UpNorth Music Concert: In The Neighborhood Singer-Songwriter Festival at Norwood Village Green
06/16/08
The annual singer-songwriter festival at the Norwood Village Green Concert Series featured three performers from the UpNorth Music project: folk songs by Celia Evans of Paul Smiths NY, eclectic acoustic tunes by father-son duo John & Orion Kribs from Corinth NY, and folk and blues by father-daughter duo Jim & Gwen Tracy from Old Forge. We select highlights from their original compositions in live performance.
Upnorth Music opened its concert series with a program in the Gulick Theater at St. Lawrence University in Canton NY. Featured performers participated in NCPR's year-long studio outreach project. They were Adrenaline Hayride, a bluegrass band from Saratoga Springs, The Jonathan Lorentz Quartet, a jazz ensemble from Queensbury, singer/songwriter Meredith Luce from Ottawa, and the celtic family band The Fraser Clan from Harrisville.

This classic country act is the house band for the Riding Hy Ranch in Warrensburg, performing two or three times each week year-round. Like a lot of bands we met in out travels, these guys play together not just for the love of music, but for the strong friendships that they have with each other.

Don’t be mislead by the name: this is NOT a heavy metal band. Friends Alex Hyatt and Liam Irwin are the songwriting heart of this band that describes its sound as alternative acoustic pop/rock. Sound engineer Joel Hurd was pretty interested in the classic Fender Rhodes keyboard they brought to their session.

Ska, a rhythmically up-tempo precursor to reggae, is a strong musical influence on this band’s sound. Like most of the bands we’ve recorded, though, their songs reflect other musical interests. Shu toured the Northeast extensively in the 1990s, mostly performing for university crowds.

When he was 15, the band Light House inspired Dan to become a musician. Since then, he has learned to play the guitar and written a lot of songs in the hope that listeners will relate to them in the way that he relates to some of his favorite bands’ messages.

Folk musician Gary Moon sees his hometown Lake George as more of an authentic Adirondack community than a tourist haven. Not afraid to comment on political issues in his songs, Gary hopes that he will play a positive role in protecting what is best about his community. He believes this will happen not just from singing, but from active engagement in community affairs.
