About Me |
|
| I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4GREENVILLE WAS FORMED IN BARCELONA IN 2007 BY THE GUITAR AND VIOLIN DUO OF JAY HARDEN AND NAOMI SASKA WEDMAN. WITH OVER THIRTY YEARS OF PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE BETWEEN THEM, THEY CONTINUE TO DEVELOP AND EXPAND THEIR REPERTOIRE. MIXING HARDEN..S ORIGINAL SONGS (GET ALONG, THAT..S ME, ETC.) WITH A WIDE RANGE OF OLD TIMEY TUNES FROM THE ANNALS OF AMERICAN MUSIC, (BLUES IN A BOTTLE, DEEP ELEM BLUES, WILDWOOD FLOWER, ETC.) ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT YOU..RE LIKELY TO HEAR BLUEGRASS, BLUES, JAZZ, COUNTRY AND ROCK AND ROLL SPICED UP WITH COVER SONGS OF NEIL YOUNG, TRADITIONAL IRISH FIDDLE TUNES, MUDDY WATERS, BOB DYLAN, GRATEFUL DEAD, DUKE ELLINGTON, GRAM PARSONS, JOHNNY CASH, THE KNITTERS, VELVET UNDERGROUND, BLONDIE...WELL, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON.... AS A CLASSICALLY TRAINED VIOLINIST, SASKA WEDMAN (FROM SASKATOON, SASKATCHEWAN) SUCCESSFULLY BRIDGES THE GAP BETWEEN THE CLASSICAL AND TRADITIONAL WORLDS WITH HER VIRTUOSIC PLAYING. MANY CROWDS HAVE BEEN LEFT BREATHLESS AFTER ONE OF HER OUTSTANDING SOLOS. HARDEN, RAISED ON HIGHWAY 61 NEAR MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA, IS A LONG-TIME VETERAN OF THE PORTLAND AND SEATTLE MUSIC SCENE. HIS EARTHY AUTHENTIC STYLE OF SINGING AND PLAYING COME FROM YEARS PLAYING IN CLUBS, BARS AND OUTDOOR FESTIVALS IN THE NORTHWEST USA AND CANADA. HARDEN AND SASKA WEDMAN ALSO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE GREAT SINGER CARRIE LEWIS, ALSO FROM PORTLAND, OREGON. WITH HER POWERFUL LEAD AND HARMONY VOCALS, THE LEWIS-HARDEN DUET ON SONGS BY GRAM PARSONS AND EMMYLOU HARRIS ARE SIMPLY STUNNING. AT TIMES GREENVILLE IS A FULL BAND, WITH JOHNNY ENGLISH PLAYING HARMONICA IN THE LITTLE WALTER STYLE OF CHICAGO BLUES, AND SCOTTISH ANDY PLAYING HIS ATMOSPHERIC PEDAL STEEL GUITAR AS AN EERIE BLANKET OF SOUND TO TAKE YOU BACK HOME TO NASHVILLE. RECEIVING ENTHUSIASTIC RESPONSES FROM A GROWING LEGION OF FANS, GREENVILLE CONTINUES TO WOW THE CROWD AT LOCAL VENUES SUCH AS SOLO BAR IN POBLE SEC, TABERNA BERRIKETA NEAR PLAZA UNIVERSITAT AND GRAN VIA, HONKY TONK BLUES BAR NEAR PLAZA DE SANTS, AND EL MONASTERIO ACROSS FROM THE POST OFFICE ON LAIETANA.....CHECK THEM OUT AS SOON AS YOU CAN!!!.. | |

The list is long......Huddie Ledbetter "Leadbelly", Charlie Patton, Lightnin' Sam Hopkins, Mississippi John Hurt, Snooks Eaglin, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie McTell, Marie Laveau, Skip James, Woody Guthrie, Cisco Houston, Pete Seeger, Norman Blake, Tony Rice, Doc Watson, Carter Family, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley Sun Sessions, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Buddy Guy, New Lost City Ramblers, Harry Smith, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Grateful Dead, Jerry Garcia, Dr. John the Night Tripper, Psilocybin, Ry Cooder, Captain Beefheart, THC, The Band, Jimi Hendrix, Kinks, Hot Tuna, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Arlo Guthrie, Gram Parsons, Thomas Pynchon, Sunshine, John Lennon, Purna Das, Big Star, Television, The Byrds, Talking Heads, Beck, Bonnie Raitt, Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Sandy Denny, The Who, Syd Barret, Jello Biafra, NRBQ, Butthole Surfers, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, John Hammond, Jr., Rolling Stones, Daniel Lanois, Paul Geremiah, Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Billie Holiday, Thelonious Monk,Dr. Eugene Chadbourne, Fela Anakulapu Kuti, Mark Lanegan, Brian Wilson, Michael Franti, Bob Marley, Replacements, Minutemen, Billy Bragg, Leon Rosselson, Fairport Convention, Billy Kennedy, Lynn Conover, Jim Bowyer, Pete Krebs, Bingo, Little Sue, Fernando, Jeff Rosenberg, Totem Soul (Iowa City), Pandora's Boom Box, Wholistic Ramblers, .....notice nothing very recent, I stopped consuming music a long time ago, can't think of the last time I bought a CD and I don't download people's music for free (hint, hint!!)
