FEATURES

Meiko

  • There are those few special times when you find an artist who you know has the talent, longevity, and spirit that you will be talking about them ten, twenty years from now. It is more of a treat when you can meet them at the infancy of their career. Meiko is that rare gem, who, if I was a gambler, would put all my chips in for. Why?

Odetta - In Remembrance

  • Odetta is "Queen of American Folk Music" and much, much more. She has been playing for over fifty years. In going through each decade of Odetta's career one is struck by the high points. They're all high. Odetta was active during the Civil Rights Movement and continues to be active today.

Schuyler Fisk

  • "I certainly have a growing list of musicians I'd love to work with, but to pick just one would be rough."

INTERVIEWS

Mr. Gnome

  • FEMMUSIC has long been a fan of two-piece bands from Mr. Airplane Man, Dresden Dolls, and Clatter. It is no surprise that the latest band to attract our attention is another one.

Jill Stevenson

  • "A big change would for the record labels to give an artist control of their career, the music they are writing, and how it is marketed."

Friday October 30, 2009 – Starz Film Center – Denver, CO

It has been playing nationwide in small screening from NYC, LA, Alexandria, Portland & Seattle and many more. It ran for 8 weeks when it was here last. The film is Ink, a dark fantasy film that Hollywood could never imagine. Join me there. For more information go to www.doubleedgefilms.com
