danhenkel

Hello, Music Lovers:

We'll announce the next season of the Indy Folk Series soon.
Meanwhile, here are two concerts at the same great venue (UUI) that you'll want to note:
Saturday, August 1: Emily Pinkerton
Friday, August 14: Jim Scott

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis (UUI) is excited to announce two great concerts coming up in August featuring UU musicians.

Emily Pinkerton
Saturday, August 1, 7 pm
Unitarian UniversalistChurch of Indianapolis
615 W. 43rd St (Map at www.uui.org )
$10/$5 students

Jim Scott
Friday, August 14, 7pm

$10 in advance/$12 at the door
Advance tickets can be purchased at the UUI office
Emily Pinkerton: an ethnomusicologist whose music spans from Appalachia to the Andes

When she lays down South American grooves on guitar, audiences are hard-pressed to tell that Emily Pinkerton is a native of the Midwest. Born and raised in Valparaiso, Indiana,her musical education carried her to Valpara�so, Chile, inspiring a decade of immersion in Latin American music. Her latest release weaves these two worlds together in a vibrant, transcontinental tapestry. Evocative, haunting vocals in Spanish and English soar above pulsating rhythms of Andean guitar and old-time banjo. www.emilypinkerton.com

Jim Scott: a well-known UU activist/artist whose music covers ecology, justice,and peace
(And a much-loved veteran of the Indy Folk Series)

Years of activism are reflected in Jim's work. His songs, poetry and short stories address issues of ecology, justice and peace with insight and gentle wit. As a member of the Paul Winter Consort, Jim was co-creator of the monumental choral work Missa Gaia/Earth Mass. As a UU, he created "The Earth and Spirit Songbook," a collection of over 100 songs of earth and peace by many contemporary composers, and helped create the "Green Sanctuary" program, a framework used by congregations of all denominations to promote good stewardship of the earth. His musical creativity has produced published choral works, soundtracks for PBS, a stage musical, many recordings of songs and concert collaborations with renowned Jazz, Classical, and Folk artists. www.jimscottsongs.com

See you then, music lovers--and stay tuned for the announcement of the 2009-2010 series of the fabulous Indy Folk Series.

danhenkel

Check it out, music lovers:

We're starting our ninth season (!) in style, with the Indy debut of Grammy Award-winner Barbara Bailey Hutchison (www.bbhsings.com ). She's sung at the White House (three times) and on hundreds of commercials. She's been voted "Best Solo Performer," "Best Acoustic Performer," and "Best Female Performer" in a national magazine poll, so I'd say she's ready to play the fabulous Indy Folk Series.

Saturday, September 19: Indy Folk Series Presents Barbara Bailey Hutchison
7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
UUI (Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis)
615 West 43rd St. (Just south of Butler University)
Map at www.uui.org
www.bbhsings.com

$10 (12 and under free)
Coffee, wine and snacks available
www.indyfolkseries.org

About Barbara Bailey Hutchison
What kind of music does she sing? Good question. Her music defies categorization. Her lyric driven, melodic, often humorous, alternative folk music speaks to issues of tolerance and human rights, as well as personal relationships and funny circumstances. She writes much of what she presents, and has gained critical acclaim for her work. Inspired by experience, hers are songs in which everyone can find themselves.

Dakota Records, the independent record label responsible for eleven of the singer's seventeen albums, was started by Hutchison, because she "...just didn't fit the major label mold", and she wanted to maintain more control over the content and production of her music. Singer-songwriter, Gene Cotton, produced three of her CDs including "Reconcile", her critically acclaimed "Christmas" CD, and a CD for children, "Cat In The Sink".

About the Indy Folk Series
www.indyfolkseries.org
Now in its ninth season, the Indy Folk Series is a non-profit venture presenting selected acoustic music in a comfortable, coffeehouse setting. The series showcases nationally known and local performers playing folk, bluegrass, Celtic and other styles.

Candles on the tables hearken back to coffeehouses of the 1970s. First-rate acoustics and a friendly atmosphere put artists and audience at ease. Refreshments include coffee, wine and a tempting array of snacks.

