Darrell Scott CD Release
Presented by Club Passim at Club Passim February 12, 2012 Much of the commentary about Darrell Scott’s career has focused on the songs he’s written that have been recorded by famous names and voices – those known in music industry parlance as “artists.” But then there’s the actual word artist, whose definition has nothing to do with radio hits and red carpets. We refer of course to those who create artifacts of aesthetic and intellectual contemplation and wonder, built from experience, skill, reflection and...

Väsen
Presented by Club Passim at Club Passim February 17, 2012 Olov Johansson and Mikael Marin started playing together as teenagers around 1980. During the early 1980's they would regularly visit Curt and Ivar Tallroth and Eric Sahlström, older musicians who lived nearby in the Uppland region, where they would play and learn traditional music from them. In this way they became a link in the living tradition that Swedish folk music has enjoyed through the centuries. "The sound may be traditional, but the attitude is completely modern, mixing...

Anais Mitchell CD Release Show, Rachel Ries opens
Presented by Club Passim at Club Passim February 23, 2012 From her current home base in a 200-year-old farmhouse in rural Vermont, Anais (“uh-NAY-iss”) Mitchell writes songs that are as intimate as conversations and as rich in detail as short stories. She is the rare musician who is equally comfortable wielding an acoustic guitar alone onstage, sharing a disc’s worth of alt-country duets, or scripting a vast operatic journey into the underworld. She’s a fearless explorer, and her world just keeps getting larger....
