harmonies
Goodnight Moonshine feat. Molly of Red Molly
caffe lena 47 Phila St., Saratoga Springs, NY, United StatesThis duo combines the evocative voice and songwriting of Molly Venter, known for her sublime singing in vocal trio Red Molly, with husband, Oberlin-trained guitarist Eben Pariser of New Orleans style jazz band Roosevelt Dime.
Venter’s voice, which can be called both “biker-chick smoky” (New Haven Register), and “like silk” (American Songwriter Magazine), pairs with trance-induced stream-of-consciousness writing in songs that probe the depths of inner experience.
Their show is punctuated by banter that openly explores the complexities of marriage, the Creator, birth, life, death and the roller coaster that is everyday life. For Venter and Pariser, It is the way they make space for each other while staying true to themselves that defines this music, and marriage.
Oshima Brothers with opener Madeleine Roger
caffe lena 47 Phila St., Saratoga Springs, NY, United StatesOshima Bothers, a Japanese-Italian alt-pop sibling duo from the coast of Maine, make open-hearted music with exhilarating, almost unbelievably smooth vocal harmonies and groovy guitar lines. With keys, bass, drums and looping, they create a sonic experience that is contemporary, danceable and yet full of poetic observation about big things going on in the world. Their unique music is fueled by technical tinkering, aesthetic brilliance and devotion to human connection. Embracing a DIY approach, they produce every inch of their songs and videos from scratch, including a 45-minute album-movie. Maine Public Radio says their “harmonies can’t be beat. They are uplifting and, let’s face it, we need uplifting these days.”
Winnepeg singer-songwriter Madeleine Roger has a riveting, intimate style that unites lyrical prowess and breathtaking melodies that linger long after they're sung. “Madeleine's excellent songwriting, ear for traditional-sounding melodies, fabulous voice, and skillful guitar playing give them a timeless quality, though they speak directly to our time.” - Stan Rogers Folk Festival.
