Emilia Dahlin Almost time to wish you a happy (long-awaited) summer - yeah!   I'll be celebrating the solstice in a special way this year and I hope that you'll join us.  This Friday (21st) long-time bassist, Adam Frederick, and I will be playing a benefit show and solstice celebration for Deer Trees Theater in Harrison, Maine.   Pack a picnic, come north, take a swim, and join us for the evening.                                               About Deer Trees Theater: In 1936 a marvelous opera house was built on the site of an old deer run in the forest above the village of Harrison. It was designed by Harrison G. Wiseman, a famous theatre architect with the instruction to, “Design the most technically perfect theatre possible”. Constructed of rose hemlock in the Adirondack Style with hand carved fixtures and near perfect acoustics, the then 500 seat, now 300 seat theatre was considered as fine as any on Broadway. Now listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, Deertrees Theatre is operated as a non-profit Theatre and Performing Arts Center and presents an eclectic offering of performances, both musical and theatrical and workshops. As home to the Deertrees Theatre Festival, the Sebago-Long Lake Music Festival, the Back-Stage Art Gallery and the Salt Lick Café, Deertrees has become and remains, ‘Maine’s Most Enchanting Playhouse.’                                                               There are still a few spaces available in the Junior Rock Camp I'm teaching for the Maine Academy of Modern Music next week for the Girls' Rock Camp in July.  Know any young folks who'd like to come rock out for the week?  Pass this along!     Wishing you a warm, light-filled, and happy Solstice... -Emilia MUSIC > Play Songs      > Share Songs      PRESS "On Dahlin’s latest release, Rattle Them Bones, she not only sings and plays guitar but also contributes piano, accordion, and glockenspiel. Rattle Them Bones juxtaposes sweet alt-folk with eclectic, jazz-infused experimentation to create a multi-faceted, original sound. Calling her music “acoustic roots with a vintage jazz twist,” she’s amazed herself at her transformation from folkie to iconoclast. From the romp of “Evangeline,” an alternative sea shanty, and the Tom Waits-esque title track’s “background of twisted, naked trees” to the accordion-heavy French noir of the mellifluous instrumental “La Fin,” Rattle Them Bones reveals why Dahlin has essentially cornered the market on local music awards recently."  — Adam Perry, Portland Monthly - "Ten Most Intriguing" "Emilia Dahlin does not seem satisfied to restrict herself to one instrument, so she brought a few. Refreshingly, she also does not seem willing to let her musical style fall in one country’s realm. Each song may have featured Dahlin’s strong, full voice, but the musical accompaniment was downright global. Dahlin is one of an increasingly rare breed of songwriter, one who is willing to dive into more narrative subjects instead of staying focused on more universal subjects that could apply to anyone. These are songs that tell stories, that transport the listener to different places and different lands. Interestingly enough, her multi-faceted view of music seems to come from primarily American sources..."  — WERS, WERS Boston "Rattle your cage - Emilia Dahlin continues to push the envelope I think Dahlin is more cognizant of the listener on this album (or EP, whatever) than she's been previously. In her experimenting and role-playing she never forgets her musicality. There's nothing intentionally off-putting or jarring, though you've got to pay attention. The quick-waltz sea shanty of "Evangeline" (not to be confused with the epic Matthew Sweet tune by the same name) is like a great writer working in genre, complete with water moving and the creak of an old tied-up boat. The chorus even boasts a sailor-choir backing: "Evangeline, don't you cry for me when you realize I'm gone/I'm not worth the salt of your tears, and I'm damned for doing you wrong."... Dahlin is very underrated on the accordion, I think. The guitar, too...."  — Sam Pfeifle, Portland Phoenix   UPCOMING SHOWS Deertrees Theatre & Cultural Center Harrison, ME Fri Jun 21 13 07:30 PM Tickets Maine Lobster Festival Rockland, ME Thu Aug 01 13 02:00 PM Tickets St. Lawrence Arts Center Portland, ME Wed Aug 28 13 07:00 PM   > See More / Details   WIDGETS (Put our stuff on your web pages and blogs!)
