Mark Eitzel

Wednesday 18th April
Doors Open 7.30pm/Support 8pm
13.50 (9 concessions and Regulars)
As the vocalist/songwriter for one of the most influential bands to emerge from the '80s - American Music Club Mark Eitzel's sound is constantly changing, from his first solo effort 60 Watt Silver Lining through to The Invisible Man, which was primarily electronic based. His latest record, Candy Ass to retain a timeless sound by using both modern and older equipment, layering and interweaving his soundscapes over beds of percussion and drum loops to create some of his most beautiful songs to date. The album also contains three acoustic based tracks including Sleeping Beauty which has become a current staple of his recent live solo shows plus instrumental tracks written for a forthcoming film soundtrack.

Saturday 21st April

Led byTom and Alex White, Brightons Electric Soft Parade return after a sabbatical where their supergroup project Brakes took the limelight
Their 2002 debut Holes In The Wall earned the band a Q best new band award, a Mercury Music Prize nomination amidst rapturous acclaim while 2003s The American Adventure was a further slice of futuristic rock, but replaced the synthetic pop of its predecessor with the analogue growl of rawer recording techniques.
Now in 2007 these masters of reinvention release No Need To Be Downhearted which sees the ESP sound take further twists and turns and carry on their mission to break down musical systems, formulas and public perceptions.

Davey Graham
Mark Pavey
Monday 19th March
Doors Open 7pm/Onstage 8pm
15 (10 concessions and Regulars)
Davy Graham picked up the guitar at the age of 12 and has devoted his life to achieving total mastery of the instrument ever since. In 1960, at the age of 19, he wrote an instrumental tune for his then girlfriend, Anji, which remains a rite of passage for every budding guitarist. In1962, he invented a system of tuning called DADGAD, which is now used by musicians all over the world and has become a cornerstone of acoustic guitar playing.
He is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists of any genre and era and has been an important influence on countless musicians including Bert Jansch, Paul Simon and Jimmy Page. The word legend is vastly overused in music circles but Davy Graham is one of the elite band of performers who genuinely deserves such a description. He has recently made a comeback to live performance and recording after a very long lay-off and we are absolutely delighted to welcome him to The Lemon Tree.
"Davey Graham is a living legend of the British folk scene. Back in the 1960s, when the folk clubs provided a home for mavericks as well as traditionalists, he was always ahead of the pack, a guitar hero who mixed English folk songs with blues and jazz, and then disappeared to north Africa to add in Arabic influences long before anyone else. He wrote the classic Anji, covered by Paul Simon, and influenced other great players like Bert Jansch. There were fears at one time that his lifestyle would overtake him, but he survived to be rediscovered by the new generation of folk fans.
Davey (or Davy as he was once known), now in his 60s, came on looking like a cool veteran cowboy in black hat and dark glasses. He had confided earlier that "I'm a bit slower than before", but his guitar work was as eclectic as ever. He started with blues, followed by a baroque piece from Serbia and a dance tune from Romania. When asked to sing he responded with Big Bad Bill, the ragtime track recorded by Ry Cooder. Then came his intricate guitar treatment of songs from South Africa, Irish pipe tunes, or a courtly piece from 16th-century Italy.
There were a couple of stumbled passages, maybe, but his playing and musical vision are still unparalleled."

Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby:
The Eric and Amy Show
plus The Kitchen Cynics
Monday 12th March
Doors Open 7.30pm/Onstage 8pm
9 (6 concessions and Regulars)
Since their debut duo performance of Je TAime at Yo La Tengos 2005 Hanukkah show fell apart and left the Hoboken crowd in stunned silence, Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby have been delighting and confounding audiences from New York to Norwich, from Herne Bay to Memphis.
Combining several decades of critically acclaimed records and failed relationships, Eric and Amy join forces in The Eric & Amy Show. With twice the jaded romanticism, two times the honest observation and double the musical enthusiasm, together and separately they perform their should-be, could-be and has-been hits, accompanying each other on harmonies, guitars, bass and keyboards.
Wreckless Eric and sassy American singer/songwriter Amy Rigby played with awe-inspiring energy and enthusiasm for more than two-and-a-half hours. More double act than duo, they shared equal billing...they accompanied one another perfectly. Bristol Evening Post

Ben Taylor
Amy MacDonald
Monday 29th January
Doors Open 7.30pm/Support 8pm
10 (6.75 concessions and Regulars)
Say you're a gifted young artist - someone like Ben Taylor, for instance. You've written a pile of great songs. You've got a way with melody and a mastery of the understated lyric.
You've got a voice that lingers in the air - tuneful, expressive, the kind of voice that makes its impact with the smallest turn of a whispered phrase.
Under normal circumstances, you've got all it takes to make an impression. Some might say you're even a candidate for stardom.
But Ben Taylor's circumstance is far from normal. His parents - father James Taylor, mother Carly Simon - are giants of popular music. And with that lineage come the expectations that make his latest album, Another Run Around The Sun a milestone as well as a masterwork.
