Words cannot express just how exciting this is. Trust me -- anyone who is even a little bit interested in "world music", Afropop and beautiful music in general is not going to want to miss this. Ashley Maher is a fresh voice in the growing field of global music. Following the footsteps of pioneers like Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, and Sting, her work fuses western singer-songwriter sensibilities with the rhythms and textures of West Africa and Latin America. Ashley has regularly recorded and performed in London, Paris, and L.A., sung as a backing vocalist on records by Youssou N'Dour, The Afro-Celt Sound System, and Myriam Mursal, and performed as a dancer for a number of African dance troupes. Ashley's third, independendent CD, "The Blessed Rain," features some of West Africa's finest musicians. Said Nick Coleman of "Time Out", "Her tunes are almost indecently luxurious, the playing exquisite, and the arrangements as full of subtlety as you could wish...hers is a golden world, in which words are garlands, voices are a glow and drums...well, you know what they say about the drums." There are sound samples -- and even some performance video -- at , both of which are quite representative of her music. (Those in the immediate area can also tune in to Wild Woman Radio on WNHU 88.7-FM tomorrow (Sunday) evening between 8-11 pm to hear some tracks -- I'll be sprinkling her music throughout the show, just because I can. :) As always, we will have yummy snacks, and if the weather goes south again probably one last go-round with the hot cider. Please e-mail me at meth@smoe.org or call 203-776-9325 to reserve your seats for this highly anticipated show. And please tell your friends!
