*******************
From Nat--
This December 20th, I will be producing the second annual Concert
Carnival. This is a multi-media, cabaret-style variety show with
amazing artists from across the country. The program this year will be
almost all new material and will feature a different cast of
characters from many artistic disciplines. However, the values of the
Concert Carnival remain the same: This is an opportunity for
performers (myself included) to step outside of their normal
performing context and try new stuff in new ways.
THE PERFORMERS:
Zach Gill (ALO/Jack Johnson), Jason Hann (String Cheese Incident),
Patch (Heavyweight Dub Champion), Evie Ladin (Stairwell Sisters),
Keith Terry (body percussionist from Crosspulse), Matt Butler
(Everyone Orchestra), Rodney & Helen, the Sweet Snacks, and all the
guys from Hot Buttered Rum.
THE VENUE & TICKETS:
The Independent
628 Divisadero St, SF, CA.
www.theindependentsf.com
G.A. $17
Reserve Table seats: $35 ($70/pair)
I highly recommend the limited number of Reserve Table seats. It's
truly a cabaret show and it feels right to sit and have drinks served
to you. There are four people to a table; Reserve Table seats are sold
in pairs and fours. G.A. is also great (there will be some times when
you'll want to boogie) and there's not a bad spot in the Independent.
PATRON SUPPORTING DINNER:
The Concert Carnival is a big production and, like a theatre company
or opera, depends on patronage beyond ticket sales to support it.
There are a handful of spots at the special Patron Dinner for folks
who want to help. Ticket holders who want to donate a little more can
come before doors to enjoy the culinary delights of Chef Angela from A
Fork Full of Earth, rub elbows with the performers and crew, receive a
special Concert Enhancement Goodie Bag, check out the soundcheck, and
get that warm fuzzy feeling of making a big thing happen. Email
carnival@HotButteredRum.net for more info. Guess what kind of tequila
you'll be drinking...
THE SHOW:
The setlist is top secret of course, but I'll mention a few things I'm
excited about this year:
1) Putting together a Palmwine Highlife band. This is a fun,
breezy style of Ghanaian music. In 1999 and 2001 I learned something
of the two-finger Palmwine style from a Ghanaian man named T.O. Jazz.
He passed away and I am excited to play some of his music in the
States.
2) Jason Hann rocks. I'm honored for him to be in the Carnival.
3) The body percussion and tap dancing of Keith Terry and Evie
Ladin. Keith has studied body percussion around the world and has
developed a style that can only be called spectacular. Evie is not
only a great dancer; she's also a first rate oldtime banjo player,
singer, and songwriter.
4) Singing with Zach Gill. He's one of the most soulful
songwriters around today and plays with another one of the best...
Zach's band ALO has known HBR since when High Sierra was still at Bear
Valley...
5) My favorite dub/trip-hop group is Heavyweight Dub Champion.
They made a career-defining performance in a headlining slot at Reggae
on the River last year (check this out at www.myspace.com/
heavyweightdubchampion). Patch is an amazing electro-acoustic musician
and also happens to be my cousin. He's working on some remixes of Hot
Buttered Rum music; it will also be fun to cook some stuff up
together.
6) I'm honored that my uncle and aunt Rodney and Helen are
going to be there. They have been a huge influence on me. To learn
more about their place in music history and the sexual revolution of
the 70s, check out the short movie on the MySpace page:

NKCC 2006 CD FOR SALE:

Monsoon, Peter Rowan/Tony Rice Quartet, Everyone Orchestra, and Hot
Buttered Rum. Songs on the CD include Be Kind Boys, Brokedown, Bliss
Monkeys, Emmylou, Every Stone We Lay, La Poblanita, and a lot more.
