This night almost took the life out of everyone involved but somehow we managed to get everything in order. Tonight at pehrspace we're hosting an intimate little show featuring a few of our favorite singer-songwriters of the past few years.
Let's start with Ms. Nettie Rose beginning with the one thing that's on everyone's mind when they see her: She's the granddaughter of Alan Freed (yes, that Alan Freed), and following in his footsteps the young Rose certainly has a knack for this music stuff. She's been quietly building a following of classic Country & Western music enthusiasts on the Westside, forcing us to trek over to her regular joint the Unurban (which is one of the first places we saw Sara Bareilles and Holly Conlan) quite a times over the years. She self-released an EP of some tunes a few years ago that made its way to our desk and we immediately were struck by her level of songwriting at such a young age. "Ride Ride Ride" is destined for Grand Ole Opry glory. And look out for a new album soon.
In one way or another, you've probably seen Jamie Drake around town whether she's singing with any one of her famous friends (Sally Jaye, Leslie Stevens, and Brother Sal to name a few), having a momentary stint as a member of The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra, or at Crane's where she's been playing regularly for a few years and where she's currently holding the Wednesday residency for a most all of 2010. She's now about to self-release her debut record When I Was Yours on 5/25. It's an undeniably charming collection of sugary sweet pop/folk songs with the title track and "Daydream" being the clear front-runners for Meredith/McDreamy montage music. This is probably music to Ms. Drake's ears as we all know what one song featured on a hit television show can do for the unpaid bills of an independent musician. And if you like what you hear, you should help as much as you can to help offset the costs of the record. And you really should help. Jamie Drake is one of the most honest-to-gosh nicest gals in town. Not to mention, one damn talented lady.
And so we come to HT Heartache. She just celebrated the release of her new record Swing Low earlier this week in a room full of friends that included members of
We are truly honored to have these ladies playing tonight. Gosh knows we've been begging them for a
Hope to see you there.
