A year later\, Abner and Amanda got married and relocated to Los Angeles.  \nTheir move to the west coast spawned another EP 5-8 (2010) along with the release of the “Bonsoir” / “Good News” single. They began to tour the U.S. and completed residences at Hotel Café in Los Angeles and Rockwood Music Hall in New York. Inspired by a whole new community of songwriters and musicians\, JOHNNYSWIM began working on their third EP. Ironically\, the first country song they ever wrote was penned in LA rather than Nashville. Long a staple of their live set\, the tune became the title track of Home\, Vol. 1 (2012). With a striking visual style complementing the raw yet soulful edge of their music\, JOHNNYSWIM found fans in the fashion industry and were invited to perform at events for Levi’s\, Louis Vuitton\, and Tommy Hilfiger. Their videos for “Bonsoir” and “Annie” evinced the emotional thrust of their music and revealed how well their magnetizing stage presence translated to the screen.  \nIn between touring and recording\, the duo teamed up with non-profit organizations like Visiting Orphans and Got Your Back Movement\, whose charitable efforts serve a number of communities around the world. Abner and Amanda explain\, “Humanitarian work was something we both have done separately for years\, so when we met and started singing together it came really naturally to look for places where we could serve. It’s as important to us as anything else we do\, and we’ve found that if you’re willing to go\, willing to serve\, willing to give\, the opportunities to do so will arise. The cliché is 100% true: you always come home having received so much more than you feel like you gave.” That spirit of giving has inspired some of JOHNNYSWIM’s most compelling compositions\, including the rousing\, inspirational “Hallelujah.” The duo donates each sale of the song to Visiting Orphans.  \nCourted by a number of record labels\, JOHNNYSWIM signed with Sony/RED-distributed Big Picnic Records in 2013. The partnership was struck at the end of a hugely prolific period for the duo that included starring roles in a Nashville production of Smokey Joe’s Café and a spot on the Old Crow Medicine Show’s sold-out tour of the U.K. Since then\, they’ve performed at MTV’s 2013 O Music Awards in Times Square while their songs have appeared in episodes of VH1’s Mob Wives and Black Ink Crew.  \nAbove all\, the love of writing\, recording\, and performing informs each new JOHNNYSWIM project. Largely recorded and produced at their home\, Heart Beats exhibits the duo’s ever-expanding stylistic range. Issued as a single and video\, the self-penned title track is accompanied by Abner and Amanda’s collaborations with fellow Nashville/LA transplants Josiah Bell and Britten Newbill. Co-written and co-produced with Bell\, “Don’t Let It Get You Down” exemplifies JOHNNYSWIM’s ability to render anthem-like melodies that immediately hook and bring audiences to their feet. “Nashvillians love good songs\,” says Amanda\, and Heart Beats is certainly full of them. Slating their first full-length album for 2014\, the duo has many more stories to share. No matter what JOHNNYSWIM writes or where they perform\, the excellence of their craft infuses every note.

