You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \nDon Edwards\nDon represents the best of what Great Basin Arts and Entertainment is all about. He is a truly great singer\, guitar player\, folklorist\, storyteller\, engaging entertainer\, and one of the finest gentlemen we have ever met. \nThis Grammy nominated singer-guitarist continues to build a legacy that enriches our vision of the American West. In tales of the day-to-day lives and emotions of those who have lived it\, his ballads paint a sweeping landscape of both mind and heart\, keeping alive the sights\, sounds and feelings of this most American contribution to culture and art. The quality of this cowboy balladeer’s music stems from the fact that he is so much more than a singer. Bobby Weaver of the National Cowboy Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City\, summed up Edwards’ importance as “… the best purveyor of cowboy music in America today.” \nAn historian\, author\, and musicologist\, unusually well – versed in cowboy lore and musical traditions\, Don brings a rare complement of knowing and loving his craft. Mostly though\, there is the soul of a poet; a man who has never succumbed to the temptations of presenting a glamorized or romanticized version of the West. Edwards deals with bad weather\, petty motivations\, sadness\, nostalgia and longing\, as parts of the landscape like any other. \n \nThe son of a vaudeville magician\, Don was aware as a child of a vast cross-section of music from classical to jazz\, and blues to western-swing. Many of those influences enter his own music as they did the music of the West. Edwards was drawn to the cowboy life by the books of Will James and was presented the Will James Society’s “Big Enough Award” which is presented annually to someone who personifies the Western and Cowboy way of life and their achievements. He also loved the ‘B’ Westerns of the silver screen\, particularly those featuring “sure-‘nuff cowboys” like Tom Mix and Ken Maynard. He taught himself guitar at age ten\, and in 1961\, he got his first professional job as an actor/singer/stuntman at Six Flags Over Texas. In 1964\, Don released his first recording on REN Records of Dallas. \nDon became part owner of The White Elephant Saloon in the Fort Worth Stockyards where ballad hunter and historian\, John Lomax collected cowboy songs. Subsequently\, Esquire magazine named The White Elephant one of America’s 100 best bars. Edwards also began playing throughout Oklahoma and Texas\, and with the birth of the Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko\, Nevada\, he achieved widespread recognition. He has now entertained throughout the United States\, Canada\, Great Britain\, Ireland\, New Zealand\, Europe and the Far East. \nDon Edwards has two recorded anthologies of cowboy songs\, Guitars & Saddle Songs and Songs of the Cowboy\, included in the Folklore Archives of the Library of Congress. These anthologies have been re-recorded and expanded for Western Jubilee Recording Company as the 32-song double CD/cassette\, Saddle Songs. This project was awarded first place as the Best Folk/Traditional Album at the annual 1998 INDIE Awards Ceremony. National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City has awarded Edwards five prestigious Wrangler Awards for Outstanding Traditional Western Music. He has received multiple awards from the Western Music Association for Male Vocalist and Performer of the Year. Edwards\, along with co-presenter\, Waddie Mitchell\, was seen on the network-televised Academy of Country Music Awards and was the featured performer for the Los Angeles’ Golden Boot Awards. In April 2000\, Edwards was immortalized onto the Walk of Western Stars by the City of Santa Clarita\, CA. \nDon has presented seminars at Yale\, Rice\, Texas Christian and other universities. His recordings under the Warner Western label\, Goin’ Back to Texas\, Songs of the Trail \, The Bard & The Balladeer and West of Yesterday spawned a new audience for his craft. The summer of 1997 found Don Edwards in Livingston\, Montana portraying the role of Smokey in Robert Redford’s film The Horse Whisperer. In addition to his acting/singing role\, Don is featured on the MCA soundtrack. In May of 1998\, to coincide with The Horse Whisperer theater release\, Warner’s compiled and released The Best of Don Edwards while Western Jubilee offered Don’s My Hero Gene Autry recorded live at Mr. Autry’s 90th Birthday. His next two recordings for Western Jubilee resulted in two more visits to Oklahoma City\, both receiving the Outstanding Traditional Western Music Recording of the Year – A Prairie Portrait (April 2001) with Waddie Mitchell and the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra and Kin To The Wind\, Memories of Marty Robbins (April 2002). In the Fall of 2002\, Western Jubilee released an important special project: Don Edwards and Bluegrass icon\, Peter Rowan teamed up on High Lonesome Cowboy. This recording traces the roots of Western music from Appalachia to Abilene and includes legendary musicians\, Norman Blake and Tony Rice. High Lonesome Cowboy resulted in a Grammy nomination for 2002 – the first time Cowboy music has ever been nominated for this prestigious award. In 2003\, Western Jubilee offers Saddle Songs II – Last of the Troubadours\, 32 more Classic Cowboy Songs\, which was followed by Don’s newest book\, Saddle Songs – A Cowboy Songbag. 2005 found Don Edwards’ solo concert and personal appearance schedule the busiest to date. The Warner Herzog film production\, Grizzly Man was released featuring Don’s recording of Coyotes at the conclusion of the movie. In April 2007\, Don Edwards newest Western Jubilee recording Moonlight And Skies received the Wrangler Award (his sixth) for Outstanding Traditional Western Album of the Year from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The album contains Coyotes along with 12 other little gems Don found along the trail. \nThe richness of Don’s voice coupled with an unforgettable stage presentation makes Don Edwards America’s number one Western singer and concert attraction. The accolades have been simply added bonuses for Edwards\, who sings what he does out of love and respect for the genre. Don’s career continues to blossom\, and luckily for all who care about it\, he has because of his sincere approach\, added much to the literature and music of the West\, passing on to the rest of us a rich legacy.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \nRoy Book Binder at the Martin 2008\nThe great Roy Book Binder is set to play a concert at the Martin Hotel on Friday\, September 7th. Something of a national treasure\, Book Binder plays blues in the Piedmont style\, a very old East Coast tradition based on ragtime and multi-part gospel guitar techniques. \nBesides being a musical giant with unexceeded technique\, Book Binder is known as a crowd-pleasing entertainer with deft comic timing\, an encyclopedic knowledge of American roots music history\, and an inexhaustible supply of tales collected over a lifetime of traveling and performing with greats like Brownie McGhee\, Sonny Terry\, Rock Bottom\, Fats Kaplin\, Doc Watson\, Bonnie Raitt\, and Ray Charles. \nBook Binder emerged alongside pal Dave van Ronk in the New York City coffeehouse scene of the mid-60s\, the beginning of the so-called “folk revival.” And\, his repertoire includes “Bookaroo” songs\, played in a folk style reminiscent of Rambling Jack Elliot\, and Don Edwards. \nBook Binder’s real bailiwick\, though\, is blues in the East Coast or “Piedmont” style\, named for the plateau that stretches from Richmond\, Virginia to Atlanta\, Georgia. The style evolved in the 20s\, 30s\, and 40s\, when ragtime\, parlor\, and gospel guitar players like Blind Blake\, Blind Boy Fuller\, and Reverend Gary Davis began applying polyphonic finger-picking technique to the blues. Book Binder perfected his Piedmont technique as Davis’s protégé\, working as the blind virtuoso’s driver and side-man during the late 1960s. \nBook Binder has recorded seven albums\, most in a “hillbilly” blues style that includes plenty of colorful banter between the tracks. Often\, the stories and jokes stretch back to Book Binder’s formative years on the road with the Reverend Davis. Though based on old-time techniques\, his songs sound fresh and relevant\, often featuring original lyrics re-spun to reflect contemporary themes. \nBook Binder continues to perform solo shows around the world\, the last time we saw him he was about to leave for the Blues Festival in Hell Norway where he appeared along with Ramblin’ Jack and many other greats. He also teaches at MerleFest and the Fur Peace School\, and keeps an entertaining travel “blog” on his website\, RoyBookBinder.com. \nSo\, if you’re in town over the weekend\, don’t miss the chance to see one of the great bluesmen of all time\, up close and personal\, right here in Winnemucca. The show starts at 7 PM on Friday\, September 7th\, at the Martin Hotel on Railroad Street.