Tawni and I saw Erin McKeown at a small bookstore/cafe in the
neighborhood of Seattle called Fremont.   It was packed--about 40
people--and a great show.  Apparently her west coast tour is selling out
all up and down the coast.  That's a lot easier to do when you select
smallish venues (smart business move!)  I saw her here last June with 3
others at the Tractor and while that show was good too, I much prefer the
more intimate shows.  (To make this have some Catie content and follow in
that vein, my favorite Catie show here was at Bumbershoot a few years ago
because it was very very small and intimate...)

Subject: [dads-yard] Tegan and Sarah-no CC

 Hey, it's been a very long while since I've posted to this list, but all
this talk of Ani made me think of mentioning this Canadian duo, Tegan and
Sarah. Tegan and Sarah are two nineteen-year old twins who are being
compared to Ani, but who list Kinnie Star among others as musical
influences.  They have two records out, Under These Feet, I believe
that's the title of the first one, only available in Canada, then This
Business of Art, which I have been listening to constantly since I
acquired it. I will agree they are similar to Ani in a few ways, but
they've got a sound all their own and their sound is refreshingly layered
for a rock/folk group.  Their lyrics, music, and voices are all amazing. I'd
like to say I haven't been this excited about an album since Catie
Curtis' self-entitled, but Dar's latest, The Green World hasn't left my
player yet.  I haven't however, been this excited about finding an artist
since coming across Catie, if that at all explains my enthusiasm for
Tegan and Sarah. This Business of Art may be hard to find, I found it at
my local public radio station, which airs the World Cafe, who have been
playing a track of Tegan and Sarah's called "The First."  If you're
interested in hearing them, they've got a few sites, just go to a search
engine and enter their names as so "Tegan and Sarah" If you have trouble
with that, you can order it from my local radio station, check out: www.kumd.org Take
care and keep talking about good music, Lynn

tegan & sara have a website @ teganandsara.com ;). i found them @ a
woman's bookstore this summer... i agree, they are awesome!
incidentally--does anyone know if it's pronounced TAY-gan (rhyming
w/reagan) or TEE-gan? no clue. 

but yeah, the cd is fun & funky. i see the ani comparison, altho' @
the store i bought it fr., it was labelled "if you like indigo girls,
try..." i didn't know the world cafe was playing them! (LOVE that
show... but haven't listened in a while)

I saw them twice recently in the Bay Area, and the charmed me. :)

They pronounced it TEE-gan.

Subject: [dads-yard] Miss Folk America

last night i went to see jenny reynolds, deb pasternak and faith soloway play 
at a small club. faith told the audience that Miss Folk America is going to 
be performed again on May 19th at the Somerville Theater in Somerville, MA. i 
was fortunate to see the first showing and it was hilarious.  i would 
recommend everyone who has a chance to go see this ... you will laugh so hard 
your body will ache for days afterwards.

Subject: [dads-yard] Ani, early albums, the Wolf twins

Re: Ani.  I've been a fan longer than most people I know (since '94), but she's losing me.  Can't stand the horn section, and the next release (actually to be sold as 2 separate CDs) features them heavily, as does the current tour.  I'm not going to be a very happy camper until she scales back a bit again.

>From: "Tawni T. Hoang" <tawnihoa@earthlink.net>

>To me, Dandelion is a modest start.

I agree.  To me, both "Dandelion" and "From Years to Hours" are greatly inferior to her later releases (and I feel in good company since Catie clearly agrees <g>).  Now, I can see how people might like "Truth From Lies" more than the eponymous CD or CCiR, due to the difference in styles.  But I don't even consider the others to be in the same league in terms of quality of songwriting, singing, or production.

Those of you who like "Dandelion" and FYtH might like Kate's solo CD <http://home.earthlink.net/~wolfka/>. :-)

I liked Julie better with Laura Love's Band than with Ani's, but she's still cool (and really nice, too).  Her CD would shock Ani fans... it's kind of lounge-y jazz (piano and vocals).  According to this site <http://members.tripod.com/~Dykeland3/julie/>, Julie toured with Catie, I'm sorry I missed that!

hey i was at that tractor tavern show last summer too.  it was good, 
but i do prefer one artist at a time unless its people who are 
touring together and have a musical relationship, as opposed to 
random in the round stuff.

so i just moved out to montana a few months ago and i have met a few 
catie fans here.  does anyone know if catie has ever played in 
montana?  i would really like to bring her here at some point if 
possible.   there is a certain lack of good live music out here. 
some good local stuff though.  and lucy kaplansky might come in march!

This Business of Art has become one of my favorite new Cds as well.  It's fresh and compelling.
