The Lone Bellow's WNYC Soundcheck Session at The Greene Space

A couple of weeks ago Bobbie stumbled upon an announcement for a WNYC Soundcheck show at The Greene Space, featuring The Lone Bellow. Acting on our “get tickets first, make plans later” philosophy, she reserved four spots for us. NYC definitely falls within our four hour rule, and with the show being free there was just no way we could turn it down. So early this morning, with kids in tow (there may have been ice cream and pizza bribes), we hit the road. While we had a few snafus along the way, we still somehow managed to make it with a little bit of time to spare.

We were really not at all certain what to expect for this show, as it was billed as a 45 minute set with limited seating. Did that mean 200 people? More? Less? Were we going to have to stand in a crazy long line? Were there seats, or were our kids going to be staring at strangers’ backs?  As it turns out, we could have not been more pleased. 

We arrived to find a very small crowd waiting in the lobby. Here, we were happy to meet two fans, Mara and Chris, whom we’ve been in correspondence with online for quite a while. It was great to be able finally see a show with them! As we waited, some of the staff came around with paper and pencils, asking if we had questions for the band.  We jotted down a few before being ushered into the performance space, where we were very pleasantly surprised to find one incredibly small venue, seating probably fewer than 50 people.

While the set was indeed short- four songs total- it was interspersed with a few Q & A sessions. We did miss the energy from their regular shows, but it was really fun to learn new information from and about the band. All and all, we felt incredibly lucky to be there.

You can watch the entire performance here.

In Baeble, Don Saas writes so much truth about The Lone Bellow, including, "...the Lone Bellow have the ingredients for music's Philosopher's Stone: a sound that transcends generational lines, that transcends genre lines, and sound that transcends the aloof distance that sadly defines so much of modern music."

Ready, set, heal. So excited to hear my favorite #musicalmasterpieces belt out another soul stealing set. #musichallofwilliamsburg #thelonebellow

And can we take a moment to talk about the greatness of Mr Brian "Always Ready" Elmquist tonight? When he wasn't ripping through solos ranging from "Heaven Don't Call Me Home" to "Purple Rain" looking like a cross between Carl Perkins and Johnny B Goode, the man was just simply a force to be reckoned with. I'd never had the pleasure of standing in front of Brian before, and man.... my ears are ringing for good reason. #thelonebellow #brianelmquist #musichallofwilliamsburg

He's A Man!

We are on our way back to Boston after catching The Lone Bellow at Underground Arts in Philly last night.  Our hearts are full, and we are especially grateful that we will be seeing them for a small show in New York next week, before we enter what we fear to be a very sad and long dry spell.

Before we talk about last night’s show, though, we feel compelled to say a little word or two about audiences and opening acts. Take this as a little PSA if you will.  We know that opening acts can be tricky. They are often not very well known musicians, and more often than not, they are not the act that brought in the crowd.  We will even go so far as to say that it is a rare occasion that we leave shows feeling excited about the opening act. Of course, sometimes you get lucky and discover something incredible (*cough* The Lone Bellow *cough*), and for this reason alone we think it is always worth showing up for the opener.  OK, and if we’re being completely honest, we like being close to the stage and there’s usually no way to do that without arriving early. But here’s the thing, and I suppose there’s no delicate way to say this, but please, PLEASE, be respectful during the opening act. We are often astounded and embarrassed by how many people continue on loudly with their conversations, seemingly oblivious to the fact that there is a performance taking place right before their eyes. We, admittedly, are introverts and nothing is more terrifying to us than the idea of having to be in front of a group of people we don’t know, especially with so much exposed vulnerability. We can only imagine how incredibly difficult it is to go on stage night after night, only to be largely ignored by the audience.  You know your mama taught you better!

* stepping off our soapbox*

Hey, have we mentioned that we love seeing The Lone Bellow live? We feel incredibly grateful that we were able to make this trip to Philadelphia to see them, and catch up with a dear friend, who after seeing them is now also a fan.  Perhaps there will come a time when we are less impressed by this band (doubtful), but  at this point the number of shows we have each seen is in the teens, and we continue to be nothing but blown away.

Last night the band took the stage shortly after 10pm, and kept going for the next 2 hours. We love that they do not stick to the same exact set list, meaning that every show feels like a new one.  We got a good blend of songs from both albums, as well as a few surprises.  And, as always, the feelings were coming on strong last night. We love how this band moves us in so many ways. In particular, we are finding that “Marietta” about wrecks us.  We’re not sure what it is about hearing that song live that brings us to tears, but just add it to the list of inexplicable moments that  always seem to happen at one of their shows. 

They were definitely having a good time with one another last night, as demonstrated by busting into Boyz II Men; making references to “Rocky;” Zach sharing personal stories about kissing a girl as a lad while wearing his Champion shorts; and a sweet but funny story about acquiring his grandfather’s guitar.

Picture
Brian is playing the guitar given to Zach by his grandfather. I guess it had been left out in the barn with the empty feed sacks, but Zach was able to get it working again.