See you soon, music lovers--and thanks for supporting live acoustic music!

Open Mic Night: Saturday, Nov. 28

Feelingthankful? (Of course you are--please reflect for a moment.)

Share the feeling on Saturday, Nov. 28 with a houseful of artists pitching in to benefit a great cause. It's Open Mic Night for the Indy Folk Series. This time, your tunes and contributions benefit Somethin' to Crow About, which brings transformative art experiences (and much-needed art supplies) to kids in low-income schools. (You'll enjoy a brief video at http://www.youtube.co/watch?v=PzQLb34k79s).

Open Mic Night features a series of solo and ensemble performers, each playing about 10 minutes or so (typically, three songs.) We've been told to expect some longtime favorites as well as performers new to the series--and you never know who will drop in to try new material or musical partners. Open Mic Night is a vehicle for rookies as well as veterans who enjoy the easy atmosphere and great sound (Hint: look for some delightful gems from our favorite Austrian soprano.)

6:00 p.m. Artists sign up (be there at 6:00 to make sure you get a place!)
7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Performance

Unitarian Universalist Church of Indianapolis (UUI), 615 West 43rd St., Indianapolis.

It's official, acoustic music lovers:

The Indy Folk Series, that bastion of traditional (musical) values, has determined that "This Internet thing may work out after all", to quote an unnamed IFS official.

We're now on Facebook! Soon, we may start tweeting. We promise never to hack the Pentagon, though heavy-metal Web sites should take the usual precautions.

Please check out our Facebook page and become our friend (in that way, I mean.)

But, first, (groovy) old media

First, though, catch Dan's interview with Sharon Gamble on "The Art of the Matter" on WFYI 90.1 FM this Friday (Jan. 29) at 8:00 p.m. and Saturday at 4:00 p.m. We share a few laughs and talk about the rest of the Indy Folk Series season.

Then, save Saturday, Feb. 20, for the return of Tim Grimm. Tim is one of Indiana's most beloved artists, and his previous concert was a highlight of our 2003-2004 season.

Subject: Indy Folk Series: Tim and Jan Grimm triumphed!

danhenkel

Hello, music lovers:

Tim Grimm and Jan Lucas Grimm delivered the goods last night in the form of two sets of finely honed, personal, evocative, roots-based music. They were at their best, with harmonies, banter and rapport that swept up everyone in the room.

That room, the sanctuary-turned-concert-hall at UUI, had never sounded so good and never held so many for one of our concerts. It was magic, and aiding the artistry were Karl Zemlin's Sonic Artistry and the efforts of a juiced-up committee of volunteer co-producers.

Look for the magic to happen again on Saturday, March 20, when we hear the Maple Trio--three masters on a slew of string instruments. You've heard them as the musical core of Blueprint Music, and perhaps on their recordings. Catch them live in the ultimate listening room.

Meanwhile, check out the Indy Folk Series on Facebook. Enjoy Karl's photos and join the conversation.

Thanks to all who make the magic happen--and who support live acoustic music.
It matters.

Subject: New Date for Maple Trio (March 27)

danhenkel

(Change is good, right?)

Please note, music lovers:

The next Indy Folk Series event is March 27 (not March 20 as previously announced).

The Maple Trio is on a tear and we're excited to have a chance to hear them in the wonderful IFS listening-room setting. Scott Shoger gave the trio high marks in NUVO with his review of their new album, Samara.

As Scott puts it, the Maple Trio "transmutes the raw material of American music into something that's not quite classical, not quite folk, not easily classified. Their work is skillfully executed, ambitious and experimental, with a breathy, organic texture consistent with the group's adoration of nature, trees above all. It's in the same vein as the Appalachian Waltz record featuring three giants (Yo-Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer)." Sounds irresistible, doesn't it? It is.

The Maple Trio is Matt Koher, Grover Parido, and Doug Sauter. The trio instrumentation includes violin, mandolin, guitar, cello, and banjo.Genre influences include traditional fiddle tunes, classical, ragtime, jazz, and tango. This gives the trio a cross-generational, cross-cultural appeal.

