Grand Marais at SXSW in Austin

Posted on | March 8, 2013 | No Comments

Grand Marais is a new musical project formed by San Antonio musicians Joe Reyes, Erik Sanden and odie. Artist and curator Hills Snyder has invited Grand Marais to testsite to perform a cycle of original songs that blend punk, dance and acoustic folk with themes that playfully explore depression. Through a combination of well-crafted melodies and sly humor, the songs manage to unseat melancholy and provide cathartic release for those who suffer from its throws. Grand Marais, no strangers to the stage and performance art, will engage the audience directly for one afternoon, communicating through words, telephones and a presentation easel. The arrangements are at times hyper minimal, employing only two acoustic guitars and an electric bass but the vocals are elaborate and full of harmonies. Likewise, the performance run is economical, lasting a little over a half an hour.

Buttercup with Walter from the Silo’s

Posted on | March 8, 2013 | No Comments

Can’t wait to play with Walter Salas-Humara tomorrow. It was ages ago that my “band” The Unables covered his fantastic song “Commodore Peter” (at our weekly gig at the hamburger stand) with Christopher Blake Smithsonconsistently playing the chords in a shockingly discordant reverse-pattern. He was so intoxicated. Tomorrow night I’ll be high myself, on life, and on some great music. I’ll get to play “Commodore Peter” with the man who wrote the song.

It’s an early show.
