SUMMARY:Cicada Rhythm\, folk-pop and ramshackle rock\, LIVE at Canopy and the Roots
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets HERE. \nWhen Cicada Rhythm hit the road in support of their 2015 debut\, they were a homespun\, stripped-down folk duo\, armed with songs that mixed acoustic instruments and soft dynamics with the intimate charm of two harmonized voices. \nThree years later\, bandmates Andrea DeMarcus and Dave Kirslis have upsized their sound considerably with Everywhere I Go. Recorded in a string of studios across the southeast\, it’s a snapshot of a band on the move\, with new members filling their lineup and a louder set of influences propelling their sound forward. There are roots-rock tunes\, slow waltzes\, politically-minded lyrics\, front-porch folksongs and backwoods ballads\, all delivered by a group of road warriors who’ve cut their teeth not only in the writing room\, but onstage\, too. \n“In the beginning\, we were two singer/songwriters making a living on $50 per show\,” says DeMarcus\, a Juilliard-trained bassist who met Kirslis — her bandmate and future husband — when he hopped off a freight train and landed in her Georgia hometown. The two quickly whipped up a musical chemistry rooted in the steady pluck of DeMarcus’ upright bass\, the rootsy punch of Kirslis’ guitar\, and the raw blend of their voices. As romance blossomed between the musicians\, so did a career. “We had to keep it a duo\,” DeMarcus remembers of their early days on the road\, “because we couldn’t afford to bring along anybody else. When we released our debut record\, we started touring with a drummer\, and the sound just evolved from there. We realized we needed to demand attention\, rather than waiting for people at the shows to shut up.” \nPeople did pay attention\, taking notice of Cicada Rhythm’s ability to merge both traditional and contemporary Americana sounds along with topical lyrics\, which often touched upon modern issues like environmentalism. Among the band’s biggest fans were members of two A-list Americana bands: Kenneth Pattengale\, best known as the spellbinding guitarist and harmony vocalist of the Milk Carton Kids\, and Oliver Wood\, lead singer and guitarist for the Wood Brothers. When it came time to record Cicada Rhythm’s newest batch of songs in 2017\, Pattengale and Wood shared production duties\, giving Everywhere I Go a broad\, diverse punch.  \nA sense of forward momentum sweeps its way throughout Everywhere I Go\, whose very title conjures up the image of a band in transit. Kicking off with “America’s Open Roads” and winding to a finish with the Bob Dylan-worthy “Back Home\,” it’s an album written during a time of travel\, of growth\, of being together. Like interstate poets\, DeMarcus and Kirslis write about the country unfolding outside their car window at highway speed\, spinning stories not only about the places they visit\, but personal and social struggles\, as well. \nAn Appalachian-sounding anthem for the female empowerment movement\, “Do I Deserve It Yet” takes a look at the modern woman’s struggle in a man’s world as DeMarcus wails in the chorus\, “Won’t you tell me when I am enough? ‘Cause I can never tell.” “America’s Open Roads” resonates similarly in today’s climate of division and controversial leaders\, with the emotionally hard-hitting opening line\, “Every day starts with a terrible dream.” Although written outside of political context\, these songs took on new meanings once Cicada Rhythm began integrating them into their shows. \n“We were touring up the East Coast one week after the election\, and the nation was visibly shook up\,” says Kirslis\, who shares vocal duties throughout the record. “Suddenly\, a lot of Andrea’s lyrics seemed to have double meanings. The song is about keeping roads open\, rather than build walls over them. As we began playing more and more new songs\, they began paralleling some things that were going on in the outside world.” \nFans of Cicada Rhythm’s debut will remember the socially-conscious “Do Not Destroy\,” an eco-friendly song that urged its listener to take care of the natural world. Much of Everywhere I Go follows in that song’s footsteps\, forming a bridge between the two records. \n“We’re changing\, but we haven’t lost our sincerity\,” DeMarcus adds. “A lot of the songs are still political. They’re emotional. They’re raw\, which has always been an important part of our sound. We haven’t