SUMMARY:Deerhunter
DESCRIPTION:Doors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. \nTickets available at TICKETMASTER.COM\, or by phone at 800-745-3000. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \nFrom Atlanta\, Georgia\, the origins of Deerhunter can be traced back to when frontman Bradford Cox first met guitarist Lockett Pundt at high school. Years later Bradford met Moses Archuleta and started jamming together. Other contributors to Deerhunter since its establishment in 2001 include Josh Fauver\, Colin Mee and Whitney Petty. The current incarnation consists of Cox\, Pundt and Archuleta plus bassist Josh Mckay and guitarist Frankie Broyles. \nDeerhunter’s first album was a lo-fi experiment not initially intended for the wider world\, but appeared in 2005 on a local Atlanta label\, Stickfigure. Although officially untitled\, it has since become known as Turn It Up\, Faggot; a phrase that doesn’t actually appear on the sleeve but is an insult that Cox claimed was often thrown at the band during their early gigs. Their next album\, Cryptograms (2006)\, was generally considered to be their real debut and as such things started to get serious for the band. They had moved to fêted Chicago indie\, Kranky (Godspeed You! Black Emperor\, Low\, Stars Of The Lid)\, and the world outside was starting to pay attention. \nThen in mid-2008\, Deerhunter and Kranky signed a deal with 4AD\, allowing them to finally release music outside the US and the band’s next move was to prove epic in more than just musical terms.?? Recorded over the course of a week at the Rare Book Studios in Brooklyn\, NY\, the Can and Wire-inspired Microcastle (2008) was to propel them to further heights. However\, the album leaked four months before release\, leading the band back to the studio to record Weird Era Cont.\, an album in its own right added as a bonus disc to make Microcastle a 25-track colossus. Not content with such prolificacy\, the band announced a new five track EP\, Rainwater Cassette Exchange\, in 2009 and that its release would coincide with the band’s extensive European\, Japanese and Australian tour in May and June.?? \nDisplaying few signs of slowing down\, Halcyon Digest\, the band’s fourth studio album was released in September 2010. Remaining in their native Georgia to piece together the album\, Halcyon Digest took just a few weeks to complete. The recording sessions took place at Chase Park Transduction in Athens with Ben H. Allen helping to co-produce the album\, while final track\, ‘He Would Have Laughed’\, was recorded separately by Bradford Cox at NOTOWN SOUND in Marietta. To announce the release\, the band fully embraced the DIY mindset of their New Wave heroes from the 70’s and 80’s with a Cox-designed\, cut-and-paste Xeroxed flyer. It’s with these kind of approaches that Deerhunter continue to widen their sphere of influence and impress with each subsequent release. \nAfter a brief hiatus\, during which time Bradford Cox and Lockett Pundt released their own albums as Atlas Sound and Lotus Plaza respectively\, a new Deerhunter line-up (with additions of bassist Josh Mckay and guitarist Frankie Broyles) reconvened in January 2013 at Rare Book Studio in Brooklyn\, New York. Produced by Nicholas Vernhes and Bradford Cox and recorded in the dead of night\, Deerhunter’s new longplayer Monomania will be released in May. Monomania finds the group recalling its scrappy punk aesthetic; a perfect nocturnal garage rock album full of the layered and hazy vintage guitar sounds that define them.

SUMMARY:The Front Bottoms
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is all ages. \n*** \nWhat can we say about The Front Bottoms? We know we love them: a punk band that uses acoustic guitar\, indie-rock dance grooves\, Springsteen-y keyboard lines (this they might deny). It’s hook-filled… it’s anthemic… it’s confessional. Maybe Joni Mitchell by way of Green Day? They must have heard some Replacements along the way\, and it seems like what Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers did for the Boston suburbs these guys are doing for Bergen County\, NJ. But they still leave us scratching our heads. Just what the hell have the Front Bottoms alchemized? \n“We like to keep it familiar so that it’s not too intimidating\,” says singer-guitarist Brian Sella\, “but we always make sure it’s not immediately recognizable.” It’s true\, you just can’t quite put your finger on ‘em but Bar/None Records invites you to try to peg these guys with the release of their self-titled debut The Front Bottoms. \nBrian Sella and drummer-bullhornist Mathew Uychich have known each other since they were 10 and 8 years old respectively and have been making music for a lot of that time. It shows in the rich hooks and clever rhythms and the effortless way they string