The Ty Curtis
Band June 27 at 7:30
Salem Oregon's 20-year-old Ty Curtis is a triple
threat artist: singer, songwriter and guitarist.
This super debut release comes only a year after the
band's formation, and is as well produced as most
veteran artists work. Their live performances have
also brought about appearances at several
high-profile festivals like the Waterfront Blues
Festival and Eugene Days. Recently it was announced
that Ty and the band will be the representative of
the Cascade Blues Association at the 2008 Blues
Foundation's Best Self-Produced CD competition. Perhaps the late Paul Delay said it best about Ty Curtis, "He plays it like a young man should -- straight ahead and from the heart." As a boy, Ty Curtis was known to stand in the cold outside local blues clubs just to hear his favorite musicians -- Chris Cain, Duke Robillard, Curtis Salgado, Tommy Castro. Now, just over a year into his own band's existence, The Ty Curtis Band is already packing blues-lovers in and keeping them on their feet. At 20, he has a young man's attitude, but an old man's soul. But don't think of him -- or his band-- as anything less than mature. The band hit the Northwest blues scene in 2006. Starting with a standing room only show at Lefty's Pizzeria in Salem on Father's Day, the band continued with shows at Homer Davenport Days, Roadhouse 101 in Lincoln City, KBOO radio in Portland and return performances at Lefty's. In September they opened for Curtis Salgado and October for Paul DeLay. In July, 2007, the band made its debut at the Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland. They also performed at the Corvallis DaVinci Days, the Silverton Art Fair and the Oregon State Fair. The Ty Curtis Band will perform at the Majestic Theatre June 27, 2008 at 7:30PM. Tickets are $15 in advance and $17 at the door. For more information call the box office at (541) 738-7469.

Laura LoveJuly 13th, 2008 - 2:30 PM
SSinger, s
 ongwriter,
bassist, and published author, Laura Love has thousands of fans
throughout North America and Europe. Billboard Magazine
continually includes her CDs on their annual top ten lists and
the first time she performed on the East Coast was at Carnegie
Hall. Laura released her 10th CD in 2007 on her label, Octoroon
Biography. Titled NeGrass, it is an acoustic collection of
traditional and original field hollers, Negro spirituals and
folk songs, produced by Barbara Lamb and recorded in Nashville
with some of the finest bluegrass musicians in North America.
NeGrass features Laura singing and playing bass with Tim
O’Brien, Tracy Nelson, Barbara Lamb, Jeff Autry, Scott Vestal,
Rob Ickes, Mike Bub and Alice Vestal, most of whom are Grammy
and IBMA award winners. There is a personal and historic theme
to NeGrass. It is something of a family history – Laura takes
what she knows of her great grandparents’ lives and imagines how
it might have been for them around the end of the Civil War as
they were being freed from slavery and embarking into an
unfamiliar world. NeGrass is a lovely, heartbreaking and joyful
piece of work. Laura is a rare recording artist -
authentic and deeply rooted, with an extremely diverse appeal.
Her management, publicists, record labels and the media all
struggle to define Laura’s style. She is an African-American
funk bassist with an astonishing voice, who is equally
influenced by blues and bluegrass, jazz, folk, gospel, reggae
and country. Laura sometimes refers to her style as “folk-funk”,
“Afro-Celtic” or “hip-Alachian”. Regardless of how she is
described, Laura has an uncanny ability to get her audience to
listen beyond their own musical boundaries. She often performs
at festivals to older fans who have come to hear straight ahead
bluegrass and by the end of her set, the octogenarians line up
shoulder to shoulder with the pierced and tattooed and their
middle aged parents to get their CDs autographed. It’s quite a
sight. On stage, Laura’s voice soars into the stratosphere, she
wisecracks with her side men and women, she might mention a
local issue, she dances as she snaps her funky bass and no one
who sees this is ever the same. Laura is whip smart, down to
earth, funny and warm. It’s a winning combination, as evidenced
by the long lines of fans waiting to meet her after every show
as she tours throughout North America, Australia and Europe.
So, what do you call a style that incorporates folk-ish
melodies, a wall of harmonies, funk bass and acoustic
instrumentation with leanings toward bluegrass, jazz, country
and rhythm and blues? It doesn’t matter what you call it - Laura
Love survived many personal difficulties to get where she is
today. She is happy and grateful to have a life that allows her
to tour the world playing music and her joy is evident every
minute that she’s on stage. And that joy, for Laura and her
audience, is all that really matters.Laura Love will appear at the Majestic Theatre July 13, 2008 at 2:30 PM. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door. For more information call the box office at (541) 738-7469. | |||
