Eric John Kaiser plays at FlipSide, Jan 25
Eric John Kaiser will be appearing in Pocatello, Jan 25 at the Flipside Lounge.
Eric John Kaiser, billed as "Portland's French Troubadour," delivers a modern pop-rock sound fusing rock, hip-hop and reggae wrapped in sophisticated French lyrics. (Think Manu Chao meets the 1969 Rolling Stones). He has been a fixture of the Portland music scene for several years now, since arriving from his native Paris, France, with more than 350 performances to his credit. He hosts the weekly "PDX Songwriter Showcase" at the Thirsty Lion each Tuesday night, and has performed in most of Portland's biggest venues, including the Wonder Ballroom where he opened for Stereophonics.
Eric tours also tours extensively in the US and Europe. This spring he headed through Canada and down to New Orleans (performing at the Smithsonian in DC), and from Portland to San Diego this June (performing at the prestigious deYoung Museum in SF).
He has recorded three full-length CDs.
He does a show set called "Pardon My French" - classic American rock songs covered in French. They're huge crowd-pleasers, with a great tavern/bar vibe - it gets people up, dancing & singing every time and - HONESTLY - while touring in June, Eric and the band got a $500 (!!!) tip from a guy in LA who was thrilled to hear "Take Me Home, Country Road"!

“Like über-producer/recording artiste Daniel Lanois, he's adept at seamlessly blending French and English lyrics with tasteful, sun-dappled sonics.”
-- Barbara Mitchell, The Portland Oregonian
“Seeing as we've managed to snag these continental talents, let's enjoy 'em!”
-- Cary Clarke, The Portland Mercury
“Eric John Kaiser's 2009 CD release 'French Troubadour' contains a full spectrum of great old style pop/rock songs, expertly written and delivered with engaging storytelling.”
-- Zaph Mann, OPB Music
"...you'd best get used to hearing French in Portland: Along with garage-pop cover band Les Étrangers, Kaiser is leading a bit of a Francophone resurgence in town, and it's one you don't need a beret to dig."
-- Michael Mannheimer, Willamette Week

Crystal Monee Hall in concert, Idaho Falls, 11/20
“Soul Alternative” Singer Crystal Monee Hall To perform at the Colonial Theater |
|
"Hall is a discrete, scrupulous vocalist whose unhurried phrasing belies the intensity of her music. Don't let the smooth look fool you — she's fierce."- East Bay Express
"The title track (River Train) sounds like an old spiritual...Hall sings in a style that recalls protest singers of the Sixties and Seventies: liquid, chillingly pure, full of vibrato without being ostentatious. -Rachel Swan, Music Critic
Idaho Falls, ID- Only one year out of RENT, Crystal Monee Hall has broken onto the scene in 2010 with her debut album "River Train", and performances at major festivals such as the Montreal Jazz Festival, Newport Jazz Festival, and the Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl. On Saturday November 20th, Crystal Monee Hall will be performing a very special show at the Colonial Theater in historic downtown Idaho Falls . Tickets are $29 and available by calling 208-522-0471.
Crystal Monee Hall is one of the most extraordinary vocal talents to emerge in recent years. Her voice, an intoxicating synthesis of effortless clarity and raw, soul-bearing grit, is an instrument capable of tremendous power and sensitivity. Matched with a down-home songwriting style marked by poetic lyrics and simple, elegant arrangements, Crystal ’s music smoothly combines the sounds of folk, gospel, jazz and blues. Before she began her solo career, Crystal was a featured vocalist with the nationally touring and Broadway productions of the Tony Award winning musical RENT.
Crystal Monee Hall's debut album, “River Train”, is full of strikingly candid songs of love, heartbreak, and sepia-toned memories of her southern roots. She is backed by an all-star ensemble of some of the Bay Area’s finest musicians including drummer Scott Amendola and members of the Jazz Mafia. Featuring beautifully stripped-down production and soulful instrumental accompaniment, River Train showcases Crystal ’s remarkable vocal talent and songs that grow more and more captivating with each repeated listen. Rachel Swan of the East Bay Express says that the title track (River Train) “sounds like an old spiritual”, and that “Hall sings in a style that recalls protest singers of the Sixties and Seventies: liquid, chillingly pure, full of vibrato without being ostentatious.” Crystal was also recently part of a smash hit YouTube spoof on Lady Gaga's hit song, "Telephone", where she played Beyonce in "Telephone: The Office Version." As of October 15, 2010, the video has over 1.25 million views. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsU9tz3d3OY

