Bill Steely and Where's Dave?
After arriving in New York in 1984, he formed
several bands and played venues in the East and West Village. But it
wasn't until 2005 that he met and started playing with the musicians who
would become Where's Dave. After Steely gathered some musicians from
his former band, Behind Chicken Wire, a keyboard player by the name of
Dave was most enthusiastic about playing again. But rehearsals came and
went, and no Dave. At the start of every rehearsal the drummer would ask
"Where's Dave?" Needing a band name, that became the obvious choice...more info

Kristofferson hit #1 in the late eighties with another Webb standard,
“The Highwayman,” a ballad which won him yet another Grammy for Best
Country Song of the Year, and a CMA Award for Single Of The Year...more info

Guggenheim Grotto
Since day one we’ve been an independent band… true believers in the
DIY approach to making music. We’ve played producer, engineer and
performer on each of our 3 albums. For album number 4, we want to do it
a little bit differently. We want more people to get involved.Here in
Brooklyn we have met a group of supremely talented musicians
who are psyched to play with us. We have also got a brilliant
producer/engineer (Chris Kuffner) to come onboard and work his magic on
our music. To make it all happen, we also need you. ...Ver más |

Liam O’Maonlai (Hothouse Flowers)
Hailing from
Dublin, Liam O’Maonlai is one of Ireland’s best loved musicians and singers in
traditional (sean nos), rock, soul, gospel and world music. A master pianist, Liam’s talent also extends
to guitar, harp, tin whistle, bodhran, didgeridoo, and banjo. He has also
recorded with some of the world’s most noted bands and musicians. His work with
Hothouse Flowers also continues to inspire and bring joy to his committed fans
throughout the world, as does his solo work in which Liam has put forth two
albums –“Rian” (2005), and “To Be Touched” (2008). Both albums stem from Liam’s innate ability
to create music from a wellspring of tradition, love and experience of other
cultures. This is especially evident in the film “Dambe – The Mali Project”, a
documentary that both he and Uillean Piper Paddy Keenan collaborated on in 2008,
when they travelled to Mali and played with Toumani Diabate, Afel Bocoum and
local tribal peoples, culminating at the Festival Au Desert. There they learned
about the relationship between the Irish harp to the African kora. The film
premiered at the 2008 Dublin Film Festival.
In 2011, Rian had been interpreted into an exquisite celebration of
dance. It was co-created by Michael Keegan-Dolan, Ireland’s foremost
choreographer, and married the music of Liam, accompanied by 6 other musicians and
8 dancers from around the world. It debuted in Ireland, then London and is
anticipated to premiere in New York in the fall of 2012. |
