| Wed 05.07 | Timber Timbre | Timber Timbre in | |
|
w. Fiver Timber Timbre is the brainchild of Taylor Kirk, the commanding persona at the fore of its spacious, weighted sound. With Hot Dreams, Kirk and longtime collaborator Simon Trottier daub vibrant colour across the rest-less evolution of Timber Timbre’s earthy, angular palette. The elements – Kirk’s singular intonation, quavered in slow, low register, over stark orchestration – combine in haunting resonance with rotation of music and time. Normalized is the bedrock essence of folksy and fifties Timber Timbre, now cached in smoothed, viscous tonality: new sonic admissions, ringing sensuality and caprice, neon and haze.

| Tue 06.10 | Clap Your Hands Say Yeah | Clap Your Hands Say Yeah in | |
|
w. Stagnant Pools It has been 10 years since Clap Your Hands Say Yeah started, and they’re about to release their fourth record, Only Run. Like the previous three, CYHSY will market and distribute the album independently. From the get go, this ethos struck a chord with fans, but it was merely an extension of lead singer/songwriter Alec Ounsworth’s core belief: “The general rule is to be appreciative of your audience,” he recently told Fast Company magazine. “If you can organize and are motivated, you should approach fans directly.” So, 10 years later, while much has changed, many things aren’t so different now. For instance, Ounsworth has spent all of 2014 thus far crisscrossing the United States playing living room shows. He still needs that direct connection with fans; it validates his vision of how art should work and confirms his belief in the music. Time: 9:00pm. Admission: $15. Age restrictions: 19+ After 10 pm.

spirits.

These professional musicians continue to take music
seriously, rendering intelligent reflections of songs that will take you back to times you miss, times you wish you could get back, or maybe revisit. Must see show for sure.

| Fri 09.05 | The Recliners | The Recliners in | |
|
Iowa City mainstays, the Recliners play such a wide variety of music that they are hard to classify. If there were a category labeled: contemporary Acoustic-Pop-Folk-Rock-Turkish, this group would certainly top the list.
Within their repertoire there is something for everyone, from classic ’60s and ’70s numbers to songs by contemporary singer-songwriters, from traditional Turkish tunes to American folk songs, Irish melodies, and bluegrass, from Van Morrison and the Beatles to the edgy rock and traditional ballads of Richard Thompson. Through it all there’s only one rule – everyone has to have a good time! Time: 7:00pm. Admission: $6. Age restrictions: All Ages. |

| Fri 09.12 | The 100s | The 100s in | |
|
The “roots music” tent is a pretty big piece of canvas these days, stretching to encompass an assortment of traditional and contemporary performers, songs, and styles. Under this big top, eastern Iowa’s The 100s fit like a heat houser on a Farmall 460. Over the past decade—with two albums (2005’s Take the Gravel Home and 2008’s Echoes), several lineup changes, a hiatus or three, memorable (if sporadic) live shows and heart-on-their-sleeves performances—The 100s have cultivated a modest but loyal following. Their songs weave stories and explore themes across the rock-country-folk-pop genres: love and loyalty, drunkards and dreamers, last chances and church calendar skies.
Time: 8:00pm. Admission: $8. Age restrictions: 19+ After 10 pm. |
