SARAH HARMER
When Sarah Harmer
burst onto the international music scene with her
acclaimed album You Were Here, Time Magazine hailed her as
“The year’s best debut”. Now, in her latest CD, the
Rounder Records vocal artist showcases a bit of her folk
and country sides in oh little fire, her first new album
in four years. These just may be the strongest batch of
songs Sarah Harmer has ever released. Co-produced by Sarah
and Gavin Brown (Metric, Sarah’s All of Our Names), oh
little fire is full of the same hooky melodies, insightful
lyrics, and lovely, plaintive singing which attracted so
many fans to her music from the start of her career. |

THE
LEMONHEADS
• 5:00 PM
The Lemonheads' evolution
from hardcore punk rockers to teenage heartthrobs is one
of the strangest sagas in alternative music. Initially,
the group was a punk-pop trio formed by three teenage
Boston suburbanites, but over the years, the band became a
vehicle for Evan Dando. Blessed with good looks and a
warm, sweet voice, Dando became a teen idol in the early
'90s, when Nirvana's success made alternative bands
commercially viable. While his simple, catchy songs were
instantly accessible, they tended to hide the more
subversive nature of his lyrics, as well as his gift for
offbeat covers and his devotion to country-rock father
Gram Parsons. After developing his signature blend of pop,
punk, and country-rock on several independent records in
the late '80s, Dando moved the Lemonheads to Atlantic
Records in 1990. |

STEPHEN KELLOGG & THE SIXERS
• 3:30 PM
Stephen Kellogg was born
in Westchester, PA and he began playing music in high
school, singing in a hard rock band known as Silent
Treatment. After graduating from high school, Kellogg
enrolled at UMASS in 1995, where he studied communication
and theater, but his passion for music traveled with him
and he began performing on weekends with friends Darian
Cunning, Tim Edgar and Tim Newton. Kellogg began playing
gigs anywhere he could and in 2000 self-released his first
album, South of Stephen, financed by his day job selling
newspaper advertising. A second album followed in 2002,
Lucky 11, which boasted a more pop-oriented sound, and
Kellogg's busy performing schedule was helping him make a
name for himself in the Northeast. |

SARAH HARMER
• 2:00 PM
Formerly the driving
force behind Weeping Tile, Canadian singer/songwriter
Sarah Harmer began her solo career in 1999 playing dates
with the Indigo Girls, Great Big Sea, and Moxy Fruvous.
Harmer's first album outside Weeping Tile was a tribute to
her father titled Songs for Clem. Credited to Harmer and
Jason Euringer, the folksy album was released
independently by Harmer, but was eventually given wider
release by Universal Canada. Her proper debut album, You
Were Here, was released mid-2000 by Zoe Records and showed
a polished, more mature side to her music than her work
with her former band. It wasn't until 2004 that Harmer
turned with a follow-up, All of Our Names. In 2006 she
explored her country and bluegrass side in I'm a Mountain. |

THE CANDLES
• 1:00 PM
The Candles is Josh
Lattanzi’s first solo project, encapsulating the varied
styles and influences he’s picked up while recording and
touring. With the first significant free time he had in
years, Lattanzi began the process of crafting his debut.
Finishing the album in NYC this past spring, Lattanzi
returned to the road, eventually enlisting his new
bandmate, Iha, to contribute to the track, Anywhere
Tonight. The west coast sounds of the seventies that
snaked like a vine from Gram Parsons through Evan Dando
and Ryan Adams nestle up nicely to Lattanzi on such tunes
as Let Me Down Easy and Between The Sounds while Here Or
Gone finds the singer delivering a big “roll down the car
windows” chorus that would make Tom Petty smile. |
