[Heather Stewart <] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2005 15:26:50 -0700 (PDT) From: Masaki Asaoka Subject: [dads-yard] Catie on E-Town Catie on E-Town/WUMB Catie will be on E-Town on WUMB this Saturday, July 2nd. E-Town 6:00 am featuring Great Big Sea; Catie Curtis Newfoundland's Great Big Sea is renowned for drawing together disparate threads of folk and pop music using powerful singing, driving rhythms and soaring melody. Their unique appeal is built by combining the traditional music of their isolated Newfoundland home with a myriad of pop influences. Critics have described them as "the best party band that ever picked up a fiddle". Catie Curtis crafts a potent mix of anthemic rock rhythms, dark, heart-worn ballads and giddy pop harmonies. Originally from rural Maine, Catie came to Boston as part of the burgeoning indie music scene of the early nineties. Critics have called her "a folk-pop goddess" and her songs have been featured on television shows including Felicity, Dawson's Creek and others. (Rebroadcasted at 8 pm on Tuesday, July 5th on WUMB.) You can listen to WUBM on internet (remember it's EST time -- 3 am PST) or go to E-Town and go to Listen>Live Online to check out other stations which also carry E-Town. You mat find the one which broadcast the show at more reasonable and convenient time for you. If you can become a member of E-Town (free), you can access audio archives of all of the past E-Town shows. Lots of great ones.

Thanks to Masaki for the heads up regarding E-Town. For those who may not be on Catie's email list, scroll down for a heads up with some of Catie's other summertime fun. By the way...who's going to be at the Aug 5 & 6 P-Town shows? Oh...me, me me!! (She says stretching and waiving her hand high) Yea...I get to see shows on the "other" coast for the first time! : ) Would love to say hello to fellow listers...so if you're coming, you probably won't be able to miss this 6' gal with short hair, glasses, and a boo-tay...please say hi! And to really slut it out...I'm heading to New England on July 21-Aug 9 for a "spontaneous" road trip adventure. Which means, except for maybe the first night or two and then the Aug shows, I'll be winging it. No reservations anywhere except for the Pilgrim House yet...hope I don't screw myself too badly...considering it's tourist season and all. I don't necessarily plan on hitting ALL the biggest tourista places, per se...would rather do some small town real life. But I know I'll be taking chances with a place to lay my head at night, considering I really don't know anyone out that way. I'm not doing the Boston scene...done that (except for Passim, but don't see anything on the list when I'm there that calls to me). However, anything else in MA, NH, VT, ME...feel free to fling any recommendations my way for things to do, places to check out, places to stay, roads to drive! I've got a couple of weeks and I'm working with a bit of a budget, but there may be some flexibility...so here's a chance to play tour guide for me. : ) Righty o'...happy Monday and have a great and safe 4th of July weekend! Before scrolling for Catie's message, here are a few choice quotes to take you into that holiday...ciao! Heather America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. - --Abraham Lincoln There are no necessary evils in government. Its evils exist only in its abuses. If it would confine itself to equal protection, and, as Heaven does its rains, shower its favors alike on the high and the low, the rich and the poor, it would be an unqualified blessing. - --Andrew JacksonI have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. - --Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest. - --President Thomas Jefferson Patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels. - --Mark Twain Beer commercials are so patriotic: 'Made the American Way.' What does that have to do with America? Is that what America stands for? Feeling sluggish and urinating frequently? - --Evelyn Waugh Catie Curtis wrote: Date: 27 Jun 2005 15:40:17 -0000 Subject: Celebrate July 1st, 2nd and 3rd, too! I've been living at a camp on Lake Michigan for the past few weeks. Gorgeous sunsets over a lake that I still can't believe isn't the ocean. This weekend I'm traveling east for three gigs in Massachusetts. Mark Erelli (www.markerelli.com) will join me on guitar and vocals all weekend, and on July 1 and 3, Elizabeth Steen (who plays with Natalie Merchant) will be on keyboards. July 1 is a co-bill with Melissa Ferrick, who many of you already crave. We play together once every few years... don't miss it! Last week I played a show outside of Pittsburgh, and the opener was talented singer/songwriter Lindsay Mac (www.lindsaymac.com), who plays cello strapped on like a guitar. Her album release concert is at the Lizard Lounge in Cambridge MA this Tuesday, June 28th. See you out there!
