31 January 2009, 7:30 p.m., The Sacred Shakers and Mark Brine at The Nave
Band website
$12.50, $10 students and seniors.
For The Sacred Shakers, there's nothing finer than old-time, country
and blues-influenced gospel music. Think Hank Williams, The Carter
Family, The Stanley Brothers, Son House, and Mississippi Fred McDowell.
Beginning in 2005, that music drew a small but ever-widening circle of
some of Boston's finest musicians and vocalists together at the Country
Gospel Brunch concert series. In short order, The Boston Globe
described the group as "a local Who's Who of all-star roots musicians."
7 February 2009, 1-5 p.m., Reading: Books of Hope, Youth Poetry and Prose at The Nave

14 February 2009, 7:30 p.m., Valentines Show with Audrey Ryan, Strand of Oaks, and Lewis & Clarke at The Nave
Audrey Ryan • Strand of Oaks • Lewis & Clarke
$8.
Maine native Audrey Ryan performs solo shows with instruments that
include an electric Japanese axe, a vintage Gibson acoustic, a retro
80's era Casio keyboard, and of course, an accordion. Surrounded by a
cacophony of musical influences from an early age, this talented
musician was inspired to begin playing guitar at the ten and
experimented with different genres throughout college. After
graduating, Ryan started a band and has been performing and touring
ever since.
"Ryan is an intriguing new singer....She is a jazz-pop artist whose
influences would appear to range from Joni Mitchell to Edie Brickell.
And she has a high-pitched voice with original phrasing and backup that
includes her own impressively syncopated work on electric, acoustic,
and classical guitars, as well as her standout violin lines, which lift
a song when you least expect it... Ryan has a literary sensibility,
writing about the isolation of the computer age, overbearing friends,
and the nostalgia of childhood." -Boston Globe (Steve Morse)
Strand of Oaks is Timothy Showalter, an Indiana Mennonite turned
Pennsylvania Hebrew Dayschool teacher who even drives the school bus
for extra cash (and has sing-alongs with the pupils as they ease on
down the road). Taking cues from such luminaries as Neil Young (On the
Beach era) and a burgeoning Springsteen, Showalter extends his musical
gesture and searches to find modesty in the midst of confusion,
addressing insecurities and settling existential debt with a simple and
beautiful delivery. The personification of a Midwestern Grandfather's
advice, his songs smack with hard truth and poignant severity, from
child-like naivete to heart worn wisdom... sparse guitar, hammond,
rhodes and wooden instruments support an atmosphere that is tender and
raw, at times uncomfortable, shockingly candid, and unforgettable.
The most recent musical styling of Lewis & Clarke can be described
as avant chamber folk, or neo-baroque, while the first 2003
self-release Bright Light EP represents a reflective, dusty Americana
sound. In 2003, MAGNET magazine declared Rogai as "a gifted newcomer".
Xavier Benoit, owner of the Belgian Delboy Records, discovered the
early incarnation of Lewis & Clarke while on tour in the US,
prompting Delboy to release Lewis & Clarke's debut full length Bare
Bones and Branches in Europe. This was supported by a short tour of the
Benelux, and the album was met with critical acclaim. A live Lewis
& Clarke track surfaced on a compilation issued by PIAS entitled
Duyster, a "best of" compilation from Belgian National Radio's program
of the same name. Also featured were contemporaries Joanna Newsom,
Mogwai, and Cat Power.

7 March 2009, 7:30 p.m., Adrien and the Fine Print, Tallahassee, Tea Not War at The Nave
Adrien and the Fine Print • Tallahassee • Tea Not War
$5
Adrien and the Fine Print are a five piece band out
of the Back Bay
area of Boston, assembled through happenstance and circumstance at the
music college all the members attend. With a rich sound and a sharp,
intelligent focus on the craft of songwriting, Adrien and the Fine
Print have cut their teeth in charismatic performances all over the
greater Boston area. A recent review of a show at Wellesley College
thanked the band for “bringing good music out to Wellesley.” With a
girl from the north country (Elisabeth), a boy from the Peach
Tree state (Mitch), a young lady from the Mid-Atlantic states (Renee),
and two sons of the South (Adrien and Joey), Adrien and the Fine Print
derive their sound from every fold of the American tapestry. They are a
contemporary sound rooted in tradition - from Laurel Canyon to Sun, New
York to Nashville. If you get a chance, go check them out. The songs
are decent and the band ain't too bad to look at.
In a sea of whispery indie folk acts and tired, old-timey pastiche,
Tallahassee set themselves apart with infectious melodies and
impeccable craft. Formed in Providence, RI in early 2008, the band is comprised of a
graphic designer, a printmaker and a former NFL offensive lineman
turned social worker. Together, with the help of a revolving cast of
musical friends, they use traditional instruments to craft catchy, folk
and country inspired indie pop.

