Hello friends,
Tonight in Des Moines, IA there is a very special Scented Vinyl at the Mars Cafe. My friend Scott Yoshimura (known in solo musical form as Menlo) will be sharing thoughts and music with Dan Bosman and all available listeners. Scott has a great voice and has written a small collection of really charming acoustic ditties. Check it out tonight – the music starts around 7:30pm – Support local music, Des Moines!
Want to hear some of the best music in the world? Head to the Vaudeville Mews tonight to hear:
The Silent Years
Menlo
Cashes Rivers
Does music change lives? Yes! Go to the show!
If you like Simon & Garfunkel style sweet harmonies will excellent, insightful, and “eternal” songwriting then I implore you, go see Storyhill in Zumbrota, MN tonight. Really, it’ll change your life for the better.
I saw the fantasitic duo last night in Ames, and it was a breath of fresh air. If you’ve been looking for a bit of illumination, a little inspiration…make the drive and see them live.
Or…if you really can’t…go listen to their music online and buy a couple of discs. You won’t regret it!
One of my longtime fav’s just played in Des Moines, and I was fortunate enough to catch the show at the Mars Cafe. He’s been crisscrossing the nation for quite a while, but I’ve rarely been able to catch him in action. Last night I got to hear his latest songs live, and man…can he sing! High, clean falsetto, insightful lyrics, and a showman; he took on the shoegazing crowd and forced a few much needed claps and laughs from us.
Andy is cutting across the upper-Midwest right now; I highly suggest you go see a show and support this man. You won’t regret it.
Andy Zipf has just released a new song collection “The Coward’s Choir.” Check it out!
Whew, my voice is just starting to recover from last week’s triple shot of acoustic shows in the Des Moines area. The Vaudeville Mews, Being There Coffee, and Starbucks all played host to the Finn Miles crew last weekend!
Coming up, we’ve got a bit of a touring gap…but don’t worry, it’s with good reason! We’re putting the finishing touches on our upcoming CD (Codename:Telltale), to be released in May 2009. As we labor in the studio I invite you to go listen to other great Central Iowa bands (such as the Envy Corps) at this year’s GDP festival.
