Smokin Grass Music

John Sommers/Defiance String Band Final Episode

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 12:56:32 +0000

Over the past year I have met some EXTREMELY talented and gracious people. I am fortunate to have been able to fulfill a lifelong dream to broadcast and meet fine people such as this weeks interview. John Martin Sommers is a member of the Defiance String Band (Defiance was the name of Glenwood Springs Co.) and even more he has had a prestigious career spanning over 40 years. John has been a part of the Aspen (Co.) music scene since the late 1960s. He has met a number of artists who have “made it” and been a part of the movement that put them there. John Sommers was in John Denver’s band for a bit and John Denver recorded a few of John Sommers’ songs. Listen to the podcast to find out which ones. Thank you Don Kaufman and Defiance String Band for allowing me to share your friend and your music with the world. This will be the final episode of Smokin’ Grass Music. What a way to go out.

Anne and Pete Sibley Ep. 26

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:05:31 +0000

The duet that I interviewed this week seem to lived a charmed life. They are a very nice couple (married), with a beautiful daughter, living in one of the most beautiful places on earth. No wonder the music they make is as fine and emotion filled as it is. These young folks have an interesting story and an interesting career ahead of them. They have four CDs out (including a Christmas CD) that are available on CD Baby and Itunes. Check out their website and blog at www.anneandpetesibley.com . You can also find them on Facebook. The only other thing I can think to say is listen to this podcast to get the whole story.

Lonesome Traveler Ep. 25

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 16:13:59 +0000

This week I am featuring a “GREEN” band. No, they are not new to the biz. Lonesome Traveler is trying to reduce their carbon footprint. They use a bus that runs on alternative fuel and the products they have for sale are made of organic cotton and recycled materials.

Along with being friendly to the Earth, they are a joy to the ears. These folks have been together five years and they still like each other well enough to be able to practice together twice a week and play over one hundred fifty gigs a year. There are some family connections that you will hear in the interview.

Jodi was kind enough to spend her time to tell me about her feelings on the Bluegrass industry in general and how she feels about the Indie scene in Colorado.

I was fortunate enough to get out to Bar Double S a couple of nights later and see Lonesome Traveler live. The whole band was cordial and gracious. They are so tight. It is obvious that they are more than a band. They are a family.

Mountain Holler Episode 24

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 13:50:49 +0000

This week I had the PLEASURE of interviewing a band from a REAL mountain town. A Colorado mountain town. Mountian Holler is from Bailey Colorado. They started out as a pickup band to help out a venue owner/friend and ended up the superb band that you will hear in this podcast. They are tight and they keep their breaks clean. I love the harmonies. The senior member of the band (Warren the banjo player) is quiet or interview shy but, when he opens up, look out. When Warren spoke about the history of the Indie movement in Colorado and his latest influences, I was glad I called him out to answer that question. To top it all off, Emily (mandolin), the youngest member of the band was comic relief and quirky. The whole package made the interview easy to do. I want to really THANK this band for taking the time to speak to me. I didn’t get all of their available music into this Podcast but, don’t fret. The music is available for free download or streaming at the band website www.moutainhollerbluegrass.com . Here is the short playlist:

1.Big Mon

2.East Virginia Blues

3.I Still Miss Someone

4.Jerusalem Ridge

5.Memories of Mother and Dad

6.More Than A Name On The Wall

7.Old Home Place

8.Talk It All Over with Him

Buckvillians Interview and music from the Hartmans EP23

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 07:59:42 +0000

The BuckVillians have their own unique twist on Bluegrass. They call it Black and Bluegrass. I will let the band explain that to you in the interview. What a great group of Colorado Indie musicians. They expect to have a CD out in the late fall or early winter. Keep an eye of their page for that debut CD and new merchandise. Meanwhile; come out and support the Northern Colorado Bluegrass Festival at LaPorte Colorado, just north and west of Ft. Collins on highway 287, September 5,2010 from 12n-8p Mtn time. Tickets are $12 at the door or $10 when purchased in advance at www.buckvillians.com or nocobluegrass.eventbrite.com . There will be vendors, food, libations and most of all GREAT Colorado Indie Bluegrass music. Four bands $12, you can’t beat that with a big stick.

