Bar italia – Nurse!
Hometown: London
Album: Tracy Denim was released on May 19
Review Snippet: Despite this reticence, the London trio now seem to have their sights set on making their reintroduction with ‘Tracey Denim’. Recorded and produced by the band themselves with mixing from Marta Salogni (Björk, Black Midi, M.I.A.), their third album should be enough to shift to one side those hasty (albeit somewhat justified) comparisons to The Cure and Joy Division, ensuring that Bar Italia make a lasting impression that’s all of their own making.

Danielle Ponder – Roll The Credits
Hometown: Rochester, NY
Album: From the forthcoming album “Some Of Us Are Brave” out September 16 on Future Classic.
Review Snippet: With this album, Ponder crafts compelling messages that reveal her innermost thoughts about courageously moving forward, often in powerful yet hushed tones that grow in intensity. It’s the emancipation of Danielle Ponder but, in addition, she makes sure that we understand she’s raising the flag on behalf of everyone who has ever been oppressed. Here’s part of the opening incantation from the title cut: “All we want is to be ourselves / And shine our light with no problems / We don’t want problems.” Her march to freedom continues with the determined: “So long all my fears / I’m ready for the day / If I lose some then I’ve lost them / What more can I say.” With “Someone Like You,” she’s not afraid to reveal vulnerabilities when she passionately longs for a close, intimate relationship: “Someone tell me what I got to do / Who I got to call / Which god I got to pray to.” The following song, “Only the Lonely,” displays resolve and strength when she adamantly declares: “Love is lost and I must walk away.” She confesses that she’s sinking even lower on “Thoughts,” by announcing: “I ain’t quite where I used to be / Don’t know where I am going.” Her style, at times powered by church organ and gospel choir and inspired by religious proclamations, brings everything to its final resting point with these last words: “Fight on for truth.”

Andy Frasco and the U.N. – You Do You
Hometown: Los Angeles
Album: L’Optimist out August 11 on Fun Machine)
Review Snippet: Andy Frasco & The U.N. are known for their mind-blowing frenetic energy and entertaining stage shenanigans. Seeing either of these two bands is a compelling reason to come to the Baltimore Soundstage – but both bands performing on the same bill make this show a must for any music lover! We know that whenever Andy Frasco & The U.N. or Twiddle are in town, we can expect an enjoyable, unscripted, and memorable night of soul-smiling musical moments.

Patterson Barrett – I’m Pretending (with Buddy Miller)
Hometown: Austin
Album: From the album “I Just Can’t Call it Quits”.
Review Snippet: in the band Partners in Crime with Julie and Buddy Miller. One would be hard-pressed to find a more affable or good-natured artist and entertainer than Patterson Barrett. Always a reliable support player — his credits include work with Jerry Jeff Walker, Buddy and Julie Miller, Chuck Berry, Nancy Griffith, Deborah Holland — he can also claim a captivating string of albums recorded under his aegis.
