Cahalen & Eli - music - Wednesday, August 4 8-10pm - music at Victrola Coffee & Art 411 15th Avenue East, Seattle, WA 98112 |
|
*Cahalen Morrison* is not like many other 20-something musicians out there.
He is genuinely old-time, but from a region (rural New Mexico) not often
associated with a thriving string-band music scene. His multi-instrumental
and songwriting talents were developed in small circles, privately, over
many years, far outside the mainstream. He shows definite influences of
kindred old spirits like Norman Blake, Greg Brown, and Doc Watson that were
obviously instilled at a young age and not picked up in a “back-to-acoustic”
fad. But he is very much his own man, traveling and playing with a
determined Western independence and an easy hospitality towards those he
encounters along the way.
A Suzuki Violin kid that took a left turn early on,* Eli West *has been a
busy multi-instrumentalist since, sitting in with members of the Wailin
Jenny’s, Crooked Still, Michelle Shocked, and others. He was the voice and
guitar behind the Seattle-based Loose Digits, and now finds it quite
comfortable to be in a duo with Cahalen. And so it was that along came Eli
West* *- another unique twenty-something who came by this music more
circuitously, but sharing the same authenticity and Western spirit – and
their mutual musical easy-goingness found some common ground in which
wonderful things grow. The roots are strong, the branches are shady, and the
guitars, banjos, mandolins and voices carry you far off the beaten path to a
Good Place out under open Western skies.
-Kevin Brown (KPBX Spokane 91.1)

Mesita - indee music - Thurs, August 12 8-10pm - music at Victrola Coffee & Art 411 15th Avenue East, Seattle, WA 98112 |
|
Mesita is the work of James Cooley, an independent solo musician from the state of Colorado. Born and raised in the suburbs of Denver, he began playing guitar early in elementary school and went on to pick up as many other instruments as he could soon after. He writes, plays, and produces all of his music himself. As Mesita, he has an album and an EP already under his belt, both available for free download at mesitamusic.com, and is currently hiding out in Seattle working on a brand new album The New Age due out later this year.

Cahalen Morrison - music - Thursday, August 26 8-10pm - music at Victrola Coffee & Art 411 15th Avenue East, Seattle, WA 98112 |
|
Hopping effortlessly from fingerpicking to mandolin, clawhammer banjo to lap slide guitar, Cahalen’s writing encompasses everything from punchy political commentaries, to soul warming serenades, branching out into instrumental rags and fiddle tunes, yet still retaining his subtle musical signature.
