We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Peter Mulvey to the Little Apple House Concerts living room on Friday, January 23rd at 8:00 PM! We will also be joined by special guest Brianna Lane for this show. Please join us for our first show of 2009 and our first show at our new location in southwest Minneapolis.
Peter Mulvey began as a self-described “city kid” from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He played, wrote, and sang in bands while studying theatre at Marquette University. After graduating, he traveled to Ireland, where he learned the trade of busker on the streets of Dublin. Returning to the U.S. a few years later, he settled in Boston, building an audience through street and subway performing, while also immersing himself in the thriving musical community. Following his Signature Sounds label debut The Trouble with Poets in 2000, Peter released three more solo albums – Ten Thousand Mornings (2001), Kitchen Radio (2004) and The Knuckleball Suite (2006) – in addition to the 2003 collaborative Redbird album with Kris Delmhorst and Jeffrey Foucault. About him, The Irish Times wrote: “Peter Mulvey is consistently the most original and dynamic of the US singer-songwriters to tour these shores… A phenomenal performer with huge energy, a quick fire, quirky take on life, and an extraordinary guitar style… a joy to see.”
Edie Carey returns! Edie was the first artist to perform at Little Apple House Concerts and we couldn’t be happier to have her back on April 3rd, 2009 at 8:00PM!
What an amazing show this is going to be! We could not be more excited to host Antje Duvekot and Natalia Zukerman together in one night. Antje Duvekot has been called “the next great American folk singer-songwriter.” Born in Germany, Antje came to the U.S. as a teen. Duvekot’s songs feel at once fresh-faced and firmly rooted, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice. (
Singer/songwriters Anaïs Mitchell and Rachel Ries met at a Texas campfire in 2004. Both artists had releases on the same small label—Chicago’s Waterbug Records—before Mitchell joined Ani Difranco’s Righteous Babe Records and Ries founded her own SoDak Records in 2007. The two friends began doing occasional tours together, for camaraderie and to share touring expenses. “People kept saying, ‘you girls should make a recording,’” says Mitchell. “So finally we did!” The result is the simply titled country e.p. The relaxed, vintage production features musicians from the artists’ respective Boston and Chicago communities and the vocal harmonies they worked out for their tours. We are thrilled that Anaïs & Rachel are stopping by Little Apple House Concerts as part of their tour in support of this new record.
Join us at our next show on Thursday June 26th, when we will be hosting
