HOLLY ARNTZEN - Every Song is a Little Adventure

Thu, Dec 05

Woodstock, Free Man In Paris, Black Crow, Both Sides Now, Carey…are some of the Joni songs you’ll hear interpreted by Holly Arntzen with her unique slide dulcimer, through a folk-jazz-rock lens. Every Song is a Little Adventure (ESLA) pays homage to the intensely personal stories and spirit of the songs, while stretching the musical envelope, improvising and rocking out. ESLA is Holly Arntzen - vocals, dulcimer, piano; Nathen Aswell – bass, vocals; Tim Porter – guitar; Kevin Wright – percussion, vocals; Tom Arntzen – piano, vocals. "What a fantastic show. Kudos to you all. Holly, your work as a singer, musician performer was inspiring. The band was brilliant. As a huge fan of JM, I was thrilled by the arrangements, so exciting and vibrant; you made the songs yours. And yet they were familiar in tone/vibe for us to easily recognize every song. That is such a difficult tight rope to walk – especially with Joni" work – and you made it seem easy." Amy Newman, audience member
