Miss Tess & the Bon Ton Parade / Over A Cardboard Sea

Hilly Town — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 19:38:53 +0000

Who Miss Tess & the Bon Ton Parade / Over A Cardboard Sea When Saturday, October 2, 2010 8:00pm - $12 - All Ages Where One Longfellow Square (map) 181 State St Portland, ME, USA 04101 Other InfoMiss Tess is a young, Boston-based songwriter, whose “Modern Vintage” sound bridges eras and genres. True to the tradition, her vocals can soar or caress as she strums and picks her way through an array of styles, from ragtime, to blues; country, to swing. Tess writes songs with the folk sensibilities of a troubadour that engage roots-devotees and newcomers alike. A typical set conjures a cast of dreamers and lovers, down on their luck and charming their ways in and out of trouble, with familiar faces mingling in the crowd, courtesy of folks like Bessie Smith and Tom Waits—perpetual muses to her style. OVER A CARDBOARD SEA is a 4 to 9-piece nostalgia act from Portland, Maine that plays American popular song from the golden age of Tin Pan Alley (1890-1939). Comic songs, novelty tunes, and tear-jerkers from the era of wax cylinder recording come to life when this ukulele-led line-up takes the stage! It’s a wow! It’s gigantic! It’s a real humdinger! Four-part harmonies and bad jokes make this group of ragtime rascals a must-see! www.misstessmusic.com www.myspace.com/sailingoveracardboardsea
