Melody Guy
Singer Songwriter and Recording Artist - “Melody
has emerged as one of the most compelling success stories in Nashville
in years. Her focused determination to become a song crafter and genuine
artist are fully realized on Freedom, her debut on RYS records.”
- Billy Block /Western Beat Radio/ 103 WKDF Nashville
"Melody Guy has the talent that is required to make
it in this industry. Her song writing is a notch above most and that
is what is going to give her longevity in a business that is always
looking for the next best thing"
- Kevin Welch, Music Director KINK FM 102
"For tradition spin Patty Loveless. For soul, pull
out those Al Green discs. For a bit of grit, put on some Delbert McClinton
or save time and get it all with Melody Guy..."
- Billboard
" ...no one can hurt you like Melody Guy."
- Rebecca Hosking
The Celtic Conspiracy presents their second concert
in a series of five. Presented In the spring, this collection of songs
and tunes welcomes better weather and represents the traditional Maying
celebrations of the British Isles and beyond.
Musicians Hanz Araki, Kathryn Claire, Matthew Hayward-Macdonald,
and Colleen Raney are proud to present a series of unprecedented Celtic
concerts over the year. The musicians, who have combined under the name
The Celtic Conspiracy, lend their individual expertise and lyrical knowledge
to five, theme based concerts that present some of the strongest and
most beautiful elements of the Celtic tradition.
Songs of Love and Murder, As I Roved Out, The Emigrant
Song, An Unquiet Grave, and Winter Solstice explore musical and thematic
elements following the seasons. An unconventional spin on the traditional
Valentine’s Day sentiment, the February show will explore some
of the darker and more macabre themes found in Celtic love songs. In
the spring, a collection of songs welcomes better weather and represents
the traditional Maying celebrations of the British Isles and beyond.
The plight of the emigrant is presented in a collection of songs and
tunes in the late summer. Samhain brings ghost stories to every culture,
and the Celtic nations are no exception. Completing the concerts is
the second annual Winter Solstice Celebration which was met with resounding
praise in its inaugural year. Celebrate the darkest night of the year
with the light of music, storytelling and wonder.
is a visionary blend of voices - redefining harmony singing with the power & physicality of folksong, the avant-garde fearlessness of Béla Bartók and the delicious, vaudevillian accompaniment of cello, banjo, accordion and body percussion. Moira Smiley leads an ensemble of extraordinary musicians who share a passion for spreading powerful, emotional music with lush four-part vocal harmony, cello, accordion and banjo. Original improvisation-built songs steeped in Appalachia and Eastern Europe. Named #1 a cappella group in the U.S. in 2007, VOCO is the energy of street singing and the elegance of a string quartet. Recently featured in Dirty Linen and on more than 100 radio stations nationwide on NPR's "Harmonia", VOCO has released two critically acclaimed CDs in '08-'09: "Small Worlds" and "Circle, Square, Diamond & Flag". VOCO is sweet, hard-driving Americana mixed with crooked eastern European dance and dissonance. It's all rounded out with body-stompin' percussive movement and joyous, magnificent, hair-raising harmonies - music that mourns and dances at the same time.
"This is a truly phenomenal act, combining the energy of urban street singing with first-rate musicianship, folk roots and traditions from throughout the world. Their body percussion sets are a sight to behold"
- Folkworks Magazine
"I've just heard something...amazing: a quartet of young women known as moira smiley & VOCO. This is compelling and totally unique music...I'm increasingly blown away by it each time I put a disc in the player. (They) push the envelope of vocal music every which way - go there and be amazed."