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \n \nThis may turn out to be the happiest incident of serendipity yet this year. Great Basin Arts and Entertainment has managed to snag one of the most compelling performers traveling the roads of America\, to play at show at the Martin on Thursday night. \nDave Alvin\, is a Grammy award winning guitarist\, singer and songwriter\, and a proponent of Americana music. He is a former founding member of The Blasters\, who are often credited with helping launch the American roots rock scene in the early ’80s. Combining the revved-up energy of punk rock with an enthusiastic embrace of classic American sounds\, the Blasters became a sensation in Los Angeles and won an enthusiastic cult following across the United States and Europe. Dave went on to play guitar in the famed Los Angeles punk band X\, and with members of X formed the alternative county outfit the Knitters. Alvin and his current road band the Guilty Ones will perform at the Martin at 7:00 PM on Thursday. \nDave Alvin\, who Rolling Stone Magazine calls “an under recognized guitar hero”\, is steeped in Americana – not just the genre but a deep river of American myth that keeps giving him characters to write about. Alvin is an acute observer of the human condition and he fills his songs with small towns\, highways and losers we imagine he’s encountered on countless tours. He sings in a throaty rumble reminiscent of Hoyt Axton and Greg Brown about love and loss and ghosts of things past. \nIn 1989\, Dwight Yoakam scored a hit on the country charts with Alvin’s song “Long White Cadillac\,” In 2000\, Alvin recorded a collection of traditional folk and blues classics\, Public Domain: Songs from the Wild Land\, which earned him a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album. \nWhen not busy recording his own music\, Alvin has also worked as a producer for several other roots-oriented acts\, including Tom Russell\, the Derailers\, and Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys\, and he has collaborated with rockabilly legend Sonny Burgess. As a sideman\, Alvin has recorded sessions with the likes of Ramblin’ Jack Elliott\, Little Milton\, Katy Moffatt\, and Syd Straw. \nDave Alvin and the Guilty Ones will perform at 7:00 PM on Thursday\, September 13\, 2012 as part of Great Basin Arts and Entertainment’s Music at the Martin series. $15 tickets are available at Nature’s Corner\, Global Coffee and at the Martin Hotel. \n  URL:https://gbae.org/event/dave-alvin-and-the-guilty-ones/ LOCATION:Martin Hotel\, 94 W Railroad St\, Winnemucca\, NV\, 89445 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gbae.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/ALVIN3_BETHHERZHAFT560.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="GBAE.org":MAILTO:contact@gbae.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121026T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20121026T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122038 CREATED:20121007T015003Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230131T032634Z UID:2072-1351278000-1351285200@gbae.org SUMMARY:The Crooked Jades DESCRIPTION:Familiar Old-Time Embraced by the Strange\n7:00 PM Friday\, October 26\, 2012\nThe $15.00 tickets are on sale now at the Martin Hotel\, Nature’s Corner\, and Global Coffee. You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \n \n“Grounded in tradition\, old-time string band music and mountain blues but with open horizons that take them\, subtly\, to other parts of the planet\, they have a haunting spookiness\, an organic pulse\, and most importantly a clear vision…Instrumentally they’re truly inspiring\, getting original textures out of conventional stringband instruments and mixing them with (in this context) oddities like bass ukulele\, harmonium\, mbira\, cello and Vietnamese jaw harp and bau zither. Vocally\, they have that lonesome white blues sound which has its ancestry in Dock Boggs and the Carters but again they take it somewhere else…a consistently startling and addictive album.”\n– The Crooked Jades “Shining Darkness”  Reviewed by Ian Anderson\nin UK magazine f ROOTS \nPerforming driving dance tunes and haunting ballads with an amazing array of vintage and eclectic instruments\, The Crooked Jades are modern innovators in the old-time Americana world\, creating a cinematic sound based on Americana roots infused with the diverse musical influences of Europe and Africa.On a mission to reinvent old world music\, they bring their soulful performances (brilliantly suprising arrangements of obscure old tunes mixed with beautiful original compositions) to clubs\, concert halls and festivals around the united States and Europe. \nBased in San Francisco\, founded by leader Jeff Kazor and nurtured by the vibrant West coast\, California and Ba Area bluegrass and old-time music scenes\, the Crooked Jades play with a thrilling and hyponotic energy which has inspired director Sean Penn to include a turn from World’s on Fire ih his most recent film Into the Wild\, fans on their feet dancing and critics comparing them to everyone from the New Lost City Ramblers and The Pouges to Nick Cave\, Tom Waits\, and Gillian Welch. \nAppealing as much to the pierced generation as to their great-grandparents\, this is sepia tones\, bent angles\, unexpected accents\, unanticipated sounds.  It’s banjo ukeuleles\, minstrel banjos\, plucked fiddles\, bowed basses\, Hawaiian slide guitars\, harmoniums and Vietnamese jaw harps together in fiery\, artful\, harmony.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \n \nFoghorn Stringband is the shining gold standard for American stringband music\, with seven albums\, thousands of shows\, over a decade of touring under their belts\, and two entirely new generations of old-time musicians following their lead. Through all this\, they’ve never let the music grow cold; instead they’ve been steadily proving that American roots music is a never-ending well of inspiration. From their origins in Portland\, Oregon’s underground roots music scene\, the core duo of Foghorn Stringband\, Caleb Klauder\, whose wistful\, keening vocals and rapid-fire mandolin picking have always been the heart of the band\, and Stephen ‘Sammy’ Lind\, perhaps the best old-time fiddler of his generation\, have spread the old-time stringband gospel all over the world\, but they’ve also brought in new influences and inspirations from their many travels and fellow bandmates. Vintage country and honky-tonk became a staple of Foghorn Stringband thanks to Klauder’s intense passion for the music\, and frequent visits to Louisiana have inspired the group to bring Cajun songs into the repertoire. \nAs the music has changed\, the band has changed and reformed as well. Canadian singer and bassist Nadine Landry\, from Québec via the Yukon\, joined the band in 2008\, bringing a wealth of experience as an internationally touring bluegrass musician. New member\, singer and guitarist Reeb Willms\, came down from Bellingham with a suitcase of old\, vintage country songs and a powerfully beautiful\, pure voice born in the farmlands of Washington State. It’s a new Foghorn Stringband these days\, but the music is as furiously compelling as ever. For the group that first broke the good news about Southern old-time music to new generations\, a new album and new tour dates are both a return to form and a fresh new start. \nWowing audiences across the country and across the pond playing over 200 days a year\, Foghorn is one of the most sought after acts for festival stages and music camps\, and are band mates for world renowned master old-time musician Dirk Powell and Cajun legends Joel Savoy and Jesse Lége. Recent festivals and venues they’ve played include San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival\, Pickathon\, Sioux River Folk Festival\, The Old Town School of Folk Music\, California Bluegrass Association’s Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival\, Freight & Salvage\, Bristol Rhythm & Roots\, Austin Stringband Festival\, and many more\, including extensive tours of the UK and Ireland! They were selected as Official Showcase Artists at the 2011 IBMA Conference. \nFoghorn Stringband play the old way\, the way you’d have heard stringbands play on Southern radio stations back in the 1930s. They don’t fancy up the music to make it more modern\, instead they reach into the heart of the songs\, pulling out the deep emotions that made them so enduring in the first place. Performing live\, these multi- instrumentalists gather around a single microphone in the middle of the stage\, expertly balancing their sound on the fly\, and creating the rarest of music: songs that are at once wildly virtuosic and intimately hand-crafted. Foghorn Stringband play American roots music of the finest order.