JILL
SOBULE
Jill Sobule belongs
to a rare breed of artists. Her work is at once deeply
personal and socially conscious, seriously funny and
derisively tragic. Over five albums and a decade of
recording, the Denver-born songwriter/guitarist/singer
has tackled such topics as the death penalty,
anorexia, shoplifting, reproduction, the French
resistance movement, adolescence, and the Christian
right. She entertains, amuses, provokes, and more
often then not, takes her audiences on an emotional
roller coaster, from comedy to pathos in a few bars of
music.
In the words of New York Times pop music critic
Jon Pareles, "Jill Sobule can claim her place
among the stellar New York singer-songwriters of the
last decade. Topical, funny and more than a little
poignant ... grown-up music for an adolescent
age."

CROOKED
STILL
Crooked Still's
genre-bending sound is the combination of five
distinctive talents who are not content to limit
themselves to any one project or style of music. They
inject new energy into their unique approach of
performing and reinterpreting traditional music with
the captivating and angelic voice of Aoife O'Donovan
and the virtuosic solos of banjo master Greg Liszt
offering a fresh perspective. "Crooked Still's
vision of string band and bluegrass music sounds like
nobody else's... they play their instruments
gorgeously, radiating warmth and [a] deep love of the
music and songs they play. Aoife O'Donovan has a voice
of rare, stunning purity and clarity." - Sing
Out
Special guests are the Carrivick Sisters - recent
finalists in the BBC Young Folk Musician of the year
award - wh are making a welcome return to Bristol.
Taking the best of bluegrass and English folk music,
they've come up with their own unique sound, perfectly
performed on their new record Jupiter's Corner.
"Jupiter's Corner is an album
littered with enticing tunes and songs from the heart,
a must for all bluegrass and English folk lovers.
Simply put, this is the best new album I’ve heard
for a long while." www.rambles.net
