& many more
Bart Davenport might be a multitude of things, depending on whom you ask. He’s been a mod, a blues singer and a softrock troubadour. He’s an eccentric guitarist and singer with the timeless voice of a real crooner.
The Ladles. After discovering their shared love of harmony (and knitting) they decided to form a band. All three are songwriters and performers in their own right, but together they create a unique sound influenced by their backgrounds in traditional folk, jazz, Motown, and choral music. Their songs feature a combination of rich harmony, traditional acoustic instrumentation and distinctive arrangements.
Imagine a freak teleportation accident in which the humor and close harmony of The Boswell Sisters, the pop sensibilities of Dirty Projectors, and the rich vocal blend of Red Molly are fused into a 3-headed musical creature. That creature might sound something like Oakland-based songwriter Madeline Tasquin’s jazz-inspired folk-pop trio Sarabande, who have been singing together since 2016.
Made up of Alaskan native singer-songwriter Shiloh Parkerson (Shiloh & the Sun, formerly American Nomad) on vocals and flute, Massachusetts-born vocalist & bassist Hannah Levy (Kitka Ensemble, Little Arcs) and Canadian bandleader Tasquin at the helm on guitar, ukulele and keys, the trio sings Tasquin’s musically adventurous songs about everything from the cosmos to magical encounters with wind gods to love in all its permutations… also putting their Sarabande spin on songs by everyone from Leonard Cohen to Drake.
