The Butchershop Quartet

bsqAnother project Rob is involved in, The Butcher Shop Quartet, will be performing  3 shows in May to support their recent release, “The Rite of Spring”. This record & shows commemorate the 100th anniversary of the “riot inducing” Paris debut of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring.

The Butchershop Quartet’s version of the Rite of Spring was released in March 2004 in time for a series of performances with choreographer Julie Atlas Muz as part of the 2004 Whitney Biennial in New York City.  Two new members, Nathaniel Braddock (guitar) and Dan Sylvester (drums) joined in place of Rob Bochnik and Dylan Posa, both having left Chicago. Upon completion of the tour the new group reconvened at Electrical Audio Recording to capture their rendition. Engineered by Greg Norman, the tapes sat until late 2012 when Bochnik, having since returned to Chicago, set about mixing them with plans to release them in conjunction with a few select performances celebrating the 100 year debut of Stravinsky’s masterpiece.

You can hear & purchase BSQ’s “The Rite of Spring” here, read about the project here or check out their website. Gig dates here and more info soon!

Graham & Joe at Levon Tribute

LevonGraham & Joe will be a part of the 19th April Levon Helm Tribute at the Sugar Club in Dublin. Proceeds go to the Irish Cancer Society. For more info & tickets check out the Sugar Club website and the Tribute page on Facebook! From Graham’s Facebook:
April 19th marks the first anniversary of the death of Levon Helm. The year passed so quickly. He’s honestly a man who never leaves my mind, and he is certainly with me everytime I play. It’s been so great playing ‘Don’t Do It’ nearly every night on tour with Glen. We’ve been getting booties shaking just as Levon would like it!!
So, it’s fantasic that there’s a tribute gig for Levon being held in the Sugar Club, Dublin on Friday April 19th. Myself and Joe Doyle have just been invited to play alongside other bands. We said ‘Yes’ straight away of course!
Then we asked the fantastic House of Horns along!!… Michael Buckley, Ronan Dooney and Paul Frost…They said yes! Cormac Curran from Villagers is gona plays keys!! And the groove meister Conor Brady will be on guitar. There’s too many The Band/Levon songs to choose from. But come along, support the Irish Cancer Society and the memory of Levon Helm to find out!!

Glen chats with Sydney Opera House

Captivating Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard graced the Concert Hall in an intimate, career-spanning evening backed by long-term collaborators and folk-rock luminaries The Frames.

Go behind the scenes with Glen as we chat to him about his musical origins, inspirations, and about what music means to him.
