The Owl Service: "is an English alternative folk band formed in 2006
by multi-instrumentalist Steven Collins, named after the 1967 novel by Alan
Garner. The Owl Service was originally intended to be a studio-based solo
vehicle for Steven Collins, but while working on the first Owl Service
release (the Wake the Vaulted Echo EP from 2006) he felt the need to enlist
some help with vocal duties and this resulted in collaborations with Rebsie Fairholm (who sang on
the debut EP, but then made only one more fleeting appearance with the band
on the Bitter Night EP in 2008) and Dom Cooper of The Straw Bear Band, who
remained involved with The Owl Service until March 2012; singing, writing
songs and co-ordinating the band's graphic
design. The Wake EP was warmly received in psych-folk circles and this lead
to Collins being asked to contribute a track to the 2007 compilation album
John Barleycorn Reborn on the Cold Spring label (for which he also wrote
sleeve notes). For the JBR album, Steven recorded the traditional song The
North Country Maid with session singer Rachel Davies, a song the band would
revisit on the debut album in an alternative version. While recording the
debut Owl Service album later that year, two permanent female singers
joined the band; Jo Lepine and Diana Collier.
Free from the constraints of running a label, in January 2015 Collins
confirmed that there would be an all-new Owl Service album released in 2015
entitled His Pride. No Spear. No Friend.. The
album is expected to be something of departure from previous Owl Service
releases. According to Collins; "The album will contain mostly
traditional material, but the sound will be far from traditional. It'll be
a folk album in lyrical content only, not in sound"." -

Crooked Weather: "Based in East Yorkshire, England, Crooked Weather
play earthy, unruly and original folk songs.
The sound is led by carefully crafted lyrics delivered by the haunting
harmonies of Holly and Will. These songs
echo the ethos of folk songsmiths before them with imagery of escape,
adventure, companionship and inner searching but told from a different
heart. “Crooked Weather come from the same
fertile ground which gave the world David Crosby’s immortal If I
Could Only Remember My Name. They are indie meets World music meets
traditional British folk. Think a contemporary Incredible String Band with
a 21st century mindset.” - Sid Griffin (The Coal Porters/Bob Dylan
Biographer)" - artists' website
Chantal Acda: "Like a combination of This Is
The Kit playing Laughing Stock period Talk Talk
(Chantal is a self-confessed Mark Hollis devotee), The Sparkle In Our Flaws
exists somewhere between waking and sleeping. Soporific, yet completely
awake, the compositions are slow to reveal themselves and the arrangements
are simple and sparse, allowing room for Chantal’s haunting voice to
breathe. Alongside the heartfelt, melancholy vocal the album features a
subtle yet intricate mix of strings, synths, drums and shifting backing
harmonies, creating a constantly morphing and coherent spectrum of sound. A
sound that includes moments that recall composers such as Nils Frahm and Philip Glass set against the songwriting
framework of greats such as Joni Mitchell. The Sparkle In Our Flaws was
written in-between the touring of Chantal’s previous solo album Let
Your Hands Be My Guide (2013) and features star musical collaborators such
as multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick (known for his solo work on labels
such as Bella Union and Erased Tapes and from his work with Efterklang), Shahzad Ismaily (a regular collaborator of Lou Reed, Tom Waits
and Bonnie Prince Billy) and acclaimed Icelandic producer/musician Valgeir Sigurdsson. Inspiration for the album title
came from the magical setting where the recordings took place – The
Sparkle Studio in Pacific City (Oregon) and also from the vulnerability
that is exposed within these recordings: played and captured in the moment,
it celebrates the beauty of perfect imperfection. As one half of
Sleepingdog, Chantal has already produced three widely acclaimed albums,
the most recent of which being With Our Heads in the Clouds and Our Hearts
in the Fields (2010) for which she collaborated with Adam Wiltzie (Stars of the Lid, A Winged Victory For The
Sullen). She has previously toured in the UK with Lambchop,
Low and Calexico." - artist's website
Jim Malcolm: making a very welcome return to Little Rock Folk Club Nov 7th
after a several year hiatus; velvet-voiced, mercury-flowing guitarist, and
sterling mouth-organist with a catalogue of sparkling self-penned
compositions and traditional Scottish songs Jim Malcolm "is the ultimate
Scots troubadour. Traveling the world with his guitar, harmonicas, and
engaging wit, he sings the traditional songs of Scotland and his own
masterfully crafted songs in a style which is modern and accessible, yet
utterly authentic. He is highly regarded as an interpreter of the songs of
Robert Burns, and has been described as “one of the finest singers in
Scotland in any style.” Though he now works solo, Jim was lead singer
with the world-renowned and multi-award-winning Old Blind Dogs for eight
years, a fantastic experience with some of Scotland’s finest
musicians, taking him to the most prestigious festivals in North America
and around Europe."- artist's website
Lowell Levinger: "An exciting new look at
the Youngblood’s most popular songs, rearranged and recorded with new
life by Lowell Levinger with guests such as Jesse
Colin Young, David Grisman, Ry Cooder and a host of others. Levinger,
one of the original founding members of the band along with Young has
infused this release with the same eclectic, fun-loving energy that the Youngbloods put into their shows. This
Collector’s Edition is guaranteed to inspire a new generation and
some old fans to embrace the magic created in those Youngblood years."
