Oh my good Lord. 

Wow.

Whew.

If you were there, you know what the heck I'm talking about.

If you weren't, please, please, PLEASE go to one of Daniel Martinez's web sites and enjoy.  He'll definitely play at Magpie the next time he's in town (and we hope it is soon).  For someone playing his first house concert, he had the audience enthralled from his first song.  Hmmm.  Sorry, just thinking there for a minute.

Hey.  Hi, Beth! 

We are returning to our Oregonian theme, having hosted L.J. Booth and Chris Kokesh for a lovely concert in November. Beth Wood is an artist we have enjoyed hearing (and playing on the radio) for years, and we're really pleased that we are getting her back (it's been too long!) to play here in January.  Yes, it's right on top of the Sundance Festival.  Man (and/or Woman) up.  You owe it to yourself to take a few moments away from (potentially) brilliant new movies to come see a performer who is (definitely as) brilliant as any you'll see up on Old Main St.  Beth is touring in support of her eighth studio album, “The Weather Inside”:  a coming-of-age record from a veteran artist.  Beth’s latest work embraces strength and tenderness, the polished and the well-worn, the broken and the hopeful heart.   Produced by Billy Crockett at Blue Rock Studio in Wimberley, TX, “The Weather Inside” delves deep into Beth’s creative reserves and delivers a strong collection of songs and performances to remember. So that's what you'll be hearing — not too shabby!


For those of you who say "Beth Who?", here's a few media snippets:


“A superb singer/songwriter whose versatility discourages labeling.”
     — Fort Worth Star-Telegram

“Beth Wood is a musical triple-threat — a thoughtful songwriter and talented multi-instrumentalist with a supple, soulful voice.”
      — Washington Post

“Lord have mercy…Wood is a down-home, old-fashioned girl with a wicked streak”
     — Indie-music.com

“…when you come across a recording like Beth Wood’s “The Weather Inside” you take note and recognize that this is the work of a genuine artist with a remarkable voice determined to make meaningful and lasting art.”
      —Lone Star Music Magazine


So... come back to the Magpie house for a great evening of music without all the hallowe'en candy (okay, there might be a few Christmas nuts . . .)


Time: Saturday, January 28th at 7:30 pm. Doors open at 7:00 pm.

Address: RSVP (by email or by calling 801.487.5552) to get the address.

Phone: 801.487.5552

Cost: $15 suggested donation, all of which goes to Beth.

What to bring: Anything you want - we will have limeade with mint and whatever type of wacky cold salad Laurel feels like making; if you wish for a stronger or simply different beverage please bring some. Snacks for the table are always gratefully consumed by the musicians and your co-audience members. 

Grant and Laurel, your bright-eyed hosts (and Susanne in absentia)

Mailings

Many people have asked that we let them know about other house concerts or similar events, and so we've decided to give it a try. However, we're both very mindful of how much unwanted email all of us get, day in and day out, and don't want to contribute to that onslaught in the slightest. So, if you'd rather only get announcements about the Magpie House Concerts series, just let us know, and we'll promptly take care of it. (And just to help you decide, we can assure you that we will not be sending out more than one extra announcement a month, and often not even that much.)

If you are on our mailing list, you will hear about things first; so if you are not, why not sign up now? We promise not to spam you or let anyone else know your address. And if you know someone else who'd be interested, of course, please pass the word along.

You can do this by clicking here to subscribe directly, or by sending an email asking to be added to concerts@magpiehouseconcerts.com.
