The lineup of musicians is arranged by Ken Millet, owner of the well-renown Night Eagle Café in Oxford. The caliber of performers at this year’s Colorscape is truly impressive, and you get to see them all for free.
Patty Larkin is a guitar focused singer-songwriter who has immersed herself in a musical world that knows no borders. Her most recent solo release, Red=Luck, showcases a world where the ancient strains of modal folk meet brooding ambient noise. It is a world where Middle-Eastern flavored melodies collide with R&B, where joyous pop and somber reflection, playful eroticism and naked soul searching entwine.
Professor “Louie” & The Crowmatix from Woodstock, NY, are known for their great live shows, songwriting, singing, and jamming. They have been touring and recording nationally for the past four years. They have performed at premier clubs including B.B. Kings & The Bottom Line in New York City, The House of Blues in Los Angeles, The Towne Crier and The Turning Point, NY, and Fitzgeralds in Chicago just to name a few.
The Dust Poets are a five-piece acoustic folk-pop group with roots deep in the Canadian prairie. The band pokes affectionate fun at themselves and the world around them while spreading their own irreverent brand of small town angst. The Dust Poets have performed extensively across Canada and are well known for their infectious spirit, powerful stage presence, genre-bending originals, hot instrumental chops, and juicy harmony singing.
Hailing from the South, the everybodyfields are truly an Appalachian trio. Their harmonies and instrumentation alike seem to have swept down from the mountains and drifted into the valleys of their beloved Johnson City, Tennessee, a town the band calls home. The released their debut album, “half-way there: electricity and the South,” in the summer of 2004.
Returning to Colorscape for the fourth year, Gandalf Murphy & The Slambovian Circus of Dreams brings music that can “heal what ails ya.” They fumble onto stage, talk freely to the audience as if they knew you forever, tell you their names (“just so you know who’s playin’ for ya”) and then proceed to take you away. The music is simple and relatively straight forward, very familiar yet strangely unique and transporting. These good thieves steal freely from the music they love, all kinds of music.
At twenty-two, David Jacobs-Strain is already a veteran of the national club and festival circuit, having shared the stage with the likes of Los Lobos, Robert Cray, Bob Weir, Laura Love, David Lindley, Blind Boys of Alabama, Alex de Grassi, Etta James and Taj Mahal. He has performed at over 50 renowned festivals such as the Vancouver Folk Festival, Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, Montreal International Jazz Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Newport Folk Festival, Live Oak Music Festival, Blues to Bop Festival, in Lugano, Switzerland and Merlefest.
Laurie MacAllister, Abbie Gardner and Carolann Solebello of Red Molly were brought together by a love of traditional American music, old gospel, bluegrass, and the old-time songs of contemporary artists like Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss. Red Molly plans a variety of stringed instruments, and sings in tight three-part harmony, creating their distinctive, and rootsy sound. Their live performances resonate with warmth, fun and infectious energy.
Jeremy Kittel is rapidly earning a reputation as one of the nation’s top young traditional musicians. Winner of the U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Championship in 2000, Jeremy won the Junior National Scottish Fiddle Championship the previous two years and also qualified for the All-Ireland in Irish fiddling four consecutive years.
