Wednesday, March 15: Sarah Greene Presents Dave Clark’s Western Slang at Tranzac (in the Southern Cross Lounge). 7 pm – 9 pm, PWYC
Sarah Greene Presents Dave Clark’s Western Slang, with an opening set by Sarah Greene with Paul Kolinski, Dave Clark and Tania Gill.
Dave Clark’s Western Slang Exists to uplift you even if a few of the tunes are downright super depressing!
Dave Clark’s Western Slang walks a country music tightrope in a worn out nudie suit, holding a broken umbrella and wearing a beatific smile. This is country music with chicken fried grease on the bun. Dave Clark (Rheostatics, the Woodshed Orchestra, Charles Spearin’s Happiness Project) has curated a songbook of his original C&W tunes for his pals; bassist/vocalist Michael Herring, guitarist/vocalist Paul Kolinski, pianist/vocalist Tania Gill, guitarist/vocalist Nichol Robertson and drummer Lowell Whitty to wander through as Clark steps out front as lead vocalist.
Dave Clark’s Western Slang will play for you with love from our hearts.
Sarah Greene’s songs are intimate, concise and idiosyncratically classic. Working in warm, soulful folk-rock ballads, Greene examines loneliness, vulnerability and the tugging poles of freedom and attachment in her songs. She will be playing songs from her upcoming album as well as covers, some of both of which might be country!
