this gig on friday..... Tim performs regularly in Steve Earle's Bluegrass Dukes and here are some sessions from the recent BBC Transatlantic Sessions YouTube - Look Down That Lonesome Road - Tim O'Brien

Support Ray Bonneville www.raybonneville.com MySpace.com - Ray Bonneville - Montreal/Austin, CA - Americana / Roots Music / Blues - www.myspace.com/raybonneville Ray Bonneville is a roaming gritty blues poet who won a prestigious Juno Award, the Canadian equivalent of a Grammy, in 1999, for his third album, Gust of Wind. A distinctive artist, a man who cooks up a deep groove soup, stirring his own unique percussive electric guitar style, his weathered voice, and soulful rack harmonica lines into songs that can be believed. The result is a powerful and visceral sound, with an almost primitive quality to it and a lot of forward momentum. “He creates his own powerful and unique version of the blues” (Dirty Linen).

here are 2 ideas of what to expect...... :up:

Vocoustics 50th Show: Mia Riddle + Davie Lawson + Delawair Wednesday 28th May The Tunnels 3 from 8pm miariddle.com MySpace.com - Mia Riddle - BROOKLYN, New York - Indie - www.myspace.com/miariddle From Brooklyn, New York, Mia Riddle is a spellbinding trip into indie-country bliss. Intellectual, charming, romantic and wistful songs delivered with a spine-tingling honeycomb voice which breathes a kind of fractured delicacy resting on a well-worn core of steel. Sweet dreamy Americana tunes of contradictory melancholy; a gem full of dark mystery and beauty; a sweet emotional alt-country storm that stabs kindly at the heart. First full-length album "Tumble and Drag" to be released very soon and hopefully available at the gig. "...a voice to die for." (Last Hours Magazine, London) A standout act with a bright future, Mia Riddle and Her Band are stars in the making. (LVHRD Magazine, NYC) "remarkably intellectual... not a single track should be passed up... as good as it gets. (The Owl Mag, SF) DAVIE LAWSON http://www.myspace.com/davielawson DELAWAIR http://www.myspace.com/delawair

some reviews of his new album: About.com Tim is back with a killer solo songwriter record full of country- and blues-inspired original folk songs. Tim O'Brien's career has been built on the sheer fact that the man can seemingly do anything musically. Navel-gazing folk songs, check. High-powered bluegrass fiddle tunes, check. Meandering mandolin noodling, check. Toe-tapping blues tunes, check. Classic old timey Celtic and American gospel songs, check. Bazouki, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, vocals...get the point? popmatters.com 'Chameleon' may be some of his best work to date, even if hes veered from the traditional bluegrass that made him famous in the country music world. Chameleon shows why hes one of the best pickers in music as he plays the guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo, bouzouki, and mandola. Chameleon sees OBrien as more of a Woody Guthrie folkie type, dispensing both silliness and political commentary with a sly wink. Some of the catchiest songs on Chameleon see OBrien getting political, albeit with a wacky twist or two. World of Trouble has a little Cotton-Eyed Joe breakdown, this time with Osama bin Laden as the titular figure. This World Was Made for Everyone is deliberately reminiscent of Woody Guthries This Land is Your Land; that is, cutting commentary combined with earwormy hooks, this time about Manifest Destiny, 19th century New England whaling practices, and air pollution. After all, as OBrien sings, This world was made for everyone / Especially for us. George Bush, Clinton, Jesus, and Bob Geldof also get name-dropped in a couple of tracks which are equally chock-full of OBriens whimsical and wry social observations. OBrien has definitely picked the right name for this new record, because in just the past few years weve seen him go from traditional bluegrass to Scots-Irish ballads to his current incarnation as witty folkie. Sure, he may be a chameleon, but lets hope he stays this color for a while. It sure seems to suit him.

nah, musicians are more 'ish' than promoters I should be along tonight with the second edition of IMP, Vocoustics and Dizzy Storm's group flyer

Vocoustics Presents: Men Diamler + Meursault + Fiona Keenan CELLAR 35 (Basement Bar, 35 Rosemount Viaduct, 01224 640483) Saturday 24th May 3 from 8pm MEN DIAMLER www.myspace.com/ mendiamler You will never forget the first time you saw Men Diamler! With a cult reputation in the South West, he is an earthly hellraiser and spirit changer preaching a revolution in footstompin' blues, two string serenades, backwoods heartache and pagan folk. A masterful lyricist of sweetness and dark and possessor of a near-operatic voice of such character and power it is truly jaw dropping. An emotionally stark and unpredictable live show full of naked soul giving, woozy lullabies, sea shanties and spirituals. An enlightening visceral gospel. "...a star, no two ways about it. Admittedly, a star in some macabre parallel universe where negro-field spirituals, Victorian freakshows, Glaswegian drinking songs, German expressionist art and Italian opera have become the dominant culture." (Decode) "Sweet and darkness have never sounded so close or so intense... Psychosis never sounded this good and people clap!" Qujunktions "Lopsided, unapologetic folk music that lives in a fucked up, peculiar world of its own." Thora Zine " his voice is so astonishing that traffic literally stops.... its as authentic as it gets."