lost our identity; we’ve just grown around it.” \nProducers Pattengale and Wood assisted in that growth by beefing up the band’s sound with strings\, Hammond organ\, electric guitar\, and pedal steel. Working with the producers separately allowed Cicada Rhythm to revisit and revise a number of songs that had already become live staples. “You can’t underestimate the power of a fresh set of ears\,” DeMarcus says. “It’s helpful to know what someone else thinks your song can be\, particularly someone who hasn’t heard the song nightly for the past two months. A lot of the time\, collaboration is the reason something becomes better.” \nEmbracing Everywhere I Go as “a patchwork album\,” Cicada Rhythm tracked its 12 songs in recording studios\, living rooms\, and gospel churches throughout Tennessee and Georgia. Some songs were performed live in the studio and captured on analog tape\, while album highlights like “Even in the Shallows” were tracked more methodically. String sections were added — a nod to DeMarcus’ fondness for the Beatles\, whose own songs often made room for symphonic arrangements — without taking away from the band’s rustic charm. Together\, the album’s track list blends orchestral folk-pop and ramshackle roots-rock in equal numbers\, giving Cicada Rhythm more fuel for their music-filled travels. \n“We named the album after a line in ‘America’s Open Roads\,’ but hopefully\, this album will be our ticket to everywhere we go\,” explains DeMarcus. “Wherever we are\, these songs will be with us.”

SUMMARY:Adam Klein with guitarist\, Bret Hartley :: Multi-Cultural Americana
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets HERE. \nAn Atlanta-via-Athens\, Georgia-based singer/songwriter and troubadour\, Adam Klein’s music touches on Americana\, rustic country folk\, folk-rock\, and West African Mande music. He performs in a variety of settings– either solo/duo\, with his band\, Adam Klein & The Wild Fires\, or occasionally with his American roots-meets-West-African-roots project under his Peace Corps name in Mali\, Lassine Kouyate. \n“I killed a stray cat that had been hanging around my yard for a few days\,” Klein says. “It was an accident. I had a hybrid car that was practically silent when it drove. One morning I pulled out of the driveway\, and my wife found it dead on the ground. We figure it had crawled under the car\, didn’t hear the engine turn on\, and I ran over it. I felt pretty bad about it.” \nThe ensuing song Klein wrote about the incident and his likely role in the cat’s death\, is the title track to his new 3-song EP\, Little Tiger\, a collection of outtakes to be released on January 22\, 2021\, from the recording sessions for his 2019 album\, Low Flyin’ Planes. \nFor Low Flyin’ Planes\, Klein teamed up with his longtime producer and engineer Bronson Tew at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley\, Mississippi\, for their third straight record together (following 2013’s Sky Blue DeVille and 2015’s Archer’s Arrow). It’s a strong partnership that continues to bear fruit. Says Klein\, “He’s a close friend and a genius engineer and producer whose role in shaping the sounds and textures of these records and bringing my songs to life can’t be overstated.’You set them up; I’ll knock them down\, he’s said about our musical partnership. And it’s true- these albums are just as much his handiwork as they are mine.” \nKlein considers Low Flyin’ Planes to be the sonic follow-up to Sky Blue DeVille\, and to that end\, the record features sometimes Wild Fires guitarist Crash Cason and former Wild Fire Tew on drums\, guitar\, and harmony vocals. The sound is capably filled out with Matt Patton (Drive-By Truckers) and Stuart Cole (ex-Squirrel Nut Zippers) on bass\, Eric Carlton (Jimbo Mathus) on keys\, Kell Kellum (Young Valley) on pedal steel and guitars\, Will McCarley (Fat Possum Records) on drums\, Hank West (Squirrel Nut Zippers) on sax and trumpet\, Schaefer Llana and Anne Freeman on harmony vocals\, and other ace players from the Oxford\, MS\, scene. The result is a strong\, sincere collection of folk-rock songs featuring Klein’s signature warm vocals colored by a lush\, textured sound. The songs on Little Tiger were recorded at Dial Back Sound\, and produced\, mixed\, and mastered by Tew at Sleepers Mountain in Portland\, Oregon. \nBoth “Little Tiger” and “Take It (On Faith)” were recorded during the LFP sessions. The band stretches out