Will Oldham and Emmett Kelly (Bonnie “Prince” Billy & The Cairo Gang) have been touring The Wonder Show of the World (Drag City) for many months now, and it has taken many forms. Here they are performing “Troublesome Houses”, Live at Store Vega Copenhagen 05.25.2010 with Nori Tanaka on drums:
…and here they are performing “The Sounds Are Always Begging” in Whelans, Dublin. 07.29.2010 with The Trembling Bells:
This weekend (Friday and Saturday) they will be playing shows on opposite sides of the San Francisco bay in their latest incarnation. Both shows will feature bassist Danny Kiely, drummer Van Campbell, keyboardist Ben Boye, and backing vocalist Angel Olsen.
(((folkYEAH!))) presents Tomorrow’s SOLD OUT event in Sausalito. The venue looks like this… hot dawg!
If you weren’t able to procure a ticket for that performance, then you can still catch them (and about 100 of your musical heros) for FREE on Saturday at the 10th annual Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival. They close out the Star Stage at 4:40 PM.
Empty Cellar is heading down to Big Sur this Saturday (July 3rd) with Secret Seven for the first annual Vinyl In The Woods record fair at the Henry Miller Library, co-sponsored by (((folkYEAH!))).
Described by the promoters as an all-day vinyl fair with a listening party, live music, surprise Rock’n’Roll movie, food and drink, and holiday weekend fun. It should indeed be… fun.
Henry Miller Library, Big Sur, CA
July 3, 2010, 11 am – 11 pm
$3 donation at door
In a press release, Magnus Toren, the Library’s Executive Director explained his longstanding love of vinyl as motivation for the event:
“When I was 14 years old in 1968 vinyl was the only way to buy music. I learned the English language through reading liner notes and translating lyrics because I was very interested in music. It’s nostalgia on one level and it also makes me think it’s too bad that young people now don’t get to have that.”
Babaloo, a Cuban food truck from Carmel Valley, will be providing eats, alongside many DJs and musical performances by Mystery Lights (Salinas) and SF’s Seventeen Evergreen.
Confirmed vendors at the fair include (in alphabetical order):
* Amoeba Records (SF/LA)
