Listen | Website Gabrielle Pietrangelo Gabrielle Pietrangelo is an independent musician and songwriter based in Tucson, Arizona. Her 2020 release, On My Way Back Home, holds themes of nature, image invoking lyrics and personal spirituality. After releasing one solo recording early in her career, Pietrangelo immersed herself in collaborative projects, including Silver Thread Trio, a well-loved three-part harmony group that worked with Howe Gelb, Calexico, Amos Lee and many others. Gabrielle's recent return to solo recording and performing has brought her back to roots of guitar driven arrangements, finger picking, open tuning, ethereal harmonies and melodies that emphasize the shimmering quality of her voice. She is currently working on a full length album. Bekah Rolland Lauded as “a creature of perpetual musical motion” by the Columbia Tribune, Rolland’s songwriting first took flight in Tucson-based band Run Boy Run, and has since been featured on Spotify’s official “New Roots” playlist and honored by the International Acoustic Music Awards. PopMatters listed her solo debut, Seed & Silo, on its "20 Best Folk Albums of 2018" and Americana UK calls it "a slice of folk perfection." Characteristic of some of the most forceful and compelling voices in folk music, her writing succeeds in building worlds of dust and clay, worn pages and weathered pearls, highways and high rises, the faces and hands, the trials and triumphs that make up the stories of the past and the present. More info on Bekah: https://www.rebekahrolland.com/about Howe Gelb How do you write about a musician who has spent more than 30 years defying musical conventions? You could trot out all the cliche rock-critic terms: seminal, hyperbole, incendiary, eponymous, masterful, achingly poignant, priceless, alt-country, old-school, outlaw. Some of those might even fit if you shoehorned them into context. Howe Gelb long has been saddled with such titles as ‘godfather of alt-country’ and ‘elder ambassador of desert rock’. When confronted with such accolades, he clears his throat, amused and a little embarrassed, and he ponders. His summer-sun squint turns into a twinkle when he finally asks his questioner, ‘What do you think of it?’ In three decades he’s managed to mash elements of rock, country, blues, punk, garage, lo-fi, jazz, gospel, avant-garde noise and flamenco gypsy music. Guitar and piano are his weapons of tumult. He sings like a gruff angel, a town crier tapping you on the shoulder, reminding you that the world need not be seen in the conventional ways to which we revert when the world goes blurry.
