National Folk
Alliance Meeting
From
the Desk of
HAAMsterette April Kelly: |
 |
Hello
HAAMsters!
The National Folk Alliance is coming up soon and
it's time to get our act(s) in gear! The NFA meeting
will be held at JP Hops House, Monday, January 16th,
at 7:30pm. If you have signed on to go or are thinking
about going, you need to make it to this meeting.
(If you absolutely cannot make the meeting, but
would like to get information about what's going
on, please write back to me and let me know. I'll
try to keep you up to speed.) We will be deciding
our game plan for marketing HAAM at the conference
and will start the booking process for the HAAM
Showcase Room. We'll also discuss ways to promote
our group during the conference.
If you are going, be thinking of easy/inexpensive
ways to market HAAM to the masses so that we have
a good turnout in our Showcase Room....Many minds
are so much better than one, so let's do the tribal
thing and put our heads together on this. We have
"HAAMster Power" buttons, thanks to MTM,
and will probably have schedule placards attached
to the buttons to hand out, but let's see if we
can come up with some other creative ways to get
HAAM's name out there. (Anyone know of a giant,
inflatable hamster that we can get cheap? Hamster
hats at a dollar store? Cheap T-Shirts for printing
on?) Even if you are NOT going to go, let me know
if you have some clever ideas on how to get folks
to come to our room after the main showcases...All
for one and one for all!
See you at the meeting!!
Party on, HAAMsters,
:o) April Kelly

Rhett
Butler
How often do you see someone play two guitars
at the same time?
Musician Rhett Butler is renowned for his ability
with the guitar - the University of North Texas
grad can play two instruments at once with greater
ease than most can play one. Butler has built
a reputation for his innovations in guitar and
he is best known for playing two guitars at the
same time.
|
| |
"It's
not jazz, it's not new age, it's not classical,
but the techniques are. It's obsessive-compulsive
guitar music." ~ Rhett |
|
Without
a record deal, the Texan has managed to sell more
than 12,000 CDs of his instrumental guitar music.
Reviews have heralded him as an instrumental genius,
incorporating sounds which stretch across genres.
We are honored to welcome this traveling troubadour
to the JPHH stage.

Fahl
& Folk
The
band Fahl & Folk is the newest vehicle for
David Fahl’s music. The basic sound
is the traditional folkie vocal, acoustic guitar,
and harmonica, with Michael Farber’s electric
bass adding a groove that turns up the energy
level way past the cliched mellow associated (often
in error) with the folksinger trip. This pair
is frequently augmented by Jimmy Deen on acoustic
and electric guitars, and Chaz Nadege on keyboard
and snare drum.
|
The
Fahl & Folk sound is both familiar and innovative.
The instrumentation is simple and familiar-sounding.
The songs hit comfortable grooves and go places
where folksingers are seldom heard. Fahl’s
songs come from a perspective that uses all the
traditions we hear around us and twists them into
new combinations, telling stories about lovers,
murderers, and the helpless schmoes who just have
a hard time dealing with life in this bizarre
new millenium. When the band does a cover tune,
it’s rarely one from the standards of ‘classic
rock’, and it never sounds like the way you’re
used to hearing it.
So come hear for yourself!

Big
Lizard Boys
Comprised of band members Bill Aspinwall, Mike
Crippen and Mike Darnell, Big Lizard Boys incorporate
guitar, banjo, mandolin, bass and harmonica
into an eccentric blend of folk, rock
|
|
and
blues. Influences
include a whole lotta bands (even a few musicians)
(and all their splintered offspring), John Fahey’s
dog, and a whole lotta the classic and contemporary
blues masters. Playing predominantly original
material, they add a few traditional and classic
tunes to their set list and on occasion will bring
out the infamous Cachaça Rhythm Section
for some home brew, front porch, foot-stomping
music with a Texas flavor.
Big
Lizard Boys
has invited Terry Rogers to take part in the fray
as their "special guest" this evening.
Terry will join the band towards the end of the
first set and will be featured on harmonica and
vocals on several songs. Terry is a harmonica
player extraordinaire and plays Chicago style
blues.
