Here at The Blue Note we have wanted for some time to set up a Singer-Songwriter evening which opens the door to new musicians and old alike, enabling there to be a regular event aimed at providing a platform for creative expression within our well-established music venue in Dresden Neustadt. You can see live music most nights of the week here and there is a lot of amazing international musical traffic passing through the door. In addition to this it makes sense to us to have a monthly evening where we showcase musicians and artists who are perhaps new to the scene, or at the beginning of their journey as performers and wish to build up experience and a local following, or simply are not regular performers at the Note but who are often playing outside of our local area. Local musician and Songwriter Dan Riley has joined forces with us to act as our booking agent and host for this event. He is a regular here at the club with his duo project 'Riley & Voltz' and also performs solo from time to time. Dan will do doubt play a few songs at the beginning of each evening in order to grease the wheels and get things flowing nicely.
The usual format for each evening will feature two sets of live music from two different acts, but occasionally we will feature just one act if they are accomplished enough and have the body of material needed to play two sets. Lastly, this is not a ticketed event. It is free entry to all guests but with a recommended minimum donation per person required. 100% of the donations from the audience goes to the artists performing on the night. We look forward to hearing from you :)
feat. Sea of Love alias Marie-Sophie Kanske
Sea of Love alias Marie-Sophie Kanske bewegt sich innerhalb einer eigenen Zeitrechnung - ein gutes Stück außerhalb herkömmlicher (musik-)industrieller Mechanismen.
Die Musik ist reduziert, ohne jedoch weniger aufwändig oder vielseitig daher zu kommen. Eher transparent. Und auch ein wenig radikal. Sea of Love schichtet ihre Stimmen nicht in warmen Harmonien, sondern setzt sie wie Scherben eines zerbrochenen Spiegels gegeneinander. Auch die Produktion von Christian Grochau verharrt im gezupften Folksong nie viel länger als ein paar Momente am Ausgangspunkt jener Lieder. Die Lieder sind eine Landschaft, in der man sich bewegen, verweilen kann, während sie Musik und Stimmen manchmal wie Pfeile, manchmal wie warme Sonnenstrahlen aus verschiedenen Hinterhalten auf ihren Hörer schießt. Verwunschen, verstörend, zärtlich überrumpelnd.