The bonus tracks on this Podcast are by previously featured band, The Hartmans. These young musicians are advanced for their young years. I really enjoy their sound and look forward to meeting them at the Northern Colorado Bluegrass Festival. Check both these bands websites, www.buckvillians.com and www.thehartmanfamilyband.com .

The Farewell Drifters Interview Ep 22

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:29:39 +0000

There is so much to be said of these young men (ages 24 to early 30s) that I barely know where to begin. Let’s start with their musical talents. I believe that each of these men are so intent on being the very best musician that they can be that they have practiced and gigged themselves into a level of playing that is well beyond their time spent practicing. Each is a dedicated and professional player. Their harmonies are those of singers that have been together for much longer than this group has existed. Their stage presence is HIGH ENERGY. The music and lyrics that they have written hit their intended target (feelings) and the best part is they each tell a story that make sense. I am so pleased to have met this band and watched them in person. I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I did creating it. Check out their web page www.farewelldrifters.com and get their latest album Yellow Tag Mondays. You will get more than your money’s worth from this 14 song CD, for sure.

Here is the Playlist:

01 Love We Left Behind

02 Everyone is Talking

03 For No One

04 Sunnyside Drive

05 All We Need

06 Virginia Bell

07 Love Me Good & Plain

08 River Song

09 Please Dream of Me Tonight

10 I’ve Got Your Heart in My Hand, and I’m Going to Squeez.

11 Old Friends

12 Wake Up

13 Fight to Find Your Way

Henhouse Prowler Interview Ep. 21

smokingrassmusic — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 02:27:12 +0000

The Henhouse Prowlers (Chicago Il.) are a city dwelling Bluegrass band. While their content may not always be traditional in nature their style and form are PURE Bluegrass. They have great harmonies and the instrumentation is next to none. At least that is what the folks in Lyons Colorado are saying. This fine group of musicians came to Colorado this year to make a presence and participate in competitions at festivals. They (rightfully) won the competition at Rockygrass in Lyons Colorado. For those of you that heard my previous feature of the music on “A Dark Rumor” I have added an interview with the bands Banjo player, Ben Wright and some music from a previous release. Enjoy the interview and make sure you get around to their website www.henhouseprowlers.com or check them out on Facebook and Reverbnation. Their two releases (self titled) “Henhouse Prowlers” and the latest “A Dark Rumor” are for sale at CD Baby and in the Itunes Store. If you get a chance to see this great group live, their energetic “Old Style” stage presence is quite the treat.

Here is the playlist:

A Dark Rumor

01 Turn Me Loose

02 Uncle Bubba

03 Simplify

04 Trouble

05 The Ballad of Davey Robinson

06 Angeline Malone

07 10 Miles More

08 Drifter

09 Shadow of a Man

10 Silver Lining

11 Walking Around in the Snow

12 Hadley’s Lament

Two Bonus Tracks:

Young’uns of Bluegrass

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:37:55 +0000

Let’s face it; We ain’t getting any younger. I am so pleased to see that young people are embracing Bluegrass and Traditional music.

This week I am featuring some extremely talented young people. Please listen to the Podcast, look at the playlist and check out some of these musician’s websites. Thanks for listening this week.

Joy Kills Sorrow/Butcher Holler

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:43:10 +0000

This week I am featuring a group that is more Newgrass but, Bluegrass all the same. I love the sounds that come from Joy Kills Sorrow. The traditional sound comes from the Banjo of Wesley Corbett and the Mandolin of Jacob Jolliff. The harmonization with the lead vocal excellence of Emma Baton makes this a delectable desert to the ears. Check them out at their website www.joykillssorrw.com .

I am adding something a little different this week, too. To wrap up this episode, I am also featuring Eilen Jewell on her album Butcher Holler. Eilen does a commendable job of covering Loretta Lynn songs. Not Bluegrass but, some REALLY COOL country music. What a voice! Check out Eilen’s website www.eilenjewell.com .