riffs together into surprising song structures. Take a song like “Maps” – it opens with half a Sex Pistols riff before going into an orchestral flourish on keyboards. Then there’s a verse complete with a hillbilly hiccup in the vocal followed by an arpeggio guitar part and full-on raging synthetic strings that lurch into handclaps and an enigmatic chorus “one day you’ll be washing yourself with hand soap in a public bathroom\,” And that’s in the first minute and a half of the song. \nLyrically Brian Sella fires off scattershot images that the listener can gather up and make sense of like working puzzle pieces on the floor. Romance\, freedom\, paranoia\, partying and somehow getting clean all tumble together from song to song. \n“I’m swinging like a fist fight concrete colored basement all right\, let’s keep this as clean as clean as you like” (“Looking Like You Just Woke Up”) \n“I’m a creature of a culture I created/ I’m the last one on the dance floor as the chandelier gives way and I am permanently preoccupied with your past.” (“Swimming Pool”) \n“A lot of the kids we graduated with are homeless which puts them in shady situations with shady people….” (Flashlight”) \nIn “The Beers\,” the narrator surveys said beverage “in coffee mugs\, water bottles and soda cups” in the cinematic residue of a basement party. He recalls beefing up for a Jersey Shore summer of steroids “because you like a man with muscles and I like you.” In “Father\,” the narrator dreams about beating his father with a baseball bat then tries to find solace in his girlfriend’s bed before musing about his ancestral bloodline\, “You look good tonight\, girlfriend. Can I sleep in your bed? / And when I crawl out in the morning can I stay inside your head? Cause you were high school and I was just more like real life…”Matt and Brian started out playing a couple times a year for high school talent shows\, learning a cover song and writing a crappy original each time. “I think we did Modest Mouse ‘Out of Gas’ one year and Green Day ‘Hitchin a Ride’ another year\,” recalls Brian. This led to Brian’s mom presenting him with three hours of professional recording studio time for Christmas one year. “We went in and the guy showed us how to set up. He pressed ‘record’ and left the room. We recorded 12 songs without stopping.” And thus with enough original songs to play a full set\, the Front Bottoms were officially born. Their first club date was an all-ages show at the Main Stage in Pompton Lakes\, NJ. Most of the bands were teen punk bands. Casey Lee Morgan who was doing sound at the club befriended them\, giving them some faint praise\, telling them like they might not be very good but they were better than all the other bands that night. Eventually\, Casey would record them in his basement studio. Much of the music on the Front Bottoms debut was recorded by Casey. \nThe Front Bottoms bounced around Bergen County\, eventually branching out making connections in the DIY concert community that has included everything from punk flop houses\, VFW halls and fire stations. That circuit got them from New England to Florida\, starting in a Ford Escort eventually moving up to an 1989 Econoline van. Mathew’s brother (also named Brian) played keyboards for a while but left amicably after an onstage fistfight and the realization he preferred staying home making pot roasts to playing far flung punk squats. The image of “washing yourself with hand soap in a public bathroom” is the blessing and curse of the freedom and funkiness of life on the lo-fi road. More recently\, Drew Villafuerte has been sitting in on bass and keyboards for select shows. \nWith the wonders of the internet and their obsessive gigging\, they are now known from New Jersey to…Spain (?) where director Pablo Nieto found them online and asked to create a video for “Maps.” The video features Williamsburg\, a farm (where Mathew sometimes works)\, and that aforementioned Econoline as well as some “loveable” hand puppets. Word of mouth and great reviews has them fielding calls from promoters all over the tri-state area. \nNew Jersey’s The Star-Ledger called them “one of the leading lights of the New Jersey pop underground. The group’s amalgam of punk\, guitar-folk\, lo-fi experimentalism\, imagist-inspired poetry (drawing heavily on Sella’s upbringing in the Jersey suburbs) and playful humor (that betrays the singer’s youth) has caught discriminating ears on both sides of the Hudson.” \nThey’ve played Bamboozle\, opened for artists as varied as pop chanteuse Vanessa Carlton and Jersey cohorts Titus Andronicus. \n“We kinda thought we were a punk band but then we’d play on bills with real punk bands and we’d be like ‘Whoa\, were not punks\,” says Mathew. “What the hell are we?” \nWe can’t wait to find out the convoluted answer to that question.

