Across the last 15 years, Ryan Gustafson of The Dead Tongues has emerged as one of modern folk’s most distinct voices. As idiosyncratic and spectral as the songs have sometimes been, Gustafson has always tied his visions and verses to the kinds of hooks you tuck away like talismans, pulled out in case of emergency. Dust, Unsung Passage, Desert: The Dead Tongues’ albums remain some of the more compelling and curious works in their field on this side of a century. The latest edition to The Dead Tongues’ catalog, the song-centric and magnetic 'Body of Light' and the discursive and wonderfully elliptical 'I Am a Cloud', is 16 complete tunes split across interweaving and disparate albums.

Lou Hazel was born in the town of Olean, New York. He skirted the compulsive hunting and fishing tradition held close to his father’s heart - instead cultivating a sensitivity more suited to artists and vagabonds. His travels brought him across the country, and eventually through debilitating depression, before coming to rest with a sense of personal peace and positivity in Durham, NC.

With two songwriters, six albums, and more than a thousand shows under their belt, The Coffis Brothers have earned their reputation as modern-day torchbearers of all-American rock & roll. It's a sound caught halfway between amplified Americana, acoustic folk, roadhouse R&B, and electrifying roots music, crafted by a pair of California-born siblings who've been sharing the stage since childhood, and the five piece band filled out by their childhood friend, Kyle Poppen on lead guitar, and the rhythm section of Aidan Collins (bass), and Cory Graves (drums).

That sound reaches a new peak with Kaw-fis Bruth-urs. The band's third collaboration with Bay Area legend (and longtime Mother Hips frontman) Tim Bluhm, who serves as the album's producer, Kaw-fis Bruth-urs finds Jamie and Kellen Coffis letting their guard down, enjoying the creative ride as much as the destination itself. For every signature-sounding song like "Cut Right Through" — a heartland rock anthem built for highway drives and long horizons, as sunny as the band's Golden State homeland and as hook-driven as a Tom Petty classic — there's another track that stretches the band's sound into new territory. The result is The Coffis Brothers' widest-ranging album yet, running the gamut from bluesy, blue-eyed soul ("Face the Music") to jangling, harmony-heavy power pop (“Do You Want To").

"This is what we do, and we're giving ourselves license to evolve and get better at it, too" says Jamie, who was raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains of northern California alongside his mother — a children's musician — and his younger brother. Decades after Jamie and Kellen made their stage debut alongside their mom, singing three-part blood harmonies at a young age, their musical bond has only grown stronger, sharpened by hundreds of live shows as much as their shared DNA. "It's the natural evolution of us performing together and spending so much of our lives together," Kellen adds. "We didn't set out to make anything in one particular direction — we just wanted to make a batch of really great songs."

The Trinity Alps Chamber Music Festival kicks off its 15th season with a pair of piano recitals by festival director Ian Scarfe.

The two concerts will be held on Friday, February 14th at 8:00pm at the Arcata Playhouse in Arcata, and Saturday, February 15th at 7:00pm at the Trinity Alps Performing Arts Center in Weaverville.

The concerts will feature a program of classical masterpieces along with the Classical works will include elegant Preludes and Fugues by J. S. Bach, a collection of the nostalgic and expressive Intermezzos by Johannes Brahms, and Edvard Grieg's spritely and virtuosic “Holberg Suite”.

Scarfe will also perform his own piano transcription called “Dracula Suite”, an arrangement of music by Philip Glass composed for the original 1931 film starring Bela Lugosi as Count Dracula.

“This is a high-risk, high-reward program,” says Scarfe, “I first played Philip Glass' Dracula score in the original version for string quartet and two pianos. I'm not sure what possessed me to arrange it for solo piano - perhaps the vampire's supernatural charm has affected my mind as well! My arrangement captures the loneliness and solitude of the undead Count Dracula's existence, the hypnotic charm that allows him to seduce his victims, and the urgency that builds toward the end of the film as the heroes confront Dracula.”

All concerts are open to the public, and instead of set ticket prices, music lovers are invited to contribute on a sliding scale, “pay what you can” basis.

