SUMMARY:Kimon Kirk and Syd Straw
DESCRIPTION:House concert with the Kimon Kirk band and Syd Straw\nAt Brick Hill House Concerts 7:30pm\, Doors open at 7:00.\n508-255-3864 for seats and info. \nWe are delighted to have Kimon Kirk and his band AND Syd Straw performing for us in my cozy living room! Doors open at 7:00pm\, park along the road\, suggested donation $25\, call 508-255-3864 for more info. Or email chezdi@yahoo.com \nKimon Kirk:\nBassist and singer-songwriter Kimon Kirk’s new full-length double LP\, Bikini Jardine\, is slated for a summer 2026 release\, following his release of Altitude in 2021.  Bikini Jardine (whose title is a mashup of the name of the all female punk band Bikini Kill and the Beach Boys’ guitarist Al Jardine) includes songs written with Aimee Mann\, alt-country icon Robbie Fulks\, and Treat Her Right’s David Champagne\, and features guest appearances by Mann and Gaby Moreno on vocals and NRBQ keyboardist Terry Adams on clavinet\, as well as backing from Kirk’s longtime bandmates on the east and west coasts.  Based in Los Angeles but raised in the fertile musical ground of Boston\, Kirk has been the bassist in Grammy-winner Gaby Moreno’s band since 2016 and frequently collaborates with Aimee Mann as bassist\, backing vocalist\, and co-writer. He has also performed as bassist and harmony vocalist with Van Dyke Parks\, Grant-Lee Phillips\, Alejandro Escovedo\, Rufus Wainwright\, Session Americana\, Amy Correia\, and Sarah Borges.  \nKirk’s brand new single\, “Dashboard Hula Doll\,” was written with the pioneering alt-country artist Robbie Fulks and includes a video shot in the Southern California desert.  Kimon and Robbie met in Los Angeles after they were introduced by their mutual friend Duke Levine\, lead guitarist for Bonnie Raitt\, and a musician with whom both Fulks and Kirk had performed on multiple occasions over the years. The single was recorded at Sunset Sound in LA in one live session and features Kirk on vocals and electric guitar\, Fulks on vocals and acoustic guitar\, Levine on lead guitar\, and the powerhouse rhythm section of Paul Bryan (Aimee Mann\, Jeff Parker) on bass and drummer Jay Bellerose (Robert Plant and Alison Krauss)\, both of whom had anchored Levine’s band in Boston in the 1990’s and also comprised Dennis Brennan’s all-star group the Iodine Brothers. The blistering rocker chronicles the tale of a desperate man on the verge of losing everything – everything except for his guiding light\, the grass-skirted hula doll that is perched atop the dash of his family car.  Pathetic?  Perhaps.  But in the vein of John Updike\, one of Kirk and Fulks’s mutual literary heroes\, the story unfolds over two careening minutes and humorously evokes the downward spiral of one of Updike’s hapless male protagonists of yore.  “Dashboard Hula Doll” also pays tribute in spirit to another of Kirk and Fulks’s heroes\, beloved NRBQ guitarist Big Al Anderson\, whose tongue in cheek compositions and ferocious guitar playing clearly informed the mood of the recording.  \n Bikini Jardine’s sprawling and homespun-but-high fidelity atmosphere was the result of an unusually productive writing period during the pandemic.  With live performances curtailed for nearly two years\, Kirk began writing and playing guitar in earnest at his home in Los Angeles\, and a 15-song album took shape more quickly than any of his prior three albums had transpired.  Some of the two volume LP’s songs are among the quietest Kirk has recorded and are largely acoustic with layered vocals; others qualify as the heaviest music he has committed to record\, with aggressive and distorted guitars\, loud and lurching drums\, and chaotic keyboards all part of the mix.  Many of the lead vocals were cut live with the band while the takes went down; a handful of the recordings were made by Kirk alone\, performing and layering vocals and instruments one by one.  The songs frequently reference the locales near where they were written: the neighborhoods around the east side of LA near Kirk’s home\, an abandoned 19th century barn in a field in Massachusetts\, a small apartment on Lake Como in northern Italy.  Kirk cites the Beach Boys’ Friends\, double albums by the Beatles and Rolling Stones\, Stevie Wonder’s Music of My Mind\, the first Paul McCartney solo album\, XTC’s Apple Venus volumes 1 and 2\, and Marisa Monte’s Infinito Particular\, along with the work of Gabriel Orozco\, Beatriz Milhazes\, and Ray Johnson\, as constellations of reference for Bikini Jardine.  Inspired by such topics as visual art\, geography\, friendship\, culinary epiphany\, lost love\, and class dichotomy\, Bikini Jardine paints a sonic landscape grounded in humanity and in-the-moment musical interplay\, and whose songs’ shambolic cohesion grapples with the vagaries and complexities of 21st century life.   \n“Kimon Kirk can nail longing and regret and an existential shrug all in one lyric. His music makes me restless\, makes me want to put down whatever book I’m reading and go out in the world to see what I’m missing and he’s not.”  — Maureen Corrigan (NPR) \n“Exceptionally strong pop songs\, often with a reflective slant\, but with the irrepressible feeling of the best power pop.” — Heaven Magazine\, Netherlands \n“In a world in which masterful melodic songwriting and rich\, understated production were king\, philosopher-poet Kimon Kirk would rule with a velvet fist. Beautifully crafted pop in the Wilson-McCartney vein\, via Andy Partridge.” — Alex Rubens (Key & Peele\, Community) \nSyd Straw\n \nSyd Straw — a singer-songwriter who delivers her haunting\, evocative lyrics in a fierce and elegant way — sips coffee\, like me\, at 6 a.m.\, while our neighbors sleep. \n“It’s all ours\,” she says. “I read\, think and look around the world\, let (her dog) Mossimo out\, walk around the yard … look at the moon.” \nHer home in rural Vermont\, surrounded by trees and a vegetable garden\, harbors memories of her parents\, film and TV actor Jack Straw (“The Pajama Game\,” “Don’t Drink the Water”) and songwriter Barrie Jean Garvin. The quiet of the early hours heightens her senses and enables her to do some creative thinking. \n“Thoughts come to me that have been lurking in the hidden recesses of the cranium\, in those early darkened moments\,” she says. “I think of things that have been there all along; it’s great to consult your inner workings. I do write a lot in those morning hours.” \nDo these writings become songs? \n“I don’t even think of what it might become when I write. It’s more about an expression of my friendship with words.” \nStraw will perform at a sold-out show at 503 Social Club in Hoboken on Sept. 21\, accompanied by Don Piper (whom she has been playing with since 2001) on guitar\, Dave Schramm on guitar\, and Gary Langol on keyboards. She will also perform in New York\, in the fall\, at a venue TBA. \nWhat should we expect in Hoboken? \n“It’s all going to be heavily scripted\,” she joked. “I would say that one thing my shows are noted for is a certain abundance of spontaneity. And I’m going to do a few songs to honor our departed good friend Anton Fier from Golden Palominos. I’m definitely going to do a few new songs and a few worldwide mega hits as well.” \nREGAN KELLY\nSYD STRAW\nStraw performed on the Golden Palominos albums Visions of Excess (1985) and Blast of Silence (1986)\, after launching her career as a backing vocalist for Pat Benatar. She also has sung on albums by artists such as Wilco\, Rickie Lee Jones\, Marshall Crenshaw and Freedy Johnston. \nIn 1989\, she released her debut solo album\, Surprise\, which featured Fier\, Richard Thompson\, Ry Cooder and others. She recorded her second album War and Peace (1996) with the band The Skeletons. \nIn 2008\, she released the majestic Pink Velour on her own label\, Earnester. Showcasing her depth and direct\, poetic storytelling\, she shares her heart on songs about family disharmony\, romance and loss. Several of these songs make me teary\, including the title track\, which is about her fractured family\, and “About to Forget\,” in which she imagines life after she loses her beloved dog. \nShe sang it recently at a neighbor’s party honoring a friend who loved dogs. “It was good because people came up to me and said\, ‘You made me cry\,’ ” she said. “I like it when a song hits the mark and has its purpose. I want my songs to be useful because I’m fairly useless. I want my songs to circulate in the world and come in handy.” \nShe said her song “Unraveling” is useful “because we all lose our dads and that song came to me line by line by line. It floated up the river to me while my dad was dying of lung cancer and I was taking care of him. \n“His illness and his need for help brought me from my home in Chicago back to Vermont and it was such a strange\, beautiful\, fraught\, unforgettable\, important period of life\, helping him through his primal unwinding.” \nWhen people are moved by your songs\, I would register that as a sign of success. \n“This is the truth\,” she said. “I think that’s what it’s all about\, Alfie.” \nThe cover of Syd Straw’s 2008 album “Pink Velour.”\nThe song “Pink Velour” captures the feeling that there is nothing quite like going home. \n“I like your thought of ‘nothing like home\,’ ” she said\, adding that “we fall in love with the people we associate with those places at least as much as we fall in love with the actual geographical places.” \nHer song “Storm Warning” makes me sit up\, struck by its Beatles-influenced sound and lyrics and lessons I could have used when I was 22. In it\, she asks a suitor to “give me back my kisses\,” describes falling in love with his intellect and crossing the sea to see if he was the one for her. \n“Years and years ago\, I got a letter in the mail\,” she said. “This man who had intellectually compelled me over the years said\, ‘Would you ever consider coming here for New Year’s Eve? What if I send a plane ticket?’ And I was just lonesome enough to do it. \n“It was pretty calamitous. Even before I left\, I was run off the road by a bad driver and my car skittered off to an icy field\, and I thought maybe I shouldn’t get on a plane. But I am a romantic seeker.” \nShe sings\, in this song: \nYou guard your feelings so well.\nIn another language\, I can see the damage.\nYou’d think that I would know by now\nMen will say anything to get what they want from you.\nTo make the birdie sing.\nYou said that you like birds a lot; this one is flying.\nI’ll be gone in the morning.\nWhy am I so good at ignoring a storm warning? \nAre you still the same way or do you heed storm warnings? \n“I am the same way\, only much older\,” she said. “I am far more reticent than I used to be with tossing my heart around. I used to always have at least one crush brewing. I feel like that’s just not what I’m thinking about now. I want to work. My passion is to work. \n“My last relationship was very rough. There’s nothing very good about it. That was a while ago. I’ve reprioritized. It definitely made me anxious about men\, which is a huge generalization. But it did. I’ve had dangerous\, unwarranted encounters with some pretty powerful men and I don’t ever want to allow myself to be hurt again.” \nThe cover of Syd Straw’s 1996 album “War and Peace.”\nHer song “CBGB’s” (listen below) from War and Peace is about an exuberant part of her musical journey. \n“Living in New York was always a good time because I lived there when artists could afford to\,” Straw said. “I always had fun at CBGB and that song has come in handy. It’s funny that a song can outlive the actual club. It’s a nice way to remember that club. \n“I remember its grimy\, decadent glory very vividly. I played there in the last week of its existence. They let me curate a night there. I asked a band called The Revelons to be on the bill and they were fantastic.” \nHer song “Howl” (see video below)\, also on War and Peace\, is intense\, provocative and clever\, with an infectious melody. I can imagine Lucinda Williams covering this song beautifully. \nShe sings like she’s telling a secret: \nSleep with me like a dog\, you man\nSleep with me like a man\, you dog of a man\nSleep with me\, sleep with me\, sleep with me\, sleep with me\nI want to make you howl\nI want to make you howl\nI gave you everything I had\nI must say you took it just like a man.\nIf all men are dogs\, what’s a dog?\nIf all men are dogs\, what then is a man? \n“The Stranger I Live With” from Pink Velour would be\, she thinks\, a good duet with Williams. “We used to hang out (in 1992). I love her. At my last apartment in New York on East 6th Street one night Lucinda Williams\, David Mansfield\, Gurf Morlix\, Marc Ribot and I sat around playing music and that was such a great luxury. And I remember saying\, ‘Does anybody still do this?’ ” \nPink Velour features a delicate love song\, “Marry Me\,” with lyrics perfectly describing the hopes and dreams of couples headed to the altar. The first line is: “What are you doing the rest of your life?/That’s how it starts\, that’s how it starts.” This is a quintessential wedding song that I recommend for anyone planning a wedding. \n“I wrote that song driving 80 miles an hour on the Taconic Parkway\,” Straw said. “I was driving down to sing at the great writer Mary Gaitskill’s wedding to the great Peter Trachtenberg in Red Hook\, New York. They wanted me to sing ‘Perfect Day’ by Lou Reed. I arrived on time to sing the song when we had champagne and cake. It was a miracle I got there. I wrote the lyrics on the directions and they flew out my truck window. \n“It’s so pure and all true. I’ve sung it at several weddings now … It’s really come in handy. We should probably do that\, too (in Hoboken).” \nPink Velour chronicles her parent’s divorce “and it wasn’t pretty\,” she said. “I still feel the pain of both of my parents and I still feel their lonesome ache. I think that’s a big impetus behind some of my music. \n“My parents were very talented\, singular\, lonesome humans. I sometimes wonder if that’s hereditary. My mother said to me when she was dying\, ‘After I die\, what are you gonna write about?’ And I said\, ‘Mom\, I’m going to write about the pain of leaving you and how it’s killing me to lose you.’ ” \nSyd Straw in a ’90s publicity photo.