As the third Ectophile mentioned here, I unfortunately can't compare this
concert to previous ones, since it was my first Loreena McKennitt concert.
For the first half of the concert I'd say Klaus is right - it "just sounded
like the record". Not that this is a bad thing, for her records are wonderful,
but you don't *really* need a concert then. For the second half (which featured
Loreenas older songs), her idling Porsches at least went into first gear ;-).
You could see the potential......

I did like the concert very much, especially the second half, but I'll
definitely go to another one should the opportunity arise. I just am
unhappy that I missed the opportunity to see her in concert a couple of
years ago for just 2+ hours of driving to the place... Well.....

Bye,

Uli

One CD to add to the upcoming release list..

Grey Eye Glances' new album is finished and due out July 7th, no title
announced for it yet. Should be playing California in June, Chicago and
East Coast July and August... look for them..

A couple of dates for Mary Arden Collins
Tues. 4/28 The Bitter End, Bleecker St. NYC 9pm Full Band
Sat.   5/2 The Tin Angel, Phila. PA  7:30 and 10:30 Acoustic duo with
Sam Musumeci
more dates at http://members.aol.com/MaryArden1/
Definitely worth checking out.

Just picked up Cindy Morgan's new CD The Loving Kind. Fantastic singer
and songwriter, not sure who to compare her to though, maybe Joan
Osborne..
Also ordered Jeniffer Knapp's Kansas. The one song I've heard from it,
Undo Me, is fantastic, will see if the rest of the album is as good..

Jane/Jennifer/Barney/Tori/Loreena 
*** Shoot The Guy In The Middle. ***             

Riphug's Barney track list was a 
source of great distress to me. 
Jane & Jennifer Warnes !   I like 
Jane a whole bunch but EWS might 
have caused me to do without, but 
Jane AND Jennifer !  The Hunter and 
Famous Blue Raincoat are among 
my favorite discs of all time. 
Time to bite the bullet.

Dan and Jeff Burka responded to 
my screed about Ticket Bazzturd.

Dan: 
>>I'm surprised you were able to do 
THAT well, considering Loreena has 
a big hit song crossing over to 
several formats right now. <<

When I was down south for Mardi Gras 
last month I heard Mummer's Dance 
every other hour on the rental car 
radio while driving through Baldwin 
County Alabama. I guess if Loreena's
influence has reached that neck of 
the woods (it was an NPR affiliate) 
I suppose I was being hopelessly 
optimistic.

Jeff:
>>Naw, close to Loreena is front 
row (but then, I've never seen her 
any other way)<<

I'm green with envy. This will be 
the first time I've had the pleasure 
of seeing her live.

>>to be sure! I remember once being 
13th in line for a Sting concert 
and getting 25th row...<<

My rant may have been prompted more 
by past bad experiences then this 
particular encounter. When Tori
did the Beacon I called them the 
second the tickets went on sale 
and after battling through the 
busy signals I ended up in the 
23rd row. What pissed me off big 
time is that a friend called them 
up Three Days Later and got tickets 
in the 17th row. 

Neile suggested I take my tale of 
woe about getting shut out at 
Irving Plaza to the Tori lists. 
I did post a plea on RDT but I'm 
not holding my breath. If it weren't 
for the fact that I enjoy Tori shows 
less and less each time I see her, 
I'd probably be more upset than I 
am about getting shut out for the 
first time.  

When I saw Ani DeFranco at Irving 
Plaza it was a great show but the place 
sucked ferociously. Same thing for John 
Zorn's Naked City.  At least with Zorn's 
somewhat difficult to listen to music, the 
skanklyness of the place seemed a bit 
more appropriate.  He was doing more of 
his Kristallnacht/Painkillers, Yamatsuka Eye 
screechingly painful vocals, Buckethead 
bizzaro carryings on kind of stuff instead 
of the cartoon jazz that I prefer. 

Instead of doing one night in a shitty 
venue like Irving Plaza, I don't know 
why she doesn't just hole up in the 
Plaza for ten days and do a week at 
Town Hall or several nights at 
Carnegie Hall.

John 
(Who's done being cranky for now.)

