April 5 2013 9:00PM -- doors at 8:30PM ••• 21 AND OVER $10 Whiskerman www.whiskerman.com/listen.html blues ghostfolk horse whispering soul decker. deckermusic.bandcamp.com/ psychedelic desert folk Kelly McFarling www.kellymcfarling.com/ Acoustic / Bluegrass / Folk Whiskerman Graham Patzner's solo work The youngest of three brothers and the son of two musicians, Graham Patzner didn't have much choice. Starting on piano at age five and then moving on to violin, trumpet and guitar, the Whiskerman singer and front-man has cultivated a unique sound that is hard to pinpoint. His voice ranges from smoky to soaring, while his songs span a wide array of moods and genres, yet always remain soulful. Behind him is a tight band that includes brother Lewis Patzner (Judgement Day, Devotionals) on cello, Will Lawrence on bass, Nick Cobbett on drums, and Charles Lloyd (Cash Pony) on guitar and sitar. Collectively they form Whiskerman, and they are quickly becoming a force in the San Francisco Bay Area. decker. Rising from the dust of a near-fatal rollover accident while on tour in California last summer, Decker has completed their fourth record in as many years and has holed up in their red rock home of Sedona, AZ to prepare for a February 2013 nationwide launch for the new album, Slider. "I wouldn't be surprised to learn Brandon Decker traded his soul at the crossroads for the ability to craft compelling album after compelling album." - Yab Yum Music & Arts "I feel that decker. does for folk what The White Stripes did for delta-blues... it's an excellent modernization of a genre." - Shane Hunt, Ampkicker.com Kelly McFarling Kelly McFarling is a wanderer of wilderness and cityscapes. She draws inspiration for her music from both. Since her first release Distractible Child (2010), Kelly McFarling has received praise from press outlets across the country (including a feature on CNN’s Music Monday). She also took home the grand prize at the 35th bi-annual Shoot-Out at legendary Eddie’s Attic, released an ambitious and business-savvy joint album, Conspire (2012), with fellow San Francisco songwriter Lia Rose, and she began performing as one-third of the old-time all-female trio Glittersnatch. Atlanta, GA raised her and gave her space to find her powerful voice in its church choirs and baseball stadiums, but it was San Francisco that gave her the encouragement and community to solidify her original sound. She has spent the past three years selling out shows in both her hometown and her adopted city (and many cities in-between) – a testament to the fact that her fresh spin on old-time music is resonant in any environment. Like McFarling herself, her music occupies a place between places. She pays homage to her southern roots using her signature combination of clawhammer and traditional banjo playing, while giving new life to old sounds. With her band (Jonathan Kirchner, bass; Andrew Laubacher, drums & Tim Marcus, pedal steel and guitars), she explores territory outside her clear influences of folk, old-time, bluegrass and country, creating a sound equally at home by a fireside or at a large festival. McFarlings stories are yours and her music stays with you. With plans to release her second full-length album (title-TBD) in early April, followed by a month-long tour and festival appearances with her band, Kelly McFarling’s horizons are wide-open.
