Greetings!
Here's some NOMA news from our most recent newsletter. We welcomed several
new artists to NOMA this past month.
COSY SHERIDAN -- With performances from the Cowgirl Hall of Fame to
Carnegie Hall, and winning music festival competitions such as Kerrville
and Telluride, Cosy's distinctive "tender/tough" voice and top-notch guitar
playing make her a great addition to NOMA. Her new CD, "Grand Design," is a
whole new direction for Cosy. Listen to the five-song mini-sampler at:

DAVE CARTER -- Once described as the "Carlos Castaneda of country music,"
Dave Carter has won numerous awards including the Sisters (Ore.) Folk
Festival Songwriting Contest, the American Songwriter Magazine's lyric
contest and Portland Songwriters Association Entertainer of the Year.
Dave's songs reflect the ongoing existential struggle between science and
faith, intellect and emotion, heart and mind.

TIM FARRELL -- Renowned fingerstyle guitarist Tim Farrell has a brand new
album, "Sky Dancer," which is already receiving airplay and accolades
across the U.S. and in Europe. A faculty member at a musical conservatory
and an active composer, Tim provides music for TV shows and soundtracks,
among other projects, and presents concerts and workshops around the country.

JOYCE ROUSE, a.k.a. EARTH MAMA, has been a Nashville-based songwriter and
performer for more than 10 years. Four years ago Joyce began combining her
music and humor with her concern for the Earth, and the Earth Mama was
born. She performs at a variety of venues for adults and children.

SIMPLE GIFTS -- Linda Littleton, Rachel Hall and Karen Hirshon are three
women who draw on a broad musical background to play 12 instruments and
perform Romanian, Klezmer, Irish, English, Israeli and American music and
more. Based in the hills of central Pennsylvania, SIMPLE GIFTS draws on a
wide variety of ethnic folk styles, playing everything from lively Irish
jigs to haunting Gypsy melodies.

performances that was recorded in 1993. It includes Newbury classics such
as "American Trilogy" and "San Francisco Mabel Joy," some traditional songs

Don't house concerts fit the cottage industry moniker as well? They too exist
in an sheltered economic zone rather than out in the musical marketplace in
competition with bars, pubs, concert halls and the odd coffee house. Not that
I would imply that this is a bad thing, but it does accentuate the limits
placed on Our Kind Of Music.

All this wondering lured me out of lurkdom. I know this sounds
far fetched, but my assosiations were a comparison of the
lines from Woodie Guthrie's "bigest thing that man has ever
done" and Phil Oh's "God on our side"? Are the differences in
tone and emphasis the differences in the protest styles of two
generations?

Dear F_Mers,
The Phil Ochs tribute double-album , "What's That I Hear", is available
from Sliced Bread Records, whose web site is www.slicedbread.com
Mr. Gorka does "Bracero", "There But for Fortune" has the voice of Rex
Fowler, Karen Savoca gives us "No More Songs", and Eric Andersen
contributes "When I'm Gone". Arlo, The Roches, Nancy Tucker ("Changes",
David Massengill, Christine Lavin, and Dave Van Ronk also sing Ochs'
compositions.
Thanks goes to WXPN (Philadelphia) dj Gene Shay, who brought the music
and the singers together in a great package, and to Larry Cohen
(Skyline), who serves as Musical Director, Sonny Ochs, Carl Apter, and
others.
The Pete Seeger Tribute, which is WXPN's album of the week, is available
in stores, but local folks (or anyone, really) who want to support the
station can get the double cd for a 75 dollar membership contribution to
the station ("non-commercial, non-commerical" - yeah, yeah). The # is
1-800-565-WXPN.
Happy listening!
DB

How can I find out more about Lisa Sanders? Just bought her new CD,
"Isn't Life Fine," and I love it. Very strong voice, and very poetic.
Never heard of her before, and can't find anything about her on the net.
[Alan sez: I did a quick web search and found a ton of pages on Lisa. Her
home page is at http://sdam.com/artists/lisa/, which is part of a very cool
larger site of San Diego area musicians. She has one album out on MCA
records. There appear to be real audio sound bytes of all of her songs
linked to her www page, I just didn't have time to dig deeper.]