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \nCritics call his guitar playing “breathtaking\,” “haunting\,” and “rich.” Guitar magazines describe his compositions as “spectacular\,” “elegant\,” and “exquisite\,” and praise his twelve-string work as “revelatory.” Media reviewers trace the roots of his style to folk\, jazz\, pop\, and classical music\, categorize his playing as “Baroque Folk\,” and “Instrumental Americana\,” and compare him to Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. \nAnother reviewer ventured this analysis: “What to call his unique melange of styles? There’s an aspect of Americana in the echoes of Appalachian and old-timey styles that are apparent in just about every track\, but there are also elements of jazz\, Celtic folk\, and a dash of blues in here somewhere. What Proctor does is create guitar music that reflects the whole heritage of the instrument and still has his own distinct stamp — a tall order\, but he’s up to the job”\n \nThese luminous and diverse quotes characterize the media’s efforts to describe Chris Proctor’s solo\, 6 and 12-string guitar concerts and recordings. Two additional comments typify the first-time listener’s reaction: “Wow- I didn’t know that acoustic guitars could sound like that\,” and\, ” It seems as if there are three guitarists up there on stage\, not just one.” \nHere’s more of what critics\, listeners\, presenters and concert audiences say about Chris Proctor: \n\nHe is an acclaimed composer of original music and a wonderful arranger for the 6 and 12-string guitars.\nHe is a performer with a gift for communicating the tremendous variety\, vitality\, and accessibility of his music.\nHis amazing variety of guitar sounds and textures\, and the rich tapestry of bass\, melody\, and inner voices\, bring an orchestral quality to his music that surprises and delights audiences who haven’t heard him before.\nHis compositions and arrangements shine with folk\, jazz\, pop\, classical\, and ethnic influences.\nHe is a superlative workshop\, master class and residency/outreach leader\, author of numerous instructional articles in the guitar press\, and producer of two world-class instructional videos for 6 and 12-string players.\n\n \nGecko Drive from Chris Proctor on Vimeo.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com.\n \n“I can’t ever remember ‘finding’ cowboy poetry\,” Waddie Mitchell says of the entertaining and enduring art of storytelling. “It was always there. The cowboys sure never called it poetry. I know I wouldn’t have liked it if they would have. Seems like an oxymoron\, don’t it!?” \nFrom his earliest days on the remote Nevada ranches where his father worked\, Waddie was immersed in the cowboy way of entertaining\, the art of spinnin’ tales in rhyme and meter that came to be called cowboy poetry\, a Western tradition that is as rich as the lifestyle that gave birth to it. Within his stories\, old in a voice that is timeless and familiar\, are the common bonds we all share\, moments both grand and commonplace\, the humorous and the tragic\, the life and death struggles and triumphs that we each recognize. And yet\, Waddie presents his material with personal insights and the lessons learned during his life spent as a buckaroo. \n“All the time I was growing up we had these old cowboys around\,” he says. “When you live in close proximity like that with the same folks month after month\, one of your duties is to entertain each other\, and I suppose that’s where the whole tradition of cowboy poetry started. You find that if you have a rhyme and a meter to start that story\, people will listen to it over and over again\,” Waddie states in his down-to-earth description of its beginnings. \n“When my imagination first got let out of the gate\, it was from an old-time cowboy\, with a story set to rhyme\,” he says in his second recording from Warner Western\, Lone Driftin’ Rider. By the age of 10\, he was reciting poetry himself; at 16\, he quit school to follow his heart and went to making his living as a\ncowboy.\nThere came a time though\, which he relates in his poem Where To Go\, when he had to choose between being a full-time cowboy (he managed a 36\,000 acre ranch in Lee-Jiggs\, Nevada) and the art form that he loved so much. In 1984\, he helped organize the internationally recognized Elko Cowboy Poetry Gathering and gave his first public performance. Although Waddie didn’t think anyone would be interested\, (he thought it would be a pretty good party for the weekend) the first Cowboy Poetry Gathering was set for a cold\, snowy weekend in January. This was one of the only times Waddie and his fellow cowboys were free from ranch duties. More than 2\,000 people showed up\, and Waddie was off and running. \nIn 2012 Waddie Mitchell received the prestigious Nevada Heritage Award from the Nevada Arts Council.  He continues hosting and performing at festivals\, private gatherings\, rodeos\, corporate events\, concert halls and an extraordinarily wide variety of functions. The Reno Gazette-Journal published a list from a panel of writers\, historians and other notables\, who selected the Top 20 Artists\, Authors and Entertainers To Influence Nevada in the 20th Century. Sure enough pards\, there was Waddie!

These include workshops for students and senior citizens\, movement classes\, school lecture-demonstrations\, collaborations with local dancers\, full-length performances and related visual arts exhibits. \n“These initiatives provide access to quality arts experiences for citizens that reside in the state’s rural counties\, and offer students the opportunity to explore the creative process under the guidance of professional artists\,” said Susan Boskoff\, executive director of the Nevada Arts Council.  “It’s all about creating a sense of place in communities across the state to enhance the quality of life for everyone.” The Arts Council will produce video vignettes of residency activities in Winnemucca that will be shared with the public on the agency’s website this summer. \nUtah’s Repertory Dance Theatre was founded in 1966 as a professional modern dance company through a cooperative effort involving the Salt Lake City community\, the University of Utah and a major grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. \n“We are really happy to support RDT’s tour through rural Nevada\,” said Lou Schack\, Barrick’s director of communications. “Along with our focus on access to education\, bringing high-quality arts experiences to the places where our employees live and work is an important part of our overall commitment to Nevada.” \nRDT has toured to more than 300 cities in the United States\, Canada\, and Europe; and has performed for diverse audiences from Utah to Vienna\, Austria\, in schoolrooms and opera houses\, from gymnasiums to the Kennedy Center. RDT’s mission is to broaden the public’s understanding of the art of modern dance through a variety of community-based programs; and it acts as a resource center and laboratory for dancers\, choreographers\, visual artists\, writers and composers. The company offers annual summer workshops and year-round classes to train aspiring professionals and inspire the creative potential in people of all ages. \nAs a result of Barrick’s generous support of this fabulous event\, we are using the opportunity to raise money for a grief support program we are trying to launch in Winnemucca.  The “Hope Tree” project\, once set up\, will provide local grief support groups for children\, teens\, and families. \n  \nWe’re suggesting a minimum donation of $5 for adults and $15 for a family\, but we hope people will dig deep and be extra generous for this much needed project to support youth in their time of grieving. – Bill Sims\, Chairman\, Great Basin Arts and Entertainment \nTickets for the Winnemucca Performance are available in advance at Nature’s Corner\, Global Coffee\, and The Martin Hotel.

