LAVA Music presents Ernest Troost and Robyn Landis in Concert

LAVA Music presents Ernest Troost and Robyn Landis in Concert
Event on 2012-01-21 19:00:00
Two award-winning singer/songwriters, Ernest Troost and Robyn Landis will team up for a very special double feature in the beautiful Abounding Grace Sanctuary.

Robyn Landis is a gifted wordsmith whose literacy and love of words dates back to early childhood. A published poet and grade-school spelling bee champ, she wrote two widely-read books on nutrition while still in her 20s. Her passion for music and storytelling also led her to study voice and theater acting, and she played leading roles in community theater musicals for nearly a decade. When she picked up the guitar and focused full attention to marrying her musical and writing gifts, recognition came quickly. She has won over 50 awards for her songwriting since 2005, including first place in the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival Songwriting Contest and Grand Prize in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest.

A six-time Tucson Folk Festival song contest finalist, Robyn first visited Tucson in 2005 to perform at TFF with her Americana duo. Two years later she went solo, and her CD "Many Moons" was released in 2009. Showcasing pure, intimate vocals and warm folk-pop-Americana melodies, Many Moons was one of the most-played records on folk radio that year. With no publicist or special promotion, "Many Moons" was a favorite of more than 70 DJ's across the nation, reaching #16 on the folk-dj charts. The album also earned Robyn a prestigious Falcon Ridge Emerging Artist showcase, and numerous other songwriting honors.

Dennis Brunnenmeyer at KVMR radio in California says, "Robyn Landis radiates excellence with every word, every note and every song," while Mark Tucker of Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange wrote, "Like David Wilcox, her work is rich with sympathy for human frailty and the thousand and one disappointments the flesh is heir to."

Robyn grew up in New York City and later moved to Seattle. Long drawn to Tucson's warm, dry weather and friendly vibe, Robyn has decided to make Tucson her new home, moving here about a year ago. However, she spends a lot of time on the road, so this is a rare opportunity to see her in the beautiful Abounding Grace Sanctuary.

Ernest Troost returns to Abounding Grace to co-feature with Robyn. Ernest is an Emmy award-winning film and television composer and a recipient of the prestigious Kerrville New Folk award for his songwriting. His evocative style combines folk and Piedmont-blues-style guitar-picking with timeless stories and colorful character portrayals drawn from the American past and present.

His three albums of original songs have been described as what would happen if the Carter Family, Robbie Robertson, and Alfred Hitchcock wrote songs together. They’ve been a hit with critics and fans alike: "Troost's style and subject matter recall Dylan, Dave Alvin, and (especially for his concentration on life's darker side) Richard Thompson–enviable company indeed. Such comparisons are not lightly made: Every song here is a keeper." –Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue Magazine. "Ernest, playing in his infectious Piedmont-blues style, has phenomenal guitar chops. His voice is uniquely his own, and free of affectation. His melodies are inventive and original, and his lyrics, though deep, are in a straightforward, everyday vernacular. His songs are filled with almost cinematically described characters, so vivid they linger long after the songs end. Humble on stage and off, Ernest is the whole package."–Steve Dulson, The Living Traditions Concert Series, President of Far-West Folk Alliance.

Ernest’s newest album, “Ernest Troost Live at McCabe’s,” recorded at the legendary California folk venue on January 8, 2011, captures an evening of Ernest’s songs that slowly builds from solo performance to full band. Seven new songs are premiered on this stunning stereo recording, about which Jackie Morris of THE BARD CHORD said, “Mixing traditional country blues and ragtime influences with spell-binding lyrics, Ernest Troostʼs new album, “Ernest Troost Live at McCabe's" takes the art of the story-song to new heights. I have to confess: I had heard of Ernest Troost, but I had never actually heard him play until Friday, July 15th, at the Camarillo Café. It might have been my first time, but it certainly will not be my last! His talent, both as a guitarist and a lyricist, is extraordinary, drawing easy comparisons to Bob Dylan, Chris Smither, Danny Schmidt and Steve Earle.”

Ernest performed at Abounding Grace in November of 2010 and later shared a preview of a wonderful song off of his new album. Click here to listen to "The Last to Leave". Ernest will return to Abounding Grace for a special show with Robyn Landis on January 21, 2012.

Ernest Troost and Robyn Landis will perform at Abounding Grace Sanctuary, 2450 S. Kolb, just north of Golf Links on the west side of Kolb from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm. Advance tickets are on Brown Paper Tickets, all fees included. Admission is cash at the door.

Har Mar Superstar concert at Daytrotter Studio on 16 Dec 09

Har Mar Superstar concert at Daytrotter Studio on 16 Dec 09


At the very end of Har Mar Superstar’s session with us here in Rock Island this fall, “Body Request,” a song from his 2004 album “The Handler,” plays out and Sean Tillmann, the leader of this all-fun, all-sex group from Los Angeles is heard saying — as he trails away from the microphone, “God, we’re good. It never stops. The hits don’t stop with Har Mar Superstar,” and then a sequencer launches into another song unexpectedly and he continues, “Whoa, they literally don’t stop.” For years now, I’ve thought the same thing. It’s been probably a decade now since Har Mar – just Tillmann and a programmed box – and his music was made known, out on tour and in Iowa City opening for Atom & His Package. He wore a sparkly cape, we never saw him in his Underroos and that show will be remembered always for the cocky and braggadocio that he exuded – between every song advising people, very sternly to “buy my fucking record.” It was unlike anything else and it still is all these years later, capitalizing on that extra libido – real or manifested and magnified – turning every horny moment that he has into a song that has monstrous hooks all up and down it and featuring Tillmann using his legitimate, non-imitation Stevie Wonder/Justin Timberlake vocal style to great effect. He doesn’t seem to have to go to extreme lengths to make his music what it is – a stepping into the warped and perverse mind of a healthy, sex-loving male who longs for nothing more than multiple partners with pinup quality girls and free-flowing drugs and booze – all of this distributed to a short, pudgy, chain-smoking guy who grew up in Minneapolis. There’s a sense of the irony and there always has been in everything that Tillmann’s ever written. If he were one of the attractive ones, one of the pretty boys – like Timberlake, or an Usher or a Robin Thicke, even – one of the boys who involuntarily sparkles and has a pick of the litter to choose from, girls hanging from every pole, the songs that he writes would