Hailing from the Bay Area and helmed by singer/songwriter Grayson Converse, Spooky Mansion combines nostalgic rock & roll energy with hints of country, jazz, blues and rock. Revered for their live show which commands fans to the dance floor, their celebratory and inclusive music fuse Americana & classic rock n’ roll with high energy, breezy surf vibes. In honor of their California tour, they are thrilled to share a brand new single “Weather” alongside an official music video from the forthcoming album What About You?. Grayson shares, “I wrote this song when my life was starting to get real good. It’s a song about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and running towards it. ‘Ya I’m gonna keep on getting high, high as I can go. And nothing in the whole damn world is gonna keep me down’. It’s a joyful song both lyrically and musically. I hope the listener feels the same joy as I feel singing it.”

Despite what you may read, Spooky Mansion did not form at Owen Wilson’s surprise 45th birthday party, nor is it a collection of friends who worked together at a haunted house. Just like the origin of the band, Converse approaches their songs and their live shows with a smirk and a wink. Having just come off their recent tour supporting The Moss, the band has shared stages with notable acts such as Natalia LaFourcade and Cafe Tacuba. Their live show is a high energy, raucous affair, with long time players Rob Mills, Marty Reising and Braden Lyle all backing up Converse’s rickety rasp and yelpy vocals.The band’s last album, The Curse, was released independently in 2021 and “captures the Los Angeles-based band’s infectious grooviness,” according to American Songwriter. Expect more music, live shows, and possibly true stories from the band throughout 2024. The new album What About You? will be released October 31, 2024.

Voodoo Glow Skulls were formed in 1988 by Eddie Casillas, Jorge Casillas, Jerry O’neill and Frank Casillas. After a few years of backyard party shows, cassette demos, 7” singles and first club gigs, they released their debut album “Who is, this is?” for Dr. Strange records in 1993, gaining the attention of Brett Gurewitz, owner of Epitaph records. The band then signed to Epitaph records and released four albums, starting in 1995 with Firme, their most successful album to date, then followed by Baile de los Locos, Band Geek Mafia and Symbolic.

Mustard Plug started out in 1991 in the punk clubs, basements, and dive bars of the Midwest, playing punk-influenced ska music before most people in the U.S. had ever heard of ska. They embraced a DIY work ethic that had been ingrained in them growing up in the 1980s hardcore punk scene, and applied it to everything they would ever do together as a band. Mustard Plug self-released their first cassette tape, 1992’s Skapocalypse Now!, and played constantly to earn enough money to record their first album, 1994’s Big Daddy Multitude, which was released on legendary NYC label Moon Records. With their newfound national distribution and exposure, the band climbed into their van and performed their music for new fans across North America.

For the past 28 years, with a world-class ensemble of musicians, dancers and singers from both sides of the Atlantic, Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas has played to packed concert halls and to critical acclaim nationwide, recreating on stage the now-famous Rambling House; that remote cottage in the West of Ireland, where the neighbors gather every year for a communal night before Christmas. There, the rafters ring with fiery traditional music, Irish Christmas carols, riveting traditional dance and, of course, stories of life in the remote parish of Teampall an Ghleanntáin, Tomáseen’s birthplace. The show invites its audience to come into that cottage, into that world, into that era, with us, and be our neighbors for the night.

Neva Dinova’s reinvigorating full-length Canary features a new lineup, fresh perspective and a sound more urgent than anything they’ve created in the past. Recast after 15 years of inactivity and newly energized by a tour offer from longtime Omaha friends Cursive, songwriter/guitarist/singer Jake Bellows started sending demos to drummer Roger L. Lewis and just-recruited bassist Megan Siebe. They began woodshedding new songs, and the latest incarnation of Neva Dinova was born. After an East Coast run, the band returned to Omaha to record Canary at Make Believe Studios. “I’m trying to cover a lot more space in the band now because there’s only one guitar, so I write a little differently in order to cover that space.” (An understatement considering the previous lineups of the band featured three guitarists.) The result is an album that is more focused while still allowing for the occasional Neil Young-inspired guitar solo or unexpected sonic flourish.

The songs on Canary were honed on the road allowing for a largely live recording session that captures the visceral energy of the band. There’s a beauty in the imperfections: The subtle buzzing of the amp, the finger noise on the strings and Bellows’s voice rising above all of it in a way that’s distinctly Neva Dinova. Canary is a raw and unfiltered glimpse of Bellows’s psyche and an electrifying batch of songs — unpretentious, empathetic, weathered, and wizened. It also marks a second act for one of indie rock’s most underrated acts.
