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."

Sound like fun? Check out One Tribe on SoundCloud and ReverbNation. See you on the 29th!

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!

Are you ready for holiday cheer with Terressentials? Past Deux is prepared to charm and delight you during a Terressentials Side Roads Sounds Project Street Party on December 21st! They will be outside of our 100 East Patrick Street store from 5 pm to 7:30 or 8:00 pm (ish).

Bio:

Past Deux is a musical partnership of Norm and Mike which has existed for 29 years. We have a tight, full sound with harmonizing vocals, archtop guitar and electric bass guitar. It is hard to categorize our music selections into one or two genres since we play songs from every decade from the 1930's to present day. We love to play and it is evident during our performances. Norm and I are very personable and can assimilate to any venue and we will work with event planners/organizers to provide the musical experience you are seeking.

Grace Dan & The Fam performance at Terressentials was a great success!

If you missed out on Grace Dan & The Fam's performance in front of our East Patrick Street store in the evening on Saturday, July 20th, you missed a great show! Grace sang beautifully, as her brother, Dan, and father, Joe, accompanied her on percussion and guitar (respectively). She sang covers of crowd favorites including “I'm Yours” by Jason Mraz, “Little Lion Man” by Mumford & Sons, and “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men. It was quite nice to see the little crowd that gathered around the Westminster family as they shared their love of music with the East Patrick Street community and those who were just passing by. A Downtown Frederick Partnership employee even stopped by to take some great pictures!
 

This was just the first of the Side Roads Sounds Project performances, though. If you want to learn more about the Side Roads Sounds Project, a Terressentials initiative to bring more vibrancy and music to the “side roads” of both downtown Frederick City and Frederick County, check out this post from our Terressentials Side Roads Sounds Project.
