Saturday 13
Hill Billy Voodoo
MySpace |
People ask us to describe our sound and we tell them "There’s a real hillbilly influence but as songwriter’s we play a variety of sounds and instruments." Our sound is not so much a specific genre or niche but a vibe and a groove. As individual songwriters, we both delve into the emotional and the stories we feel need telling. |

boulderacousticsociety.net |
Shredding guitar licks, soaring gypsy violin, a little ukulele and the thump of an old time bass bounce around with a jazz accordion and creative percussion to create a new sound. It is American Roots music with the edge of punk rock and the grace of chamber music. |

Chatham County Line

Banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and bass certainly conjure certain musical images to mind, and in the past CCL had been content to play the part—a fun loving bluegrass band touring endlessly, summers full of festivals and hi-jinx. |

Ana Egge

Ana Egge expands on her reputation as folk underground's bluesiest new chanteuse. Featuring tunes from artists as disparate as Le Tigre and Gene Autry, the delightfully medicated listlessness of Egge's interpretations makes each and every track (Lazy Days) soar, whether tackling Belle & Sebastian's "Summer Wastin' " or Arcade Fire's "In the Backseat."

Red Molly

|
Red Molly? Homage to a mysterious great-grandmother with auburn hair and a fiery disposition? An infamous, left-leaning union organizer from Maryland? The notorious "ladies of the evening" of 19th century London? The brave, leather-jacketed heroine of a Richard Thompson song? Or merely the hard-working farm mules of rural America? We’d tell you, but then we’d have to kill you. We do so love a good, old-fashioned murder ballad. |
