THE SUITCASE JUNKET (Amherst, MA)
Matt Lorenz - a Vermont born musician, visual artist and tinkerer, is a professional showoff. "I aim to write good songs and sing them honestly" says Lorenz. He does that and more. The Suitcase Junket's artistic vision is one of salvaged and repurposed objects, images and emotions. His innovative junk-percussion constructions, original album art featuring inanimate objects with wings, and the high craft of his songwriting all combine to create a unique and engaging entity with a force and style all its own.
Lorenz tours The Suitcase Junket nationally playing on festival stages and city street corners, in concert halls and dive bars, in living rooms and listening rooms. The sound isn't easy to pin into a genre, but The Suitcase Junket is often likened to Tom Waits, The Black Keys and Andrew Bird. Lorenz's songwriting is unexpected, powerful and poignant, drawing from the deep well of the American musical traditions of folk, rock, blues and storytelling, all sharpened with a keen pop sensibility.
Lorenz has released three albums as The Suitcase Junket: Sever and Lift (2009) and Knock It Down (2011) and Make Time (2015). An EP - Dying Star - was just released this spring. "The band" is built around a resurrected dumpster-diamond guitar, an old oversized suitcase, a hi-hat, a gas-can baby-shoe foot-drum, a cookpot-soupcan-tambourine foot-drum, a circular-saw-blade bell and a box of bones and silverware that operate much like a hi-hat. He pounds out rhythms with his feet and his twang-and-buzz guitar growls through a couple of old tube amps. On top of all this is the ethereal edge of his overtone throat-singing. This act is unique and not to be missed.

ROY DAVIS PRESENTS THE SNAGGLETOOTH STRING BAND (Maine)
Roy Davis (of The Coloradas) is returning to Maine (!!!) and reuniting with the area's finest bluegrass and string band musicians to perform across his home state. For this show he will be joined by fellow Coloradas bandmate Bernie Nye, Willy Crichton, and Seth and Tyler from Tricky Britches. Since Roy's last Maine performance, he has traveled across the country to Texas and up to Wyoming towing a 1969 Airstream Trailer, where he lived alone on a mountain in his trailer with a small wood stove and worked on a novel inspired by the same stories that shaped the songs on his most recent album, The Awakening.