I would like to thank Signature Sounds for bringing these great artists to my attention. If you would like to find out more about their other artists, check out their website; www.signaturesounds.com . Thanks for checking into this weeks episode.

smokingrassmusic — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:01:02 +0000

I am sorry that this episode is late. I assure you that it will be well worth the wait. This band may not be considered as much a Bluegrass band as much as… I am not even sure there is a genre for this one. They have such a great Blues/Jazz sound. Needless to say they are less than traditional. If you are a traditionalist, listen for the lead female vocal. Aoife O’Donovan has one the most controlled, sweet voices in the industry. My regular listeners have heard it before. I featured Aoife as part of the Beautiful Female Vocals episode over ten weeks back. I read somewhere that here voice tends to be so quiet that when they record that she has to record from a hallway so as not to be overpowered by the strong work of the other members of the group. I could go on and on but you would think that she was the only member of the band and that is just not so.

This is such a talented group of musicians. I hear deliberation in their music. The use of a Cello adds a warmth that makes me want to hear more. This episode is a “Must Hear”. Once you have heard this, get on over to www.crookedstill.com and read more about their latest recordings and gigs.

I want to thank the band for their music and would also like to thank Signature Sounds Recordings for permission to use this music. If you would like to read more about Signature Sounds or their other artists check them out on the web www.signaturesounds.com .

Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 27 May 2010 16:43:03 +0000

The name of the band Dirty Kitchen refers to front man Frank Solivan’s second (though a close second) passion. He is a wizard of the kitchen. There are many kitchen and food references in the music of the master mandolin player; Scourchin’ the Gravy and the song Dirty Kitchen are just two. The old time sound that Frank brings with his mandolin and the very twenty first century lyrics make this group a delicious treat. If you would like to know more about this group you can check their MySpace page www.myspace.com/franksolivan or look him up on Facebook. Their music is for sale on Itunes. I would like to thank Quicksilver productions www.quicksilverproductions.net for bringing this artist to my attention.

Henhouse Prowlers and Spring Creek Bluegrass Band

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 20 May 2010 20:59:43 +0000

This week I am featuring two groups that were brought to my attention by Spring Creek Publicity. I want to thank Garian Vigil. If you would like to book either of these groups contact Garian by email, springcreekbluegrass@gmail.com .

The fist group is the Henhouse Prowlers of Chicago. This quartet hails from all over the United States. Illinois, North Carolina, Upstate New York. Even with the geographical diversity, this group manages to hit that old time, traditional sound right on the proverbial head. While they keep that traditional sound their content is 21^st century. Give them a listen and check out their website at www.henhouseprowlers.com . Their music is for sale there and you can find out where to see them in person.

My second group is Spring Creek Bluegrass Band. You NEED to see their website. www.springcreekbluegrassband.com . It is fun, like a video game. They have music for sale and the latest news and views about the group. These folks are from all over the country, too but it seems they chose Colorado to get together. This summer they will be touring south to Missouri and North Carolina and have a full schedule in Colorado after that. Listen to their music while you play on their website. It is akin to watching an old movie with the sound turned off and listening to music at the same time. Wow, the good old days but I digress. Thanks for listening today and as always, feel free to comment on any of my posts. You may also subscribe to this Podcast at the buttons on the right side of the page or at the Itunes store.

Peavine Creek String Band and Don Summers

smokingrassmusic — Thu, 13 May 2010 15:42:33 +0000

The Peavine Creek String Band was brought to my attention by Don Summers. The band has been around since the mid ’70s and the latest version of the band has been around since 1996. The whole band have been musically inclined since a young age. Some of the members are engaged in the business of teaching music and others are also involved in more than one musical project (band). The beautiful instrumentation (from some well seasoned old instruments) and the warm harmonies create a “Must Hear” , old time listening experience. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. To see more about Peavine Creek String Band look at www.payplay.fm/pcsb , there is a great bio of the band there and you can purchase their music on that site. If you would like to know more about Don Summers or would like to purchase his music contact me directly red.smokingrass@gmail.com .

smokingrassmusic — Fri, 07 May 2010 16:21:05 +0000

This week I am featuring LaMay & Reese of Kentucky USA. This duo not only sings the old time standards they write music that sounds just like it is 100 years old. Listening, is easy for even the most discerning Bluegrass traditionalist. I feel so fortunate to be able to feature this music. If you know old time standards, enjoy this “retro” compilation. If you are new to American traditional music, enjoy the sounds of the REAL thing. To read more about LaMay and Reese check out their website http://www.lamay.com/lamayreese/bio.htm.
