[FM] Ariane Lydon CD Release in Chicago, 4/6

[ZSparrow@aol.com]

Hello, List People!

My name is Sue Fink, I live in Chicago & am a fan of good music, and now also 
a beginning singer-songwriter.  From time to time I post a review here if 
I've been to a show that's really blown me away, and about a month ago I 
posted about Ariane Lydon, an extremely talented performer with a pleasant 
manner, unique voice, and the unbelievable talent of being able to play a 
harp & 12-string guitar at the same time, an amazing thing to see and hear.

Well, on Friday, April 6th, 9PM, Ariane is returning to the Hideout (1354 W. 
Wabansia St. in Chicago, 773/227-4433) for a CD release show.  I haven't 
heard her new CD yet but based on her wonderful "Lady of the Green" CD, I can 
hardly wait.  Nancy Walker (formerly of Sons of the Never Wrong, and a 
wonderful singer-songwriter herself) is organizing this, and I e-mailed Nancy 
to get more details so I could post them here.  Here's what she sent me:

<<For the past decade Ariane has been touring virtually nonstop performing at 
folk festivals, performing arts centers, radio stations and coffehouses 
throughout the U.S and Canada.  Now, with a recent move to southwestern 
Wisconsin, she has successfully launched her solo career as a world 
singer-songwriter-composer.

Ariane is at the forefront of a generation of reclaiming traditional acoustic 
music.  On 12- & 6-string guitars, Celtic Harp, Bodhran and vocals she 
displays amazing versatility reflecting her rich musical heritage in original 
contemporary form.

The latest of her 7 albums, "Lady Of The Green" on O'vert Records, is  
receiving critical acclaim in print and airplay and radio stations in the 
U.S., Candada,
 Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Hungary, Belgium, The British 
Isles and Chile.  Her new all instrumental CD which we are releasing at this 
show is called "The Open Harp" which makes her 8th record. >>
 
As a special treat, "La,La,La" -- SueDemel (of Sons of the Never Wrong), 
Jennifer Bienemann & Nancy Walker -- are opening for Ariane with guitarist 
Larry Clyman.  These ladies have super voices and are excellent harmony-ists 
(is that a word?) and blend very well together & are fun to watch & hear.

My disclaimer:  I do know the members of La,La,La and am a fan of each of 
their music.  While I've seen Ariane perform once before, I've never met her; 
I just wanted to pass on this information because I think it's going to be an 
excellent show.

thanks,
