GMG Float To Feature Local Soundtrack For 2011 Horribles Parade- I Want To See All My Homies Shaking Their Tail Feathers!

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

 

Sista Felicia continues her assault on the budget and promises and over-the-top float this year!  It better be, she keeps coming back to me to hit up the wallet.

Title Sponsor Peter Van Ness Writes-

You asked for it.  You got it.  Music.  The best independent music north of Boston will be blasting from the GMG Float on July 3 thanks to Will Hunt (Celebrate Gloucester sound man, who is donating the PA) and all the extraordinary musicians who live here.

We’ve put together the Ultimate Gloucester Area Playlist with music from 2 dozen local artists on gimmesound.com.  ALL THE MUSIC IS LOCAL, INDEPENDENT MUSIC!  Best if all, IT’S EXCELLENT MUSIC.  Rock, pop, blues, soul, indie, jazz, country, celtic, ska, folk, reggae, americana, and more!

What better way to celebrate our independence than with independent music from Gloucester, which is becoming known to have one of the most vibrant music scenes in the US — Austin of the Northeast!

You wanted music, Joey, and you got it.

Here’s a list of some of the local musicians who you’ll hear from the GMG float (alphabetical by First Name — expect a few surprises too):

Allen Estes, Bandit Kings, Bingo Fridays, Chelsea Berry, Dan King, Earl & Arch, Erinn Brown, Everybody’s Neil, Fly Amero, Gary Shane, Henri Smith, Hoodoo Revelator, Inge Berge, Karen Ristuben, Lisa Landy, Michael O’Leary, Mile 21, Pete Lindberg, Runaround Sound, Satch Kerans, Tod Ellyson, Tony Hilliard, Will Hunt, Willie Alexander

Much Thanks To All Of Our Friends and Sponsors Including-

Help building from Bro-In Law Barry, Sista Felicia, Ed Collard, Jeremy Frost Construction and the kids.  Paulie Walnuts will be printing up the limited run t-Shirts and Greg Harris’ Briarwood Landscaping is providing us with the trailer.  Frank and Joey Ciolino are doing the truck detailing.  will Hunt is donating the PA system.

Of Course it wouldn’t be possible without sponsorship from these fantastic community minded businesses-

Gloucester, MA: Rockport native, Nelson Bragg will return to Cape Ann following the latest leg of his Canadian tour with the Brian Wilson Band. An LA resident now, Bragg returns home to play music and enjoy the 4th of July festivities.

• And ,on Sunday, July 3 Bragg will sit in with live 80s band, SAFETY, at a private engagement.

Bragg has been playing and touring with Brian Wilson since 2003 when he was asked to play percussion on the Beach Boys singer’s Grammy award winning solo album, Smile. The Grammy was for the “Best instrumental” category–Mrs. O’Leary’s Cow featuring Bragg on virtually all of the whistles and sound effects at the top of the piece. In 2005, the Smile two-DVD set was released featuring a full-length documentary of Brian Wilson’s Smile story and the making of it both in 1966-67 and newly in 2004. That documentary aired on Showtime in October 2004 and was directed by Beach Boys and pop authority David Leaf. A live concert performance of Smile is featured on the second disc.

Nelson Bragg has continued on for many tours worldwide including Smile performances (12 nights at London’s Royal Festival Hall) and two nights at Carnegie Hall (broadcast on NPR radio, nationally on Thanksgiving Day 2004), two nights at The Sydney Opera House, The Hollywood Bowl 3 nights w/The L.A. Phil – 2008, Royal Albert Hall, The Montreaux Jazz Festival, The New Orleans Jazz Festival, The Newport Folk Fest, Brandenburgh Gate – Berlin for the worldwide Live 8 benefit and at The 2005 Glastonbury Festival in the UK, setting attendance records. Bragg has also performed with the band on several television appearances including Late Night With Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien. Recordings include Brian Wilson’s Christmas album All I really Want For Christmas released in 2005 and “That Lucky Old Sun” released in 2008. In 2006-2007, the band performed the Pet Sounds album in the U.S. and Europe, celebrating its 40th anniversary. Beach Boy Al Jardine joined the band for the U.S. leg of those concerts.

Dave Sag’s Blues Party And More

Dave Sag’s Blues Party At The Rhumb Line

Dave Says,

The fur flies this Thursday as we welcome back that cyclonic blues behemoth, Mr. Larry Sortwell, to the Rhumb Line Stage. Ably backed by that legendary drumbulationist, Mr. Johnny Loud. These two cats played together for years in the Grapevine Road band and I’m really happy to have them with us. Greg T and myself will be struggling to fill the black hole with Spackle all night long. Sounds like a plan!
  And for those who might wish to reach escape velocity away from the grease-soaked Fiesta, why not come on over to Stone Soup in Ipswich this Sunday. From 5 to 8 , they’ll be featuring the dulcet tones of Mark Earley and his Flames of Jive, featuring such luminaries as Tom Palance, Jack’s brother, on Trumpet, John Hyde, keyboard inflammationist, on ivories, Some unsub drummer, myself, on upright, and of course, Mark Earley, on tenor and barium sax. Last time we did this ,we had the house rockin’. Look for many sit-ins and a few spit-ups. highly recommended. We’ll see you there!

Deb Clarke’s Daughter EB Playind Violin and Harp For Indie Band FAX HOLIDAY

Posted on by Joey Ciaramitaro

This From Shhh, Listen…

Fax Holiday is the recording/performing name of Eric Schermerhorn (formerly of Mutt and Margin Walker), and it is also the name of a Boston-based indie/folk band containing Schermerhorn (vocals, guitars, autoharp), Ian Macleod (bass, vocals), Elizabeth Bollenberg (violin, harp), and Dana Diplacido (percussion).  Importantly, it is also the name of one of my favorite bands of the last few months.  Their new album – Rope & Wine – is a solid musical effort – combining indie-rock numbers like “Dropping Out” with more introspective, folk-inspired tunes like “Salt.”  Regardless of presentation, each song feels as if it is rooted in something that is deeply personal – coming to the listener as if from a diary entry.  It’s a combination that comes up a lot in these parts (you might be familiar with a similar formula as seen in the work of Galaxie 500), and produces an amazingly vibrant emotional tapestry.

Also, it rocks.  Did I mention that it rocks?

For the rest of the entry and to hear some of the songs check Shh,Listen…

You may remember EB’s entries from the Sketchbook Project–
