Hope for A Golden Summer, Zoe Boekbinder, Alex Thompson @ Barking Legs Theater Apr. 29 2011. Press Release

The ArtFRONT concert series re-ignites with three stage proven performers.

Hope For A Golden Summer an Athens, GA Flagpole Magazine band of the year featuring vocal harmonies and multiple instrumentals by sisters Claire & Paige Campbell and latest addition to the band, Suny Lyon. No other group acheives the mysterious intrigue of these highly sought after performers and darlings of the music press. They have released a new full length album "Hours in the Attic," containing eighteen songs all recorded live at their concerts, which will be available at the show. Audiences are typically astounded by the sophisticated harmonic approach to their original southern ballads and lyrical storyteling on an artists canvas of surprising acoustic instrumentation including Claire's famous singing saw which, in her skilled hands, rivals the sounds of any electronic instrument.

We are also very fortunate to present Zoe Boekbinder an Oakland, CA based performer who posesses a masterful command of the live looping station applied to her acoustic instruments and vocals in a manner to rival Andrew Bird. Zoe's overall performance is an animated cabaret style experience with vocals approaching operatic range. Her complex lyrical approach and sense of humor keeps audiences leaning forward to catch every word. No stranger to the stage, Zoe has toured for the past five years sharing stages with acts such as Amanda Palmer, the Dresden Dolls & The Ditty Bops. Her earlier band project "Vermillion Lies" headlined venues such as San Francisco's Great American Music Hall and Circo de Braga in Portugal. Zoe's first full length Album released in Sept. 2009 "Artichoke Perfume" was a collaboration with producer Cesar Alvarez (Brooklyn, NY) of "The Lisps." This CD will be available at the show so be sure to see Zoe here at Barking Legs before she takes her tour back to the west coast to begin recording her second full length album.

Simply put a microphone in front of Chattanooga's own Alex Thompson and he will have any audience's attention completely riveted. The depth of his vocal prowess and unforgettable melodies and guitar compositions have made Alex one of the top local talents to watch, as anyone who attended his opening performance for our packed out show with Angel Snow/Viktor Krauss or his recent set at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta will confirm. Though influenced by Jeff Buckley & Elliot Smith the uniqueness of Alex's songs remove him far from any comparison to standard singer songwriters. For this show Alex is working on a possible surprise collaboration with some of his favorite hand picked backing musicians. We will all just have to come to the show to see what new direction Alex is ready to take us in.
