Carol Song Walk

Chrissy’s organizing a carol song walk this Sunday at 2pm through the Log Drive Cafe, here’s the info:

You’re invited to come carolling Sunday Dec.12 at 2pm. We will meet at Minto Park and walk from there.

What’s a Song Walk? A good old-fashioned carolling session with some walking in between songs. Everyone will have the chance to request or lead a song and doing so is very much encouraged.

We will be singing from a booklet compiled by Maura Volante, a fine local singer and community singing.

Art House Cafe

We’re going to be playing the patio at Art House Cafe from 2-4pm this Sunday (Thanksgiving!) If you’re a Thanksgiving orphan, don’t enjoy colonial holidays, or are just free and looking to enjoy outdoor music while that’s still possible, join us?

With a whole two hours available, we’re going to revisit some old country blues tunes we haven’t played in a couple years, there will be more psychedelic dream ukulele, probably some bass guitar, possibly a miniature solo-set or two (AKA a very rare appearance by Sissy and/or Halfwitch) maybe even some guest stars, etc.

Also, if you have some clout with the weather gods, please put a good word in for us. If it’s raining we might have to… dunno, retreat to a friendly neighbourhood tunnel?

Samples of our live from a tunnel concert

Here’s a samples from our tunnel show last week. First, audio of the acapella song “Grinnin in your face” by Son House set to some semi-random images from that night.

Second, a video excerpt showing a kinda magical moment with Oddeline. It’s the end of the spooky traditional folk ballad “Cruel mother.”

Oddeline also has a gorgeous song she played that night up on her bandcamp (https://oddeline.bandcamp.com/track/river-live-from-the-tunnel-show)

Finally, check out Son House if you don’t already know him – and Frankie Armstrong’s version of “Cruel Mother.” It might just change your life.
