NEW RELEASE GUIDE
JUNE 2015
Welcome!! Welcome!!
Janet Klein is the only person we have ever spoke with who actually
used the words “Tee Hee” in her conversation. The Ukulele Chanteuse
leads a consort of musical aggregators (Her Parlor Boys) to whom the
music of the 20s and 30s is both second nature and a delight. Be it
Vaudeville, Jazz, Ragtime, Yiddish or early Tin Pan Alley, in the
vernacular of this century, they nail it!! Janet Klein is so retro, she makes
Rock-A-Billy seem like an invention of The Jetsons.
Teachers live for recess! Or in the case of three teachers from Seattle,
Recess Monkey. With over a dozen releases, this trio carries the flag in
the Kindie World. And they have a leg up due to bass player Jack
Forman being the host of a daily program on SiriusXM’s Kid Place Live
channel. Hot Air is the newest and is both an album and a 40 minute
animated video which accompanies the songs.
The Windham Hill label of acoustic/new age/folk releases was
prominent during the late 70s through the 90s. Adventure Music will
be reissuing some of those albums commencing this month with two
featuring Darol Anger. One pairs Darol with Barbara Higbie; the other
with Mike Marshall. These albums encapsulate a period of time when
the New Acoustic movement was first taking root in American music.
More to come in future months.
And we are pleased to offer a couple of new titles from the Torontobased Six Shooter Records. One from the Good Lovelies trio of
stunning vocalists featuring their stellar songwriting. The other from
Hawksley Workman, singer, songwriter, actor, band leader (Mounties),
and producer. A man who is so busy, it’s a wonder he gets anything
done---but yet he does. Old Cheetah is a sonic delight also available as
a double LP package.

Mike Marshall / Caterina Lichtenberg, JS Bach
Two of the finest mandolinists in the world today, Caterina Lichtenberg and Mike Marshall join forces in
landmark collaboration. A world premier recording of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Two Part Inventions, Organ
Duets and Canons from the Art of the Fugue arranged for mandolin and mandocello. 2014 Grammy
Nominee Mike Marshall and multi-award winning German musician Caterina Lichtenberg create a
beautiful tapestry of texture, sound and interplay between their string instruments on these keyboard
pieces. Mike Marshall is known for his mastery of a variety of styles including jazz, world and bluegrass
and has been recording and touring for over 35 years. Internationally renowned musician Caterina
Lichtenberg is known world wide as mandolin soloist both with orchestras and in chamber settings and
has over 10 CDs to her credit. She holds the only Professor position in the world today for classical
mandolin at the Cologne, Germany music Conservatory. Together they bring their seemingly distant
worlds together in this new recording. The music is both intellectually engaging and delightfully playful.
These two virtuosi have left an indelible mark on the future of the mandolin.

CD
The Beaumonts, Hey Y'all It's
The five parolees from Lubbock have done it again with their newest release Hey Y'all It's (The
Beaumonts), following hot on the heels of the Saustex reissue of their 2010 classic Get Ready For and the
2013 breakout Where Do You Want It? The album opens with the good time Tex-Mex infused number "
(Heaven or) San Antonio", sure to be a perennial regional favorite. The boys keep it rolling with some
mountain music on their anti-drug message "If You Take Drugs (You're Gonna Die)". But don't think The
Beaumonts have forsaken the country sounds they are known for - there's plenty of that and a hint of
rock'n'roll on other gut-busting numbers such as "Change My Name", "Let's Take A Ride" and "My
Condition". The Beaumonts are here to stay and retain their title of America's # 1 Porno Honky Tonk
Band!

Good Lovelies, Burn the Plan
With Burn The Plan, a long-awaited new album, Good Lovelies are both fulfilling and defying their socalled musical destiny as a "folk trio." What makes this Burn The Plan special is that the band's
considerable strengths - winsome songwriting, impeccable vocals, and triangulated charisma - don't tell
the full story. There's a new spirit of adventurousness that gives Burn The Plan an extra spark; the album
is permeated with textures and tones from musical worlds away.

Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys, It's The Girl
Janet Klein & Her Parlor Boys - Merrymakers of Whoopee and Purveyors of rare and scintillating Jazz,
Vaudeville & Tin Pan Alley tunes of the 1920s and 30s presents their 8th CD release - It's The Girl. The 5
years since the last release have been put to good use. The arrangements' intricately conceived tapestry
and highly polished execution sets this collection in a new class of ensemble achievement - the group has
vaulted to a higher plateau. This is 1920's and 30's hot, sweet and melodic music with new and fresh
arrangements that will appeal to a modern ear. It's The Girl is an engrossing and moving experience….and
it's fun too!