Sleepy Sun concert at Daytrotter Studio on 15 May 09

Sleepy Sun concert at Daytrotter Studio on 15 May 09


It’s hard to tell if you’re the one who’s haunted or if Sleepy Sun is haunted when you listen to them in the privacy of a quiet room. It might be a little of both getting at you, eating away on your touchy faculties, sensitizing your ears and making your eyes dart left and right like tigers. The San Francisco band of hippie types and some speakers of fake Soviet accents acts here, in this session, as if it wants you to believe strongly that it’s you – you’re the one with all of the demonic devices inside your halls and crannies, effectively giving yourself the creeps or whatever the feelings amount to. Your skin is itching crazy and you’re getting close to wanting to just jump out of it, as on edge as you’re getting to be. The band preys on the parts of another person that believe in the darker drafts that make their ways under the doors and over the thresholds. It preys on the parts of another that want to bark at the yellowed out moon up in an empty sky as well as the bits of another that dream of acting out the restlessness during the night in ways that never register, but are recognized the morning after when there are cockleburs and twigs tucked into their knotty hair and their pant legs are torn from midnight gallivanting. They’re almost the actions of werewolves, but they’ve got too much melody to chalk it up to that. They’ve got too much sunny drama in their palms and veins to dismiss anything they do as blind rambling – the acts of mythological creatures of the night, as purely instinctual and animalistic. It’s nothing of the sort, but a production of eerie and enchanting spells that are being cast upon our unsuspecting heads, getting us to turn our simple ranges upon their own heads and become more in touch with our spines and where the cobwebs and the frights originate from. The songs from this four-song set sprinkle down like a soothing acid rain, puddling up all around you, at your feet and just lie there in a kinetic sizzle, reflecting the lights from

Daniel Martin Moore concert at Daytrotter Studio on 25 Jun 09

Daniel Martin Moore concert at Daytrotter Studio on 25 Jun 09


Welcome to the courtship. Welcome to a place that is without preservatives and artificial coloring. Welcome to a place that will forever hold your memories should you ever choose to leave it behind. It will be a place that everything following will be stacked against, compared to and undermined by. It’s a meadow without spiders or biting flies, without stagnant water or decay. The trees are healthy bucks and the trickles of breezes roaming through the branches are just the right touch. The light – the yellow that passes down through the veiny leaves hanging as a natural canopy and is transformed into a softer shade of its original self – is the exact kind that enhances everyone’s roughest features, irons out the scars and wrinkles and bathes them in exactly what they need to become attributes instead of blemishes. It oozes the kind of beauty that men and women prattle on and on about when they choose to get that way, when they’re being the most sincere with themselves. It’s this courtship, not of Daniel Martin Moore, but by Daniel Martin Moore, that is so lovely it almost hurts. It seems to be of some forbidden beauty, that which is so light and unassuming that it makes itself known in ways that are never boastful or loquacious, just earnest and stunning. There are those who would hear a song off of the Cold Spring, Kentucky native’s Sub Pop debut album, “Stray Age,” and believe in their deepest heart that they’ve felt this before, that they’ve heard something like this before, but really what it is most simply is a connection that Moore’s music makes with the elms and plumage of each specific soul. It feels as if this method should be enacted or performed behind closed doors, much the same way anything remotely personal or tender would be, but it’s played out in the open and it might even assume greater degrees of personality that way. Moore has a voice that’s been picked by the heavens to be like a milkshake and to make everything that it holds and lets out sound

Daniel Johnston concert at Big Orange Studios on 03 Aug 09

Daniel Johnston concert at Big Orange Studios on 03 Aug 09


Enough is known about the one and only Daniel Johnston that there’s no need to hash into any of that here. He is a colossal figure in American cult-pop music and he will stand all tests of time, likely becoming even bigger with every passing year, even if that popularity remains a fringe, but fervent movement of music obsessives and those who have been infatuated with a genius quality that just happens to reside in an over-sized man with serious demons, cartoon characters, true love and Mountain Dew (though he calls for Classic Coca-Cola more these days) on the brain. His music (and he has his first new studio album since 2003 out the first week in October, called “Is And Always Was”) is at once puzzling – that it could come out of a man who’s been slightly broken in one way or another for quite some time now, operating as best as he can with the help of friends and a patient and loving family – and altogether of the purest strains of the human condition and its existence. He comes to all of his songs from a place that knows no other defining moments than the ones that come from first loves and teenage passions like comic books (but those of Casper The Friendly Ghost and Superman, not necessarily X-Men or The Punisher), drawing, rock and roll music and fast food. He is still a teenager in that shaky soul of his and his songs don’t at all feel like they don’t fit him anymore or even that he can’t wear them. He has not changed other than packing on pounds and seeing his hair turn into a batch of gray. He chain smokes all day long, taking minutes to strike a match between his pinched fingers which cover the folded over booklet. He sits in a lump at a picnic table at Big Orange studio in Austin, where this session was taped – with Brooklyn band Hymns acting as Johnston’s backing troupe – mentally curtained off to what’s going on around him, seemingly unable to function at too high of a level. Our hour with him showed so many of the bewildering qualities of the man and f
