THIS WEEK AT THE KENT STAGE

 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jimson Productions presents 
AMOS LEE
Thursday, April 30 -- 9:00 PM

Singer/songwriter Amos Lee draws inspiration from such soul and folk artists of the '70s as Bill Withers, John Prine, Neil Young, and James Taylor. The Philadelphia native first became serious about performing while attending the University of South Carolina during the mid-'90s. After graduating, the English major taught elementary school before deciding to pursue a music career full-time. A period of waiting tables and bartending followed as Lee honed his songwriting skills. Eventually, he landed some high-profile opening-slot gigs including an extended tour with pianist/vocalist Norah Jones. He released his eponymous debut album on Blue Note in 2005 and his sophomore effort, Supply and Demand, in 2006. Last Days at the Lodge followed in 2008. ~ Matt Collar, All Music Guide

MAIA SHARP
Friday, May 1 -- 10:00 PM

Everybody's saying something nice about Maia Sharp. That's how it seems, anyway. Also, everybody's recording her songs, more and more. For an artist who thought she was going to be a sax player, now on her third record as a singer songwriter, she's building a long impressive list of cuts in a hurry.
Maia's one of those hardworking co-writing types that's always after a song, but totally without subscribing to the Nashville Music Row ethic of coming in to the office ten to four with 2-3 writing appointments each day. She's had success at AAA radio with each of the CDs she's done as an artist, and the latest is no exception. The single "Something Wild" from her new Fine Upstanding Citizen on Koch Records has gotten great national airplay.
There are different kinds of singer songwriters, one can distinguish between them by the way they speak, about their peers and about the music, even about touring. Maia is definitely from the Player camp, the singer songwriters that are also very gifted, serious and adept instrumentalists. She started playing sax as a child, and was playing in horn sections around L.A. before she ever decided that writing songs and being an artist was where she truly belonged. She has very serious chops on the piano as well, and some of her coolest, funkiest material jumps off the keys.
Although she's not from the Poet camp of singer songwriters, she takes the lyrics very seriously, and it's paid off. In word and melody, there's a high level of craft in her work, and a lot of co-writing experience.
Maia's dad Randy is a great and successful songwriter himself, and together they penned the title song from the last Dixie Chicks record, "Home." Her latest cuts include Trisha Yearwood, Bonnie Raitt, and Edwin McCain. Chick has got a buzz going on.

All ages welcome

Legendary Folk Artist
RAMBLIN' JACK ELLIOTT
Saturday, May 2 -- 8:00 PM

Ramblin' Jack Elliott (born Elliott Charles Adnopoz, 1 August 1931) is a Grammy Award winning American folk performer.
Originally from New York, Elliott grew up in a Jewish family and had always wanted to be a cowboy. Pressured by his parents to follow in his father's footsteps and become a doctor, Elliott resisted and inspired by the rodeos he attended at Madison Square Garden, he ran away from home at the age of 15 and joined the J.E. Ranch Rodeo. Although he was only with the rodeo for three months (before his parents tracked him down and he was sent home), Elliott was exposed to his first singing cowboy, a rodeo clown who played guitar and banjo and sang songs.
Returning home, Elliott taught himself to play guitar and started busking for a living. Eventually he hooked up with Woody Guthrie and lived with him as a kind of student.
With banjo player Derroll Adams, he later toured Great Britain and Europe and had a lasting effect on the music scene there. By 1960, he had made three folk albums for the British label, Topic. Playing in the small clubs and pubs of London by day, he would then take his act to the smart, west end night clubs. Upon arriving back in the U.S., Elliott discovered he had become well-known within the folk scene.
Elliott's greatest influence was Woody Guthrie. Guthrie's son, Arlo, has said that because of his dad's illness and early death, he never really got to know him. Arlo acknowledged that he learned his dad's songs and musical style through Elliott.