On-line from The Martin Hotel\n\nMike Beck is well-known for his memorable ballads that capture old California\, and the cowboy way of life. He has performed in numerous foreign countries\, and throughout the United States. Mike recently returned from doing some shows in Norway and Sweden. \nTwo of Mike Beck’s songs were listed in the “13 Best Cowboy Songs of All Time” in the April 2009 issue of Western Horseman Magazine (“In Old California” – a song about Jo Mora – and “Don’t Tell Me.”) His song\, “Patrick” was listed as one of “The Top 15 Roadworthy Cowboy Songs” in the July 2008 issue of Cowboys & Indians Magazine. His song\, “Amanda Come Home” was featured on NPR’s Weekend Edition\, and is dedicated to all of the women who served in Iraq. In the Spring 2010 edition of The Cowboy Way\, Bill Reynolds writes\, “His love of the ways of the vaquero and the Pacific Slope region of the West comes through his songs in superb guitar work.” \nBorn and raised in Monterey County\, California\, at age 13\, Mike Beck went to the Monterey Pop Festival and liked what he heard. He picked up a guitar and never looked back. Since that time\, he has been composing and performing a wide array of folk\, rock and Americana music. Mike’s songs reflect his life as a professional musician and a working cowboy in Montana and Carmel Valley near Big Sur. \nAccording to Ramblin’ Jack Elliot\, “Mike Beck plays the guitar like a Byrd. His strings do things that mine could never do. They obey the slightest finger-touch commands like a fine reining horse.” \nBeck is riding high after being recognized by Western Horseman magazine in a recent article naming “The 13 Best Cowboy Songs of All Times” along with songs written by luminaries such as Ramblin’ Jack Elliott\, Allison Moorer\, Lucinda Williams and Ian Tyson. \n“I had two songs on that list\, which was kind of cool\,” said Beck. “to be alongside some of the other people on that list\, like Tom Russell\, Ian Tyson.

On-line from The Martin Hotel\nA rare package of American Roots and Folk music will grace the stage for a concert on Wednesday\, September 4th at the Martin Hotel.  The Stories and Seeds Trail Tour features the legendary Ramblin’ Jack Elliott along with singer-songwriter Nell Robinson. \nAn American musical treasure\, Ramblin’ Jack is a five time Grammy nominee and two time Grammy winner. In 1998 Jack was presented with a National Medal of Arts award from the National Endowment for the Arts. This award\, created by Congress on behalf of the American people\, is a lifetime achievement award that recognizes the extraordinary accomplishments of individuals engaged in the creation and production of the arts in the United States. \nHaving a long and prolific career\, Ramblin’ Jack has carried the seeds of story and song for decades\, from one place to another\, from one generation to the next.  Ramblin’ Jack picked up the American troubadour tradition and passed it along\, most famously from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan.  A wide spectrum of musical artists have paid homage to Ramblin’ Jack Elliott including Johnny Cash\, Bruce Springsteen\, and Tom Waits. \nJoining the Seeds and Stories collaboration is vital contemporary folk singer-songwriter Nell Robinson. Nell has two solo records and recently released a duet cd with Jim Nunally entitled “House and Garden” featuring rich stories\, lyrics\, and vocal harmonies.  Nell Robinson has performed at many American music venues including A Prairie Home Companion\, The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC\, Strawberry Music Festival\, and the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkley.  Her singing has been compared to the iconic voice of Emmylou Harris and songwriting of Patty Griffin.  One critic recently call Nell’s music “a timeless\, sepia-toned world at the intersection of bluegrass\, country\, folk\, and Americana.” Joining Nell onstage will be a very talented young guitar player and singer named Logan Ledger. \nThis unique tour collaboration of the old and the new is planting the new seeds that will carry on the vital cultural tradition of storytelling though roots music. \nThis September 4th show at the Martin Hotel starts at 7pm and has a special limited seating of 75.  Tickets are $25 and are on sale at The Martin Hotel\, Nature’s Corner\, and Global Coffee.  The concert is presented by Great Basin Arts and Entertainment\, a grassroots all volunteer non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \nWe’re gonna open this show with Winnemucca’s own L.N.O.Y. (Listless Numbers of Youth). They will play a short set to begin the evening\, and then you’ll get two full sets with Foghorn. \n \nFoghorn Stringband is the shining gold standard for American stringband music\, with seven albums\, thousands of shows\, over a decade of touring under their belts\, and two entirely new generations of old-time musicians following their lead. Through all this\, they’ve never let the music grow cold; instead they’ve been steadily proving that American roots music is a never-ending well of inspiration. From their origins in Portland\, Oregon’s underground roots music scene\, the core duo of Foghorn Stringband\, Caleb Klauder\, whose wistful\, keening vocals and rapid-fire mandolin picking have always been the heart of the band\, and Stephen ‘Sammy’ Lind\, perhaps the best old-time fiddler of his generation\, have spread the old-time stringband gospel all over the world\, but they’ve also brought in new influences and inspirations from their many travels and fellow bandmates. Vintage country and honky-tonk became a staple of Foghorn Stringband thanks to Klauder’s intense passion for the music\, and frequent visits to Louisiana have inspired the group to bring Cajun songs into the repertoire. \nAs the music has changed\, the band has changed and reformed as well. Canadian singer and bassist Nadine Landry\, from Québec via the Yukon\, joined the band in 2008\, bringing a wealth of experience as an internationally touring bluegrass musician. New member\, singer and guitarist Reeb Willms\, came down from Bellingham with a suitcase of old\, vintage country songs and a powerfully beautiful\, pure voice born in the farmlands of Washington State. It’s a new Foghorn Stringband these days\, but the music is as furiously compelling as ever. For the group that first broke the good news about Southern old-time music to new generations\, a new album and new tour dates are both a return to form and a fresh new start. \n \nWowing audiences across the country and across the pond playing over 200 days a year\, Foghorn is one of the most sought after acts for festival stages and music camps\, and are band mates for world renowned master old-time musician Dirk Powell and Cajun legends Joel Savoy and Jesse Lége. Recent festivals and venues they’ve played include San Francisco Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival\, Pickathon\, Sioux River Folk Festival\, The Old Town School of Folk Music\, California Bluegrass Association’s Father’s Day Bluegrass Festival\, Freight & Salvage\, Bristol Rhythm & Roots\, Austin Stringband Festival\, and many more\, including extensive tours of the UK and Ireland! They were selected as Official Showcase Artists at the 2011 IBMA Conference. \nFoghorn Stringband play the old way\, the way you’d have heard stringbands play on Southern radio stations back in the 1930s. They don’t fancy up the music to make it more modern\, instead they reach into the heart of the songs\, pulling out the deep emotions that made them so enduring in the first place. Performing live\, these multi- instrumentalists gather around a single microphone in the middle of the stage\, expertly balancing their sound on the fly\, and creating the rarest of music: songs that are at once wildly virtuosic and intimately hand-crafted. Foghorn Stringband play American roots music of the finest order.