CD
Darol Anger & Barbara Higbie, Tideline
In 1980, Windham Hill's newly empowered Executive Producer Will Ackerman heard my first release
"Fiddlistics" and liked the lone, lonesome piano and violin duet on that recording. He wanted more of that
feeling; Barbara Higbie and I managed to give him that and more. Barbara, my Northern California
compatriot that I had actually met two years prior in Paris while she was busking around the continentf,
had an ear for odd time signatures that sound perfectly normal, her perfectly tilted melodies, and tough,
joyful groove fit right in with all the surging, leaping music happening around us. I finally felt ready to sing
out my own story on a fiddle borrowed from my best friend. Our total conviction about the music made
everything come together for Tideline. ~Darol Anger 2015

Mike Marshall & Darol Anger, Chiaroscuro
This re-release and re-mastering of Mike Marshall and Darol Anger’s Chiaroscuro Windham Hill
Records recording (1985) shines a light on two of the architects of today’s New Acoustic music movement:
Mandolinist Mike Marshall and Violinist Darol Anger. Chiaroscuro CD set the stage for many
developments that the American string band format has since gone on to create. Darol and Mike’s
recording output and collaborations over that past 35 years reads like a who’s-who of string instruments in
the world today. From Edgar Meyer, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas, Chris Thile, Bruce Molsky, to the Turtle
Island Quartet, Psychograss, Vasen, and Hamilton de Holanda to name a few. But it was this recording
that in many ways paved the way for the next 30 years of acoustic music, creating some of the most
adventurous blending of new and old sounds that had never been heard before.

Bad Assets, Poncho
Portland's Bad Assets play original whiskey drenched, roots rockin party country music. Singer/Songwriter
Motor Jeffries envisioned the project back in 2007 or so and recruited Ben Cosloy (lead guitar), Kevin
Marcotte (bass, vocals) and Damon Rose (drums). The band soon picked up where Motor's previous
project (Party Country) left off. They've since honed their particular brand of "Party Country", this time
generally focusing on songs about drinkin'. The sophomore release Poncho, features songs penned by
both Jeffries and Marcotte but written as a band--tight, distilled. Bad Assets has graced many stages over
the years throughout the Northwest from corporate events to weddings, outdoor festivals, block parties,
line dance clubs and plenty of taverns. I should mention they are all quite good looking, but then again,
"beauty is in the eye of the Beerholder."

Box of Shamans, Belief and Illusion
From Los Angeles, Box of Shamans is a new musical project featuring current members of last year's
break-out progressive rock band, Heliopolis, venturing into more adventurous and darker cinematic
territory on their debut, Belief and Illusion. Led by multi-instrumentalist Michael Matier (Heliopolis, Ten
Jinn) and featuring the soaring voice and wordplay of Scott Jones (Heliopolis, Rocket Scientists), the band
also features virtuoso drummer Jerry Beller (Heliopolis, Mars Hollow). Belief and Illusion was produced by
John Prpich (Heliopolis, Edgar Winter) and mastered by Scott Sedillo (U2).
The two tracks on Nick Jaina’s new 45 are textbook examples of Nick's typically brilliant indie-pop
songwriting, flush with melodic hooks and lyrical gems. "Sea of Japan" and the b-side, " Delta of Venus"
were recorded during the sessions for Nick's 2013 full-length album, Primary Perception, which was
featured by NPR's Heavy Rotation and All Things Considered.
"I'd feel embarrassed describing Nick Jaina as a genius outright, and I'm sure he'd hate that too, but
it's so tempting--- because he is so clearly the real deal." - Portland Mercury

Jimm McIver, Sunlight Reaches
Jimm McIver is an independent pop-song-magi with deep Seattle roots. He writes intelligent, beautiful
and sometimes ridiculous songs. He sings them with the voice of a dark angel, a wilted rose petal, a lion
roaring. Sunlight Reaches is his 3rd solo album, his 7th overall and most importantly his most mature,
fully-realized work.
"Jimm has earned both 'm's in his name -- his songs elicit 'mm...' and 'hmm...' reactions every time he
plays."
-pat mAcdonald (Timbuk3, Purgatory Hill)
"Jimm is a pop encyclopedia with smarts and a killer voice." -Walter Salas-Humara (The Silos)

Jessica Lee Wilkes, Lone Wolf
Lone Wolf, the debut release from Jessica Lee Wilkes, will scorch you with the fire of a fearless femme
fatale. Hearkening back to 1950s rock 'n roll and rhythm and blues, Wilkes injects these forms with a raw
vigor that shakes the dust off a classic sound. The 5-song EP finds Jessica belting through heavy grooving
numbers featuring an accomplished studio band: Jason Smay (JD McPherson) on drums, Eddie Angel
(Los Straitjackets) on guitar, Kellie Everett (The Hooten Hallers) on saxophone, and Jessica on electric
bass. Lone Wolf is an infectiously timeless record, and picks up where Jessica left off as bassist and colead vocalist for The Dirt Daubers.

Hawksley Workman, Old Cheetah
Hawksley Workman is not afraid to be strange. After over a decade in the business, this hyper-prolific,
perpetually restless creative force continues to push the boundaries of experience and the heights of his
successes well outside the comfort zone. In fact, Hawksley Workman's comfort zone is probably not all
the comforting to most: it's left of left field and nowhere near the beaten path. Call him a lone wolf, an odd
duck or a strange bird; just don't call him ordinary. The vinyl component is available in a double LP set.