\nThough memories of their pain inform her music and life\, she moves forward\, enjoying nature and her dogs. “That’s the easy part of it\,” she said. “This whole summer I’ve had a couple of big\, wonderful shows\, but apart from that I’ve just been holed up here\, growing four kinds of tomatoes and two kinds of basil … and just lollygagging with my 14-year-old\, increasingly blind\, deaf hound Mossimo. Where’s my ambition? It’s hiding under a rock somewhere\, but I’m enjoying the hell out of it. I appreciate every leaf and every bird. I’m surrounded by trees and I’m lucky to have this.” \nOur conversation was punctuated by her irreverent humor and candor. \n“I was born in California in 1702\,” she said. \nThat was a good year. \n“Yes\, and at 6 months of youth\, I demanded that my parents buy a country inn in Vermont and get out of the Hollywood rat race\,” she said. \nYou were forward thinking. \n“Yeah\, I was\, and now I’m thinking in reverse. I am living in the house that I inherited when my dad died and I’m ever so grateful for it in this spot of woods and chalets. \n“I know these little dirt roads a little too intimately — I have been here for a long time\, bouncing away from here and bouncing back. I very much love Vermont\, but in all my days I’ve never really sorted out much of a way to work here. I do my private work — my writing and thinking and existing — here\, but (there are) not a lot of jobs here … I always have to bounce out to other places of interest\, to work.” \nThere’s a unique feeling of peace to live in the place where you grew up\, or to visit it. \n“Yes\, there’s comfort in knowing the trees and there’s comfort in being able to walk out the door and see the sky\, but sometimes familiarity can be tormenting — depends on your mood. When you’re feeling really good and sunshiny\, all the birds’ singing sounds so wonderful\, but if you’re blue they can sound malevolent and you wish they’d be quiet.” \nDo you find yourself missing what is no longer there from your childhood? \n“I miss my dad tremendously and I miss my two dogs that were here\,” she said. \nShe also misses neighbors who have died. “My whole town is about 300 or 400 people and about only half of them live here. I’ve watched everyone turn 90\, 95\, 100\, and I’ve sung ‘Amazing Grace’ at all of their funerals. I’m hoping that some new vibrant\, colorful\, creative\, artistic left-brain people move up here.” \nThe cover of Syd Straw’s 1989 album “Surprise.”\nHow do your new songs compare with those you’ve already released? \n“My subjects have gone from being alive to staying alive\,” she laughed. They focus on “the art of having a creative life and keeping a roof over your head even if it leaks.” \nStraw also has been working on a musical called “Noah’s Dumpster.” “I have been working on this for the last six years and I’ve got some swingin’ songs for it and some of them are written with Marc Ribot\,” she said. “I’m mostly doing it by myself. I’m really looking forward to playing them very soon.” \nIn June\, she performed at British singer-songwriter Linda Thompson’s release party for her album Proxy Music at City Winery in New York\, alongside a cast of friends who reconnected her with her music community\, including New Jersey residents David Mansfield and Tammy Faye Starlite\, and Linda Thompson’s son Teddy Thompson. \n“It was a gorgeous show\, one for the ages\,” Straw said. “The audience was so buzzy and receptive. They were enjoying it so much.” \n“I have loved Syd’s voice ever since I heard her with The Golden Palominos\, and her song ‘Future 40’s (String of Pearls)’ still lives in my heart\, as does Syd\,” Starlite said. (Watch video for “Future 40’s\,” below.) “She is a brilliant and sui generis artist\, and one thing she once said (in an MTV interview) became my mantra: ‘You cannot stand over a rose and beseech it to unfurl.’ I love her.” \nStraw recently collaborated on the song “Take Back the Night” with the artist The Dark Bob. It’s about the movement to make the streets safe for women. “People who started the movement are in the video\,” Straw said. “I want safety. If we all looked out for each other\, the whole axis of the world would tilt in a beautiful direction. It’s too bad that we have to be on defense our whole female lives. I don’t want to deal with any more bad men.” \nStraw spoke about the many musicians lost during COVID years\, as well as her close friend\, KCRW-FM DJ Deirdre O’Donoghue\, who died in 2001. \n“I miss those days when you were pals with DJs\,” she said. “She was my true sister and friend. I have lost people who have championed me. Now I have to champion myself. \n“I think that entertainment is a dangerous art form. A lot of my bandmates have perished. My parents\, a long time ago. I feel these songs acutely now. It’s great for anyone to find a way in this world to express one’s feelings in a viable way that other people can appreciate. I think it’s important that people keep listening and reading and I want to be a part of that. I want to put a lot more music out in the world.” \n \nFor more on Syd Straw\, visit facebook.com/syd.straw or sydstrawmusic.bandcamp.com.