SUMMARY:Okkervil River
DESCRIPTION:An Evening with Okkervil River – Performing Black Sheep Boy \nDoors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Show moved from The Sinclair to Royale. All tickets honored. \nTickets available at TICKETMASTER.COM\, or by phone at 800-745-3000. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \nThe Silver Gymnasium takes place in 1986 in the small town of Meriden\, NH. \nOkkervil River bandleader Will Sheff grew up in this isolated hamlet of fewer than 500 residents. His parents taught at a boarding school there. But when he went away to college\, his father accepted a new job in Worcester\, MA. Will had no reason to return to Meriden again\, yet it held sway over his imagination. “Meriden was always a special place\,” he acknowledges. “Because it was locked away in my memory\, I began to romanticize it.” The more he saw of the world\, the more Meriden\, NH seemed like someplace he’d conjured in his head. \nThat overlap between the ordinary and the otherworldly resonates throughout these eleven new songs. Referring to how an emerging adolescent consciousness reconciles the familiar with the unexpected\, Sheff likens the spirit of The Silver Gymnasium to “an action figure you found in the woods… New Hampshire is the woods\, the ’80s is the action figure\, but neither of them is interesting to me on their own; it’s the way they go together.” \nOther years and locations appear throughout the lyrics\, but the action always circles back to the mid-1980s and Meriden\, NH\, and a young man with one foot still in childhood\, yet also aware of mysterious changes underway. “When I talk on the record about my adult life or I’m looking back on my time in Texas\, that’s all through the prism of remembering that starting point. This is a lot more straight-up autobiography and how that period relates to how I feel in my life now.” \nReferences to Atari video games\, VCR machines\, cassette tapes and the films and television shows of that era underscore how pop culture shaped – and disoriented – Sheff and his childhood friends. What secrets were encoded in the laser beams\, novelty haircuts\, crazy sunglasses and synthesizer riffs that crept into Meriden via radio and MTV? “Picture a country kid with very little knowledge of anything outside of his small town\, getting these transmissions from some glamorous other planet.”\nSheff enlisted producer John Agnello\, who worked on ’80s pop staples including Cyndi Lauper’s ‘She’s So Unusual\,’ John Mellencamp’s ‘Uh-Huh\,’ the Outfield’s “Your Love\,” and Scandal’s “The Warrior\,” to evoke the era’s spirit. “I loved that he came up on all these records that I was listening to when I was a kid. He’s an old school producer who listens to songs\, helps with structures\, and sees the entire project.” Agnello’s credits also include Sonic Youth\, Dinosaur Jr.\, and recent releases by The Thermals and Kurt Vile. \nThere were other influences\, too. In keeping with the mid-’80s mindset\, Sheff drew inspiration from the challenges faced by seasoned singer-songwriters like Jackson Browne and Tom Petty as the MTV era unfolded\, and how their new work integrated synthesizers and more succinct song structures. He also looked to young adult books where youthful protagonists map uncharted terrain without adult interference: ‘Danny\, The Champion of the World’ by Roald Dahl; ‘My Side of the Mountain’ by Jean Craighead George; ‘Lizard Music’ by Daniel Pinkwater. The map of Meriden featured in the artwork is deliberately drawn from a child’s eye view. \nFrom the jaunty piano opening of “It Was My Season\,” to the sing-along choruses of “Down Down the Deep River” and “All The Time Every Day\,” joie de vivre permeates The Silver Gymnasium -even in more reflective moments like “Lido Pier Suicide Car.” Messages of encouragement and reassurance crop up repeatedly. From its inception\, Sheff imagined this as an album that might live in your car’s tape deck for years\, the cassette art fading slowly from sun damage. “I wanted to make a record that was friendly\, sweet and compassionate\, and made people feel good when they heard it\,” he explains. Friendship\, rather than romantic love\, lies at the heart of nearly all the record’s relationships. \nAlthough The Silver Gymnasium is Okkervil River’s seventh studio full-length\, the idea for this album has been percolating in Sheff’s head for years. He even created a hypertext fiction website populated with characters and places from Meriden while in college. “I was fully aware this was something I was going to do… eventually.” Once he finally started\, the melodies and words flowed forth quickly\, with minimal fuss. The recording\, which was done in Brooklyn\, NY and Austin\, TX over a period of “a month and change\,” felt equally untroubled. \n“Other musicians and old friends would come visit me in the studio and say\, ‘I can’t believe how calm you seem.’ But it’s true\, I felt very level-headed the whole time.” Making The Silver Gymnasium was one of the least stressful episodes of Sheff’s creative life – and yielded Okkervil River’s finest work to date. “When things flow out easily\, that’s often a good sign. Making ‘Black Sheep Boy’ was like that\, too\, but this is our best record. It’s certainly the one I like the most.” \nAnd you don’t have to be from New England or born in the twentieth century to appreciate it. “I’m not standing on top of the mountain\, screaming that my childhood was special and everyone should pay attention to it\,” Sheff concludes. That’s not the point at all. “I am a firm believer that if you make your work very honest and personal\, then it’s going to be meaningful to people who aren’t like you but have feelings like yours.”

