8:30 PAUL WALLFISCH
"...Wallfisch's
songs are intensely personal and completely unclassifiable, finding
humor in the grotesque; slashing a path through the urban wilderness;
reveling in rural solitude and exploring curious and foreign lands..."
9:00 CURTIS ELLER
CURTIS ELLER is
New York City's angriest yodelling banjo player. He sings about pigeon
racing, performing elephants and Jesus, all of which he has seen with
his own eyes. He started his show-business career at the age of seven
as a juggler and acrobat in the Hiller Olde Tyme Circus in Detroit, but
has since turned to the banjo because that's where the money is. His
biggest musical influences are Buster Keaton, Elvis Presley and Abraham
Lincoln.
On the lastest American Circus CD "Wirewakers & Assassins"
Mr. Eller presents songs about John Wilkes Booth, Joe Louis, Fidel
Castro, Jack Ruby and Richard Nixon (as well as the usual tales of
Civil War generals and Elvis Presley). Mr Eller's tune "Alaska" was
voted "2003's most Popular" on NPR's All Songs Considered. The music
has the unmistakable sound of a pistol being fired in an abandoned salt
mine: lonesome and violent. As Mark Twain once said: " A gentleman is a
man who knows how to play the banjo and doesn't." http://www.curtiseller.com
10:00 BLISS BLOOD
“Take your grandmother or your sweetheart; either will leave humming.” – The New Yorker
“ …provides a perfect sort of escapism for crazed city folk.” – Time Out New York
“Sweet, sad, and more than a bit surreal…a sound you haven’t heard before” – The Village Voice
Bliss Blood is a Gotham institution. Bring the family. http://www.blissblood.com
11:00 LARRY BANG BANG
LARRY
BANG BANG SAYS: - I play the finest in Countrytrash, Latinobilly and
Comedy since 2003… Larry Bang Bang is an alpine Cowboy from
Switzerland. He likes to tell around he has roots in Salami, Texas.
Hard to find out the truth about it, for Larry is travelling around the
world, collecting Songs and Languages of various cultures, and adapting
them skilfully to his own character and musical program. Once he
discovered, that most of the folk-music styles (from Swiss/German over
the Balkans to the Celtic and even the Greek and Turkish) seem to be
based on simple Country-music Rhythms, there was nothing holding him
from experimenting and combining them all together to a weird
multi-cultural melting pot, which turns out as Larry’s very personal
interpretation of “Country” – music and – attitude. Larry has played
hundreds of Concerts all over Europe: in Ireland, Slovenia, Germany,
Turkey, France, Italy, Greece, Austria and …Switzerland. On his
never-ending tour, he became the experienced and wise man he is today.
He played in the streets as well as on distinguished theatre-stages. At
Bolivian Marriages and in black forest – Bikerclubs. !!!!PLEASE LOOK
FOR MY PAINTINGS TOO!!!! http://www.myspace.com/countrypsycho
Have a great summer and hope to see you soon!
