Dana Louise & the Glorious Birds visit WTJU, Oct 30
Dana Louise and the Glorious Birds will stop by WTJU‘s Lambeth Lounge for a visit this Sunday, October 30, at 12 (edt) for a live session out in the lounge. Rumor is Grammy nominated Trout Fishing In America might even share a tune or two, as both groups will be in the area for a private concert in the area later that afternoon. So come on out and enjoy both groups in this public forum, and add your applause to the broadcast!
During a solo journey to the Azores Islands in 2011, Dana Louise, a visual artist, taught herself to play guitar. The daughter of Ezra Idlet of the Grammy-nominated Trout Fishing in America, Dana forged the beginnings of her sound, practicing amidst the archipelago’s lava rocks and dragon trees. Back in the States, she began singing and songwriting professionally, touring regionally and internationally, and is currently touring her debut album with Trout Records.
Joined by the Glorious Birds — Adams Collins (vibraphone and 5-string banjo), and Ezra Idlet and Keith Grimwood (Trout Fishing in America/guitar, percussion and bass) — Dana brings her vibrant, melodic vocals and finger picking to a body of complex songs. Drawing from jazz and bluegrass, carrying a contemporary beat, the sound is roots-rooted flung-into-the-future folk. Dana Louise and the Glorious Birds work to leave their audiences glowing with the magic music can bring: genuine human connection.