SUMMARY:Miss Emily
DESCRIPTION:MISS EMILY Releases New Album And Title Track Single “The Medicine” \nJUNO-nominated and Maple Blues Award winning Miss Emily returns with her new album\, The Medicine. Released by Gypsy Soul Records on November 7th\, the album is produced by Grammy winner Colin Linden (Keb’ Mo’\, Bob Dylan\, Lucinda Williams\, Gregg Allman\, Diana Krall). To coincide\, the focus track “The Medicine” will also be released. \nThe title track “The Medicine” is an empathetic plea to understand one of the most complex issues of our times. It was written after a family member of an overdose victim reached out to Emily to write a song representing the victims and families affected by overdose. \nThe new album blends soul\, blues\, and roots\, and features an all-star cast of musicians at the top of their game. Including players from Bob Dylan and Keb’ Mo’s bands\, the new album pairs her thunderous voice with songs of truth and resilience. Known for her powerful voice and exhilarating live shows\, Miss Emily channels two decades of raw experience into music that heals and uplifts. \nMiss Emily has a voice that demands your attention. She is never predictable. She values community above all else. For more than 20 years she has channelled those principles in her songwriting and performance\, never shying away from an open conversation with her audience about the struggles she has faced.

SUMMARY:Amazing Singer/Songwriter Rupert Wates
DESCRIPTION:“Trust me\, Rupert Wates is an exceedingly rare talent.” “Truly gripping lyrics with great themes and troubling\, witty messages. An inspirational artist.” “A fantastic song writer and a mesmerizing guitar player.” \nOn his album Eligies:\nRupert possesses a very emotive voice which\, when combined with his sublime finger style guitar playing\, provides the perfect vehicle to deliver this set of sensitive songs. All songs have been written by Rupert with just a bit of inspirational help from Keats\, Tennyson and Coleridge\, amongst others. \nI have been trying to select one song which personifies Rupert’s approach to his music and provides a window into his mind. After a few listens\, I have gone for “On A Midsummer Morning” a song about the loss of youth. It is both simple and beautiful in equal measures.\nhttps://www.fatea-records.co.uk/magazine/reviews/RupertWates5/?fbclid=IwAR08rLIf6OOFAfCOGHqJYlXSVnc16Wp3i0Sp_cVGRaiUU994-Y2ekjJv02s \nhttps://www.rupertwatesmusic.com/

SUMMARY:Éilís Kennedy with Adam Hendey
DESCRIPTION:West Kerry\, Ireland’s Éilís Kennedy will sing at Brick Hill House Concerts in Orleans on Tuesday\, September 17 at 7:30 pm.\nDoors open at 7:00pm\nSuggested donation is $25 \nSo Ends This Day is the title of my new record. \nA collection of songs . Some hearken back to the days of Whaling in the 1800’s which I wrote based on reading letters \, ship’s logs and personal journals from that time. The remainder are traditional old songs – each with a connection to a particular ship. A wife left behind \, a wife on board\, an adventurous young man \, a brave and wise captain \, an ill- fated voyage\, a drowning \, a rescue\, an elegy \, and a song of hope in times of despair.\nCaptain George Anthony would often sign off the daily entry to his ship’s log using the phrase “So Ends This Day” \, in his strong cursive handwriting. I like the phrase and thought it befitted this collection .
