One Tribe Performs Live at Terressentials

Friday, August 28, 2015, 6pm-9pm

Terressentials, 100 East Patrick Street, Downtown Frederick, MD

Start your weekend off with a fresh "reggaedelic" experience from One Tribe. Enjoy the positive connection and uplifting, deep message this reggae dub band infuses into their lively, culturally diverse, original music.

According to the band's Facebook page, "One Tribe is the next layer in the positive dub force field. With far out psychedelia over traditional riddims, two percussionists, and two vocalists blending harmonies, we bring a lively beat and a message of conscious awakening. With a diverse group of members from all over the planet One Tribe represents the worldwide unity that comes alive when listening to the powerful message of their songs. With influences from Marley to Frusciante, from King Tubby to Mars Volta, One Tribe has a wide range of influences, but a focused and passionate vision. With an effort towards making the best reggaedelic music and infusing world music influences in our sound we are looking to push the limits of dub and bridge the gap between reggae music and other cultural sounds; most importantly, we live to play and play to move the crowd with positive energy."

Birds and Arrows: Coyotes!

Birds and Arrows—Coyotes: So Smooth, So Original, So beautiful!

It's official. I've now listened to Coyotes by Birds and Arrows dozens of times. It's very possible that I've heard and sung along with all of the songs on the cd more times than Birds and Arrows has sung them!

And so now I can enthusiastically share with you that the talented Andrea and Pete Connolly are not just accomplished musicians and artists, they are also masterful chefs creating music so divine and so full of vibrant flavors that it can only be compared to the finest...organic gourmet chocolate. Coyotes is chocolatey musical art that is rich, mellow, bittersweet and complex.

There is no doubt that Andrea's vocals impart a delicious creamy texture to the Coyotes cd, however her hub, Pete, adds a most complementary layer of caramelly backing vocals and solos to the blend. The couple's poetry, masquerading as song lyrics, is hauntingly familiar – touching places in your heart that you forgot were there. Adding to the warm vocals and dreamy lyrics is an elegant, becalming bouquet of soul-soothing instrumentation and harmonies – and liberally dusted with a sprinkling of gifts from other highly talented musicians and their instruments. Birds and Arrows' chocolate-inspired music is a true delicacy infused with surprising finishing touches of warm, woody and spicy strings, a dusting of flowery theremin and a subtle aromatic hint of tranquil pedal steel (contributed by Dave Hadley).

Without a doubt, the Birds and Arrows' Coyotes cd is a beautiful work of art that reflects a love we don't always get to feel – love for family, friends, animals and nature. It is a celebration of life and spirit and is one of the most inspirational and satisfying, new musical endeavors that I've heard in years.

Don't delay, listen and buy their CD today.

December's Performances

On December 14th Jonah Knight brought an interesting, somewhat disturbing and at the same time fun slant to the normal holiday standards of Christmas music. He offered a unique style with wonderful guitar picking which made for a “warm” chill on an even chillier evening.

Past Deux performed on the sidewalk at Terressentials on the warm night of December 21st, but their energy would have warmed even the coldest night. They played spirited renditions of 50's and 60's tunes that had people dancing in the streets. As a nod to the season, they performed a sing along of Silent Night and had many “carolers” joining in! Past Deux's music was a joy to hear and a great addition to our Side Roads Sound Project.

Thanks guys for making our Side Roads Side Project a success this holiday season!

Earthy, organic, energetic...alive! That's Pretty Gritty.

Pretty Gritty put on quite a show at our Terressentials shop in Frederick City on December 13! Thanks, guys! Apparently, Pretty Gritty has been getting out there and entertaining folks in many states over here east of the Mississippi.

A big thanks to Mary Cottone of Good Gracious Gardens (and of Terressentials!) who posted this great video featuring Pretty Gritty and special guest the talented Dave Hadley! Enjoy!
