JamBase Questionnaire: Chatham County Line

July 12th, 2010 | No Comments

Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen to the bright lights in the jam scene (and beyond). Last time we heard from Truth & Salvage Co., and this time we visit with a bright light on the rock scene.

A lot of the most talented folks toil away without drawing much attention. The work is more important than the spotlight, and the end results have possess solidity and endurance fame whores will never know. North Carolina’s fabulous Chatham County Line has consistently cranked out some of the best Americana of the past decade. Though often seen as a bluegrass outfit by ill informed sources, CCL have huge gobs of pop smarts and rock subtext inside their acoustic leaning, twang-inflected sound.

Their fifth release, Wildwood (arriving July 13 on Yep Roc), is their first self-produced effort and shows more than ever that Chatham County Line is dedicated to making great music, regardless of what anyone else calls it. Carried along by the bone deep lilt of guitarist-singer-songwriter Dave Wilson, Wildwood (and the rest of their catalogue) represents what happens when a band really knows how to play their instruments and keeps their ears wide-open to the entire American musical landscape. Anyone smitten by Levon Helm, Yonder Mountain String Band, Hot Rize, Leftover Salmon and the like is cheating themselves to miss out on CCL. (Dennis Cook)

Here’s what Dave Wilson had to say to our inquiries.

Chatham County Line by Bergen Paul Bernhard

Nicknames: Bronzy (For coming in third at the Merlefest songwriting contest)

Instrument(s) of choice: Beulah (1967 Martin D-18)

1. Great music rarely happens withoutÂ…
An instrument that is in tune.

2. The first album I bought wasÂ…
U2′s The Unforgettable Fire

3. The last song or album to really flip my wig wasÂ…
At My Age by Nick Lowe

4. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to beÂ…
An architect

5. My favorite sort of gig isÂ…
Where half the audience could care less at the beginning and then nobody wants you to stop by the end.

6. One thing I wish people knew about me isÂ…
I’m kind of a private person.

7. I love the sound ofÂ…
A set of drums played by Zeke Hutchins (Tift Merritt, Johnny Irion)

8. One day I hope to make an album as fantastic asÂ…
Neil Young’s Harvest Moon

9. The best meal I ever had on tour was atÂ…
Some French joint in Pittsburgh. Going back there in a few weeks!

10. I always find the coolest audiences inÂ…
Virginia

11. The worst habit I’ve picked up being on the road all the time isÂ…
Anything with the name “Lance” on the package.

12. The Beatles or the Stones? Por que?
If I’m freshly showered with a cup of coffee in the morning, it’s The Beatles. If I’m rolling a smoke with a cold glass of beer in the evening, it’s the Stones.

13. The craziest thing I ever saw wasÂ…
A SAS flight landing on a sheet of ice and snow – with me in it.

Country Throwdown Tour Helps Nashville

May 14th, 2010 | No Comments

NATIONAL COUNTRY TOUR GIVES BACK TO MUSIC CITY

Montgomery Gentry

In light of the recent devastation in Nashville, the Country Throwdown Tour and its artists are lending a hand to the local residents in need. Country Throwdown artists are coming forward to help in a collective way. As of today, main stage headliners Montgomery Gentry, Jack Ingram, Eric Church, Eli Young Band and Bluebird Cafe Tent singer-songwriters Sarah Buxton, Heather Morgan, Jedd Hughes, Ashley Ray, Troy Olsen, Brad Tursi, Cory Branan and Dave Pahanish will be donating the net proceeds from the sale of their merchandise at select shows throughout the U.S.
“We’re excited to be a part of the Throwdown Tour and through the course of the tour the artists get to participate in generating a lot of revenue for Nashville,” explains Troy Gentry of Montgomery Gentry. “Donating in one lump sum at the end of the tour gives us the opportunity to help any folks who may have fallen through the cracks, either through not having insurance or not being eligible for FEMA coverage. We’ll be able to place the money directly with the people who need it the most to rebuild.”
The Country Throwdown Tour will donate $.50 of every ticket to charity, a portion of which will go directly to Hands On Nashville to rebuild community infrastructure in Nashville. Meanwhile, at the end of the tour, the merchandise donations from the aforementioned tour artists will also benefit Hands On Nashville.
“After moving part of our company down to Nashville well over a year ago, we’ve all grown deeply connected to this town,” states tour founder Kevin Lyman. “In the wake of this flood, all of us with the Country Throwdown Tour are inspired to help rebuild the Nashville community for many months to come.”
The Country Throwdown Tour – the first annual multi-stage country tour from 4 FINI, Inc., producers and creators of theVans Warped Tour – kicks off this week on May 14 in Tampa, FL and wraps-up June 20 in Mountain View, CA. The outdoor amphitheater tour mixes top country music artists with up-and-coming singer-songwriters on four stages.
Country Throwdown Tour headliners include: Montgomery Gentry, Jamey Johnson, Little Big Town, Jack Ingram, Eric Church, The Lost Trailers, Eli Young Band, Heidi Newfield, Ryan Bingham and the Dead Horses, Jonathan Singleton & The Grove and Emily West. In addition, nine emerging singer-songwriters are featured in the Bluebird Cafe Tent: Ashley Ray, Brad Tursi, Cory Branan, Dave Pahanish, Jedd Hughes, Sarah Buxton, Troy Olsen, Heather Morgan and Walker Hayes.
Doors will open daily at 1:00 pm and fans are encouraged to come early and join in the pre-show party at the Throwdown Happy Hour; join meet-and-greets with their favorite artists; and watch the Bluebird Cafe tent artists.

