104.7 The Point and Harpoon welcome
Sprite and brimming with innocence, Vermont's own Anais Mitchell channels the earthiness of Shawn Colvin, the child-like bite of Joanna Newsom, and the urban jumpiness of Ani DiFranco. A songwriter of startling clarity and depth, Mitchell weaves her stories into an effortlessly beautiful and cohesive tapestry with the skill of an artisan's carpenter, showing no seams. Americana songstress Rachel Ries will join Anais for what promises to be a very special evening of music.
"[Louis Ledford’s] land is the “Old Weird America” Greil Marcus wrote so emotively about. His stories seldom end with a hero on the proverbial mountaintop. His narratives are typically told by the losers, those close to the edge, in the grandest sense. This latest record puts him in front of a microphone, sans accompaniment, where he pours out live-sounding interpretations of his own music, which while not your Daddy’s folk, has one foot planted firmly either side of Cripple Creek. Adios King represents Ledford’s most accomplished work, which at it’s peak stands shoulder to shoulder with that of modern luminaries as Gillian Welch, Patty Griffin, and the like."