SUMMARY:The Ballroom Thieves
DESCRIPTION:Newport Folk presents. \nDoors: 7:30 pm / Show: 8:30 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. \nTickets available at TICKETMASTER.COM\, or by phone at 800-745-3000. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \nIn this increasingly virtual world of ours\, what makes music authentic? For some\, songs are no more than tiny sentimental decompressions. But others treat music as an extension of their roots\, a mirror of their travels and relationships\, and a testament to both their craft and passion. \nFor The Ballroom Thieves\, the band’s journey has only just begun\, but their roots already run quite deep. Now\, on A Wolf in the Doorway the Thieves find themselves taking the very idea of “roots” and creating ways to make its associated sound progress\, while making its encompassing spirit glow.\nStylistically\, the trio finds a captivating mélange of acoustic styles\, blending folk conventions with modern hymnals\, delta blues grit with rich harmonies\, exploring the basic constructions of pop music while almost wholeheartedly rejecting its restrictions at the same time. \n“Our own personal growth and explorations in songwriting and musicianship caused us to end up in this unique spot where we can generally feel free to be who we are at all times\, which is sadly not a luxury enjoyed by all\,” says guitarist Martin Earley. “I think we have a certain sound at the moment\, but that sound is constantly evolving\, and I hope it keeps doing that.” \nPerhaps it is a blessing\, but the band has a certain awareness and interest in all of its surroundings that equates to a form of musical intelligence. See them live and this becomes tremendously clear. They are a product of their community. They wager it all with every song and every performance. They study those with whom they share the stage. They feed off of the spirit of their audience. They grow from each other. \n“This was a huge transition year for us in that regard and I think we are stronger than ever\,” says percussionist Devin Mauch. “When money is tough\, the road is snow covered\, ticket sales aren’t ideal\, food is repetitive\, or relationships back home are struggling\, that’s when you have to be able to turn to your two bandmates and relate to one another on a higher level than others can really understand. We’ve become a pretty solid and supportive unit\, so I think we’ve armed ourselves to take on just about anything.” \nA year of transition it was\, but with new challenges came fresh inspiration. Cellist Calin Peters joined the band in September of 2013\, after Mauch and Earley had been playing with a different cellist for almost two years. Peters’ immersion into the Thieves was almost freakishly natural\, with the band soon after discovering ways to add additional brawn to their sound. For Earley\, this meant falling slightly in love with an old Gretsch hollow body and spending countless hours studying its sound\, experimenting with different ways to make it sing. For Peters\, transitioning into a vocalist was a baptism by fire\, but as a performer\, the ultimate growing experience. \n“I was terrified to try singing lead\, although I always loved creating harmonies\,” she says. “For a while\, even knowing I’d have to sing alone into a mic during soundcheck sent me into a day long panic about that one short\, unimportant moment. But the most frustrating and challenging times for this band are also the most rewarding.” \nThe band is now equipped with twelve new originals that make up their first full-length album\, A Wolf in the Doorway. The work as a whole reflects the new dynamic\, and the excitement that managed to pull all of these songs together in a matter of months.\nHarmonies take shotgun on the record\, lending splendid crescendos to songs like “Saint Monica” and “Lantern\,” raising them from a rather subdued nature and enriching their lyrical sentiments. Peters’ lead vocals on “Bury Me Smiling” are a standout on the album\, stirring in fragile melodies and a change of pace to the record. Earley’s lead vocals at times climax to throaty wails on more gravelly tunes like “Oars to the Sea” or the final track\, “Wolf.” And the backbone for such experimentation comes from the distinct percussion work of Mauch\, who continually seeks to expand the repertoire of sounds from what little of a setup he brings on the road.