Music With Meaning 7

South Union Arts Madness

This Friday (and Sat.) get set for a gluttony of music, art and a wholesome hoedown at the South Union Arts Building. Friday night features the sounds of Hotel Brotherhood USA, Emily Jane Powers and In Minature. That's not all - there's more. Also taking part in the festivities - Crosshair Silkscreening and a group show by Young Endeavor. This night will be a folk-plosion of sweet lush noise. Want to know more about the artists? Of course.

Hotel Brotherhood USA - Acoustic, Folk, Soul-Blue. On their Myspace page they describe themselves as a small 2-stoplight town, winter and wine, swimming/fishing holes, freckles and moles. Take a listen - sounds like a deadpan description.

Crosshair Silkscreen - Click here - A blissful visual feast

Emily Jane Powers - Currently living in Chicago. During solo performances accompanied by partner-in-crime Chris Luxem and other various special guests who come, go, and come back again. Most of the time she sticks to a pretty standard folk line up with guitar, banjo, violin, harmonica, & minimal drumming. Other than that been playing violin with a variety of Chicago locals and old Ann Arbor friends. Been doing home recordings and releases. (via)

In Minature - Three people who feel very lucky to play music with each other. If they were tone-deaf they would play scrabble. That's how much they like each other. They have been writing and practicing together for about six months and are very excited to share the news of their new e.p. that their own personal engineer (and bass player) is mixing and it should be available soon.

Don't forget the daytime reading event at Mojoe's Hot House featuring some of the city's top writers. Brought to you by Fall of Autumn and of course Machine Media.