But one of the funniest moments came when Jason Pipkin surprised the band by breaking into the music from “The Man from Snowy River.”  Brian “Eye of the Tiger” Elmquist (trust us, he really likes playing that song!) told Jason that hearing that song in that moment was “the best thing that has ever happened to me on stage!”  Incidentally, Zach is hoping we can “make it a popular movie” by hash tagging it as much as possible.
We were so appreciative that the band was kind enough to stick around and chat with fans after the show. They are always so generous with their time.  We wish we could be in New York tonight and tomorrow, but our families’ schedules require us to get back to reality.  But we’ll be at the  Soundcheck session at the Greene Space this Monday afternoon, and in the meantime will be keeping an eye out for any new shows added to their tour schedule.


p.s. The Man From Snowy River is streaming on Netflix...

A while back, Brian posted a childhood photo of himself on Instagram. We thought it would be fun to share it here, because he was a wicked cute little boy! So now we've seen how adorable both Zach and Brian were as youngsters, and we have no doubt Kanene would hold her own in the cute category!

Oh, festivals!

3/18/2015

Here's a bit of a confession, one that may raise skepticism at our claims to be huge lovers of music. We say this knowing that some of you, dear readers, will agree with us, but for many of you, our proclamations of going to ridiculous lengths to see The Lone Bellow will undoubtedly be called into question. Ready for it? We do not like music festivals. We understand why music festivals happen- what better way for musicians to be exposed to people who may not otherwise hear their music?  Although we accept that this is just part of life for most touring musicians, we just cannot get on board with them. 

I spent the better part of my youth going to every music festival I could, so I am somewhat surprised that I have come to find them tedious. It's true that nothing makes me feel older than having such a curmudgeonly attitude about festivals (well, that and complaining about shows that don't start until 10:00 p.m.), but the more concerts we go to at smaller venues, the more difficult it becomes to enjoy what we now view as the day or days long chore of getting through one more band that we may or may not be interested in.  And worse, loving a band, but knowing you will only get to see them perform for an hour, at most, can feel like agony. And that's to say nothing of the crowds and heat! 

So much of what we love about going to concerts is the shared experience with other members of the audience. The Lone Bellow excels at connecting with the audience, and there is just no way to replicate that at a big music festival. Admittedly, every time we see an ad for Boston Calling, there's a little pang of guilt; a tiny little flicker of maybe we should reconsider going... 

As true fans, we are really happy that the band is able to do so many festivals, meaning more and more people will be discovering how amazing they are. And we are not necessarily saying we will never go to a music festival, as we've certainly done crazier. (Last summer I felt like I HAD TO see them so I did make the trek to the Green River Festival, leaving right after their set.) We just prefer the type of Lone Bellow show we have come to love: smaller venues, a long set list, lots of banter, infectious energy, spontaneity, and all of the feelings! We're keeping our fingers crossed that this summer there will be a decent amount of headlining shows near us, and if not, well, we'll figure out a way to see them. Perhaps we can buy airfare with all of the money we don't spend on festivals.

Mike Gerry at OpenEars Music writes, "We just experienced again what we already knew, this is one great band to see live. It doesn’t matter who takes lead vocals, the passion always shines through. It’s music that just makes you want to hug those around you, and share the moment in."

Recap of The Lone Bellow at Terminal West in Atlanta

3/13/2015

1 Comment

 
Picture
One of my oldest friends – since we were 14 – lives in Atlanta. Back in November, we had planned to take a long weekend trip together, just the two of us, but due to unfortunate circumstances, that trip did not happen. It’s been well over a year since I’ve seen her, so as I was looking over the tour schedule of The Lone Bellow, I realized I could combine seeing my dear friend with seeing the Lone Bellow, and perhaps recruit another fan for the band. My amazing partner – seriously, he is the best – was able to arrange his work schedule to hang out with our kid so I could leave town.

And so I was fortunate enough to be in the audience for the show at Terminal West Wednesday night.

The band took the stage at about 10 minutes after 10pm, and played for just over 2 hours.

The first several songs were in the same order as Then Came The Morning, and for “Fake Roses,” Zach mentioned that he doesn’t usually talk before singing that song, but that the woman who inspired the song was in the audience, and he dedicated it to her.

Then they played “You Never Need Nobody” and “The One You Should’ve Let Go” from their first album, and there was a lot of encouragement to sing along, which the crowd was more than happy to do. And the rare person who wasn’t totally into the show at that point didn’t have a choice but to become completely enraptured when they played “Heaven Don’t Call Me Home.”

Then they did a total 180 and slowed things way down with Kanene’s “Slip Sliding Away,” which is always so powerful.

Before singing “Watch Over Us,” Zach mentioned the many family members in the audience, including the parents, aunts and uncles that took him outdoors and taught him to wonder and marvel at the world, the ones who placed his hand on the neck of a horse and told him to feel the power in the animal. And Brian’s mom was also in the audience. He said the song was dedicated to all of them.  Brian, as always, “killed it,” as they like to say during that song in Boston! His emotions were strongly evident as he concluded the song.

