Description

Presented by Do303, Lost City Live is excited to welcome Carolyn Shulman with opener Barry Osborne on Saturday, June 18th. Music begins at 7:30 p.m. and the venue will open one hour prior (at 6:30 p.m.) for attendees only. Carolyn Shulman knew from the time her father gave her a guitar at age nine that she wanted to play music for the rest of her life. However, it wasn’t until after she had practiced law in Houston for almost a decade, performing in local venues when she could, that she finally decided to focus her full attention on her lifelong passion of writing and performing original music. Carolyn’s sound is a nod to folk and Americana influences such as Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Tom Petty, Susan Gibson, and Patty Griffin. Her lyrics are clear and deliberate, yet layered with meaning and vulnerability, while her driving acoustic guitar rhythms and detailed fingerpicking serve as scaffolding for her vocal melodies. Now based in Denver, Carolyn recorded her debut full-length album, Grenadine & Kerosene, with producer John McVey at Cinder Sound Studios in Longmont, Colorado. The album was released to positive reviews on May 21, 2021 and features a full band of seasoned musicians. Grenadine & Kerosene landed on the Folk Radio Charts, climbing to number 22 and placing Carolyn among June 2021’s top 40 most-spun artists on folk radio. Singer-songwriter Barry Osborne infuses elements of punk and indie rock into the traditional clawhammer banjo sound. Marquee Magazine writes "With the same whimsical irreverence of John Hartford, Barry takes the old-time clawhammer sound and blends it with his influences of early 1980s college rock." In 2019 he was nominated for a Westword Music Award in the Folk/Bluegrass category. In the spring of 2020 as Denver and the rest of the world shut down due to COVID-19 restrictions, Barry wrote a batch of impressionistic songs that tried to capture the mood of the moment rather than explain it. At turns visceral and ethereal, the songs were recorded by Barry and the newly formed indie folk band Distance Walk and released this spring. In early 2021 Barry was a guest on David Coile’s Raw Songwriting Podcast, where they discussed Distance Walk and Barry shared the songwriting process behind his song “Faces Are Falling.” Since then Barry has gotten back to playing shows, both solo and with the band. He is constantly writing new songs and looks forward to sharing them in front of live audiences. Lost City is proud to feature the food of Sylvia Hernandez, a graduate of Comal Heritage Food Incubator. She provides fresh and tasty shareable small plates, and we will also have cocktails, wine, beer, and zero-proof drinks available.
