Bio
Kate Lamont & Blueprintmusic are honored to be part of Matchbox Recordings "stay in the Box Vol.3". A superb hand picked collection of proper real new artists on a proper real CD. Yes, not just an MP3 file on your Ipod or another Myspace page in amongst millions of new bands. This is a real good old fashioned CD record that is released worldwide and that you can hold in your hands. You can also buy it digitally at Itunes. Just click on the Itunes icon below. ...... Their ensemble may look like a bluegrass band- there’s a banjo, fiddle, dobro and other trappings- but you won’t find any songs about mama or whiskey. For Kate Lamont and Doug Sauter picking a genre has been a career long escapade, shifting from folk, to progressive folk to progressive rock, to bluegrass to soul grass to chamber punk and currently settling on FOLK. WORLD. AMERICANA. Kate Lamont’s soulful vocals and poetic lyrics paint stirring images while Doug Sauter’s guitar and banjo playing is certainly the result of some Bela Fleck/Michael Hedges gene merge. Grover Parido, cellist extraordinaire, Matt Koher, vangaurd mandolinist/ fiddler, and Ryan Deasy, celebrity bassist, create a split-personality string section that adds as much wild melody as it does tasteful restraint. Joshua Strodtman, dobro /African percussion, adds the “world “ genre to the repertoire, playing his “kit” made of djembes, sangbans and a guitar case kick drum. Their instrumentation and arrangements are as complex as the most intricate symphony but far more accessible and melodic. They make elegant choices, giving their material wide appeal. Deft reflections of the human condition, Blueprintmusic songs are inspiring, heart-breaking, adventurous, peaceful. Who are they? A bluegrass October Project? A jazzed up Alison Krauss and Union Station? I give up. Just go and listen to their music. .. .. .. .. .. BLUEPRINTMUSIC/Slow Pace Quickening: They might be from Indianapolis but they are so in touch with the classic spirit of music from the Gulch that their devotion to eclecticism and wide ranging sounds would make Bear Richert smile. A collection of sonic mini-movies, this is music that gleefully doesn’t fit the format but crosses a bunch of boundaries at the same time and delivers almost a cinematic sound. Smart writing about the goings on the macro world around us and an encompassing fusion of sounds make this special adult music you can really sink your teeth into. You almost have to describe their music in a backwards fashion by calling out styles it could be and saying no it isn’t: isn’t not folk, not classical, not NAC, not world…but a little of all of it. Fun stuff that takes you someplace else. Review by Chris Spector Midwestrecord 12-21-07 www.midwestrecord.com ............