When Zach mentioned that Uncle Dale was in the audience, it was something of a relief to see that we are not the only people obsessed with Uncle Dale, as the audience broke into applause and cheers for him. It is clear that people love Uncle Dale and the stories he inspires. Zach ended up telling three Uncle Dale stories, two of which were already familiar to us. He told about the school bus sized catfish in Lake Allatoona. “Seriously,” he said, “go swimming out there – tonight - and see if you aren’t afraid.”

Picture

He told the story someone recently left in the comments of our post about Uncle Dale. Uncle Dale’s wife does motocross, and a while back she was doing something called a “superman,” which involves going “into the ether, where no one should be without a plane.” Well, she crashed and broke her back. In the hospital, she was put into a medically induced coma, and while this was happening, Uncle Dale went to Eddie’s Trick Shop and bought a white beard and hair, and “old man skin.” When his wife came out of the coma, he told her he had been waiting 40 years for her to wake up. According to the comment on our site, she threw up at his feet, but Zach left that part out last night. 

He also told a story that he said he had forgotten about, but that Uncle Dale had just reminded him of back stage. Uncle Dale, it seems, bought Zach’s grandma a peacock named Prince for Mother’s Day. Prince didn’t like living on his grandma’s farm, and flew over to the farm next door. The story sort of takes a couple of turns from there, but fortunately Zach’s dad recorded this part of the show and shared it with us –
The rest of the set contained many of the songs on their two albums, and included a performance of “To the Woods” with opening singer Odessa on violin, then they were joined by the rest of Odessa’s band to perform her song “Hummed Out.”
Picture
For the first song of the encore, Zach dedicated “Fire Red Horse” to Uncle Dale, as he is the inspiration for that song. It seems rare that the band performs that song, so it felt very special to hear them play it while Uncle Dale was in the audience.

Then they played “Strawberry Wine,” which the audience very much enjoyed. After they finished, Brian recognized someone that seems to have been an old high school friend in the audience, and then he ended up dedicating Edwin McCain’s “I’ll Be” to him. It was quite hilarious, and the audience enjoyed singing along. Then someone from the audience said something about “Bombs over Baghdad,” and Jason busted out with a few bars on the keyboard, but Zach quickly shut it down!

They finished the evening with “Teach Me To Know,” again inviting the audience to participate.

It was another typically passionate, engaging The Lone Bellow show that creates an intimate bond with the audience. It is not surprising, I am sure, that my friend thought The Lone Bellow was amazing, and plans to see them again the next time they are in town. Understandably, she was a bit skeptical at first about my obsession with the band, but she was absolutely won over. Though I honestly can not imagine anyone going to one of their shows, and, even if they don’t particularly like the music, not having a good time at the very least.

Were you there? What did I leave out?

I first saw The Lone Bellow in Boston, MA with my best friend. We were like giddy teenagers that night as we biked through a pink sunset to the venue and later met the band. // The second time I saw this band was due to pure chance/luck/destiny that they happened to be in London, England while I was passing through during my backpacking trip. Hands down the best performance I've seen as it was in the basement of an old British pub called "The Slaughtered Lamb." // The third time I saw them was tonight in Nashville. I never thought I'd be in any of those cities; I never thought I'd be enjoying my favorite band as well. It's funny, yet amazingly beautiful how music becomes and sometimes fuels pieces of your story. #thelonebellow #storygram #vscocam #makemoments

Michelle Eigenheer of Lousville.com had this to say about the show at Headliner's, "The band sounds amazing live, the quality of sound and song surpassing their recordings. Each member is versatile, playing multiple instruments through the set and each one sings, creating an amazing vocal medley. Their energy is engaging, making it hard to look away even for a second."

The Lone Bellow Fan Forum

Back in August, when we first set up this site, we included a forum page. We hoped to see conversation take place there about The Lone Bellow, their music, their shows, and about the experience of being a fan. Our site was pretty slow going for a long time, and the forum never really took off, so we removed it because it felt a bit like dead weight. We also wondered if the days of the forum as a means of communication were over.

But we are finding the daily readership of Tree To Grow is growing every day, and we would like to bring back that community space for people to talk about all things Lone Bellow, and give it another try. Maybe it won't work, but we hope those of you who read this site regularly will sign up as a user (if you haven't already) and get some conversations started! So head over there and let us know what's on your mind. If you are going to shows, tell us about it. If there is one particular lyric from a song that you can't stop thinking about, tell us why it is so meaningful to you. Whatever you want to say, we would love to hear it.

    Who We Are

    We are Abra and Bobbie, two friends living in Boston who go to a lot of concerts together. We saw The Lone Bellow, having never heard of them, and could not believe our good fortune in discovering such talent. We now try to go by the "Four-Hour-Rule", meaning if we can get to a show within four hours, we will be there, hopefully right up front.