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \n \nSharing a common love of music\, whiskey and life on the road\, Fruition were originally brought together by the lure of adventure. For the last five years\, the Portland\, OR string infused quintet has racked up the miles playing sold out shows in their adopted hometown and garnering new fans across the country. This summer\, Fruition will release Just One of Them Nights\, an album that finds the band tackling the many struggles and successes that come along with living a vagabond lifestyle and the search for artistic clarity. \nJay Cobb Anderson (lead guitar/vocals) and Keith Simon (bass) moved from Idaho to the Pacific Northwest with nothing but their instruments and some drinking money. They spent their days busking the streets and their nights exploring Portland’s rich music scene. In 2008\, the duo met fellow street performers Kellen Asebroek (guitar) and Georgia-born Mimi Naja (mandolin/vocals). Feeling an instant connection\, the foursome decided to embark on a new collaboration. Just a few short weeks later\, the like-minded new friends found themselves in a living room crowded around a microphone and recording Hawthorne Hoedown – an album that took one day to record but forged a lasting connection. \nFor the next three years\, Fruition traveled up and down Highway 101 busking the streets\, playing small clubs\, sleeping on couches\, and building a devout fan base through word of mouth. They caught the ear of Hot Buttered Rum’s Nat Keefe in 2009\, who eventually produced a self-titled album for the band in 2009. Shortly thereafter\, Jay and Keith’s high school buddy Tyler Thompson (drums) joined the group\, amplifying their sound and elevating them to the versatile Americana-meets-Rock n Roll enigma that they are today. \n \nOver the years\, Fruition have collaborated with Leftover Salmon\, Railroad Earth\, Danny Barnes\, ALO\, Elephant Revival and The Head and The Heart. They’ve thrilled audiences at festivals including High Sierra Music Festival\, Northwest String Summit and All Good Music Festival\, and played for packed rooms at Portland\, OR’s Crystal Ballroom\, Boulder\, CO’s Fox Theater\, San Francisco\, CA’s Great American Music Hall\, Boston\, MA’s Brighton Music Hall and more. With no signs of slowing down\, the band takes each day as it comes. From broken down vans and whiskey shots\, to the lovers and loved-ones who check-in through the miles\, at the end of the day it’s Just One of Them Nights for this talented bunch who are experiencing a radiant present and looking towards an even brighter future.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \n \nSince the group’s inception in late 2007\, the Portland Cello Project (or\, PCP\, as their fans affectionately call them)\, has wowed audiences all over the country with extravagant performances\, everywhere from Prairie Home Companion\, to that punk rock club in the part of town your grandma warns you not to go to after dark. The group has built a reputation mixing genres and blurring musical lines and perceptions wherever they go. \nNo two shows are alike\, with a repertoire now numbering over 800 pieces of music you wouldn’t normally hear coming out of a cello. The Cello Project’s stage setup ranges from the very simple (4-6 cellos)\, to the all out epic (which has included 12 cellos playing with full choirs\, winds\, horns\, and numerous percussion players). \nThe Cello Project’s mission is three-fold: \n\nTo bring the cello to places you wouldn’t normally hear it. They’ve performed everywhere\, from Prairie Home Companion\, to touring with heavy metal guitarist Buckethead\, to sports bars in Texas\, to punk clubs in Boston\, to halftime at Portland Trailblazer games\, to music festivals focusing on a wide variety of genres\, from rock\, to folk\, to pure classical to… pure noise…\nTo play music on the cello you wouldn’t normally hear played on the instrument. Everything from Beethoven to Arvo Paert to instrumental covers of Adele\, Kanye West and Pantera.\nTo build bridges across all musical communities by bringing a diverse assortment of musical collaborators on stage with them. The PCP has collaborated with musicians such as Peter Yarrow (Peter\, Paul and Mary)\, The Dandy Warhols\, Mirah\, Laura Gibson\, Thao\, Eric Bachmann (Crooked Fingers)\, Matt Haimovitz\, Ben Sollee\, Dan Bern\, among many others..\n\nThe first time you see the Portland Cello Project perform you might be perplexed when you hear affectionate fans shouting “We Love PCP!” \nIn spite of a barrage of musical and visual sensory overload\, you’ll figure out that you aren’t in a crowd of horse-tranquilizer-snorting maniacs\, and that “PCP” is the tongue-in-cheek acronym of this group of classically trained cellists. \nBut you’ll wonder what kind of a crowd this is. In the course of one of PCP’s epic 2-3 hour shows (the format of which is always a one-time affair the group writes almost entirely new arrangements for every performance cycle) you’ll see such sights as: old ladies\, straight out of the symphony hall nodding their head to cello hip-hop; young children playing air cello while dancing to 16 cellos accompanying The Builders and The Butchers; hipsters too-cool-for-school mesmerized by Arvo Paert; members of the Decemberists playing late 19th century Russian compositions transcribed for Hammond Organ\, a 40-piece choir\, and of course: a symphony of cellos. \n \nSince the group’s inception in late 2007\, they have performed with a veritable “Who’s Who?” list of Portland musicians\, from Laura Gibson to The Dandy Warhols\, Horse Feathers\, Mirah and Loch Lomond\, just to name a few. \nThe cello is more-or-less the only constant in this amorphous collective from Portland\, Oregon. Yet there is an organizer holding this anarchic display of controlled chaos together. You’ll see him sitting in the back row of the cello section at all of these shows\, as if to appear an anonymous member of the horde. This is Douglas Jenkins. Jenkins\, who often pens15-20 new scores for each performance\, has led the band through two previous CD’s of original songs and covers\, and has been at the heart of the band’s rise to immense popularity in their hometown. \nThe group’s newest full-length is being released on June 9th\, 2009 on their new label\, local independent Kill Rock Stars. This CD and indeed the relationship forged with this well-suited record label embodies the group’s belief that “collaboration is the cornerstone of independence and artistic freedom.” Two of the artists who have collaborated with PCP: Thao Nguyen of Thao With The Get Down Stay Down and local musician Justin Power\, contribute four songs each to this CD\, the Thao and Justin Power Sessions. And the other four songs on the record are strategically placed examples of cello sublimity and madness: from a Pantera cover\, to a solemn religious piece by John Tavener. \nAlthough it’s no longer an anomaly for popular musicians to work with an orchestra\, it tends to be on the symphony’s terms\, in the symphony’s concert halls\, and for the symphony’s exclusive rates. The classically trained cellists of The Portland Cello Project are working to reverse that tradition by making their talents accessible to their guests wildest dreams\, while bringing the instrument into venues where you wouldn’t normally see cellos.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \n \nAn entry from a tattered journal found on the shores of Lake Tahoe… \n  \n“According to local lore\, tucked deep in the snow blanketed Sierra Nevada mountains\, rests a cabin secluded from the masses. After days of searching the shores of Lake Tahoe\, I find a path of footsteps in the snow that winds through the moss laden trees of the forest. After hours trudging through knee-deep snow\, I find myself gazing up a cabin where smoke is billowing from the chimney. To learn of what is inside\, I crawl up to the window. As I wipe away the snow for a closer look\, I find the crew consumed by their cause of crafting melodies and songs that warms the entire cabin. Here lies the heart and soul of Dead Winter Carpenters…” \nIn a time when music has been transformed and genre lines are left behind like the seasons\, Dead Winter Carpenters are producing an ever-evolving style of music.

