BART DAVENPORT
—
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 eclectic singer songwriter with the timeless voice of a real crooner. He lives and creates music in Los Angeles. Smooth and yet curiously pointed, his work transports us to an imagined past or present filled with romantic odes and enigmatic characters. Davenport’s stories are often a reflection of now, taking place in a fantasy world but conveying personal and universal truths. Returning to acoustic guitars and 60s baroque pop tones, Davenport recently tracked twelve new songs in his home studio. The resulting ‘Episodes’ marks his eighth proper album and is scheduled for release in March 2022 on Tapete Records.
A native of Oakland, California, Bart Davenport’s roots are in the 90s garage and blues scenes. His first band, The Loved Ones performed a rawkus style of r&b, opening for the likes of Junior Wells and John Lee Hooker. In the 00s, Davenport went solo, embracing a quieter indie esthetic. Kings of Convenience singer, Erlend Øye, has called him the “best one-guy-and-guitar performer there is.” Touring alone often makes pragmatic sense, and Davenport’s solo performances are in some ways his purest. Still, his studio recordings often reflect his taste for collaboration and ensemble band arrangements.
THE MOMMYHEADS
—
To their loyal fans, The Mommyheads have it all: impeccable songwriting, inventive arrangements and thought-provoking lyrics.
The Mommyheads were formed in New York by Adam Cohen (later Adam Elk) in 1987. By mid 90’s their line-up consisted of Elk (vocals, guitar), Dan Fisherman (drums, vocals), Michael Holt (keys, vocals) and Jeff Palmer (bass). By now, their sound had evolved into a highly original blend, seamlessly moving between influences by quirky British pop, like XTC, and Americana pioneers, The Band.
THE BYE BYE BLACKBIRDS
—
Torchbearers for harmony laden guitar rock in the 21st century, The Bye Bye Blackbirds' sound is a sparkling blend of country and roots influences, classic 60’s guitar pop, 70’s power pop, contemporary indie rock and the college radio heroes of the 1980’s.
