i hope you all are doing well & are enjoying the full moon!!
in honor of this occasion, i am first highlighting the Chasing the Moon show that i helped put together that is TONIGHT, Wednesday at the Rickshaw Stop!!!! i knew it would be hard to follow-up the buffy sainte-marie show*, but this show is actually the perfect one to have next, and i think you should come for many many reasons:
1) it will be Honeycomb's Chasing the Moon podcast release, so we will all be seeing it for the first time up on the big screen. have you heard honeycomb yet?? hear some of their songs at http://www.myspace.com/honeycombmusic have you seen chasing the moon yet?? see past episodes at http://chasingthemoon.pdcst.com
2) it's going to be the FULL PINK MOON!!! how cool is that?? they (farmers almanac people) call it the pink moon because of "the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring." good reason to celebrate.
3) Sonya Cotton & her band will be playing their beautifully woven chill-inducing songs, including a special version of Nick Drake's Pink Moon, joined by Honeycomb'ers Emily Ritz & Kacey Johansing!
4) Jascha vs. Jascha is/are releasing his/their new album, A Cure for Sleep, joined by incredible band members Dina Maccabee (in many other bands!) & Thomas Edler (also in Indianna Hale's band) & Andrew Maguire (also in Honeycomb!)
5) Kris Gruen, recommended by the great Sean Hayes, is touring through from Vermont, so this is going to be a rare chance to hear his songs live in SF! hear some songs at http://krisgruen.com orhttp://myspace.com/krisgruen
6) I will be very happy if you can make it (just sayin')... it's only $10 for all of this great music... and what better way to spend a Wednesday night on the full pink moon? here are the nitty gritty details, & other recommended future events follow. please be there!!
Wednesday April 28th
Chasing the Moon & Seaweed Sway present
FULL PINK MOON Show
at the Rickshaw Stop
TICKETS: http://bit.ly/pinkmoontix
featuring the premier of HONEYCOMB*'s Chasing the Moon video podcast!
plus live music from
SONYA COTTON
Labeled "The Frida Khalo of songwriting," Sonya's compositions are deeply personal, drawing upon her dreams, family, and love; they often come from a place of profound reverence for the natural world and the creatures of the earth. "Sonya Maria Cotton ... is a really damn fine singer." --Pitchfork
JASCHA VS. JASCHA
After using his dreams to spark a music career in Brooklyn, Jascha moved to San Francisco to record his first album. With hushed vocals and unexpected twists, his songs are vulnerable, clever and eccentric. Jascha will be joined by Dina Maccabee and special guests to celebrate the release of his album *A Cure For Sleep*—and the launch of an open-source songwriting blog.
KRIS GRUEN
Born in New York City, Kris Gruen is a Vermont-based singer-songwriter. Often compared to Andrew Bird, The Arcade Fire, and The Decembrists, Part of It All, with the help of Mother West producers/engineers Charles Newman, JJ Beck and Rob Stevens, takes Gruen's songs and stories to an adventurous and fresh musical place.
CHASING THE MOON
Chasing the Moon is a monthly local music podcast that is celebrated with a live show on the full moon each month.
SEAWEED SWAY
SeaweedSway is a project to promote & encourage community around Bay Area music, yoga, & nature events.
"Full Pink Moon: This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month's celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn."
