Fruition & Brad Parsons 1.11.19

Asheville Music Hall Asheville, NC Words by Jason Mebane Photos by J. Scott Shrader Photography The two most common ways I've heard people attempt to categorize Fruition are as a "bluegrass" act or as a "jamband." Despite the fact that Mimi Naja does play a mandolin on a good number of Fruition's songs the "bluegrass" label couldn't be farther from accurate. Similarly, while guitarist Jay Cobb Anderson does indeed lead them into exploratory places from time to time they're not really your traditional "jamband" either. Fruition rolled into Asheville this past Friday night and worked their magic to an Asheville Music Hall that was bursting at the seams with live music lovers. They used a pair of their most popular tunes "Labor Of Love" and "The Meaning" to bookend a two hour set that did it's best to prove that their particular brand of music defies the constricts of the labels people tend to pla...

Making Medeski, Martin & Wood's Omnisphere: An Interview with Billy Martin

Words & photos by James Sissler Medeski, Martin & Wood recently released a genre-defying live album in collaboration with chamber orchestra Alarm Will Sound. Entitled Omnisphere , the record features new experimental compositions that combine the organ trio’s familiar instrumentation with the sonic richness of a full chamber ensemble, as well as orchestral interpretations of a couple Medeski, Martin & Wood classics. I sat down with the group’s drummer/percussionist, composer and visual artist Billy Martin at his cozy music and art space, The Herman House Gallery, to get the scoop on how this collaboration came to be and what it means for the future of the beloved trio. James: So maybe you could start by telling me how this collaboration between Medeski, Martin & Wood and Alarm Will Sound initially came about. Billy: Well John [Medeski] had a schoolmate at New England Conservatory who ended up becoming a booking agent for Alarm Will Sound. So somehow they crosse...

Yak Attack 12.31.18

The Goodfoot Pub and Lounge Portland, OR Words by Maximo Menchaca Photos by Coleman Schwartz Media New Year’s Eve is a time for reflecting backwards and looking forwards. A concert is the perfect environment for resetting intentions. My usual haunt has been Umphrey’s McGee’s venue, but I know I made the right decision to spend my New Year’s Eve with Yak Attack and the “Yak Pak” at the Goodfoot this time. Let me say it bluntly: this show might be the end of an era. It was an unseasonably chilly night in Portland, but you wouldn’t have guessed it from the line wrapping around the corner. Yak and Brett McConnell, the man on the lights, were in full force. The current trio - Nick Werth on the drum kit, Rowan Cobb on bass guitar, and Dave Dernovsek on keys, guitar, and looping – spent diligent years growing a fanbase and honing their craft right here at the Goodfoot. All that hard work finally culminated in not only playing this familiar venue on a holiday, but selling it out! Ma...
