I know I've seen her once before ( at the Somerville Theatre in Boston ) but I think I remember someone having her at their Living Room Concert. Did anyone read the posts about Steph's last concert, and does anyone remember if Jess was playing at it ? For any fans of her, she sounded great and did really well. When someone yelled, "How old are you ?" She said " forty three" and went on with it. The crowd was loud and not paying much attention, BUT some people were dancing and into her and she seemed to have a great time :) She sang an acapella song and everyone in the venue shut up and listened. Oh... and Moxy was great too :). If it weren't for the loud, rude crowd it would have abeen a perfect night, but hey.. it IS New York ;) Rachel :D ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 28 Jun 1998 11:34:19 -0500 From: Chris Snyder Subject: Re: MM: NPC : Jess Klein Rachel wrote: >I went to a Moxy Fruvous concert last night in NYC and Jess Klein opened for >them.

Did >anyone read the posts about Steph's last concert, and does anyone remember if >Jess was playing at it ? She's playing with Joel Cage and Rose Polenzani at my House Concert in Boston TODAY AT 4:00!!!! Remember you can't come because you'll "be in New York the night before"....wanna reconsider?? If anyone else is interested, e-mail me for dirrections. Chris On June 28th Jess Klein, Rose Polenzani, and Joel Cage will be playing the Snyder house in Boston. For those of you that haven't heard of these wonderful artists here is a (somewhat)brief description of each artist. "Wonderful...Go, go, go!" -- Dar Williams "When I heard her I thought Oh *@!"...She's really great." -- Carol Noonan "She's the one with that voice" -- Club Passim, Cambridge, MA Jess Klein is one of the rising stars on the Boston music scene. Her style could be described as words in the style of Joni Mitchell, a singing style that can mirror Patty Griffin, a voice that matches Rosalie Sorrels, and a personality reminiscent of Tracy Chapman. Jess is releasing her first complete cd on June 19th at a cd release at Passim in Cambridge, MA. This is the same club that helped to launch the careers of Dar Williams, Ellis Paul, Shawn Colvin, Tracy Chapman, Joan Baez, and many others. Jess has been nominated for numerous Boston area awards and is on the brink of a career that is about to take off. She has opened for the likes of Dar Williams, Carol Noonan Band, Martin Sexton, Disappear Fear, Diane Ziegler, Jabbering Trout, Cosy Sheridan, The Nields, Jim's Big Ego, Kevin So, and Moxy Fruvous. Make sure to catch her in small venues while you still can. Rose is a Chicago based singer-songwriter. She has a very unique style that is hard to describe. She has been compared to Tori Amos, and Leonard Cohen. She has an amazing way with words that scream to be heard even though the voice reciting them is close to a whisper. Some of may have heard of Rose through Lilith Fair. Rose won the Chicago Lilith Fair Acoustic Talent Search and she will be playing the Village stage in Chicago. I just have to add that I think Chicago is the Lilith to be at this year with a line-up including Des'ree, Liz Phair, Bonnie Rait, Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLachlan, Catie Curtis, Diana King, Victoria Williams and, Rose Polenzani how can you go wrong. Rose has also been added to the Newport Folk Festival, and the Traveling Newport Folk Festival in Chicago. Rose is an artist on the rise so catch her now. Also playing will be boston rocker/ folkie Joel Cage. Joel is a veteran of the Boston music scene. His music has taken him all over the world including an international tour as part of Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes. Joel has now turned his focus closer to Boston but is continuing to walk the line between folk and rock. He is one of the few performers I know who could open for Tara Maclean, Dar Williams, Bruce Springsteen, or Metallica. In 1996 Joel wa nominated for a Boston Music Award for Best New Contemporary Folk Artist. Then in 1997 he won first prize in The USA Songwriter's Contest for his composition "From The Farthest Reaches." Also in 1997 Joel played a tear the roof down show at the Kendall Cafe following one of Tara MacLean's amazing shows(he even had Stacey screaming). And probably Joel's biggest honor to date. A member of NARAS (the association that is in charge of the GRAMMYS) submitted From The Farthest Reaches and Last Hard Road [the CD] in the preliminary nominational round for the 1997 Grammy Awards! Joel just returned from the Kerville Folk Festival in Kerville, TX where he was competing for the title of a "Kerrville New Folk Winner". Joel is someone that has seen what there is and you can hear it in his songs. So come out and hear a wonderful musician. Here is the long and the short of it. What: The Longfellow St. Concert Series When: Sunday June 28th Time: 4 PM Where: 39 Longfellow St. Boston MA Who: Jess Klein, Rose Polenzani, and Joel Cage. Who: You and any friends interested in hearing wonderful music. Cost: $10 which will go directly to the performers. RSVP: Please mail with RSVP or any questions Bring chairs and blankets. This show will be outdoors unless the weather turns bad. We have a nice cozy yard that feels like a small folk club without the ceiling. We are even building a stage for this concert and those during the rest of the summer. So come out, have fun, sit in the sun, and hear wonderful music. Feel free to bring any snacks you would like to share. I'm sure we will have Lemonade, Iced Tea, other beverages, and some muchies but we could always use more. Bring your friends, bring your co-workers, bring your family. What could be more fun than a summer afternoon in Boston, with great people, and great music. Hope you can make it.

Never mind them getting the words wrong, they get easy things like punctuation wrong ( "You're covered in baby's" ). Another thing that always bothers me is the tense some songs are in... for instance "Man said 'woman I'm a little tired of you'", is, as far as I'm concerned, "'Man SAYS 'woman I'm a little tired of you'". Oh well... how's everybody out there doing ? Everyone OK ? Everyone happy ? Everyone well fed ? Good.

I went to see John King-of-all-that-is-Wonderful Gorka a couple of Septembers ago at the Southgate House in Covington, Kentucky (basically Cincinnati), knowing I'd heard Patty Griffin's (the opening act) name before, but not being able to place where from. I eventually figured out that I'd heard "Time Will do the Talking" on the radio. I went out the next morning and bought all three of the cds that Borders had, keeping one for myself, sending one to my best friend, and saving one to give as a Christmas gift to my aunt and uncle who have superb taste when it comes to "folk" music.

It sounds like there's a few extra bars added in after the second chorus. I could be completely wrong- I don't feel like getting out my tape of the promo version to listen it out :). I definitely hear Emmylou Harris on Mary.. and on one other song too, but I forget which now. Tonight is the first time I get to listen to the CD on my CD player with good earphones, so I'm noticing things I never heard before :).
