Cortney Tidwell
Power Pop Spectacular
Possessing a beautiful voice and an ethereal melodic sense that suggests a freak folk variation on Mazzy Star or This Mortal Coil, singer and songwriter Cortney Tidwell was born into a family of musicians, but in her early life this heritage seemed as much a curse as a blessing. Tidwell was born in Nashville, TN, where her grandfather had been a successful recording artist and a guest on the Grand Ol’ Opry, her father was a veteran A&R man, her mother had landed several singles on the country charts in the 1970s, and their circle of friends included the likes of Townes Van Zandt and Jack Clement. However, in the mid-’70s Tidwell’s mother wad diagnosed with manic depression, and her parents split up as her mother sunk deeper and deeper into depression, only to die alone in 1999 at the age of 49. As a child, Tidwell would play piano to escape the madness surrounding her, but with time she came to associate music with the pain of her childhood and gave up playing for many years. However, around the time of her mother’s passing (which coincided with the suicide of a close friend), Tidwell returned to songwriting to make sense of her feelings, and after singing in a cover band and forming a punk combo with a friend, she began recording her own songs using a makeshift home studio, playing all the instruments herself. In time, Tidwell began playing her material in public, and while some audiences were nonplussed with her songs, she soon made friends and fans of some of Nashville’s most acclaimed musicians, including members of Lambchop and Hands Off Cuba. In the spring of 2005, Tidwell released her first record, a self-titled six-song EP released through the budding Nashville label Sissy Bragg Records.

Long standing, Nashville-based music pioneers Lambchop are announcing a new record and a tour for early 2012. The new album Mr. M will be the first new material since 2008's Oh (Ohio) and from what can be gathered will turn out to be one of Lambchop's best, ever.
The group's mastermind Kurt Wagner had taken a complete break from making music after the death of a close friend and musical collaborator, and instead focused on his original talents as a painter for the years to come and created a large series of small portraits of Southern debutantes called Beautillion Millitaire 2000 instead. It was while painting these, that Wagner pointed out that '... I felt Lambchop had at least one more good record in us'.
This record will be released via City Slang early in 2012. It will be the band's 10th regular studio album, adding to a career that spans over 18 years and has seen them go on to sell more than a million records. Further information about the new album will be available from Lambchop.net, City Slang and Konzertagentur Berthold Seliger in the coming weeks.

Die Herren aus Nashville, Tennessee gelten vielen als Ausnahmemusiker. Merkt man das vielleicht daran, dass sie sich Inspiration für Texte schon mal aus dem Telefonbuch holen?
Wie dem auch sei, Kurt Wagners tiefe, zuweilen etwas neurotische Stimme passt gleichermaßen perfekt zu leichter Klavier-, Gitarren- oder kompletter Bandbegleitung.
Americana und Roots Rock - mit Blick über den Tellerrand! Dafür sorgt eine mehr oder weniger stabile Gruppierung von über einem dutzend Musikern. Es wartet ein besonderer Konzertabend.