It’s a bit more unusual to come across those who sing from experience\, as Mike Beck does. \nA regular at the annual National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko. Beck is renowned internationally for both his horsemanship and musical ability. Western Cowboy magazine has even placed two of his compositions on a list it titled “The 13 Best Cowboy Songs of All Time\,” putting him in the company of heroes such as Ian Tyson\, Lucinda Williams\, Tom Russell and Gene Autry\, the original singing cowboy. \nBeck’s sixth album\, TRIBUTE\, was created as a celebration of horses and their unique bond with humans. Its 11 cowboy themed Americana tracks range from folk balladry (“20 Bucks a Gallon”) to bluesier tunes and honky tonkers\, each imbued with the trail dust and vast vistas of his beloved American West. Beck’s signature Fender Bender shows up on the tracks “Don’t Hurt My Heart” and “Amanda Come Home\,” the latter one of two songs paying homage to military veterans. The other is a cover of Wilbert Harrison’s “Let’s Work Together\,” made famous by Canned Heat and Bryan Ferry. \n\nBeck’s guitar playing has earned him comparisons to Stephen Stills\, and praise from no less a legend than Woody Guthrie contemporary Ramblin’ Jack Elliott\, who says of Beck’s picking skills\, “Mike Beck plays the guitar like a Byrd. His strings do things that mine could never do. They obey the slightest finger touch commands like a fine reining horse.” \nBorn and raised in Monterey\, Calif.\, Beck attended the Monterey Pop Festival at 13 and liked what he heard\, so he picked up a guitar and never looked back. He honed his songwriting skills and warm\, engaging stage presence while riding the ranges of California\, Nevada and Montana as a working cowboy. Today\, he splits his non touring time between Monterey and Austin\, Texas\, sometimes performing with the Bohemian Saints\, his Byrds /Burrito Brothers/ Stones influenced guitar band. While on the road\, he also conducts horsemanship clinics\, using techniques he learned from Tom and Bill Dorrance\, Ray Hunt and others. \nBeck recently helped develop a groundbreaking horsemanship program for the Joyful Horse Project\, an Austin based non profit equine rescue group. Pairing combat veterans with horses undergoing rehabilitation from abuse or neglect\, the program helps both to heal. Beck is donating all proceeds from sales of TRIBUTE to this new program. \nVisit Mike online http://www.mikebeck.com URL:https://gbae.org/event/mike-beck-2/ LOCATION:Martin Hotel\, 94 W Railroad St\, Winnemucca\, NV\, 89445 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gbae.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/MikeBeck-300px.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="GBAE.org":MAILTO:contact@gbae.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140329T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140329T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122038 CREATED:20140304T015313Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230130T070430Z UID:2372-1396119600-1396126800@gbae.org SUMMARY:Richard Elloyan DESCRIPTION:7:00 PM Saturday\, March 29\, 2014\n  \n$10 Tickets are On Sale Now at the Martin Hotel\, Nature’s Corner\, and Global Coffee.

Richard’s musical inspiration is the Great Basin\, the landscape of Nevada\, and the lifestyle of the buckaroo.  This year\, during Nevada’s  Sesquicentennial\, the 150th anniversary of Nevada’s admission to the Union\, Richard has a special focus on songs about Nevada.  His latest record release\, “Come Back Home” carries the tagline “Song of the Silver State”.   All of the songs but one are penned by Richard\, and carry titles such as Eureka Saturday Night\, Nye County Drifter\, Alkali Rose and Big Nevada Sky.  \nRichard’s rich baritone voice beautifully carries these songs about sage brush\, big skies\, lonely places\, long drives\, and exciting nights in town\, told from the perspective of a man that has traveled over the length and breadth of the state drinking in the rugged beauty\, appreciating the hard edged landscape\, and soaking up tales of the characters that make up its history.  \nThough he has his degree in range management from UNR and pitched in to help mend fences when his friend became cow boss of the Flying M Ranch in Yerington\, Elloyan firmly states he’s “not a cowboy but a good observer.” His love of the land and telling stories is drawn from growing up surrounded by the open landscape and colorful history of Virginia City. \nAfter an enlistment in the Navy\, Richard pursued his passion for the land by attending the University of Nevada at Reno and receiving a degree in Range Management.  Working for the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest  Service\, Richard was able to work some of the most beautiful land in the country.  In his current position as an Environmental Health Specialist Richard travels the rural roads of Nevada and gathers inspiration down every road and over every rise.  URL:https://gbae.org/event/richard-elloyan/ LOCATION:Martin Hotel\, 94 W Railroad St\, Winnemucca\, NV\, 89445 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://gbae.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Richard-Elloyan.png ORGANIZER;CN="GBAE.org":MAILTO:contact@gbae.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140407T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140407T193000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122038 CREATED:20140401T154847Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230130T070157Z UID:2400-1396891800-1396899000@gbae.org SUMMARY:Nevada Arts Council Arts Town Meeting 4/7/2014 DESCRIPTION:The Nevada Arts Council is launching a series of Arts Town Meetings to engage in conversations with Nevadans across the state and explore the cultural needs of large and small communities\, the role of the arts in the Silver State\, and to evaluate its role as a state agency. \n“The City of Winnemucca and Northern Nevada Arts Council are honored to be co-sponsors of this forum and hear both individual and collective ‘values and visions’ for our community and state\,” said Jean Kinney.

So they have more or less moved on from their punk rock roots\, and have taken up playing acoustic.  We think you might be surprised by the result. \n \nAutographed copies L.N.O.Y. ‘s  “Pleas of a Scoundrel” will be available for purchase at the show!  \n  URL:https://gbae.org/event/l-n-o-y/ LOCATION:Martin Hotel\, 94 W Railroad St\, Winnemucca\, NV\, 89445 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gbae.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/L.N.O.Y.-Pleas-of-a-Scoundrel.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="GBAE.org":MAILTO:contact@gbae.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140614T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140614T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122038 CREATED:20140606T193951Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230130T002347Z UID:2461-1402772400-1402779600@gbae.org SUMMARY:Roy Book Binder DESCRIPTION:Blues Guitar Legend Returns to the Martin\n7:00 PM\, Saturday\, June 14\, 2014\nThe $10.00 tickets are on sale now at the Martin Hotel\, Nature’s Corner\, and Global Coffee. You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \nRoy Book Binder at the Martin 2008\nThe great Roy Book Binder is set to play a concert at the Martin Hotel on Saturday\, June 14. Something of a national treasure\, Book Binder plays blues in the Piedmont style\, a very old East Coast tradition based on ragtime and multi-part gospel guitar techniques. \nBesides being a musical giant with unexceeded technique\, Book Binder is known as a crowd-pleasing entertainer with deft comic timing\, an encyclopedic knowledge of American roots music history\, and an inexhaustible supply of tales collected over a lifetime of traveling and performing with greats like Brownie McGhee\, Sonny Terry\, Rock Bottom\, Fats Kaplin\, Doc Watson\, Bonnie Raitt\, and Ray Charles. \nBook Binder emerged alongside pal Dave van Ronk in the New York City coffeehouse scene of the mid-60s\, the beginning of the so-called “folk revival.” And\, his repertoire includes “Bookaroo” songs\, played in a folk style reminiscent of Rambling Jack Elliot\, and Don Edwards. \nBook Binder’s real bailiwick\, though\, is blues in the East Coast or “Piedmont” style\, named for the plateau that stretches from Richmond\, Virginia to Atlanta\, Georgia. The style evolved in the 20s\, 30s\, and 40s\, when ragtime\, parlor\, and gospel guitar players like Blind Blake\, Blind Boy Fuller\, and Reverend Gary Davis began applying polyphonic finger-picking technique to the blues. Book Binder perfected his Piedmont technique as Davis’s protégé\, working as the blind virtuoso’s driver and side-man during the late 1960s. \nBook Binder has recorded eight albums\, most in a “hillbilly” blues style that includes plenty of colorful banter between the tracks. Often\, the stories and jokes stretch back to Book Binder’s formative years on the road with the Reverend Davis. Though based on old-time techniques\, his songs sound fresh and relevant\, often featuring original lyrics re-spun to reflect contemporary themes. \nBook Binder continues to perform solo shows around the world\, the last time we saw him he was about to leave for the Blues Festival in Hell Norway where he appeared along with Ramblin’ Jack and many other greats. He also teaches at MerleFest and the Fur Peace School\, and keeps an entertaining travel “blog” on his website\, RoyBookBinder.com. \nSo\, if you’re in town over the weekend\, don’t miss the chance to see one of the great bluesmen of all time\, up close and personal\, right here in Winnemucca. The show starts at 7 PM on Saturday\, June 14\, at the Martin Hotel on Railroad Street.

