FRONTED BY HARMONY-HEAVY HUSBAND-AND-WIFE DUO, MASSACHUSETTS-BASED BAND JOINS WESLEY STACE’S CABINET OF WONDERS AT CITY WINERY MARCH 11
With an evolving sound that blends their
chamber pop and indie folk roots with the noise and nuance of '90s indie
rock, Winterpills — whose new album, 'Love Songs,' hits stores March 18th — will tour the northeast this spring. First stop will be Wesley Stace’s Cabinet of Wonders at City Winery on March 11,
joining host Wesley Stace and a bill with Walter Martin of the Walkmen,
Eugene Mirman, Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, and others.
The
tour includes a two-night stand at the Parlor Room in the band's
hometown of Northampton. For Winterpills, the shows mark the
continuation of a project that began a decade ago. Since then, the
Massachusetts-based band — fueled by the male-female harmonies of
husband-and-wife combo Philip Price and Flora Reed — has become an indie
favorite. In a Q&A,
Impose Magazine praised the band's "harmonies and melodies that pay
tribute to the art of capturing glimmers of light frozen in the aperture
blink of time."
"We weren't a couple until after I joined
the band," Reed remembers, "and when it started we tried hard to put the
brakes on, not thinking it was the best idea. But we quickly learned it
was the best idea. After 12 years together as bandmates and partners,
we've figured out what works and what doesn't work for our roles in the
band, and beyond that into our life together. I'm lucky to get to do
this work with Philip, travel the world, and sing with someone I love."
'Love
Songs' brings Winterpills together with another mainstay of the New
England indie rock scene: co-producer Justin Pizzoferrato, the Western
Mass studio head whose credits include projects with Sonic Youth, the
Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. Together, they push 'Love Songs' into bigger,
bolder territory, layering the band's melodic hooks with washes of
experimental noise and electric guitar.

“AMERICANA MASTER” (NASHVILLE SCENE) DOM FLEMONS TO PERFORM AT MADISON SQUARE PARK OCTOBER 4, SUBCULTURE OCTOBER 11, AND CITY WINERY CABINET OF WONDERS (NPR)
The American Songster Dom Flemons’ October tour will include three performances in NYC:
* October 4 in Madison Square Park
* October 11 at SubCulture
* and October 24 as part of the Cabinet of Wonders at City Winery, also featuring Eric Andersen, Mac McCaughan (of Superchunk), Eugene Mirman, Dani Shapiro, and Sarah Vowell.
Cabinet of Wonders has been picked up by NPR as a syndicated program and is hosted by Wesley Stace.
Flemons last performed in NYC at Lincoln Center Out of Doors in August. He earlier discussed what it means to be the American Songster in an extended interview with Terry Gross on NPR Fresh Air.
A founding member of the GRAMMY-winning, Newport Folk Festival-playing Carolina Chocolate Drops, Flemons lived in NYC until last year, when he made the move back to North Carolina. Here’s what others are saying about the new album ‘Prospect Hill,’ which features a guest spot from New Yorker Guy Davis:
“Exceptional.”
-Robin Denselow, The Guardian (UK), July 28, 2014
“Unforgettable.”
-Clive Davis, The Times (UK), July 25, 2014
“Flemons’ harmonica-heavy, foot-tapping folk makes for the perfect hot summer soundtrack.”
-Dacey Orr, Paste, June 2, 2014
“This is interracial hoedown music, irresistibly delivered with a wink and a strut, and it sounds unlike anything else on the market today.”
-John Morthland, Wondering Sound / eMusic, July 25, 2014
“Dom Flemons satisfied an old-time craving.”
-Chris Parton, CMT Edge, June 4, 2014
“A mix of traditional and original songs that explore different moods and strains of Americana… from both the head and the heart.”
-James Reed, Boston Globe, June 26, 2014
