Join us for another excellent evening of fresh, free music at Found on Sunday, May 25 from 5-7:30pm. Melt into summer with us and the music of Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin, Jenny Jenkins, Mad Gregs.
Flowers From The Man Who Shot Your Cousin
Behind this unlikely name is Paris based sadcore songwriter Morgan Caris whose peaceful and elegant chord progressions, unaffected, soothing voice and bone dry and sometimes darkly sarcastic lyrics evoke Leonard Cohen or Smog. Spinning On Air’s David Garland (WNYC) had this to say about his “subtly unusual” songs: “Their gentle surfaces belie churning depths. Abrupt twists in the lyrics, and understated surprises in the music, tend to make listeners lose their balance and fall into an unusual place.” A place of bewildering solace and calming unrest.
Jenny Jenkins
A long time member of the Olympia music scene, Jenny was one of those amazing musicians who for whatever reason never hit the road or released an album. Now with “Oventoucher” properly coming out on Bicycle Records, and tours cramming her calendar, all that is about to change. Her ukulele strummed songs are rich with sensual language, sharp wit, a voice both sleepy and passionate and a feel for the joys and ironies of love. Tackling relationships, introspection, sex, and well, lots of sex, they will leave you laughing, aroused and heavy hearted all at the same time.
Mad Gregs
All members of the Los Angeles based band Mad Gregs share the responsibility of song-writing, collaboratively arranging pieces written by each individual member. The bass clarinet allows for the band to maintain a more intimate volume, resulting in descriptions as welcome as “chamber pop” and as inaccurate as “the Beach Boys on acid” (consider: the Beach Boys were on acid; Mad Gregs generally are not.) Mad Gregs’ most recent boast is an endorsement from future president Barack Obama, “Mad Gregs is the perfect union of spiritual and physical reality into an audible form. A psycho-sensual vision quest through the post-modern desert of the American dream. What a ride, what a ride!”
