In a season that has found audiences inundated with more themed music events than you can count while leaving your shoes on, Goli with the help of Sarah Rabdau and Nohow On (formerly No Eye Contact) is hosting a night of refreshingly compelling and honest music, plain and simple.
There is no need to dust off your vintage frocks or don your old aviator gear in order to fit in at this show. Whether you be Steampunk, Goth, Treeloving Hippy, Anti-Love Hipster or anything in between, all you’ll need to enjoy this show at Berklee’s Cafe 939 is your ears and your heart. You can save your fashion show for another night.
From sublime to silly to subtly subversive the three bands sharing the stage at the Red Room @ Cafe 939 will offer you music of death & getting laid and long lost fables of youth and love.
-Goli (Valerie Thompson-cello/vocals, Vessela Stoyanova-MIDI
Marimba/melodica) will close the night with their brand of «chamber music for a modern era.» A duo that sounds far fuller than their numbers might lead you to believe, Goli is known for intricate arrangements, stunning musicianship, irresistible charm, and the happiest sounding songs about death/depression/heartbreak you’ll ever hear on cello and marimba. These classical music misfits draw on their experience in orchestras, progressive rock bands, cabaret, and busking at Boston’s Faneuil Hall to bring you a performance that is as intimate as it is unique.
-NoHow On (Raky Sastri, Josh Arnoudse, Gideon Irving-vocals, guitar, bass, banjo, accordion, harmonium, etc.) will be coming off a two-month national tour for this, their homecoming show. Self-branded «Garage Folk» NoHow On draws on a diverse range of influences from Bob Dylan, Neutral Milk Hotel, Sacred Harp singing and West Africa griot music. Their rich vocal harmonies are accompanied by every folk instrument you could think of. Where else will you hear throat-singing and banjo with the most solidly rocking rhythm guitar around?!
-Sarah RabDAU (piano & voice, solo) opens the night with Goli joining her for a few songs. Sarah’s songwriting is captivating, her vocals seeth and soar and her piano playing shifts from pounding rock to classical Impressionism akin to Debussy or Satie in a manner that is both surprising and viscerally satisfying.