on the latter\, this collection’s closing number\, an energetic song with sweeping harmony vocals which straddles the line of serious and playful as Klein details hopeful and alarming visions alike of a possible individual and collective future. Written in 2015\, the song seems to portend the current state of national affairs (“I take it that all this hatred / I take it that all this strife / is gonna get worked out one day / on a field with guns and knives / I take it on faith”)\, while noting the cyclical nature of things — that which has been will once again come to pass (“I take it that it’s all been said and done and done and said before / writ upon the rocks and sand and the ice and dirt and the ocean floor / I take it on faith”). Ultimately\, as is usually the case in Klein’s songs\, the listener is left with a feeling of hope\, as he declares: “I take it that goodness and graciousness are gonna have the final say.” \n“It’s just a straightforward three-chord song\,” says Klein\, “and you sure can have a good time with that. That may have been the first song we recorded\, and I’m pretty sure it was the first take. Great\, raw energy. We played it one more time\, but quickly realized we caught it right out of the gate.” \n“Little Tiger”\, although shelved from the original album\, stood out as the favorite track among many of the players on the session\, and was rounded out by mellotron compliments of Jay Gonzalez (Drive-By Truckers). “I’ve always sequenced my albums\, but this time Bronson recommended we let Patton do it for LFP\,” says Klein. “That’s one of his favorite parts of the album creation process\, and I definitely trust his instincts and thought it’d be neat to see what he came up with. He drove around with it in his car for a few weeks and sent in a track order that he couldn’t see going any other way. It didn’t include “Little Tiger” or “Take It (On Faith)”\, but I think it was a fitting sequence and the 10-song album was already a 45-minute or so listen.” \nThe EP kicks off with “Halfway to Heaven”\, a song intended for inclusion on LFP but which wasn’t recorded during the album sessions. “It was always a key song for me from the collection\, and a companion piece to the title track\,” Klein offers. “I thought we’d just put it on the opposite side of the record from the song “Low Flyin’ Planes”\, but given its similarities in terms of the tuning\, the sound\, and even the progression\, we decided to no even record it at the time and kick it down the road a bit.” \nRecorded on a subsequent visit to Dial Back Sound and to the Mississippi Delta\, “Halfway to Heaven” features Klein on acoustic guitar and vocals\, Tew on acoustic and electric guitars\, bass\, drums\, and harmony vocals\, and Gonzalez on Wurlitzer. The song directly expresses the main themes and questions of Low Flyin’ Planes. “I had been playing music\, traveling a lot\, and was generally trying to find my footing\,” Klein recalls. “I hit the point where I faced a fundamental question— do I keep pursuing music\, solely\, risking the end of a long-term relationship\, perhaps failing to develop myself more broadly\, and likely remaining financially unstable\, or do I settle in a bit too domestic life\, strengthen my relationship with my then-girlfriend (now wife)\, and keep tinkering away at creative works in music and other areas? I chose what felt like a more stable footing. We now have a young daughter and it’s been fulfilling in a lot of ways. I may not be as hungry and endlessly hustling\, but the creative well is far from dry\, and I expect to always be plugging away at songwriting\, other writings\, performing\, and acting.” \nIt feels a bit strange\, Klein notes\, to release these songs amidst the tumult and political backdrop of this period of time\, but the downtime of quarantine and the pandemic seemed like the right time to clear the deck of this material and close out the Low Flyin’ Planes cycle. “I worried momentarily that it’s somewhat tone-deaf to release songs right now that make no reference to racial inequities\, the increasing division in our country\, the suffering amidst coronavirus\, and the great reckoning of 2020\,” he says. “But people need music and art now. We all need something to move us\, uplift us\, and to commune with the ineffable power of music and song.” \nAnd as far as material more suited to the times\, Klein’s been busy at work. “I’ve written a lot since