The Spring Standards
Sat, 18 Feb 2012 20:00:00 +0000

Skyflight Productions presents The Spring Standards on Saturday February 18, 2012 at the Albert S. George Youth Center at Barnesville Memorial Park in Barnesville, OH. The Spring Standards are an energetic force of three-part harmony circling over a rock n' roll sound with an old country aftertaste. From small towns to big cities, they explode on stage with spirit, spontaneity, and a style all their own. They are, in no particular order: James Cleare, James Smith and Heather Robb. Each member of the band is a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, and they use their strengths as a trio to create a sound that listeners might expect from a band twice their size. With an emphasis on three-part harmony and a variety of instrumental switching, their range and energy make each live show a unique event. In fact, the band's performance set-up is as distinctive as their sound: They take a drum kit and break it up among the three of them, and then they set up along the front of the stage. So, whoever is playing bass (James and James alternate between bass and guitar,) is also stepping on a kick drum and whoever is playing guitar is also stepping on the high hat (and sometimes playing harmonica simultaneously). Heather, in the middle, switches between melodica, keys, glockenspiel and snare drum, often playing several at a time. And even with all this going on, their harmonies are astounding. They released their debut LP in 2010 called Would Things Be Different (produced by Bryce Goggin - Pavement, Akron/Family, etc), and their debut EP released in late 2008 was produced by Rhett Miller of the Old97s. They've toured all around the country with the likes of Squeeze, The Old 97s, Marc Broussard, The Clarks, Stephen Kellogg & The Sixers, Ha Ha Tonka and Meg + Dia. They've also appeared on Mountain Stage/NPR, Conan O'Brien, and have been featured on WRXP's Holiday Extravaganza.

The Vespers
Fri, 01 Jun 2012 19:00:00 +0000

Skyflight Productions presents an evening with The Vespers from Nashville, TN on Friday June 1, 2012 at the Albert S. George Youth Center in Barnesville, OH. It’s two sisters, two brothers, four friends, 10 instruments, one fun little folk band. However you do the math, The Vespers are a force to be reckoned with. In the spring of 2010, the newly formed group released their debut album, Tell Your Mama, which has been received greatly by critics and fans alike. The indie release even managed to sneak on to a few top 20 lists before the year’s end. The critics have hailed the band as “magnificently unforgettable” and “fresh and infectious”. “I was just about knocked off my stool”, exclaimed Angie Santiago of No Depression. This perfect union of sound has been in the making for years though, just never before as the fearsome foursome as it stands today. Callie and Phoebe Cryar have been honing their craft for many years having been brought up in a musical family and having the luxury of being born and raised in a city ripe with undiluted talent. Their vocal exchange and pure harmonies have been described as “two angels”, “ghostly and haunting”, “honey sweet” and “serene”. Excepting no side note to their vocal prowess is their expansive instrumental skills. The sisters travel with guitar, ukulele, banjo, electric bass, accordion, and mandolin in tow knowing full well how to wield each one effectively. As a duo, Phoebe and Callie recognized that all was not complete in the band they had dubbed The Vespers. A bottom end was to be desired. So as the story goes, at a campfire jam one night, the girls met musical eyes with two long-locked boys who were doing their own thing around Music City. Taylor and Bruno Jones knew instantly that campfire jam was a fateful event. After a single show combining Taylor’s percussion and Bruno’s acoustic bass to the sisters sound, the band was set. The boys’ “tight and creative rhythm section” is grounded in the earthy volume of the gritty southern rock and lowdown blues that they were gratefully exposed to at a young age. That raw approach to the music and to the live stage show was the missing ingredient to The Vespers’ overall approach that is said to be “reminiscent of hearing the words ‘I love you’ for the first time.” In 2011, The Vespers will pack up their unique take on music in their beloved old green van and travel across the country. Four Nashville natives setting out to share what they love. As all will concur that have had the privilege to hear them perform, this is the band to watch and, most certainly, to listen for.
