Ellis Paul

Where: Cactus Cafe

Date: 2007-05-11 21:00:00

Type:

$15 at the door. Ellis Paul, a folk musician born Paul Plissey in Aroostook County, Maine, was a chief architect of what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, an urbane, literate folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. Critics have praised him for a charismatic, personally authentic performance style that has influenced other folk-pop musicians. While remaining among the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters with songs that have appeared in movies and TV, he has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than many of his songwriting peers.

ALT.NET

Where: St. Edward's University

Date: 2007-10-05 00:00:00

Type:

The ALT.NET Conference applies Open Space Technology to create a dialog between people who are trying to learn ALT.NET practices and people who are working toward communicating the practices. Over a day and a half of breakout sessions, demonstrations, and conversations, participants will consider three critical questions affecting the community: * As a developer interested in ALT.NET, what should I learn and how do I learn it? * As a community influencer, how can I communicate ALT.NET more effectively to people who are struggling to find knowledge and understanding amidst challenging and esoteric jargon? * How will the ALT.NET community and practices respond to changes in programming technology and culture? The primary goals of the participants and of the conference are to teach more people to use ALT.NET and to learn to do a better job of teaching ALT.NET. In the process, participants will have the opportunity to learn ALT.NET practices and tools from influencers in the ALT.NET community, and to give feedback to influencers on the experiences and challenges in learning the tools and practices. Everyone at the ALT.NET Conference is a seeker. No one is a speaker. We're getting together to teach and to learn, and to have some fun over a weekend in one of the world's most creative cities. All levels of participants are welcome. We are committed to leaving no one behind... especially the teachers!

Ha Ha Tonka Live!

Where: Red Eyed Fly

Date: 2007-08-01 20:00:00

Type:

Ha Ha Tonka's lyrics replicate the paradox that exists in the Midwestern Bible Belt that they know so well, where the realities of meth use, strip clubs, socio-economic hardship, and backwoods prejudices meet the literal interpretations of biblical story-tellers. This Ozark milieu creates some contradictory notions, but also some of the most poignant folk and gospel musical traditions in the nation's history. The bands first single from the album, St. Nick on the Fourth in a Fervor, is the most representative of the bands sound, combining harmonies and biting guitar riffs with lyrics that delve into issues of nationalism, religious allegiances, and rites of passage. A lyric from the song captures the experience of this album precisely: this glimpse of brilliance is much better than your long look at mediocrity. Bloodshot Records is pleased to announce the signing of Ha Ha Tonka. Coming straight out of Springfield, MO., the artists previously known as Amsterband specialize in disarming and effortless anthems that owe as much to high and lonesome Ozarks mountain music as chugging college rock. Bloodshot will release the band's debut, Buckle in the Bible Belt, in fall 2007. Hear St. Nick and other songs here: www.myspace.com/hahatonkaEvent submitted by Eventful.com on behalf of BSHQ.

X

Where: La Zona Rosa

X were the quintessential Los Angeles punk rockers before they grew into a world-class rock and roll band and live band. However, enthusiasm for their unique, intelligent and humorous work never quite reached critical mass. The Detroit Cobras are a garage-rock revival band formed in 1995 by guitarist Steve Shaw. Shaw recruited fellow Detroiters Maribel Restrepo on guitar, Jeff Meyer on bass and Damian Lang on drums to fill out the instrumental lineup, with ex-butcher and exotic dancer Rachel Nagy handling the vocals.