\n“It bears mentioning that Dev invented his particular style of drumming in his college days and\, just as you might expect\, that kind of thing comes with somewhat of a learning curve\,” says Thieves co-founder Earley. “He’s constantly exploring the limits of what he can do with his setup and adding to it in the process\, and that creative energy definitely contributed to the path we’re on.”\nIt brings to mind the early days of The Ballroom Thieves\, which really weren’t all that long ago. Limited to just a dorm room\, an acoustic guitar\, and a djembe\, Earley and Mauch first began making music together in 2010 while attending college just south of Boston. The minimalism of these early jam sessions continues to permeate in the purity of the band’s recent music\, while songwriting has only grown in complexity.\nBut the content of these songs isn’t just a product of “practice makes perfect.” All three of the Thieves are quick to point out that the foundation of their latest work is a reflection of their travels\, their interactions\, and their time on the road. The band has shared the stage with bands like The Lone Bellow\, Houndmouth\, and fellow New Englanders Dispatch over the last couple of years. Playing in front of six and playing in front of six hundred both happen with regularity\, presenting their own sets of challenges and rewards. Of course\, one of the greatest takeaways is the shared experience with any audience\, and the creative fuel that it continues to produce.\n“The experiences we have with friends\, fans\, and strangers when we perform is what keeps me wanting to explore this art form further and discover all that it has to offer\,” says Earley. “Simple human connection is a beautiful thing and I’m very grateful to be playing music that allows me to experience such feelings on a regular basis.”\nFor The Ballroom Thieves\, this family tree has only just begun to bloom\, but its roots give the trio a strong and solid structure from which to continue to build. A Wolf in the Doorway documents this growth in the most authentic way\, sending any listener off with a heavier heart and a purer soul than when they arrived.

SUMMARY:Shakey Graves
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. \nNewport Folk presents.\nDie Hard Tour \n*** \n“The first album was me wanting to burn down my life\, cut my hair off\, and run screaming into the woods\,” says Alejandro Rose-Garcia. “This album is the trials and tribulations of becoming domesticated\, letting people into your world and letting go of selfishness—the story of becoming a pair\, losing that\, and reconciling with the loss and gain of love.” \nRose-Garcia is professionally known as Shakey Graves\, and with his new record\, And the War Came\, he extends the ground—emotionally and sonically—broken by his 2011 self-released debut album\, Roll the Bones\, which brought him national acclaim and\, three years later\, still ranks near the top of Bandcamp’s digital best-seller charts. \nRoll the Bones established the powerful\, mesmerizing Shakey Graves sound of Rose-Garcia accompanying himself on guitar and a handmade kick drum built out of an old suitcase. NPR Music named him one of 10 artists music fans “should’ve known in 2012\,” describing him as “astonishing…unclassifiably original. And frighteningly good.” Paste included him in a “Best of What’s Next” feature\, praising his “gnarly composite of blues and folk\,” while The New York Times observed that Shakey Graves “makes the one-man band approach look effortless.” \nBut while this distinctive arrangement continued to earn him an ever-expanding fan base on the road\, Rose-Garcia knew that he wanted the follow-up to achieve something different. “With the first album\, I didn’t have any expectations except my own\,” he says. “This time\, I was making something people were going to listen to out of the gate. I tried to maintain everything I enjoy about recording\, the weird homemade aspect\, but I was seeking a new\, shining sound quality. The concepts for the songs are a little bigger. This is not the ‘Mr\, Folk\, Hobo