Alejandro In Toronto (was Re:Al @Johnny D's, 5/6)
Before he hits Johnny D's, he's here Saturday night at Ted's Wrecking Yard. Any Toronto P2'ers planning to go? It's an early door--8pm--not sure if there's an opener. And, in the same venue, last Saturday, Stacey Earle knocked out an almost full house. She's way better than the last time I saw her (twice about 6 months ago--and she was pretty good then). She's got her husband Mark Stuart (formerly of Steve's band) backing her up on guitar, and she sold CD's to probably half the people in the audience. Go see her if she hits your town. Randi.
Dave Carter and Tracy Grammer (was Re: jerry curry vs. portland)
Lianne recommends.. But for something more country-ish, I suggest you check out Dave Carter Tracy Grammer. I heard them at PSA (Portland Songwriters Association) and again 6 weeks ago at the Greg Brown concert in Corvallis. I'd say they're sort of country-singersongwriter-folk blend. IMHO, their faults are that some of Dave's songs are too "redneck," and sometimes, too "new age" (in subject matter). But they have a real nice acoustic sound and their voices blend wonderfully. Tracy plays fiddle, mandolin and more, and she has a beautiful voice; and Dave does banjo and guitar and has an OK voice. I've got their cd if you want to hear it... I'm gonna second Lianne's recommendation on this duo. I first heard them at Kerrville last summer and they stole the show in the New Folk contest (and were New Folk Winners). They've won many songwriter awards before that and since then. I lobbied hard for them to be included when we selected the Folk Alliance showcases, and although they apparently were both sick last weekend, they showcased well and had people talking. They've got a couple records--the most recent was rated pretty highly by the people on the FolkDJ list in their year end wrap up. Randi.

Kowalek's label sent us her disc last week, along with one by a group whose name escapes me at the moment, but whose disc was produced by Morris Tepper. That disc will likely get airtime on tonight's show. Would that be Wyckham Porteous? BTW, he's a person, not a group... Adding more CanCon, Randi.
