Beautiful Voices, Wonderful People: Fiona Dickinson, Told Slant, Deep Waters, Florist @ ithinkyercute House 10.14

Leave a reply

This Monday, two New York artists, TOLD SLANT and FLORIST will be touring into Kalamazoo to perform in the new(er) house venue, the ithinkyercute house.

This show will incorporate elements of folk, coupled with spacious and intense ambient influence. All the artists are guaranteed to make you feel some feel.

TOLD SLANT is a three piece indie folk outfit headed by distinct-sounding singer Felix Walworth. Though the songs our simple, they have a compelling strong honest feel that is hard to ignore. Plus, their live presentation is unconventional, as can be seen here:

Told Slant is on tour with FLORIST who play spacey, off-kilter folk music. The sort of music that is perfect for fall, and for sitting in a home self-reflecting with all your friends.

Supporting these traveling folks will be FIONA DICKINSON,  a local favorite as far as intense folk songwriting, and a true powerhouse when it comes to an honestly compelling live presence. DEEP WATERS will also be performing richly complex and thoughtful compositions. Sometimes performed with guitars, sometimes keyboards – just going to have to show up to find out!

This show is starting at 8:00, Please bring money for the traveling acts. Respect the house, the bands, yourself.

ithinkyercute is a fairly new location in town, so if you need the address email ditkalamazoo@gmail.com.

Kalamazoo is such a Drag (City): Alasdair Roberts! 7/22

Folk music is a distantly-permeating phenomenon that spans continents and centuries. Here in the US, we get a great deal of influence from traditions across the pond. Well, some of that tradition is visiting us here in the Zoo tonight, and Representing Drag City Records while he does.

ALASDAIR ROBERTS Will finger-pick the sauce out of a six-string while he sings songs that are deep, regal, and charming all at once. His voice is strong but not over-bearing, his accent ever-present without being distracting. ‘Swonderful.

Supporting this bill tonight, Double Phelix recording artist FIONA DICKINSON will be playing her own brand of folk-infused music. Sweeping and swelling musical colors cushion a soulful and emotive voice. A Kalamazoo favorite.

Finally, one of my personal favorite acts that this city has to offer, ALEX QUINLAN will be pickin’ and a-grinin’. His bass-baritone is gritty, yet soothing all at once. He sings songs about post-industrialism and sentimentality (and occasionally a Grieg quote or two). Again with the finger-style six-string, though in an entirely different way from Alasdair. Hopefully his brother Marcus and his upright bass can make it, too.

The music starts tonight at 8pm at the 411 Club (411 N. Westnedge, Kalamazoo, attached the Metro). The door is 5 bucks, but all that scratch goes to Alasdair. Unfortunately, this particular gig is 18+ (sorry guys).