We’re thrilled to have one of the most mythical characters in American music visit our cozy little venue once again. \nJack Elliott set off sparks in London when he traveled there in 1955. The young musicians in England were just starting to investigate American blues and traditional country music. Into their midst fell an guitar playing cowboy. Jack showed up in this world of proper gentlemen in his boots\, his jeans\, and wearing his Stetson. He could play flawlessly in the styles they had only heard but never seen. Jack’s time in England and Europe helped prime the British Invasion that shows up on our shores 10 years later… \nMusic at the Martin\nwith\nRamblin’ Jack Elliott\n7:00 PM\nSaturday\, August 23\, 2014\nOne of the last true links to the great folk traditions of this country\, with over 40 albums under his belt\, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott is considered one of the country’s legendary foundations of folk music. \n Purchase your tickets on-line from the Martin Hotel \nLong before every kid in America wanted to play guitar — before Elvis\, Dylan\, the Beatles or Led Zeppelin — Ramblin’ Jack had picked it up and was passing it along. From Johnny Cash to Tom Waits\, Beck to Bonnie Raitt\, Ry Cooder to Bruce Springsteen\, the Grateful Dead to The Rolling Stones\, they all pay homage to Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. \nIn the tradition of roving troubadours Jack has carried the seeds and pollens of story and song for decades from one place to another\, from one generation to the next. They are timeless songs that outlast whatever current musical fashion strikes today’s fancy. \n“His tone of voice is sharp\, focused and piercing. All that and he plays the guitar effortlessly in a fluid flat-picking perfected style. He was a brilliant entertainer…. Most folk musicians waited for you to come to them. Jack went out and grabbed you….. Jack was King of the Folksingers.” – Bob Dylan\, Chronicles: Volume One \nThere are no degrees of separation between Jack and the real thing. He is the guy who ran away from his Brooklyn home at fourteen to join the rodeo and learned his guitar from a cowboy. In 1950\, he met Woody Guthrie\, moved in with the Guthrie family and traveled with Woody to California and Florida\, from the redwood forests to the Gulf Stream waters. Jack became so enthralled with the life and composer of This Land Is Your Land\, The Dust Bowl Ballads\, and a wealth of children’s songs that he completely absorbed the inflections and mannerisms\, leading Guthrie to remark\, “Jack sounds more like me than I do.” \nIn 1954\, along with folksinging pals Frank Robinson and Guy Carawan\, Jack journeyed south through Appalachia\, Nashville and to New Orleans to hear authentic American country music. He later made this the basis for his talking song\, 912 Greens. \nIn 1955 Jack married and traveled to Europe\, bringing his genuine American folk\, cowboy and blues repertoire and his guitar virtuosity\, inspiring a new generation of budding British rockers\, from Mick Jagger to Eric Clapton. \nWhen he returned to America in 1961\, he met another young folksinger\, Bob Dylan at Woody Guthrie’s bedside\, and mentored Bob. Jack has continued as an inspiration for every roots-inspired performer since. \nAlong the way he learned the blues first-hand from Leadbelly\, Mississippi John Hurt\, the Reverend Gary Davis\, Big Bill Broonzy\, Brownie Mcghee and Sonny Terry\, Jesse Fuller and Champion Jack Dupree. \nHe has recorded forty albums; wrote one of the first trucking songs\, Cup of Coffee\, recorded by Johnny Cash; championed the works of new singer-songwriters\, from Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson to Tim Hardin; became a founding member of Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue; and continued the life of the traveling troubadour influencing Jerry Jeff Walker\, Guy Clark\, Tom Russell The Grateful Dead and countless others. \nIn 1995\, Ramblin’ Jack received his first of five Grammy nominations and the Grammy Award for Best Traditional Folk Album\, for South Coast (Red House Records). Jack was again recognized with a Grammy Award for best Traditional Blues Album in 2009\, for A Stranger Here (Anti-Epitaph Records). \nIn 1998\, President Bill Clinton awarded Jack the National Medal of the Arts\, proclaiming\, “In giving new life to our most valuable musical traditions\, Ramblin’ Jack has himself become an American treasure.” \nIn 2000\, Jack’s daughter\, filmmaker\, Aiyana Elliott produced and directed The Ballad of Ramblin’ Jack\, her take on Jack’s life and their fragile relationship\, winning a Special Jury Prize from the Sundance Film Festival. \nRamblin’ Jack Elliott\nThrough it all—though agents\, managers\, wives and recording companies have tried—Jack resisted being molded into a commercial commodity. He played his shows without a written set list or including any songs that did not ring with his gut feeling of what mattered to him. \nRamblin’ Jack’s life of travels\, performances and recordings is a testament to the America of lore\, a giant land of struggle\, hard luck and sometimes even of good fortune. Ramblin’ Jack takes us to places that spur us on to the romance and passion of life in the tunes and voices of real people. \nAt eighty three\, Ramblin’ Jack is still on the road\, still seeking those people\, places\, songs and stories that are hand-crafted\, wreaking of wood and canvas\, cowhide and forged metal. You’ll find him in the sleek lines of a long haul semi-truck\, in the rigging of an old sailing ship\, in the smell of a fine leather saddle. \nBETTER YET\, FIND HIM AT THE MARTIN HOTEL IN WINNEMUCCA ON August 23.

You can also buy them online at themartinhotel.com. \n \nDavid returns to the Martin for what we believe is his sixth show. He’s played solo\, he has been accompanied by kora player Peter Joseph Burtt\, he once brought a small trio that included Joe Walsh’s rhythm team of bassist Kenny Passarelli and drummer Joe Vitale. It has been a great\, great show on each occasion. Friday he will be accompanied by master harmonica player Bob Beach and we’re expecting a terrific evening! \nDavid Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player\, and a song poet from Oregon. He’s known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon; his live show moves from humorous\, subversive blues\, to delicate balladry\, and then swings back to swampy rock and roll. It’s a range that ties Jacobs-Strain to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne. “I try to make art that you can dance to\, but I love that darker place\, where in my mind\, Skip James\, Nick Drake\, and maybe Elliot Smith blur together.” His new album\, “Geneseo\,” speaks of open roads\, longing hearts and flashbacks of Oregon– a record of emotions big and small\, and lyrics that turn quickly from literal to figurative. “I’m fascinated by the way that rural blues inscribes movement and transience. The music that frees a singer keeps them on the run; there’s a crossroads where a thing can be enchanting but dangerous; damaging but beautiful.” \n \nDavid began playing on street corners and at farmers markets as a teenager\, and bought his first steel guitar with the quarters he saved up. Before he dropped out of Stanford to play full time\, he had already appeared at festivals across the country\, often billed as a blues prodigy\, but he had to fight to avoid being a novelty act: “I wanted to tell new stories\, it just wasn’t enough to relive the feelings in other people’s music.” \nDavid Jacobs-Strain has appeared at festivals from British Columbia to Australia\, including Merlefest\, Telluride Blues Festival\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, Hardly Strictly\, Bumbershoot\, and Blues to Bop in Switzerland. He’s taught at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch\, and at fifteen years old was on the faculty at Centrum’s Blues and Heritage workshop. On the road\, he’s shared the stage with Lucinda Williams\, Boz Scaggs (more than 60 shows)\, Etta James\, The Doobie Brothers\, George Thorogood\, Robert Earle Keen\, Todd Snider\, Taj Mahal\, Janis Ian\, Tommy Emmanuel\, Bob Weir\, T-Bone Burnett\, and Del McCoury.

