SUMMARY:Cliff Eberhardt in concert\, Louise Mosrie opens.
DESCRIPTION:Cliff had such a good time last year at the ACMA he wants to do it again. And he’s bringing Louise with him!\nThe review by J Allen pretty much sums it up!\nCliff Eberhardt may have come up on the same ’80s East Coast singer/songwriter scene as Shawn Colvin\, Lucy Kaplansky\, John Gorka\, et al.\, but even from the beginning he had rock & roll — and even pop — aspirations. His early albums found him leaning toward Springsteen-esque heartland rock and almost John Waite-ish balladry as much as the folkish approach of his aforementioned peers\, and his rough-edged voice and hook-centric songwriting made it all work. The further into his career he gets\, however\, the more he concentrates on spare\, acoustic-based settings and slow\, soulful ballads. Call it “maturity\,” “evolution\,” or “back to basics\,” the important thing is that he can pull it off a hell of a lot more convincingly than some straight-up rocker for whom the acoustic troubadour mode is an unprecedented step. On this\, the eighth album of a recording career that began in 1990\, the fiftysomething songwriter furthers the organic\, as-close-to-live-as-possible approach of his preceding release\, The High Above and the Down Below\, sounding completely at ease in this mode. Sometimes\, as on “Have a Little Heart” and a remake of “The Long Road\,” the title track from his ’90 debut album\, Eberhardt lays into a big\, bold pop melody that wouldn’t sound out of place being belted out by an American Idol contestant (that’s not a pejorative statement). But for the most part\, his gritty\, soul-soaked voice leans comfortably into more low-key constructions. Most of these songs have the feel of hard-earned wisdom from a man who has run life’s emotional gauntlet and emerged with not just some trenchant\, humbly offered observations\, but the knowledge that the best way to put them across is a soft sell\nwww.cliffeberhardt.coom\nAnd about Louise!\nLouise grew up in the small town just outside of Nashville\, TN on a farm with British parents and several siblings – riding horses\, writing poetry and singing with the radio. After college in Knoxville\, she “borrowed” her brother’s Sears guitar\, bought a simple chord book and started writing songs. The early material was mostly acoustic pop as she tried to channel her English roots while listening to Everything But the Girl and The Sundays.Fast forward a few years\, a move back to Nashville and some deep soul searching\, Louise began writing songs about the South – what she knew and where she grew up. In 2008\, she began working on a new album eventually to be called “Home” because she’d come full circle in her “voice” as a writer. The album was a mix of bluegrass\, country and folk and as she weaved in lush stories and songs about southern life\, she was even introduced once as “…William Faulkner with a guitar”. With those songs\, she entered some song contests connected to festivals and ended up winning top awards at Kerrville Folk Festival\, Wildflower! Festival\, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. “Home” debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ charts in January 2010 and went on to be one of the most played albums that year for that chart. \nBuoyed by a couple thousand earnest fans\, she began touring all over the Eastern seaboard\, the South and Texas. Audience members would tell her that they enjoyed the stories between the songs as much as the songs and her strong expressive voice was described as “…like listening to Patty Griffin and Susan Tedeschi at the same time.” She’s played at The Bluebird Café in Nashville\, Club Passim in Boston\, Caffé Lena in NY and was just recently invited to play at The Birchmere in Washington DC. \nIn 2012\, her 15-year marriage ended and her mother was diagnosed with brain cancer and died 6 months later. Out of those dark days came some new songs that would eventually be recorded on her newest release “Lay It Down”: 10 songs of love\, loss and surrender. On “Lay It Down”\, she collaborated with folk-rock songwriter/producer\, Cliff Eberhardt\, who envisioned that minimalist arrangements and restrained production would allow the emotional songs and Louise’s voice a stark relief to rest and shine in. \nThe new CD\, “Lay It Down”\, will be released in late summer/Fall 2014…and the journey will continue…. \nContact: louise@louisemosrie.com

SUMMARY:Violet Bell. Mary Dahl and Carolyn Stanley open
DESCRIPTION:Violet Bell’s original Americana is woven from threads of folk\, soul\, bluegrass\, psychedelic\, and classical music. On stage and in the studio\, the energy between Lizzy Ross and Omar Ruiz-Lopez is fiery\, intimate and intuitive. Based out of Durham\, the pair have played shows from Montreal to Miami since forming in 2016\, resulting in a strong onstage chemistry that’s evident in person and in videos of these live performances. \n\n\n \n\n\nThe two share a mutual love of rock\, hip-hop and R&B that finds its way into their traditionally rooted music. “She’s a songwriter\, I’m a composer and multi-instrumentalist\, and our ability to meld those abilities and genres works well for us\,” Ruiz-Lopez says. “The world of songwriting is a very interesting one as opposed to purely instrumental\, ‘classical music.’ There’s more stylistic freedom. Combining those singer-songwriter qualities with orchestral technique allows us to create interesting textures around our message.”\n\n\nhttps://www.lizzy.net\n\n\nMary Dahl and Carolyn Stanley open. Mary & Carolyn always wonderful music to the stage plus the unexpected .
