M Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 from the slip ... Surprise Me Mr. Davis is: Brad Barr [guitar, vocals] Andrew Barr [drums] Marc Friedman [bass] Nathan Moore [guitar, vocals] Last winter, when poet/songwriter Nathan Moore was visiting The Slip in Boston, the largest snowstorm since '78 hit. They were trapped. With little more than food from the convenience store on the corner to survive on, they began playing with the new recording software on The Slip's home computer. "Surprise me," became a catch phrase that week whenever someone would get that glimmer in the eye and disappear into the headphones. If anyone asked, "What should I play?," the inevitable answer was "Surprise me!" Toward the end of the week, Nathan received a message on his cell phone from the enchanting voice of a sweet older lady with a thick accent saying, "Oh, you're having fun with that recording! Well I guess you guys are snowed in, I bet you're drinking a lot of hot chocolate....have a nice day." It was a wrong number. She had called someone named Mister Davis. The result of those snowed-in days of friendship and artistic collaboration was the album Surprise Me Mr. Davis. This will be the ensemble's first tour. Songwriter and poet extraordinaire Leslie Helpert (aka Serpentfly) will join them, appearing as the opening act as well as contributing her exquisite voice and kinetic stage antics throughout each evening.