On-line from The Martin Hotel\n \n  \nOne reviewer recently tried to capture the essence of Chris Proctor’s music: “What to call his unique melange of styles? There’s an aspect of Americana in the echoes of Appalachian and old-timey styles that are apparent in just about every track\, but there are also elements of jazz\, Celtic folk\, and a dash of blues in here somewhere. What Proctor does is create guitar music that reflects the whole heritage of the instrument and still has his own distinct stamp — a tall order\, but he’s up to the job” \nCritics also call his guitar playing “breathtaking\,” “haunting\,” and “rich.” Guitar magazines describe his compositions as “spectacular\,” “elegant\,” and “exquisite\,” and praise his twelve-string work as “revelatory.” Media reviewers trace the roots of his style to folk\, jazz\, pop\, and classical music\, categorize his playing as “Baroque Folk\,” “New World Steel String\,”  “Solo Guitar Orchestra\,” “Instrumental Americana\,” and compare him to Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. \nThese luminous and diverse quotes reveal the breadth and depth of Chris Proctor’s music- his solo\, 6 and 12-string  guitar concerts and recordings. Two additional comments typify the first-time listener’s reaction: “Wow- I didn’t know that acoustic guitars could sound like that\,” and\, ” It seems as if there are three guitarists up there on stage\, not just one.” \nHere’s more of what critics\, listeners\, presenters and concert audiences say about Chris Proctor: \n\n    He is an acclaimed composer of original music and a wonderful arranger for the 6 and 12-string guitars.\n    He is a performer with a gift for communicating the tremendous variety\, vitality\, and accessibility of his music.\n    His amazing variety of guitar sounds and textures\, and the rich tapestry of bass\, melody\, and inner voices\, bring an orchestral quality to his music that surprises and delights audiences who haven’t heard him before.\n    His compositions and arrangements shine with folk\, jazz\, pop\, classical\, and ethnic influences.\n    He is a superlative workshop\, master class and residency/outreach leader\,  author of numerous instructional articles in the guitar press\, and producer of two world-class instructional videos for 6 and 12-string players.\n\nTen CDs on Flying Fish\, Windham Hill\, Rounder and Sugarhouse Records\, his victory in the US National Fingerstyle Championship\, his books\, DVD’s\, videos\, magazine articles\, and endorsements all testify to Chris’s standing as one of the elite solo guitar composers\, arrangers\, and performers of the day.

On-line from The Martin Hotel\n \nThe Boise Cello Collective takes the stage at the Martin Hotel in Winnemucca on Saturday\, January 3. \nWinnemucca audiences enjoyed the works of one member recently when the Langroise Trio toured through Northern Nevada.  Sam Smith will be joined by Jake Saunders\, Stephen Mathie and Shea Kole for this Boise Cello Collective trip through the high desert. \nBoise Cello Collective has been performing for about three and a half years\, playing nontraditional venues\, on street corners\, farmers markets\, arts shows\, street fairs\, and anywhere they find they can bring music to the people.   The collective has appeared with as few as two and as many as 14 musicians.  While they started out focused on performing classic pop & rock tunes they soon added tunes from the Great American Songbook\, arranged music from some of today’s more experimental and progressive rock groups\, and have recently begun to include contemporary classical pieces in some of their performances. \nJake Saunders\, apparently the driving force behind the Boise Cello Collective\, contends that this musical experience is an evolutionary exploration of the unfolding musical conversation taking place among a large open group made up of Idaho’s preeminent cellists.  Jake says “We are mostly just having fun and enjoy playing for the people”. Since its inception\, Boise Cello Collective has presented two world premieres\, including a quintet for piano and cello quartet by Dave Earnest in January 2014 and “eMerging” by Evan Ware for cello octet in November 2014.” \nIf you would like to learn more about the Boise Cello Collective – and hear some of these dynamic symphonic strings in action\, visit them at http://www.reverbnation.com/boisecellocollective or on their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/BoiseCelloCollective \n  URL:https://gbae.org/event/boise-cello-collective/ LOCATION:Martin Hotel\, 94 W Railroad St\, Winnemucca\, NV\, 89445 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://gbae.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/BCCWindow.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="GBAE.org":MAILTO:contact@gbae.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150228T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150228T210000 DTSTAMP:20260403T122038 CREATED:20150220T190059Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230130T000929Z UID:2610-1425150000-1425157200@gbae.org SUMMARY:Men of Worth DESCRIPTION:7:00 PM Saturday\, February 28\, 2015\nFROM SCOTLAND’S OUTER ISLANDS AND IRELAND’S WEST\, SOME OF AMERICA’S MOST AUTHENTIC MUSICAL HERITAGE IS COMING TO WINNEMUCCA. \n \nThe folk duo\, Men of Worth\, who position themselves firmly at the extreme\, traditional end of the Celtic music spectrum\, will perform at the Martin Hotel on Saturday\, February 28. \nMen of Worth’s tunes and songs are so authentic\, so closely connected to their heritage\, that Scotsman Donnie Macdonald sings some in his native Gaelic; while Irishman James Keigher includes time-polished pieces saved from the oral traditions of his native County Mayo. \n Purchase your tickets on-line from the Martin Hotel \n“Our music has its history in the crofting life of my Hebridean homeland and James’ western Ireland. It was a part of the fabric of everyday life and it came to America with the immigrants a century ago”\, explained Macdonald. “Now\, we’re playing it again\, to audiences for whom it could only be a generational memory”.\n“For us\, the irony is we were brought up in Scotland and Ireland\, and as boys we listened most eagerly to the music of America\, and not especially to the music of own areas. On our radios\, we heard Hank Williams Sr. and Jim Reeves. We wanted to see the Arkansas River\, not Loch Lomond\, and Reeves’ hometown of Carthage\, in east Texas\, had more romance for me than did the Isle of Lewis”. “Joni Mitchell\, Neil Young and Crosby\, Stills and Nash influenced me greatly”\, admitted Keigher\, who as a teen was already performing his own songs in the Irish pubs where he learned his wit and humor. “But now I have returned to my own musical bloodlines\, too.” \nThe pair could not escape the emotion and tradition of their homeland song heritage. “We could not grow away from those sounds”\, said Macdonald\, “so we have preserved them as accurately and authentically as we can\, in our performances”. “We entertain people with the real music of our regions; we have an ancient yet fresh musical story to tell”. \nSometimes that music comes from prosaic sources – Keigher wrote one song after overhearing two old ladies gossiping about him in a village market – and sometimes from traditional music passed down the generations. Several of Macdonald’s songs come from his mother’s own poetry and from Hebridean crofters’ airs. \nThe musicians\, who met in California in 1988\, each play a handful of instruments\, among them mandolin\, guitar\, concertina and bodhran\, a handheld drum. They are both married to Americans and live on the west coast. Keigher lives in Ashland\, Oregon and Macdonald lives near Sacramento\, California. \nThey have played concerts across the US\, from Alaska to Texas. They also take guided tours to their own musical roots: leading folk fans to the western isles of Scotland and to Ireland’s heartland to hear the real music of the isles in its own home. \nIf you can’t make that journey\, you can hear the music when these talented troubadours bring it to you\, February 28.
