The Senators

Sunday, March 29, 2020
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Sandia Bar
4445 Corrales Rd
Corrales, NM + Google Map

Phoenix-based folk-rock band The Senators recently left the desert to go to the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York, a long-time cultural hotbed of folk art and musicians including The Band, Bob Dylan, and Joni Mitchell. After sending a homemade demo to one of their idols, producer Simone Felice (Felice Brothers, The Lumineers, The Avett Brothers), The Senators were invited to record the album at Simone’s studio—an old converted barn.

Recently, The Senators released two EP’s from these sessions as the Promised Land and King of America EP, collaborating with Phoenix-based Fortoul Brothers for the album’s art and visuals. These songs are included on several Spotify editorial playlists. The album’s first single, "Wild Wide Open," has been streamed over a million times. The Senators will be on the road for much of 2020 in support of their forthcoming sophomore album. Join us for a free afternoon of indie rock, brought to you by our friends at Occasional Music.

Sorry for the cancelation. All tickets will be refunded through Brown Paper Tickets. If you’ve seen more than a handful of shows in Texas, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve already seen most, if not all, of the musicians who make up the South Austin Moonlighters, who are among the elite of Austin’s burgeoning music scene and have played key roles in bands like Fastball, Monte Montgomery, Mike Zito, Stonehoney, and Jimmy LaFave. In 2011, a handful of artists doing a weekday residency at Austin’s Saxon Pub began “moonlighting” and eventually The South Austin Moonlighters BECAME the steady gig. Nearly a decade, four albums, and hundreds of shows later, the band has refined a unique brand of Americana boasting organic vocal harmonies, top musicianship, and well-crafted songs with a tons of Texas heart. The band’s latest release is 2019’s Travel Light.​ Presented in collaboration with Santa Fe Performance Exchange & The Kitchen Sink.

One of our most truly poetic songwriters. – No Depression.

Massachusetts-based Jeffrey Foucault has spent the last decade mining the darker seams of country and blues, producing a string of spare and poetic albums of rare power while garnering accolades internationally for a tersely elegant brand of songwriting set apart by its inherently warm throaty delivery, hauntingly honest and poetic imagery, and weather-beaten cool. In addition to his solo career, Foucault also plays in the sextet Cold Satellite and the trio Redbird, which also includes Kris Delmhorst and Peter Mulvey.

Foucault grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. His father played a plywood guitar and his mother liked to sing. Winter Sundays were for church or ice fishing. He went to college and dropped out, took a job on a fruit farm and started writing songs about a girl from Iowa. He finished school, roofed houses, drove a snowplow, and home-schooled the son of the local bar owner in exchange for beer. He cut his first album in the winter of 2000, and he’s been going strong ever since.

Presented in partnership with Santa Fe Performance Exchange & Kitchen Sink Studio.

Sofia Talvik

Sunday, March 1, 2020
7:30 pm
Corrales Community Center
4324 Corrales Rd
Corrales, NM + Google Map

The first Swedish female artist to play Lollapalooza, Sofia Talvik’s seven full-length albums of original music are full of sparkle and melancholy. The singer-songwriter grew up in Sweden, but a recent 16-month, 37-state RV tour through the U.S. infused her unmistakably Nordic music with an Americana flavor. The adventure spurred a lot of emotions—triumph and joy, but also self-doubt and defeat—all of which found their way into her songs. Living like a musical nomad, the people she met opened their homes and hearts, and you’ll hear about many of them in her songs when she visits New Mexico on this tour. She has toured the States several times and showcased at SxSW and the Folk Alliance International Conference. RSVP: music@occasionalmusic.net or 505-980-6161. $15 suggested donation. 100% of proceeds go to artist.

Ordinary Elephant

Sunday, February 23, 2020
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Kitchen Sink Studio
528 Jose Street
Santa Fe, NM 87501 + Google Map

Winner of the International Folk Music award for 2017 “Artist of the Year,” husband and wife duo Crystal and Pete Damore have been performing together as Ordinary Elephant since 2011. The duo’s sophomore release, Before I Go, produced at Santa Fe’s Kitchen Sink Studio, established them internationally. Their latest album, Honest, is widely lauded as one of the best Americana records of the year.

It was Gillian Welch’s playing that inspired the Ordinary Elephant sound: a well-honed combination of insightful writing, deft harmonies and intertwined clawhammer banjo and guitar. From an early age, Pete has been a guitarist, but when Welch’s “Hard Times” came through his car stereo speakers, the banjo beckoned. Pete’s understated, melodic and mellow banjo weaves through Crystals steady and clean rhythm guitar as poetic lyrics are delivered in rich harmony. Today, they live full-time in a van with their dogs, traveling the country and spreading their musical message.

$20 GA. BUY ONLINE or call 800-838-3006.

We recommend purchasing tickets in advance, as last year’s show sold out well in advance. 100% of the evening’s proceeds go to the artists.

Presented in collaboration with Santa Fe Performance Exchange & Kitchen Sink Studio.
