tinyways » americana http://tinyways.com tinyways is about culture, and this is said because a wider term was not found. All of this is because music is not just music, a book is not just a book, a movie is not just a movie and a play is not just a play, but tinyways is just tiny, yet it does pretend to show a way.

[See post on tinyways.com to listen to audio]
Don’t be fooled by the seemingly ridiculous moniker Monsters of Folk. Thursday night live at Paramount Theatre, Seattle (third show of their U.S. tour), the supergroup featuring M. Ward, My Morning Jacket’s Jim James, and Bright Eyes‘ Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis proved to be real folk monsters, bursting with energy for their nearly 3 hours long show. The show varied from folk to Americana, from rock to country sounds. During the performance the band members would come and leave the stage and change dozens of guitars. MoF kept things dynamic and musically intriguing by joining each other for duos, trios, solo efforts, just as well as for their songs written together as Mosters of Folk. Oberst’s, Ward’s and James’ vocals and guitars blended flawlessly in a variety of styles and rhythms, while the group’s multi-instrumentalist Mogis could play pretty much everything from keybords to mandolin. From up-tempo tracks (“Whole Lotta Loosin’ “) to breezy playful folk tunes (“Goodway”) and Southern vibes (“Man Named Truth”) the Monsters of Folk enchanted the audience.

A Smoky Cabaret: The Denver Gentlemen :: denver gentlemenRhythmic quirks, melodic folk and jazzy lines surround here an irresistible bridge-choruses blending into the eccentrically theatrical sound of The Denver Gentlemen. Delivering the atmosphere of the smoked piano sound of Tom Waits’ ballads and the festive cabaret of The Dresden Dolls’. The Denver Gentlemen’s music is dark, yet very seducing. The attached songs are from their self-titled studio release (recorded in 1995 and reissued in 2005).
