Description

CHARLIE RAUH “Charlie Rauh plays guitar with a quiet intensity, each note and chord ringing with purpose,” writes Acoustic Guitar Magazine. “Rauh gives a gentle reminder that playing soft and slow can be more impactful than loud and fast.” With these words, we find ourselves in the company of a musician whose imprint is as delicate as it is indelible. While Rauh styles himself a folk artist, the sound he has created fashions worlds a shade removed from ours. More importantly, he experiences his process as one of distillation. His music avoids excess, which may be its closest affinity with folk music—a tradition typically associated with something stripped back, honest, and, above all, relatable. “Music meant to be remembered and shared,” as Rauh would have it. Such attention to the simplicity of detail, if not also the detail of simplicity, is echoed in many of the accolades Rauh has received from top music journals around the world, which join him in circling the ever-moving target of his motivation to create something as intimate and ephemeral as it is melodically potent. Rauh is currently signed to Austin-based label Destiny Records and is an endorser for Collings Guitars and La Bella strings. He has been invited to serve as a resident composer by such organizations as the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Fair Isle Studio, the Klaustrid Foundation, and the Chen Dance Center. His work as a soloist has been supported by grants from Meet the Composer, the Untitled Artist Group, the Fractured Atlas Group, and New York Foundation For The Arts. In addition to his sonic inspirations, he welcomes the imagery of various poets, ranging from Anna Akhmatova to the Brontës. The latter were the theme of his 2020 album, The Bluebell, which brought about a new chapter of his introspective approach. As a supporting artist, Rauh works with a variety of colleagues across several genres, both as a touring sideman and a studio musician and arranger, including work with Wilco drummer Ken Coomer, Magnetic Fields producer Charles Newman, Tom Waits producer Oz Fritz, Sparklehorse contributor Alan Weatherhead, and Pulitzer nominee Cornelius Eady. -Tyran Grillo charlierauh.com nunu82522.eventbrite.com nunu.eventbrite.com nunucollective.org JIM PHARIS Acoustic Folk Blues Guitar Driven Acoustic Music From Louisiana Jim Pharis plays Folk Blues Music.