Mountain’ album—it’s more of the Cyborg Shakey Graves. It’s definitely the next step in the staircase.” \nAn experienced actor who had a recurring role on Friday Night Lights and appeared in several of Robert Rodriguez films\, Rose-Garcia started making music as part of New York City’s “anti-folk” scene. While knocking around the underground music community in Los Angeles\, he saw a performance by one-man band Bob Log III that pointed his work in a new direction. Since returning to Austin\, Rose-Garcia has become so closely associated with his hometown that for the last three years\, Austin has celebrated “Shakey Graves Day” by mayoral proclamation. \nTo record And the War Came\, co-producer/collaborator Chris Boosahda brought all of his gear to Rose-Garcia’s house and converted the space into a big\, open studio. Though the signature Shakey Graves set-up remained the starting point\, other instrumentalists came in and multiple\, wildly different arrangements of the songs were attempted for what was initially planned as a double album. \nMost notably\, Rose-Garcia wrote and sings three of the album’s songs with Esme Patterson\, a solo artist and member of the Denver-based band Paper Bird. “We started out just having fun and writing\, and then that turned into some of my favorite songs on the album\,” he says. “We actually wrote ‘Dearly Departed’ on Halloween as a tongue-in-cheek\, haunted house sex joke\, and then we played it that night and people went bonkers. Esme and I write so similarly it kinda freaked us out\, and I really learned the power of writing music with someone you get along with.” \nSoon enough\, Rose-Garcia found that the experience of making the record was being mirrored in the songs themselves. “I was letting go of that one-man everything\,” he says. “I did need people’s help\, and my control freak nature had to subside a bit. It meant learning collaboration\, but also knowing when to stick to my guns—all of that was the experience of this year\, and the songs were some of the more genuine experiences; some of them even became sort of prophetic.” \n“Only Son\,” a meditation on solitude (“I used to be an only son/My heart was like a stranger”)\, became the opening track and “thesis statement” for And the War Came. “Hard Wired” is not\, as it may first appear\, about a relationship falling apart\, but “about having friends with problems—watching a friend struggling and not doing anything about it.” \nThe themes of these ten songs\, explains Rose-Garcia\, return over and over to the idea of the “other.” “It’s not about any single person\, it’s about being that second\, other person. Even the title—I never thought about whether I was able to handle that aspect of things\, of having these relationships. And the War Came is a little bit of\, be careful what you wish for.” \nSongs like “The Perfect Parts” and “Family and Genus\,” meanwhile\, represent a very different sound for Shakey Graves. “Those have a lot more aggression\, they’re heavy and big\,” he says. “I’m a little worried because it is a new step out\, and people have gotten really precious about the stuff I’ve done—which is a huge compliment\, and a dream come true—but I’m interested in what a Shakey Graves song is to people.” \nAnother crucial influence on the direction of And the War Came has been Rose-Garcia’s lengthy and far-flung touring schedule (which has recently included stops at the Winnipeg and Newport Folk Festivals\, prior to a headlining run this fall). “I’m constantly flying places and moving at a fast rate\,” he says. “Imagining what it was like a year ago is almost incomprehensible to me now. I feel like I’ve almost seen too much this year—bands\, music\, places. And if that doesn’t affect you in certain ways\, then you’re doing it wrong.” \nWhile his remarkable success story continues to unfold\, Alejandro Rose-Garcia sees And the War Came as a pivotal step in the evolution of Shakey Graves. “This is a doorframe album\, as we’re going into a new building\,” he says. “It’s taste of everything—what might come in future\, which might include just guitar or the one-man band thing\, but not pigeonholed to any one sound. I wanted to open some stuff up and get people ready for wherever it’s going.”
