Introducing...Revien

My prolific and talented (ex) neighbor is at it again with a new trio.  Based on his growing list of musical adventures, you can tell the fleet-fingered fella is into the numbers: Georgia Guitar Quartet, Odd Trio, and now Revien. 

Along with two members of the GGQ, multi-instrumentalist Kyle Dawkins and cellist Phil Snyder, guitarist/composer/arranger Brian Smith forges ahead into exciting new realms.  Call it psyche-classical, chamberdelia, or some kind of mystery mezcla; call it music from some super-talents, and call it something you need to hear.





Revien debuts on Smith's go-to stage at Hendershot's Coffee Bar in Athens, GA this Saturday night with a new sound that goes "beyond the traditional chamber music experience, and spans the distance from Bach sonatas to Radiohead; from Duke Ellington to Debussy; from Spanish-flavored guitar and cello music to bluegrass-inspired Led Zeppelin romps."

Sound intriguing?

Mais oui! 

8 o'clock, sharpish.

10,000 Thanks !

Back in 2008, I started out with a few posts with no idea where this was going. Today, I thank you -- all those who've come by, clicked through, read, listened, watched, pondered, or smiled along the way. It's been a joy to keep adding to this space, like building a Tibetan mandala, one grain of sand at a time.

Well, I've long resisted the urge to join the rest of my generation in the 'blogosphere'. Part of my hesitancy probably stems from terms like that. Does there yet exist a term like 'blogerati'? If not, maybe I should first coin it and then aspire to be a part of it. Stay in tune and tuned in for more.