If you haven't already seen it, check out this video of a LIVE ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE of "Wouldn't Change A Thing" that was filmed in our new practice space.
If we win this second round of the contest, we'll be awarded some free studio time at the legendary Tainted Blue Studio in New York City on Times Square - it's easy to imagine how ecstatic we'd all be. We'd also all be more than a little thankful if anyone could find the time to visit http://testdriveacoustic.taylorguitars.com/, hit the share button, and vote as often as once a day.
New songs and shows are still in the works...keep us in mind ;)

Back by popular demand - this internationally popular, acoustic finger picking guitarist and singer, is known for his blues, gospel folk and New Orleans R&B roots music. Nominated for 9 W.C.Handy Blues Music Awards and winner of the "Best Newcomer" title in the British Blues Awards, Bibb has been appropriately described as "discreetly awesome" and "a totaloriginal." A performance by Eric Bibb is an enriching experience - both musically and spiritually. His music, like his personality, is intimate, assured and passionate, drawing listeners into the moment more as participants than spectators.
- JIGU! Thunder Drums of China, Wednesday, October 27, 2010
JIGU! In Chinese it means to 'beat or touch the drum'. Audiences clamor for more as they are thrilled by the powerful Thunder Drums of China!

The fine art of drumming and percussive performance is indicative of the culture of the Shanix province. Performances by JIGU! are deeply rooted in these folk origins, which are blended with many modern musical elements. Not only can you see and hear the action, but you can actually feel the intense sound!

Scot Bruce and Mike Albert team up to bring you the most riveting tribute to the "King of Rock & Roll" that you won't soon forget. Scot Bruce performs as Elvis, the way we remember him during his early career, followed by Mike Albert, who is superb as Elvis in his Vegas years. Together, they recreate the electrifying musical excitement of the King, in a live, biographical concert. This is one show guaranteed to have the audience ALL SHOOK UP! Playing to sellouts across the country, Scot and Mike make a terrific combination, and a very entertaining show. Their performances feature superb vocals, pleasant audience interaction and a dynamite back-up band.
- Collin Raye Christmas, Thursday, December 16, 2010
What started witht he simple desire to entertain has turned into something that is almost a holy calling for Collin Raye. Five times nominated as country music's Male Vocalist of the Year, Raye still puts on shows that are electrifying in their intensity. He is proud of his 5 Platinum albums, 25 Top Ten Hits, 15 No. 1 smashes and 12 chart-topping videos. "In the beginning, I wanted hits and all that," he reflects. "But what drives me now is what music means to people. Songs have landed on me that made me realize there's more to this than I thought. It's about entertaining people one minute and healing them the next." What has always set Collin Raye apart is his willingness to tackle lyrics that go far beyond typical love songs and dance ditties.

- Time for Three, Thursday, March 17, 2011
The groundbreaking, category-shattering trio Time for Three transcends traditional classification, with elements of classical, country western, gypsy and jazz idioms forming a blend all its own. The members, Zachary De Pue, violin, Nicolas Kendall, violin, and Ranaan Meyer, double bass, carry a passion for improvisation, composing and arranging, all prime elements of the ensemble's playing. To date, the group has performed hundreds of engagements as diverse as its music; from featured guest soloists with the Philadelphia Orchestra to opening for k. d. lang. Time for Three sets itself apart not only with its varied repertoire performed with astonishing technical acuity, but also through its approach.
- Red Chamber, Saturday, April 9, 2011
Red Chamber is hot - - steamy hot! Whether it is fast and furious string and music, the sultry beauty of Imperial Court Classics, or cutting edge contemporary creations, Red Chamber's fiery passion embodies every note. The quartet consists of Mei Han, leader, and internationally acclaimed zheng (zither) master and ethnomusicologist; Guillian Liu, is one of the world's leading pipa (lute) masters; Zhimin Yu is a ruan (lute) virtuoso, and was a principle player for the China Broadcast Performing Arts Troupe in Beijing; Geling Jiang is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist who started her professional career at the age of 10.

Bookings at Portneuf Valley Brewing, Aug. 2010
From Penny Pink, Brewer, General Manager and Owner of Portneuf Valley Brewing, 615. S. 1st Ave., Pocatello, Idaho 83201
After a LOT of thought and number crunching I finally figured out a way to offer more money for performers at PVB and still keep my entertainment budget in line. I've listened to many, many local and touring musicians and tried my best to come up with a compensation scale for the next year that is competitive for this region.
Here are the details for the scale I am able to offer for gigs booked after September 1, 2010:
Solo act - $100
Duo act - $200
Band of three or more performers - $300
Plus 25% discount on food and/or beverages for all performers on the night of the performance. We will no longer be doing the free drink tickets like we have in the past.
I've updated my musicians fact sheet and attached it to this note if you'd like additional information, please read it. If you have questions, just email me back and I'll do my best to answer them.
If you are interested in booking a gig, let me know and I'll see if I can get you on my calendar.
Cheers,
Penny Pink
