I dunno if you heard, but Tuesday is the new coolest day of the week! (It's not Wednesday anymore.
)

Sure, we all go to shows, but this one actually does something extra for the community. Have part of the dough you fork over do something productive.


In other words, give a care! And see some great bands while you're at it! Plus, your wristband will get you discounts at Carly's Bistro and Lost Leaf. And let's face it, you can't pass up a discount in this day and age.




Hope to see you there. Thanks!

..“Solo Parts” is an acoustic-driven folk rock album from talented singer/songwriter Chris Holiman. This album is filled with moody songs that reflect the time and place in which he wrote the songs – during a dreary European winter just after his father's death. Through great lyrical imagery and a sorrowful delivery reminiscent of Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, Holiman invokes his sadness with each note. Though the arrangements on “Solo Parts” mostly rely on Holiman's acoustic guitar performance, the album also features nice electric solos from Holiman, solid work from Tom Larkins on drums, and great cello and stand-up bass work from Calexico's Joey Burns . Together they have crafted twelve great folk rock tracks that do Holiman's lyrics justice. This album is well-produced and sounds professional and clean. “My Father's Son” is an acoustic tribute song that tells the sad tale of Holiman's strained relationship with his father, concluding, “Sometimes I try to hide it/But I can't deny/I'm my father's son.” “Leaving Europe Today” is another sad acoustic track that features Joey Burns' haunting cello progressions in the background. Overall, “Solo Parts” is an impressive solo debut from a well-rounded musician. Fans of moody folk rock and great singer/songwriters, check out Chris Holiman.

Un mio breve pensiero d'inizio estate...


Se non hai un amore non capisci il senso dell'amore.

Se non hai un libro non capisci il senso della lettura.

Se non hai una matita non capisci il senso del disegno.

Se non hai uno strumento non capisci il senso della musica.

Ma tutti abbiamo un cielo

per capire il senso

dell'infinito