Innovation@Intel: The Human Brain – the Ultimate Interface to Computers

May 7th, 2010 | No Comments

People want to access information stored on their PCs and mobile devices in a more natural, convenient way. While multi-touch, gestures and voice interfaces are recent steps in this direction, Intel’s aim is to enable people to use their thoughts to directly interact with computers and mobile devices. While still very exploratory, Intel research is already showing that thought-based user interfaces are not as far-fetched as one might think. In a joint project with Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, Intel Labs Pittsburgh is investigating what can be inferred about a person’s cognitive state from their pattern of neural activity. Researchers are leveraging a variety of brain imaging modalities, including EEG, fMRI and magnetoencephalography, in order to gain insights into how the brain processes information and how that might be used to build more natural user interfaces. See video for more on this research. See more about how Intel is changing the way we work, live, and play.

Marco Benevento: Video/Live Dates

May 5th, 2010 | No Comments

SMALL TASTE OF NEW ALBUM, BUSY SPRING & SUMMER

Marco Benevento‘s new album, Between The Needles & Nightfall, hits stores next Tuesday, May 11, via his label Royal Potato Family/MRI. For a window into the recording process, check out footage from the album sessions at Trout Studios in Brooklyn, capturing the final of three days in the studio, where three additional songs were conceived in the last handful of hours.

“This is a record of tunes that essentially wrote themselves – whether at a soundcheck, or improvised in the studio, or behind the piano in the morning,” says Benevento. “Many of the most enjoyable listening moments are captured feelings of that immediate time, that nowness. The songs really seemed to write themselves amidst contemplation or frustration or inebriation or whatever that moment was rendering. Reed [Mathis], Andrew [Barr] and I improvised bridges on the spot, made songs from scratch and we pieced together song ideas that we’d messed around with on tour. We did all that in three days with the best real music capturist I know, Bryce Goggin.”

MÃ¶tley Crue

More than 15 years after Ozzy Osbourne began the landmark metal gathering, Ozzfest returns this August in six American cities with a bill co-headlined by Ozzy and MÃ¶tley Crue – touring together for the first time with Ozzy since he invited the group on his 1984 arena tour.

The main stage will feature full sets from Ozzy, MÃ¶tley Crue and Rob Halford performing songs from his solo career along with material from Judas Priest and Fight. DevilDriver and Nonpoint will round out the main stage line-up. Second stage headliner and six-time Ozzfest veterans Black Label Society will be joined by Drowning Pool, Kingdom of Sorrow, Goatwhore, Skeletonwitch, Saviours and Kataklysm.
Each Ozzfest date will include 13 bands on two stages with music beginning at 1:00 PM. In addition, concertgoers can once again visit the Ozzfest “Village of the Damned” featuring a mix of interactive activities, shopping and entertainment throughout the venue concourses.
These Ozzfest dates mark the first concerts in the U.S. in connection with the June 15 release of Scream (Epic Records), the Ozzfest founder’s first album in three years and 10th studio album overall. Ozzy’s band consists of his new guitar player, Gus G, bassist Blasko, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman.
Tickets for these shows go on sale May 22.