28 March 2009, 8:00 p.m., Bob Franke & Martin Grosswendt at The Nave
Bob Franke website
$15 door; $12.50 advance; $10 students and seniors.
Bob Franke (it rhymes with "Yankee") is at the peak of his considerable
craft; brimming with the wise and spiritually generous songs for which
he is best known, along with wrenchingly convincing topical songs and
sugared with the hilarious. His are the kind of songs that really do
have the power to change the world by being taken into the lives of
people. They come to you, these songs. As Tom Paxton says, "It's his
integrity. I always think of Bob as if Emerson and Thoreau had picked
up acoustic guitars and gotten into songwriting. There's touches of
Mark Twain and Buddy Holly in there, too."
Martin Grosswendt is a masterful, soulful player, top-notch teacher,
and musicologist. He is absolutely the real deal - music courses his
veins, and its authenticity is conveyed effortlessly in the music that
comes through his hands and heart.

jazz" for her polyrhythmic yet strait interpretations of standards. She
has completed four solo piano CD albums in the last seven years and

of her compositions.

$10, $8 advance.
The Nave Gallery presents The Accident That Led Me To the World, an
all-acoustic, non-percussive chamber folk trio from Massachusetts. The
name was derived from a song that band member Mark Mandeville (guitar,
banjo, vocals) wrote called "The Accident That Led Me To The World,"
which he then elaborated into the concept of an allegorical narrative
involving a boy who sails away to an island to be alone. From this
concept sprung an entire album's worth of songs, and Mandeville
incorporated Raianne Richards (guitar, clarinet, vocals) and Zack Ciras
(upright bass) to flesh out the material.
The result was the eponymous 2006 debut released on Nobody's Favorite
Records, an angular, concise mixture of bluegrass picking, sea chantey
sing-a-longs, and folk singer-songwriting. This release was followed by
2008's The Island Gospel, more expansive, more focused, and more
lyrical than its predecessor, and which also travels a more
country-driven direction. The Island Gospel also continues the
allegorical narrative concept that was begun on the first album, and
both albums feature artwork which illustrates the narrative.
"There are moments, whilst listening to the fragile masterpiece that is
Nervous Hands, that you become so in tune with the record, so absorbed
that you basically hanging on every last strum or hushed vocal
utterance that you wonder what else this band might be capable of in
the future."

Metal and Glass Ensemble • buy tickets
$7 donation.
Come enjoy the acoustic drone music of Boston's one and only Metal and
Glass Ensemble! We will be presenting two concerts this month, joined
by several special guests. Be prepared to take in some incredible long
tones and be transformed. Metal & Glass Ensemble is a
Boston-based improvisational group with
a rotating membership who create acoustic drone-based music with bowed
cymbals and other metal objects, and glasses tuned to a just-intoned
23-note octave. This just scale, employing whole-number ratios akin to
a natural harmonic overtone series, is the only formal tuning used in
the group. The bowed metal generates its own shifting but interrelated
pitch classes, while the instrumental players contribute using a
variety of microtonal intonations. In this way the music is liberated
from the 12-tone equal-tempered octave, and explores a broad spectrum
of harmonic relationships. The ensemble uses a structured
improvisational scheme (such as a chart or graphic score) to give each
performance a specific form. In some cases the structure is conceptual,
expressed through verbal imagery. The music itself evolves gradually
over time, often conveying a meditative quality.

The
Nave Gallery is proud to feature its first one man show featuring the
photography and video of longtime Boston area artist Charles Daniels.
This exhibit title is especially appropriate since it comes from a 1979
Led Zeppelin album, and many local rock fans know Daniels better as
the“Masterblaster,” former emcee from the infamous Boston Tea Party,
where Zeppelin once played. Daniels’ art has grown since the Tea Party
days, expanding from fashion and music to dance, performance, and
everything in between. "In Through the Out Door" is a rare opportunity
to see not only his older photographs but also his newer video work,
all in one space.

Starnes & Shah is the folk-rock duo of Dania Abu-Shaheen
(Arab rock'n'roll hopeful/singer/songwriter guitarist) and Zilpha
Starnes (Texan choir girl/vocalist/keyboardist). In 2005, this unlikely
pair began delivering music to New York audiences that always left the
bar wanting to hear more. Described by bassist Matt Noble as
'psychedelic folk', Pink White Blue Green is a musical tilt-a-whirl
spinning with rock energy dipping in and out of the expected and the
strange. Launched to space and back, The Arab expat and Dixie deportee
prove to listeners that no matter how peculiar or mundane the
surroundings, Starnes & Shah always have something to say that's
definitely worth listening to.

years. Caleb grew up playing classical piano, and picked up the guitar
at the age of fourteen. He began writing songs almost immediately and
continues to write primarily for guitar, while also writing songs for
piano, ukulele, and banjo. Caleb's unique blend of Americana and
Folk-Rock has gained him a devoted following and has led him to open up
for artists from VACO (Virginia Coalition) to Brad Corrigan of
DISPATCH. Caleb's strong stage presence along with his soulful and
energetic live show make him a performer not worth missing.

a piano-led group carol sing, a surprise visit from Santa Claus
himself, and free egg nog, cookies and cider! This year is going to be
even merrier; a truly awesome event for the *whole* family that will
get you ready--and excited!--for this holiday season!
As always, there will be a prize for the best Christmas sweater, so
*please* dress the part, and come ready to sing, smile and feel the
warmth of community. The cookies, cider and nog will be back, and
remember, the Good Cheer Festival is a free event, open to one and all!
Yay!
