BLIND WILLIES
Monday March 24, 8pm--9pm
Parkside Lounge
Audience WANTED for video shoot.
San Francisco duo perform original urban folk tales, about pimps, prostitutes, homeless wanderers, teen runaways, and unrepentant sinners, from their new CD release Everybody's Looking for a Meal.
Blind Willies--fiddler Annie Staninec and guitarist/singer/songwriter Alexei Wajchman--explore the darker side of life with their stark, poignant tales and bare-bones style. Bluegrass, old time, and gypsy jazz fiddler Annie has performed with David Grisman's Gypsy Caravan, Darol Anger, and Crooked Still. Alexei has been called "a remarkable songwriter" by Jennifer Patton, editor of the popular online zine Delusions of Adequacy, who wrote of the duo's debut
CD: "Blind Willies play incredibly wonderful music. I cannot urge fans
of all sorts of folk music enough that they should not miss out on
The Unkindness of Ravens."
