whiteymuseum Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 (edited) Cincinnati Records Presents Wednesday February 7 9pm -- $10 PO'GIRL (members of The Be Good Tanyas) plus special guest LISA WINN and Robyn Dell'Unto Casbah 306 King St W 905-521-4441 http://casbahlounge.ca Vagabond lullabies, beat-poetry, inner-city blues. These urban minstrels pen harmony drenched melodies to warm your toes. Take the bellow of the blues, the wail of a gypsy fiddle, punk-rock street poetry, a cajun love song, and depression-era jazz, mix it all up and add some old R&B. This music is rich with musical influences, sweetness, grit and soul. In a brief two years this group of hard-travelling musical iconoclasts has released two albums to critical acclaim while touring relentlessly, criss-crossing the United States and Canada in their sturdy old van "shaggy". They wowed audiences across the UK on two tours, and won over festival goers everywhere with their powerful, passionate, and spirited live show.Their fantastically successful recent performances in Lugano, Switzerland at the celebrated "Blues to Bop" festival were a strong incentice for Po' Girl to do more European tours in the near future The current line-up of Po'Girl includes Trish Klein of the Be Good Tanyas, and Allison Russell, (who co-founded the band together after discovering their shared passion for creaky prohibition-era jazz and blues) alongside virtuoso fiddler Diona Davies and multi-instrumentalist Awna Teixeira. These four ladies all sing, write and perform on a stunning array of instruments including banjo, clarinet, slide guitar, piano, accordian, wash-tub bass, harmonica, penny-whistle, mandolin, violin, and much more. Backing them on drums is one of Vancouvers top musical talents John Raham from groups such as Kinnie Starr, Millenium Project, Green Room, and Mimosa, John Raham brings deep, funky, creative and soulful grooves to the sound of Po' Girl. Currently the band is working on recording their third album to be released by Nettwerk records in 2006.

whiteymuseum Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I'm excited for this too.Last time the girls played Casbah it was one of those "best shows nobody had a chance to see". The buzz is right on, so I think it'll be different this time.Not to mention a solo/originals Lisa Winn set is a rare occurrence these days that's also a must see.
