Come Dance with Me in Ireland - Pilgrimage to Yeats Country

Sunday, March 4, 2018 @ 12:00AMSun, Mar 4, 2018 @ 12:00AM

Patrick Ball at Vagabond Blues, 642 S Alaska St, Palmer, Alaska

Harpist and Storyteller Patrick Ball returns with his new show  Come Dance with Me in Ireland - Pilgrimage to Yeats Country A musical and dramatic performance based on the life and works of  William Butler Yeats Join Celtic harper and storyteller Patrick Ball for a harp-filled, dramatic performance based on the life and works of Ireland’s greatest poet, William Butler Yeats. Come Dance with Me In Ireland will be presented on March 3rd at the Anchorage Museum Auditorium at 7:30 pm  A second show will be presented at Vagabond Blues at 6 PM on March 4th. Tickets are $25.00 and available through Centertix. In the spring of 2016, Patrick was awarded a Visiting Fellowship by the Moore Institute at the National University of Ireland, Galway to study the life and works of Ireland’s greatest poet, William Butler Yeats. Patrick spent a commendable amount of time in the Archives and Special Collections. But, if he was forced to be truthful, he would have to admit that he spent a great deal more time in the pubs of Galway and rambling around Yeats Country. He likes to think that this performance has the savor of all these influences.  A Nobel Prize winner, Yeats(1865–1939) was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served as an Irish Senator for two terms. Yeats was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival.  Patrick tours extensively throughout Europe, the United States and Canada, is considered one of the premier Celtic harpers and storytellers in the world today, and has recorded nine instrumental and three spoken word albums which have sold well over one-half million copies collectively and earned national awards in both the music and spoken word categories.   To hear examples of Patrick’s extraordinary brass strung harp go to  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMMPPTOMlPI .

“Kevin Barnett's Alpenglow delivers over an hour of tasty jazz, with exciting original tunes and

AlpenglowArctic Siren Productions and Lovin’Dog Music announce the release of Alpenglow by Kevin Barnett.  A collection of 13 original instrumental compositions, Alpenglow depicts the many moods and impressions of winter in Alaska.The extraordinarily gifted pianist and composer Kevin Barnett captures them all from the wistful melancholy of a cozy fireplace to the perfect grace of falling snow.  Exploring all styles from jazz to classical, Alpenglow is the perfect instrumental companion for long winter nights no matter where you find yourself.

 

Pianist Kevin Barnett explores tone poems in Alpenglow.  Tone poems were first created by Franz Liszt in the 1850s. They are musical “illustrations” of scenes and stories. In the 20th Century, composers like Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel, George Gershwin, and Duke Ellington wrote and performed these beautiful and evocative “sound paintings.” 

 

This is a collection of jazz and pop vignettes that portray the varied experiences of winter in Alaska, recalling a wide range of influences from J.S. Bach to Chick Corea. To aid him in this endeavor, Kevin has enlisted the aid of veteran session and jazz musicians, like bassists Dirk Westfall and Ray Booker and percussionists Scott D. Weller and Bob Arms. These are musicians who love to be part of a musical  conversation, sharing ideas, trading lines, and playing with the spaces between the notes. To bring this endeavor to fruition, they enlisted the production wizardry of highly acclaimed producer Peggy Monaghan.  In creating this beautiful and challenging music, everyone was committed to pushing the boundaries of what is possible and dedicated to creating music of great beauty and subtle power. With Alpenglow, they succeeded.

 

Kevin Barnett has over 40 years of experience, including 21 years in Air Force bands, as a professional pianist and keyboard player. He is also an experienced and in-demand composer, arranger, and producer working in a variety of musical genres from classical to rock to jazz. Kevin is the owner of Lovin’Dog Music, a recording studio in Eagle River, Alaska, where he lives with his wife, Regina, and their dog, Kaya.

 

You can find Kevin directly at his website at http://lovindogmusic.com.

 

 

“Kevin Barnett's  Alpenglow delivers over an hour of tasty jazz, with  exciting original tunes and exquisite musicianship. It brings to mind the comfortable and seamless style of Vince Guaraldi.  Listeners will delight in the  variety of jazz styles ranging from Latin to swing, and ballad  to waltz .  Kudos to Mr. Barnett on some very tasty tunes.”

 

-Melissa “Jazzmom” Fischer
