Jenny and Jud Make Beautiful Music Together!
Jenny Reynolds - Boston's gift to Austin - is a busy woman these days - teaching guitar and playing gigs like the one on Wednesday at Threadgill's Old No. 1 on North Lamar. Scrappy Jud Newcomb - when he is not busy with the Resentments, Ian McLagan's Bump Band, the Imperial Golden Crown Harmonizers, or any of the other bands who rely on his skill with the guitar - is playing quite a few gigs with Jenny. Kinda like the David Rawlings to her Gillian Welch. And, yes, they do a Gillian cover plus lots of originals by Jenny and some by Jud.
Like her pal Kerry Polk, Jenny has been working on a bunch of new songs - some of which may be heard either at her Monday (September 18) gig at MOMO's CLUB (8 pm) with Jud, Glenn Fukanaga on bass, a drummer whose name escapes me right now, and maybe even Eric Hokkanen (who will definitely be joining the band for her September 29 show at city hall (live from the plaza - just one week after Natalie Zoe takes that stage). Jenny moved to Austin after racking up honors at Kerrville in 2003 after having quite a career in Boston, and was rated as the "best new local act" in 2005 by the Chronicle's Jim Caligiuri. This Renaissance Woman is also a Red Sox fan!!!!!
In a bit of other news, Cowboy Curtis - a Minneapolis band that sounds a lot like the Jayhawks - has just released its brand new CD "ThirtyFive Summers," and you can check out the band at www.cowboycurtis.com or www.myspace.com/cowboycurtismusic . The band features Nate and Neal Perbix on drums and guitars, respectively, Jake Hanson also on guitar (Jake and Neal are the principal songwriters), and MY NEPHEW Ethan Sutton on bass. Chris Riemenschneider of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune has described the band as “...sounding like an emo band playing over ‘Reckoning’-era R.E.M.” Their debut CD, "Observations/Assumptions," is also available. For the record, new-dad Ethan also plays cello in the Minneapolis-based (and award winning) "Spaghetti Western String Co.," a quartet that writes and performs cinematic style music with acoustic instrumentation. Their music combines Classical, Bluegrass, Jazz and European folksong, ultimately producing a unique sound that is gentle yet chaotic at the same time. Check them out at www.myspace.com/spaghettiwestern or at www.spaghettiwesternmusic.com .
PS -- And let me know what you think of both groups!
