SUMMARY:Nordlys Global Voices Series: Amanda Pascali
DESCRIPTION:American Roots Bluegrass		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	Amanda Pascali draws from multiple traditions and makes them her own. Born into a multicultural family with roots in Egypt\, France\, Italy\, and Romania\, she grew up navigating different languages\, histories\, and identities. That sense of movement between worlds shapes her songwriting. It is very personal\, direct\, and informed by a wide musical landscape. Her work is closely tied to Southern Italian folk traditions\, particularly the songs of Sicilian singer Rosa Balistreri. Through her project To Sing and Recount (Canta e Cunta)\, Pascali has translated and reinterpreted these songs\, bringing their themes into a contemporary context. The result connects older forms of storytelling with present-day experiences\, without losing the character of the originals. Her recent album\, Roses and Basil\, brings together these reimagined folk songs with her own writing. The arrangements move between folk\, Mediterranean influences\, and contemporary songwriting\, with a focus on narrative and voice. Pascali has performed internationally as a Fulbright Scholar\, appeared at the World Expo in Osaka\, and been an artist-in-residence at the Library of Congress. Her work has also found a wide audience online\, where her interpretations of traditional songs continue to reach new listeners. SAMPLE SONG This is a chance to hear how older and traditional songs can shift and take on new meaning\, carried forward by a songwriter who approaches them with both care and curiosity. “Pascali is not only a powerful poet with an angelic voice but an unstoppable force.” —GUITAR THRILLSMade possible by The Nordlys Foundation.

The show will include these fan-favorites as well as some new material and surprise covers. Sample Song Martin Sexton comes to us with what Rolling Stone calls his “soul-marinated voice\,” acoustic guitar\, and a suitcase full of heartfelt songs. Still fiercely independent and headlining venues from The Fillmore to Carnegie Hall\, Sexton has influenced a generation of contemporary artists. His songs have appeared in television series such as Scrubs\, Parenthood\, Masters of Sex\, Sprung\, and in numerous films\, though it’s his incendiary live show\, honest lyrics\, and vocal prowess that keep fans coming back for a new experience every time. “Mr. Sexton as an impassioned performer can bring women and men to tears when they see him live” —Wall Street Journal “The best live performer I’ve ever seen.” —John Mayer Whether you come to experience Martin Sexton again or for the first time\, you are in for an incredible time. Can't make it to the show in person? Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Enjoy two weeks of access with your live stream ticket.

This critically acclaimed folk-country song is so personal\, and yet a universal plea for grace\, compassion\, and redemption in the face of familial struggles\, personal shortcomings\, and political turmoil. Mercy Now won widespread acclaim and propelled Gauthier into the spotlight\, making the Top Ten Albums list in many publications.  Mary says\, "I am excited to announce that this year is the 20th Anniversary of the release of Mercy Now\, a record that changed my life. We are celebrating with a vinyl re-release and a tour. I’m not really one to look back\, but reflecting on these ten songs feels more like standing still long enough to take stock\, and appreciating the grace that brought them into existence. These shows will be a continuation of a long conversation with kindred souls\, like you\, who understand the alchemy of song. Kindred souls who know a sad song doesn’t make the darkness deeper; it gives it a shape\, a name\, shines the light on it\, and brings forth hope. "Yeah\, we all could use a little mercy now…” Mary Gauthier SAMPLE SONG Over the past 25 years\, Mary Gauthier has become one of the most respected songwriters in American roots music\, known for songs that face life directly and without compromise. “I’m the kind of songwriter who writes what I see in the world right now\,” she says.  Her eleventh album\, Dark Enough to See the Stars\, was her first collection of entirely new original songs in more than eight years. Her work reflects both loss and renewal. Written in the wake of personal and collective upheaval\, Dark Enough to See the Stars holds grief and gratitude in the same frame\, tracing the difficult work of moving forward. It followed Rifles & Rosary Beads\, her Grammy-nominated collaboration with wounded Iraq war veterans. In 2021\, she published Saved by a Song: The Art and Healing Power of Songwriting\, a reflection on how songwriting helps make sense of difficult experiences. Gauthier’s songs have been recorded by artists including Dolly Parton\, Jimmy Buffett\, Tim McGraw\, and Kathy Mattea\, and have appeared in film and television\, most recently on HBO’s Yellowstone.  Brandi Carlile has said\, “Mary’s songwriting speaks to the tender aspects of our humanness\,” while the Associated Press calls her “one of the best songwriters of her generation.” Can't make it to the show in person?

And then there's the voice–equal parts gravel and molasses." – NPR This stark\, elemental sage always has a twinkle in his eye\, a light touch at your elbow as he guides you along. Accompanying himself with masterful finger-picking and amplified foot percussion\, his extraordinary lyrics are packed with well-developed story lines and little punches that land on your heart.  After six decades of sharpening his knife as a songwriter\, Smither can at this point open damn near anything with a flick of his wrist. Politics\, consciousness\, renewal\, family\, vulnerability\, surrender . . . Smither has sat with these topics like so many Zen koans for so long that every line is a pearl. His style is utterly confident and unafraid\, filled with humility\, humor\, a knowledge of what inevitably lies ahead\, yet refusing to succumb to darkness.​  In the latest news\, his acting debut was in\, "The Singers\," which just won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film. You can stream it on Netflix.  Stream this show live at Caffè Lena TV. Livestream available for $5 – 100% of live stream tickets on CaffeLenaTV benefit the artists.