 Lilith Fair launches talent search

By KAREN BLISS -- Jam!Music

More than two-and-a-half months before Sarah McLachlan's female-fronted 
music festival kicks off June19 in Portland, Lilith Fair fever is 
already high. While a press conference is scheduled April 16 in Los 
Angeles to announce the 30-plus North American concert dates, the Lilith 
Fair camp has just unveiled plans to present local talent searches in 14 
of the markets in which the festival will be playing, with the winner 
getting a slot on the side stage. (This year's mainstage lineup includes 
McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Sinead O'Connor, Paula Cole, Shawn Colvin, 
Erykah Badu, Missy Elliot, Sheryl Crow, and The Indigo Girls).  "Sarah 
and the partners at Lilith Fair wanted to have some sort local talent on 
every Lilith date and came up with the idea of a talent search," says 
Pierre Tremblay, VP of Nettwerk Management in Vancouver. "In every 
single market, be it Indianapolis or Toronto or Raleigh, North Carolina, 
we want somebody who is actually from that city performing on Lilith 
Fair." In keeping with the spirit of Lilith Fair, only female-fronted 
acts are eligible to apply, but they must be acoustic with no more than 
three members. "We've got so many artists on the side stage and 
technically it was the only way it could work," explains Tremblay. "But 
you can still have somebody like a Kinnie Starr, who has a bit of an 
edge but can do it in a way that works within our production needs."  
The judging for each event will be organized locally by the respective 
promoter, but Lilith Fair submitted "rules" to each promoter, outlining 
how they want the judging handled.  "We want a representative form the 
promoter, a representative from a radio station, a local press person 
and somebody in the music industry in that market, be it an artist or 
whatever, so it's not all one-sided," says Tremblay. 
 The only Canadian talent search announced so far is in Toronto. Two 
winners will be chosen to perform at one of two Lilith Fair '98 
performances at The Molson Amphitheatre in mid-August. To qualify, a 
two-song demo must be submitted by mail or in person to: Levi's/Lilith 
fair Acoustic Talent Search c/o Universal Concerts Canada @ Molson 
Amphitheatre 909 Lakeshore Blvd. W., 3rd. Floor Toronto, Ontario M6K 
3L3. Deadline is April 10 at 6 p.m. (ET) The tapes will then be judged 
by "the talent department of Universal Concerts", according to Denise 
Dorchak, assistant talent buyer at Universal Concerts Canada inToronto. 
Finalists will be contacted by phone on April17th. (A list of names will 
also be posted on the Universal website: www.universalconcerts.ca) "Out 
of all of those applicants, 20 participants will be chosen to perform 
one song on April 21st at the Opera House for a panel of judges 
consisting of -- and this still hasn't been confirmed," says Dorchak -- 
"but probably somebody from (radio station) The Edge, somebody from 
(weekly magazine) Now, maybe somebody from MuchMusic and maybe somebody 
from our office." 
 Admission for the April 21 talent-search concert is free.  The show 
kicks off at 8 p.m. While all the Canadian dates will take place in 
August, they won't be happening back-to-back. According to Tremblay, the 
festival will travel to Toronto, return to America, then come back and 
do Western Canada.  

I'm sure many on this list know people who would want to do this.  What 
a fantastic opportunity!

Peace

Steve

Subject: Grey Eye Glances concert review 4/4

Hey folks

In light of dave's recent postings about Grey eye glances, I figured I'd
fill y'all in on their concert that I dragged my pal Matt to last night in
Cambridge, MA.  

It was this tiny little place, which I'm sure Boston ectophiles already know
about (the Kendall Cafe), as it had signed posters all over the walls from
Tara MacLean, Leah Andreone, etc.  I mean, tiny.  They couldn't even fit the
whole band on the stage--the drum kit was on the floor.  And they were lit
with the oh so lovely glow of Christmas lites strung about the stage.  But
they squeezed over 100 people into the space for the second of two sold out
shows.

Anyway, the show started at 9pm, and as Dwayne the keyboardist said,
"there's no closing act, so sing along 'cause we'll play for as long as you
like."  I guess it went until about midnight with a short break.  Cool.
Jennifer Nobel was absolutely adorable, and the woman next to me kept
commenting, "She's so tiny!"  And it was true--she looked almost dwarfed
behind her huge guitar.  When she put it down and sang, she closed her eyes
and put her hands together and it looked like she was praying.  Although she
was stuck right behind a post so I had to hop up on the back of the bench to
see her.

The basic three were there, plus a drummer and an electric guitarist that
they stuck in the back who looked like he really didn't belong there at all.
He sounded great, though.

