Awake arise, lady maisery, jimmy aldridge & sid goldsmith.

Friday 31 May 2024

This event has passed.

Lady Maisery and Jimmy Aldridge & Sid Goldsmith invite you into their next alchemic collaboration!

Having bewitched and galvanised audiences with their much-loved wintertime tour ‘Awake Arise’, “two of the most engaging and inventive acts on the current folk scene” (FRUK) return with a brand new show.

With more folk songs historically collected about the month of May than any other time apart from Christmas, the charismatic 5-piece embark on a journey to mark this season in song. There is of course morris, mayday, migration and magic. There is also ritual, rave and cider with Rosie. There are countryside hares and city foxes. There is the fear for our warming planet alongside the promise of ripening fruit. There is class struggle, cuckoo calls, beaches and barbecues. As with their celebrated winter work, the Awake Arise show is an essential incantation to the summertime and all that it holds.

Award winning trio Lady Maisery (Hannah James, Rowan Rheingans and Hazel Askew) have for nearly a decade produced “some of the most exquisite, thrilling vocal harmony work in the English folk scene” (The Guardian).

The beguiling musical partnership of Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith complete the powerful line-up, bringing the outstanding vocals, sensitive instrumentation and powerful social conscience that has won them widespread critical acclaim.

Awake Arise:

Award winning trio Lady Maisery (Hannah James, Rowan Rheingans and Hazel Askew) have for nearly a decade produced ‘ some of the most exquisite, thrilling vocal harmony work in the English folk scene ’ – The Guardian.

Jimmy Aldridge and Kit Hawes complete the powerful line-up, bringing the outstanding vocals, sensitive instrumentation and powerful social conscience that has won them widespread critical acclaim. ‘ Rousing stuff ’ – The Observer.

This year Awake Arise will have a slightly different line-up. Sid Goldsmith is on tour in the US with a Wise Children/National Theatre production of Wuthering Heights. He will be greatly missed but will be ably replaced by Kit Hawes. Kit is a wonderful musician and great friend who has slotted straight into the band. He is best known for his duo with Aaron Catlow and the John Martyn Project, but has also played with Seth Lakeman, Sheelanagig and many more.

The evening will feature traditional songs, folk carols, spoken word and newly written music to galvanise and brighten this darkest season. True to the reputations of both acts as out-spoken voices on the folk scene, this collection is also a rallying cry to embrace the power of collective endeavour as vital support during times of hardship and loneliness. In this most uncertain of winters, Awake Arise is more than just a great night out; these are essential songs which remind us who we are and why we matter to each other.

Awake, Arise : A Christmas Show For Our Times ,  is an unmissable one-off collaboration.  Five of the English folk scene’s most inventive artists have announced a special tour, celebrating the riches of varied winter traditions,  from the British Isles and further afield and reflecting on the hope and resilience in music and song, that can bring joy to us all in the darkest season.

Award-winning folk trio Lady Maisery (Hannah James, Rowan Rheingans and Hazel Askew) have for nearly a decade produced  “ some of the most exquisite, thrilling vocal harmony work in the English folk scene” (The Guardian).   Whether unearthing a feminist twist hidden in a traditional tale, delivering a poignant anti-war ballad, or showcasing their immense multi-instrumental talents in original compositions that draw on a myriad of musical influences, Lady Maisery are skilful explorers of the power, beauty and vitality of song.

The beguiling musical partnership of Jimmy Aldridge and Sid Goldsmith complete the powerful line-up, bringing the outstanding vocals, sensitive instrumentation and powerful social conscience that has won them widespread critical acclaim.

“Making common cause between antique songs and present circumstances is one of the grails of modern folk, one this young duo pull off impressively… Rousing stuff.” (The Observer).

[live] parachute – wide awake tour @ the fonda theatre, hollywood, ca.

As an avid concertgoer and self proclaimed music junkie, few things make me happier than seeing a band whose music translates perfectly from studio to stage, and Parachute is a band who does that perfectly.  The pop rock band from Charlottesville, Virginia recently released their fourth studio album  Wide Awake on March 11, 2016 and started a tour in support of the album soon after.

I discovered Parachute when I was in high school, after the release of their album  Losing Sleep . I can still remember listening to “The Mess I Made” for the first time and immediately falling in love with Will Anderson’s voice.  However, I had never gotten the chance to see them live until the Wide Awake Tour made a stop in Los Angeles.

In true LA fashion I showed up to the show late, walking in minutes before Parachute took the stage.  The lights dimmed and the crowd erupted in cheers, and I knew I was in for an amazing night.  Let me just say that if you plan on going to see Parachute in concert you better make sure you’re wearing your dancing shoes.  The band took the stage and started their set with  Wide Awake ‘s opening track, “Without You” and the energy from both the band and the audience was incredible.

Fast forward to the band playing the song “Can’t Help” off of their album  Overnight , featuring a killer saxophone solo by Kit French.  Seriously, that man can play.  One of my favorite moments by far happened a few songs later when they played “American Secrets” and I got to see my friends’ reactions to seeing the song played live for the first time.

The dancing continued as the night went on, but the mood did change for a moment when Parachute played an acoustic version of “Forever And Always” a.k.a one of the saddest songs ever .  It’s hard to hear the lyrics “ She finishes the vows but the beeps are getting too slow, his voice is almost too low as he says, ‘I love you forever, forever and always. Please just remember even if I’m not there, I’ll always love you, forever and always .'” and not get emotional.  They followed that emotional roller coaster of a song with “Lonely With Me” which is easily one of my favorite songs off their latest album.  It’s such a fun, upbeat song and while most bands use confetti cannons during their songs, Parachute decided to release bubbles during this song.  Bubbles.  In that moment we all became 12 year-olds again because bubbles just have that effect on people.

The band came back out on stage for an encore, playing “Kiss Me Slowly” which is probably one of their most popular songs.  They closed their set with another one of my personal favorites, “New Orleans” (and more bubbles), at which point my Taylor Swift dance moves were in full effect.

Although the set list was missing a few of my personal favorites, it was the perfect combination of new and old songs.  I can honestly say that Parachute’s live show lived up to all my expectations and I can’t wait until they make another stop in Los Angeles.
