SUMMARY:Alash – Throat Singers from Tuva
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nAlash is a quartet of master throat singers (xöömeizhi) from Tuva\, a tiny republic in the heart of Central Asia. The ancient art of throat singing (xöömei) developed among the nomadic herdsmen of this region. Alash remains grounded in this tradition while expanding its musical vocabulary with new ideas from the West. \nBackground: All members of Alash were trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood\, first learning from their families\, and later becoming students of master throat singers. In 1999\, as students at Kyzyl Arts College\, they formed a group called Changy-Xaya. They practiced in the damp college basement on Kochetovo Street\, and soon became the resident traditional ensemble on campus. At the same time they learned about western music\, practiced on hybrid Tuvan-European instruments\, and listened to new trends coming out of America. Alash. Tuva. 2002 Under the guidance of Kongar-ool Ondar (best known to western audiences for his role in the film Genghis Blues)\, they began to forge a new musical identity. They introduced the guitar and sometimes even the Russian bayan (accordion) into their arrangements\, alongside their traditional Tuvan instruments. They experimented with new harmonies and song structures. The effect is an intriguing mixture of old and new. \nInfluences: The musicians are inspired by the music of their grandparents\, great-grandparents\, and the great musicians of Tuva and Central Asia. At the same time they are influenced by such western artists as Sun Ra and Jimi Hendrix. Yet the Alash musicians never sacrifice the integrity of their heritage in an effort to make their music more hip for an American audience. Rather they look for contemporary ideas that mesh well with the sound and feel of traditional Tuvan music. \nAlash in America: Alash’s inaugural U.S. tour was sponsored in 2006 by the Open World Leadership program of the Library of Congress and the National Endowment for the Arts. Since then\, they have returned to tour extensively\, playing to enthusiastic audiences and presenting workshops to eager students of all ages. The Washington Post described their music as “utterly stunning\,” quipping that after the performance “audience members picked their jaws up off the floor.” \nAlash  Collaborations: Members of Alash enjoy working across musical genres. They have collaborated with such diverse groups as the innovative jazz ensemble Sun Ra Arkestra\, the bluegrass/fusion/jazz band Béla Fleck and Flecktones\, and the classical Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Student Producers Program. They are guest artists on the Grammy-winning holiday CD “Jingle All the Way” by Béla Fleck and Flecktones. \nAwards: Both the Alash ensemble and individual members have consistently won top honors in throat singing competitions. The ensemble was awarded first prize in Tuva’s International Xöömei Symposium competition in 2004. At the Fifth International Xöömei Symposium in 2008\, three Alash musicians swept the top prizes for individual throat singing\, and the fourth took top honors for his duet performance with his wife. In 2007\, Alash member Bady-Dorzhu Ondar was named People’s Xöömeizhi of the Republic of Tuva\, the youngest person ever to receive this prestigious award. In 2009\, Alash member Ayan Shirizhik was named a Merited Artist of Tuva. Even Alash’s American manager\, Sean Quirk\, was named a Merited Artist of Tuva for his contribution to Tuvan culture. In addition\, Quirk and all Alash members play in the Tuvan National Orchestra\, which has won both first prize and grand prize in the All-Russia National Orchestra and Ensemble Competition.

SUMMARY:The Lonesome Heroes
DESCRIPTION:We are about to help the Lonesome Heroes add the Martin Hotel to their list of legendary venues\, and Nevada to the list of 27 states in which they have performed.  This show will also strengthen our connection to Austin\, one of  THE hotbeds of new music in America today. One thing always leads to another\, and when Leo Rondeau got back home\, he passed on the word about this great little venue out in the middle of the Great Basin. \nThe Lonesome Heroes extensive tour schedule is bringing them though Winnemucca\, and after giving a listen\, we were compelled to set up a show for them. We think you will really enjoy this young duo with their wonderful songwriting skills\, plugged in dobro\,  and their interesting “”chance meeting between Yo La Tengo and Patsy Cline” approach to their music. \n \n  \nOn this tour the Lonesome Heroes are: \nRich Russell – Dobro/Guitar/Vocals\nMs. Landry McMeans – Dobro/Guitar/Vocals\nChris Clonts – Harmony Vocals / Guitar / Keys \nProclaimed as “rewriting the rules of alt country” by the Austin Chronicle\, The Lonesome Heroes have emerged as a singular talent out of Austin’s music scene. Songwriters Rich Russell and Landry McMeans founded the Heroes in 2005\, and the pair has cultivated their Brooklyn and Texan roots into a unique sound that unites Indie Rock\, Folk\, and Country. \nThe Heroes’ songs evoke a Western Americana landscape littered with broken hearts\, abandoned shopping malls\, and crooked highways. Lonesome\, yet hopeful\, the songs call upon a wide list of influences to step beyond the alt country moniker. McMeans’ lilting voice\, meshed with Russell’s drier vocals sits atop a multilayered nest of acoustic guitar\, reverb-laden steel\, and atmospheric sounds. The result is a haunting city-meets-country feeling that has been compared by Flagstaff Weekly as a “chance meeting between Yo La Tengo and Patsy Cline.” \nNot the square kind of country\, nor outlaw\, or even contemporary country would fit The Lonesome Heroes. Reverb-heavy electric dobro underneath a playful boy-girl vocal blend pushes the indie rock quintet into psychedelia\, but not without the songwriting sensibilities of classic country. \n  \n \n  \n\nINFLUENCES: \nBeck\, The Silver Jews\, Johnny Cash\, Smog\, Leonard Cohen\, Bob Dylan\, Wilco\, The Velvet Underground\, Band of Annuals\, Graham Parsons\, Lil’ Cap’n Travis\, The Magnetic Fields\, Neko Case\, Hank Williams\, Luna\, Jan Bell\, Yo La Tengo\, The Flaming Lips\, The Weary Boys\, Patty Griffin\, Herman Dune\, Galaxie 500\, Jolie Holland\, Kris Kristoferson\, The Darling New Neighbors\, Will Oldham\, Leo Rondeau\, Woody Guthrie\, Gillian Welch\, Lou Barlow\, Iron and Wine\, Emmylou Harris\, The Flying Burrito Brothers… \nTHE LONESOME HEROES ARE: \nRich Russell: Vocals\, Guitar\, & Steel.\nLandry McMeans: Vocals\, Lap Steel\, Dobro\, Guitar.\n\nRECORDINGS & TOURING BAND: \nJeff Johnston: Electric Bass & Saw.\nJim DeGregorio: Upright/Electric Bass\, Banjo.\nChuck Fleming: Drums.\nSarah Stollak: Fiddle\nChris Clonts: Electric Guitar\, Harmony Vocals.\nKullen Fuchs: Trumpet\, Vibraphone\, Keys\, Accordion\, & textures. \nTOURING:\n\nThe Lonesome Heroes play 150+ shows a year both locally and nationally. Playing listening rooms as a two piece and large clubs and festivals with their 5 piece touring band.