Anyways, they mostly played stuff from Eventide, but they hit some of the
older songs, and three or four new ones from the CD they just wrapped.
Apparently they had played on the radio that afternoon.  Boston is
apparently 2nd behind Philly in GEG sales, so they seemed happy to be there.
But the set list was:

1. The Me you see?
2. In the company of you
3. Days to dust
4. Sleepy (New)
5. Far (New)
6. Song of Leaving...at least I think so
7. and all I've loved, I've loved alone
8. Hard
9. Angel
10. Passing of the Evening
- --break--
11. Something to live for
12. These walls
13. The Close of the Day (New)
14. I Know What It Means
15. Snow...the old version
16. and 17. Songs I didn't recognize
18. Before you go
19.--We missed the last song, since we had to head back to
Providence...probably was Halfway Back, though, since I know they hadn't
played it yet...

Admittedly, the set list is rather lacking--I'm rather new to the GEG scene.
Were there any other Ectophiles there that could clue me in?

Anyways, the new songs...Sleepy is about the friend that just wouldn't
leave.  Kind of cute, with lines like "If you dont stop talking I might have
to kill you...".  Upbeat, almost a country feel.  Far is a ballad, and quite
lovely.  The Close of the Day is also a ballad which didn't strike me, but
might grow if I heard it again.

They had the whole house boppin' along by the end of it.  There was a whole
crowd of people that couldn't get seats, and they were all kind of bouncing
by the end of the first set.  Dwayne is definitely the most charismatic of
the group.  At one point he started talking like Chewbacca and had the
audience try it back to him.  :)  They were rather nostalgic about the old
days--apparently they had played the Kendall six years ago to an audience of
three, so this was a distinct improvement.  However, he also mentioned that
their old stuff was "not as pretentious" as Eventide...

So we completed the collection of their old CD's, and got them autographed.
Matt went up to chat with the band (I was stuck behind a table with a
sprained ankle) and said hi from the ecto list, I believe.  (Matt, delurk
sometime, eh?)  We were really upset to have to leave early.

Anyhow, that's that--thanx again to the ectophiles for another cool band!

No, really.....I shopped a little on A&B Sound's website this morning, but
there's just something about actually holding those little square plastic cd

Subject: EWS strikes again...

Hey, me again.

I forgot to mention that there was a huge sale going on at Strawberries Used
CD store when I was in Boston yesterday.  So I made a huge haul at the rate
of 3 discs for 10 bucks.  Here's the scoop--

Jann Arden: Living under june
Bel Canto: Magic box
blackgirls: happy
blackgirls: procedure
Ellen James Society: reluctantly we
Melissa Etheridge:never enough
Diana King: tougher than love
Sam Phillips: cruel inventions
Paul Simon: Rhythm of the Saints
10,000 Maniacs" Hope Chest
Tanita Tikaram: everybody's angel
Tanita Tikaram: The Sweet Keeper
Yes: Talk
VA: Ain't Nuthin but a She Thing

Which means that I now have three different versions of Mna Hn Eireann, one
by Kate, one by Sinead, and one by Susan McKeown...

They also had some Anonymous 4, some Kristen Hersh, a lot more Melissa
Etheridge, and the place was overflowing with out of print ecto cd's.
Nothing is alphabetized, but if you're willing to search it's a decent deal.
Apparently anything that is listed between 3.99 and 9.99 in the Used section
(which is pretty much everything) is going for 3 for 10 bucks.  And the used
section covers the whole floor.  Boston ectophiles check it out--it's the
five floor strawberries by Filenes...Plus they've got free coffee in the
classical section...

I think I'm moving in...

I'm with Jill; there's something very gratifying about in-store CD browsing
and CD shopping.  Not to mention the added-value of those listening stations.

Then the thing becomes to hit those A&B Sound sales.  :)

Subject: smoe.org fundraiser

ectophiles,

as most of you know, smoe.org is jeff wasilko's labo(u)r of love. for the
past four years, he has been investing his time and money into smoe.org in
order to make the net a safe place for music-related mailing lists and web
sites. unfortunately, the hardware that he's using is beginning to show the
wear and tear of time and needs to be replaced before something
catastrophic happens. so, the smoe listowners decided to hold a fundraiser
to help defray jeff's costs for the new servers. mike connell, who runs the
jewel list, has kindly volunteered to organize the fundraiser. within the
next day or so, he will be posting the details about the drive and how to
contribute. donations are not mandatory, but any money that you can spare
would help greatly. so, please take the time to read mike's note when it
appears and consider helping out.

thanks,

woj

  Hi, from Parade Sunday mag:
  Q: "I thought Grammy Nominee Ani DiFranco was gay.  Now I hear that
she's dating a guy.  What's up?" 
  A:  "DiFranco,27, is bisexual.  But the singer... has taken a chance on
love with Andrew Gilchrist, a Canadian recording engineer.  She won't say
if the relationship is monogamous or if she has given up women for the
time being.  Her fans--many of whom are militant lesbians--may be upset by
her current sexual preference."

