Storyhill's "Shade of the Trees" CD Release!

"Dangerous Weapon" by Storyhill

Storyhill, one of my 3 favorite groups, is gearing up for release of their new album "Shade of the Trees". The album will be out April 20th on the local (MN) label: Red House Records. A release show will be held at the Guthrie on April 17th (tix on-sale Mar. 19).

I'm looking forward to hearing the new tunes! I do find it fairly humorous the show is being billed as an "Acoustic Duo Performance". As opposed to what...? :) When's the last time they played with full band? :) Last I recall seeing a full band myself were the 'breaking-up' shows in '97 (although I've missed plenty of shows since then).

Each time I hear 'White Roses' I still vividly picture Fawcett's drum sticks splintering into more and more pieces with each blast into the drum during the "I'm Looking Through You" portion...until the end when the band walked off for the 'last' time . Hands down the most memorable song performance of any show I've ever attended.
