Greetings from Quimper Sound & the Analog Lounge. We've got a couple
announcements - so lets get right to it!
First, we want to let everyone know that we're shutting down our online
commerce site and returning to a more local information/reviews format. The
online store was fun but it wasn't as focused on things local - like ticket
sales and employee reviews - as we want it to be going forward. In fact,
most of the orders we recieved were from out of state! Look for the new,
revamped site to be up by the middle of next week.
Second, we want to announce that we're bringing back Wayne Horvitz. This
time local and national legend Danny Barnes will be joining Wayne and his
band Sweeter Than the Day for another night of eclectic music (from chamber
jazz to polka to psycho-billy) from some of the finest musicians on the
planet. Tickets are only $12 - get 'em at Quimper Sound - or call and make
reservations at the Upstage and be guaranteed a great seat (385-2216). Ask
anybody who at the last show - this might be the most enjoyable live music
you'll hear all year! (See the full press release here <> )
As always, feedback is much appreciated - keep it coming to:
feedback at quimpersound.com - thanks! And now, on with the show . . .

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 25, 2006
Contact: Steve Wilmart (360) 385-2454 steve at quimpersound.com

Quimper Sound Presents Wayne Horvitz and Sweeter Than the Day
With Special Guest Danny Barnes
PORT TOWNSEND, WA -- Quimper Sound is proud to present Wayne Horvitz and his
band Sweeter Than the Day live at the Upstage on Thursday November 2, 2006.
For his return engagement in Port Townsend, Horvitz has enlisted legendary
banjo player and composer Danny Barnes as his very special guest.
Mr. Horvitz is world renowned as a composer, pianist and bandleader. In
addition to his extensive credits as a leader and solo artist he has
performed with a huge variety of artists with an enormous diversity of
styles - from Fiona Apple to John Zorn. His recordings with his latest
ensemble have garnered rave reviews both here and abroad:
"... towards a quietly powerful chamber modernism full of eclectic
composerly acumen that makes dreamlike reference to jazz, country, folk and
hymn-like material. Delightful and original." - Chris Ingham, Mojo (UK)
Danny Barnes is an equally accomplished and well traveled musician. He's
played with everyone from Bill Frisell to Chuck Leavell, composed original
music for "The Newton Boys" and... "As founding member of Austin's notorious
Bad Livers, banjoist/guitarist and singer/songwriter Danny Barnes staked his
claim as a traditionalist who didn't mind breaking the rules by irreverently
mixing punk, rock, rockabilly, and even touches of techno into the bluegrass
formula." - Hal Horowitz, All Music Guide
A match made in Heaven (Port Townsend) - this show promises to be an evening
of musical hijinx of the highest order.
Sweeter Than the Day is Wayne Horvitz - Piano and Keyboards, Timothy Young -
Guitars, Keith Lowe - Acoustic Bass, and Andy Roth - Drums.
Tickets are $12 and are available at Washington's Oldest Independent Record
Store, Quimper Sound, located at 230 Taylor Street, Port Townsend or by
calling the Upstage at 360.385.2216.