Have you found the IFS on Facebook yet? Please become a member if you do Facebook. There are shots from Tim Grimm's full-house performance Feb. 20, as well as comments from fellow music lovers.

Joe Peters & Linda Hicks

Enjoy the interplay of two singer-songwriters who are frequent collaborators. Joe Peters' songs hearken back to a time when young people sought the experience of peace, love and adventure and expressed this search in their music. Many of Joe's songs are influenced by eastern philosophies and were written while living and working overseas. Linda Hicks' music draws from the influences of bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, traditional, and contemporary folk music. Rich Warren of Sing Out! Magazine says "Not only can she write, but she also knows how to choose excellent songs and deliver them with sensitivity and conviction."

Open Mic Night with violinist and cultural ambassador William Harvey

Benefits Afghanistan National Institute of Music

Open Mic Night brings out an array of talent each Thanksgiving weekend. Pros try out new material; aspiring performers get a stage and warm reception. This year, proceeds from Open Mic Night will help train Afghan children, including orphans and street children, in western classical music and traditional Afghan music. Violinist William Harvey, a Juilliard graduate who founded Cultures in Harmony, teaches at the Afghanistan National Institute of Music in Kabul.

Sing! Uprising (singalong)

A favorite pastime and a first for the Indy Folk Series. The audience becomes the show as professionals, amateurs and civilians share in a spontaneous evening of music making. Dissipate the winter doldrums with song. Bring instruments and a copy of "Rise Up Singing" if you like. Proceeds will benefit a worthy cause.

February 19

Deep Fryed Acoustiblasters

The Deep Fryed Acoustiblasters play a mixture of Bluegrass, Blues, New-Acoustic, Rock and Jazz in an all-acoustic format. DFAB is made up of rock-solid players who bring their experience and maturity together to create captivating, soul-stirring rhythms � sometimes recalling the roots of original Bluegrass, other times breaking the boundaries to move listeners into a new era between tradition and progression. The energy of the Deep Fryed Acoustiblasters is complemented by four uniquely distinct voices. Individually, they offer an audience vocal variety, but combined bring it together for a perfectly harmonious blend.

March 19

Bobbie Lancaster

Bobbie Lancaster showed promise as a classical singer but found her voice in Americana, blues, roots and original music. Her performance was hailed as a highlight of the popular "Hoosier Springsteen" show, and she was chosen for the top-flight cast of "Pure Prine" at the Phoenix Theatre in Indianapolis. Mike Kelsey of WFHB radio calls her "An amazing performer whose energy can transform a stage." According to NUVO newsweekly, "The woman can crank it up like Bonnie Raitt & Sheryl Crow."

Davis & Devitt

Sharlee Davis and Will Devitt have taken their rootsy blend of folk rock, blues, country and acoustic pop/jazz to countless audiences throughout the Midwest. They have shared the stage with k.d.lang, John Prine, Cowboy Junkies, Greg Brown, Tuck and Patti and Carrie Newcomer to name a few. Inventive guitar, strong vocals and great songs all add up to a unique and exciting sound heralded by critics and fans alike. Their latest CD "body of water" is a tasteful collection of new Davis/Devitt originals.

May 21

Cosy Sheridan

Cosy Sheridan has been called "one of the era's finest and most thoughtful singer/songwriters." She has played everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Philadelphia Folk Festival and is the winner of numerous songwriting awards. Her music has appeared in best-selling author Robert Fulghum's book Third Wish, as well as on The Dr. Demento Show and NPR's Car Talk. In her critically acclaimed new CD Eros (WindRiver), Sheridan weaves a cycle of songs about love.

Cosy Sheridan first appeared on the national folk scene in 1992 when she won the songwriting contests at both the Kerrville Folk Festival and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and released her critically acclaimed CD Quietly Led on Waterbug Records. Folk Music Quarterly wrote: "When she's accepting her Grammy, we can say we knew her when."
