Faun Fables Mix Up Folk With an Avant-Garde Sensibility
- Image via Wikipedia
From Metro Pulse:
If you’re Dawn McCarthy, of Faun Fables, you’d think you wouldn’t have to deal with life’s mundane details. She seems to live in a slightly different world from the rest of us. “Ethereal” and “hypnotic” are words often applied to her music, and her persona. True to the name Faun, bestowed on her when she was a little girl in Spokane, Wash., she sings about the moon, sunsets, being lost. Listening to her music, you might guess she’s a pure bohemian spirit who, assuming she’s real at all, might need to be reminded of the necessity of lunch.

Firehouse 12 To Present Ches Smith & These Arches November 19th

From Improvised Communications:
On Friday, November 19th, prolific drummer/composer Ches Smith will make his Firehouse 12 debut when he and his working quartet, These Arches, come to New Haven to celebrate their November release, Finally Out of My Hands (Skirl Records). The band’s all-star line-up features New York creative music scene veterans Tony Malaby (tenor saxophone), Mary Halvorson (guitar) and Andrea Parkins (accordion). Smith, who will also perform at Firehouse 12 with Tim Berne’s Los Totopos the following Friday, founded These Arches while contemplating the traditional function of arches in bridge design, in which the weight is equally supported by the horizontal tension at the arches’ meeting points.