the killing of George Floyd and recorded an album this past summer grappling with this moment of American history\, our past\, and our iniquities. The songs are in production as we speak\, and will hopefully get out there as soon as possible.” \nIn the meantime\, though\, Klein offers this Little Tiger EP\, which has the signature\, evocative production of his records made with Tew\, the talents of all the excellent players who graced the songs\, and a heartfelt journey through an empathetic life seeking stories\, fulfillment\, aliveness\, and awe\, accompanied by a soundtrack of folk-rock n’ roll. \nKlein’s music has garnered praise from Paste\, No Depression\, Georgia Music\, Sing Out!\, Flagpole\, Stomp & Stammer\, Maverick\, and Connect Savannah Magazines\, as well as on numerous Americana blogs worldwide (Americana UK\, Roots Highway\, CtrlAltCountry\, etc.). His second and third releases\, Wounded Electric Youth and Western Tales & Trails\, debuted on the Euro Americana charts at #5 and #4\, respectively. Klein has performed throughout the U.S.\, toured in the UK\, Ireland\, and The Netherlands\, and been a showcasing artist at Folk Alliance. He has shared the stage with a diverse range of acts including Josh Ritter\, Kevin Kinney\, James McMurtry\, Okkervil River\, Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet featuring Bela Fleck\, Shawn Mullins\, Jim Lauderdale\, Robert Ellis\, Steep Canyon Rangers\, Shovels & Rope\, and more. \nKlein’s records have featured a who’s-who of talented musicians from Athens and beyond\, including producer\, engineer\, drummer\, and vocalist Bronson Tew\, Randall Bramblett\, pedal steel maestro John Neff\, David Blackmon (Widespread Panic\, Jerry Reed)\, Lera Lynn\, and Carlton Owens (Cracker). \nIn 2012 Klein released his first ‘world music’ record\, the original Malian Mande collection Dugu Wolo. An associated making-of-the-record documentary film is in the works. Klein is the founder of upstart independent label Cowboy Angel Music and co-founder of the Athens Americana Music Festival in Athens\, Georgia\, held annually from 2007- 2012. He currently hosts the quarterly African Sky Podcast\, discussing issues of Malian history\, culture\, and development with a variety of guests. \nAlso\, a represented Atlanta-based actor\, Klein’s roles have included Amazon’s “Z: The Beginning of Everything” as well as various commercials and indie film projects. He can be seen performing his unreleased song\, “Goin’ Down to Peachtree”\, in the award-winning independent film Born River Bye.

SUMMARY:Indie-Folk Artist\, Zach Winters' Autumnal Tour LIVE at Canopy + the Roots
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets HERE. \nZach Winters is a naturalist—his work and life often woven together. Winters’ songs resonate with the sacred and the commonplace—companionship\, wrestling with the divine\, passing seasons\, and the pursuit of a tangible beauty. His lyrical themes share a kinship to the poetry of Frost and Tagore. Over the years\, Winters has honed his songwriting and DIY approach\, garnering praise from voices like Paste Magazine and self-producing six full-length albums as well as a handful of EPs and other projects. \nWinters moved his family to southern Mexico for a year for his kids to learn Spanish and to finish his latest 13-track LP\, Love is a Garden. The album features Winters most striking collection of songs to date\, while staying true to his homemade yet luxuriant variety of indie-folk. It features everything from generous string arrangements to groovy bass lines to warm horn sections\, and most notably\, Winters’ yearning\, gentle\, and sometimes playful vocal layering.  \nIn the last few years\, Winters has been on tour throughout the US\, Europe\, Canada\, Australia\, New Zealand & Mexico\, musically migrating with his family and playing shows with musical friends in homes and concert halls. He has had the honor to sing for Syrian refugees\, laboring mothers\, orphans in Mexico\, monks in Poland\, pubs in Northern Ireland\, and his friends\, neighbors and family. \nBorn on the Great Plains\, Zach and his family have returned from southern Mexico. After cancelling all plans along with the rest of the world in 2020\, Zach set to work on a new group of songs that will be released in batches through 2021. Another Winters Migration Tour will see them circling the US (dates here)\, with more dates forthcoming. \n
