Mendocino Stories and Music Series "emith" Singer/songwriter Showcase September 10, 2011

Mendocino Stories and Music Series announces the return of emith in a Singer/songwriter showcase on Saturday, September 10. Join Stevie Gurr and Carol Ann Ives of emith for their “…musical recipe that includes blues, folk, country and rock with some Celtic mysticism mixed in there…”. http://emith.com/site Showtime is at 7:30PM at the Mendocino Hotel.

"Founded in 2003 at a crossroads between Los Angeles and the infamous Inland Empire, emith (”the good life”) is an original fusion of the old and new, of humor and sadness, of the pristine and the profane...they will perform as an acoustic duo, featuring new songwriter Carol Ann Ives on vocals and guitar, and highly respected guitarist Stevie Gurr (Dr. John, Elvin Bishop, Zigaboo Modeliste, Maria Muldaur and others) on guitar and harmonica.

One of the members of Peter Paul and Mary, apparently so overcome with a powerful inspiration in writing one of his songs, once started a foundation for songs that are inspired by spirits “calling from a distant place.” This is the kind of music emith features, ethereal but rootsy, lyrically compelling but catchy, and full of humor, passion and a certain kind of chemistry. Their influences are as wide-ranging as Fleetwood Mac meets acoustic Led Zeppelin, Aimee Mann, Emmylou Harris, and BB King all in one kind of edgy sandwich...

All Ages Welcome! Doors open at 6:30 PM for bistro menu and drinks. For info - Pattie at 937-1732 or www.mendocinostories.com/events.html
