An EVENING with one of 2009's Greatest New Acts, in their AllGood Cafe debut.
Promises to be a very special night !!!
telegraph2.jpg Dallas Observer Best in Local Music '09
Best Album "Tide and the Current"
Best Song "Shake Your Fist"
TELEGRAPH CANYON

Sprawling Fort Worth, TX septet write alarming small songs, ornamented with accordion and violin — quiet little alt-country numbers that work their way toward irresistible choruses. ―Rolling Stone

Telegraph Canyon...an epic take on Americana that sits as comfortably with Broken Social Scene as it does with Old 97’s, both of whom it’s opened for. ―A.V. Austin The Onion

The Tide and The Current stands as one of the decade's without-a-doubt best. ―Dallas Observer

Telegraph Canyon's new album is a triumph of musical alchemy. ―QUICK / Dallas Morning News

Masterful. A thrilling, tightly focused tour de force that spans a range of genres. ―Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Ethereal in the way of Fleet Foxes and Band of Horses, The Current steeps its beauty in poignancy and heartbreak. "A Light In The Field" is a soaring piece of space rock with its blistering guitars and Doves-ish vocals. ―Radio Free Silver Lake

A soul-bearing, deliberately paced, at-once epic and restrained force, beautifully arranged both in its instrumentation and in its vocal harmonies. A surefire contender for best area release of 2009, the disc more than solidifies the band's rightful place among the region's best. ―Dallas Observer

Telegraph Canyon gave the headliners a run for their money, fashioning an explosive set out of material from the just-released The Tide and the Current. Frontman Chris Johnson, alternating between banjo and acoustic guitar, led the seven-piece, Fort Worth-based combo through songs stormy and stunning. Telegraph Canyon, likewise making its Bass Hall debut, displayed a confidence and bombast marking them as stars on the rise. ―Fort Worth Star-Telegram (Bass Hall show review)

Spaced out Americana RIYL My Morning Jacket, Centro-matic and Wilco. “Into the Woods” sounds like an introduction–to a record, to a band, to a sound. ―One-Track-Mind.com

The band creates an amazing authentic sound wave that makes your eardrum beat like it probably never did before. If you like bands like Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, The Low Anthem or My Morning Jacket, than Telegraph Canyon is major league for you. No question ask this band rocks! ―Real Roots Café / Netherlands

On The Tide and The Current, the band has presented the world with a record overflowing with anthemic, passionate alt-country, complete with thick layers of rock and folk that bolster the songs against the naysayers. ―Dryvetymeonlyne.com

A release that justifies everything else. The honesty of Neil Young...the open-heartedness of a voice like Joe Cocker. One genius stroke of emotionally powerful and viscerally-jarring music. The Tide and the Current is a worthy listen; don’t let this be one of the releases you miss out on. ―Adequacy.net

The Tide And The Current is an incredibly pleasant experience and highly recommended for fans of the dark folk genres. I’d advise listening on a rainy night with your favorite set of headphones as the experience is incredibly personal. ―Rocksellout.com

The Tide and the Current captures a band evolving from first track to last, stepping up and grabbing hold of what is rightfully theirs. In Telegraph Canyon’s case, that might just be the mantle of the region’s most promising act — in any genre. It’s the perfect contradiction: A band very much engrained in the local scene that, through the sheer force of its art and depth of skill, also stands apart from it. ―Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Telegraph Canyon expertly blends the rustic, organic tones of harmonica, viola, organ and acoustic guitar with the technological muscle and intricately processed electronics ―West Coast Performer

They navigate the pre-apocalyptic universe by the light of bright acoustic riffs and to the march of thunderous beats, everything guided by the spirit of frontman Chris Johnson's ominous, the end-is-near lyrics. ―Fort Worth Weekly

The space and warmth of early My Morning Jacket. This’ll be the sleeper set this weekend, the one we’ll be talking about Monday morning. ―San Diego Reader

If the Arcade Fire were a little more country and a little less Quebecois, the band would sound like fellow apocalyptic ensemble Telegraph Canyon. ―Seattle Weekly

MARSHALL FORD SWING BAND

Listening to the Marshall Ford Swing Band is a pure joy! Emily and Greg are two of the finest young singers around, and so is James! This generation of swing musicians is as inspired and accomplished as its predecessors, and their selection of material makes me jealous it’s so cool!! Great guitarists, cookin’ rhythm section, great vocals and arrangements — what a band! And Danny Levin, too! Having known Emily since she was a baby, it’s delightful to listen to her amazing voice on "It's About Dam Time." Buy it, put it on your record machine or CD player, snap your fingers and dance the night away! ―Ray Benson, Asleep at the Wheel

Really Special Show - SURE to fill up FAST. Get There EARLY !!!
SCOTT H. BIRAM & The Dirt Daubers

“An impassioned multi-instrumentalist unleashing a brutal cacophany with the fury of someone whose check from the Devil finally cleared. Half dirty blues, half underground punk, half honky-tonk, half revival meeting…oh shut up about the math. You’ll see the light.” ―Dayna Papaleo, Rochester City News

“His barbarous exorcism of Depression-era blues—with a bedrock of frantic flatpicking, foot stomps into a floor mike, and gutteral growls through a distortion mike—has made Biram a rising star in Austin.” ―Brian T. Atkinson, No Depression

“Biram is the kind of guy you don’t laugh at all the way just in case he really is crazy. We all wanna be entertained, but nobody wants to get stabbed in the head with a screwdriver.” ―Frank de Blase, Rochester City News

“With a raw immediacy that recalls Hasil Adkins and Bob Log III, Biram specializes in a twisted hybrid of gutbucket, hillbilly and godless metal. He’ll praise the virtues of moonshine and titty bars one minute, then tongue-lash city slickers and hippies the next.” ―John La Briola, Houston Press

Rock ‘n’ Roll ain’t pretty and neither is Scott H. Biram. The self proclaimed ‘Dirty Old One Man Band’ successfully, and sometimes violently, lashes together blues, hillbilly and country precariously to raucous punk and godless metal.

Scott H. Biram won’t die. On May 11th, 2003, one month after being hit head-on by an 18-wheeler at 75 MPH, he took the stage at The Continental Club in Austin, TX in a wheel chair – I.V. still dangling from his arm. With 2 broken legs, a broken foot, a broken arm and 1 foot less of his lower intestine, Biram unleashed his trademark musical wrath.

When Scott H. Biram took the stage at his 2004 SXSW festival showcase right after Kris Kristofferson he was quoted as growling “They said that was a hard act to follow….I’m a hard act to follow motherfuckers!!” The stunned crowd looked on.

backsliders The BAcksliders

Offering one of the most mesmerizing live performances in music today, THe BAcksliders have managed to blast on to the scene combining the best elements of rock & roll and country/soul.

Led by Kim Pendleton (formerly of Polygram recording artist Vibrolux) and husband Chris Bonner (Sons of Sound). THe BAcksliders songwriting reflects both their environment and relationship borrowing from such elements as Memphis soul, classic country, southern rock and punk. Backed by local rhythm greats Nolan Thies(Lauren Fine) on bass and Taylor Young(Young Heart Attack, Polyphonic Spree) on drums. Their third and newest full-length album, "Thank You", is available for free download on their website, www.thebacksliders.com as of May 2009.