Subject: Boston House Concert Invitation

Hello ectophiles
	I wanted to let you all know about a very special concert happening
April 24th 1998 in Boston.
Here is an organized summary of the history, and this years event.

History

The idea for the first house concert of this series started with two
artists from San Diego California.  Cindy Lee Berryhill and Elizabeth
Hummel were on a tour of the Northeast United States.  They had played TT
The Bear's in Cambridge Massachusetts and were going to play Albany New
York when they found out that show was cancelled.  Because of this
cancellation they were left with an extra few days in the Boston area.

They decided they wanted to play a show.  They called Larry Greenfield in
Los Angeles California and asked if he could find them a place to play.
On April 16th at 8pm Larry posted to the Jewel Mailing List The Everyday
Angels.  He asked if there was anyone in the Boston area who would be
willing to give their home for a livingroom concert.  Christopher Snyder
answered Larry's call for a place to play and by the end of the day it was
decided that on April 18th the EDA Cafe would take place.

Immediately the call was put out on the Jewel list that this concert would
infact happen.  Within the span of two days over 20 EDAs made plans to go
to Dorchester for the EDA Cafe.

The result was an amazing evening featuring two amazing performers and a
group of wonderful music loving fans.  It is very hard to describe exactly
what the concert was like.  Even though the artists and fans didn't know
each other there was an instant familiarity that provided a perfect
enviroment for relaxed, intimate, special moments.
This concert manifested many things including a tape-tree on the Jewel
mailing list, and a Living Room tour that took Cindy Lee, and Elizabeth
from one side of the country to the other, and The concert has also given
other artists intrest in having Living Room tours of their own.


Here is the FAQ type info for this years show

What?  EDA Cafe 2
Where?  39 Longfellow St.  Boston MA  Home of the Snyder's
When?  April 24th 1998  The show will start around 8  with dinner beforehand.
I want to know how much MONEY it costs?  There is a 10 dollar suggested
donation.
Who?  Performers: A wonderful local performewr named Kevin So.  If any of
you haven't heard him you definitely should .  He is one of those precious
male artists in the tradition of John Gorka, and James Taylor.
You can view a page on him at http://www.tiac.net/users/gegertha/Kevin.html
and find
links to sound samples.
I am also working on other performers.
Why?  Simple...To have a wonderful time with great people and great music.
How do you attend?  RSVP to this address.  It is very important to do this
ASAP.
You will then get all the other info you need to attend the concert.


I hope this concert might be of intrest to some of you.
Peace be with you.

Chis Snyder

- -----Forwarded message from Charlie Sweeney <charlies@voicenet.com>-----

Hello E-fans and believers!
	Time for my monthly update on shows but before I start, let me make 
a quick pitch.
	Susan needs you- to sign onto the "believers" list! This is a very 
quiet list, for the most part, but as a member of 30 e-mail 
discussion groups, I have to tell you that the signal to noise ratio 
is most advantageous. Not a lot of drivel, but great reviews and 
good info for the musicians amongst us. believers only speak when 
they have something intelligent to say, a rarity indeed in the net 
culture. You'll still get the announcements, on the same schedule,
but the interactive nature will allow you to link up with other 
believers for activities before and after shows. And the list is read 
by Susan's management, so what you have to say on believers does 
reach Susan. 
	Also, Maryl Neff from NOMA has asked me to remind you that Susan's 
albums are available at:
http://songs.com
	Susan's "Live at the Tin Angel" is currently #4 on the NOMA top 25 
list. NOMA offers an alternative to the average schlock on the radio. 
As they say "It's like a big record store-with nothing but good 
music".

	Finally, I am planning to attend the Concerts under the Stars 
performance on May 24th, probably with my sons in tow. I'd love to 
meet some of you folks there. E-mail me and maybe we can make a plan!
BTW, Richard Shindell is opening. Richard is wonderful.
