A heartfelt thank you to the musicians, patrons, sponsors, volunteers and kind listeners who joined us for MusicNOW. Each Note Secure has posted a couple of videos — Annie Clark and Justin Vernon performing Roslyn, and a bit of Robin Pecknold, as well as interviews and reviews. Thank you to our photographers, Keith Klenowski and Chris Glass (His photos of MusicNOW can be found at Stereogum).
Good evening Cincinnati. Thank you to everyone has been a part of this year’s event. There may be a handful of tickets at the door. Doors open at approximately 7 pm. (not a promise). Colin Stetson will perform at 8 pm and Justin Vernon will perform at approximately 9:45 pm. This is a general admission show. Not a bad seat in the house!
Joanna Newsom releases a 3 CD, Have One On Me, today, February 23rd. Primarily a harpist and songwriter, her previous release Ys included arrangements by Van Dyke Parks. A restless innovator, Newsom continues to explore new territory. Robin Pecknold will open the evening.
The versatile and nimble ensemble of New York based musicians share conservatory training and an adventurous spirit. Individually and collectively they have collaborated with a wide variety of musicians and performed an ambitious range of music. Their contributions can be heard in performances and recordings from artists from Jay-Z, Bjork, The New York Philharmonic, David Byrne, Meredith Monk to Sufjan Stevens.
St Vincent, featuring Annie Clark, released Actor in 2009 and found themselves included in many best of the year lists. The combination of Clark’s guitar work, vocals and arrangements have been described as consistently captivating. Her recent collaborations include an appearance on David Byrne’s record, and a new “group” with Justin Vernon, “Songer Singwriter” for a Haiti benefit. At MusicNOW she will premiere new work written for the occasion.
Justin Vernon (in Bon Iver), burst into the public consciousness with the release of For Emma and the story of music recorded in a Wisconsin cabin. Vernon can also be found in Volcano Choir and contributing the “Big Red Machine” track to the Dark Was the Night compilation.
