This Week's Artist Dan Blakeslee & The Calabash Club Presented by Chapel & Main
Dan Blakeslee & The Calabash Club
Presented by Chapel & Main
Dan Blakeslee & The Calabash Club Show Date March 27th, 2021 With a suitcase of songs, Maine folk troubadour Dan Blakeslee ventured into the subways of Boston in 1995 to practice his craft. His songs of true life adventures combine the essence of early folk music with a dose of country grit. His band The Calabash Club provide an audible framework and twangy hooks to Blakeslee's bluesy saloon anthems. Nick Phaneuf (bass) and Jim Rudolf (drums) are loyally synchronized, and their tasteful approach to rhythm provides a solid structure inside of which Mike Effenberger (organ, accordion) adds an emotional and timeless quality to Blakeslee’s songs. They release a full length Christmas album called "Christmasland Jubilee" on November 24, 2020. https://www.facebook.com/DanBlakesleeAndTheCalabashClub https://www.instagram.com/danblakesleemusic/?hl=en
Who is this benefiting?
The global pandemic has disrupted much of the New Hampshire Seacoast's culture and economy, with musicians having been hit especially hard. Music fans and musicians have been lucky to have a variety of outdoor music events in the Seacoast this past summer: from the Loading Dock Series at 3S Artspace to the Kittery Community Center to Crows Feat Farm to the Portsmouth Popup, out-of-work musicians have been able to bring their art to the hungry public. Winter Warmer aims to keep the fire of live music burning by airing the best local music the Seacoast has to offer in an 11-band concert video series that will stream weekly from January through the end of March. Seacoast Music Support, in collaboration with Project Music Works, 501(c)(3), are fundraising production costs so that the musicians involved can get 95% of the ticket sales with 5% going to Continuum Arts Collective, a Maine nonprofit organization which puts musical instruments and arts supplies in the hands of kids who can't otherwise access them. A huge thank you to our sponsors. Seacoast Jazz Society, Parma Records, The Noise Floor, The Black Birch, Stoneface Brewing Company, Tangram 3DS, Drum Center Portsmouth, NAMI and Chapel & Main. Season passes and tickets are now available. We are looking forward to presenting our Winter Warmer Series! Sincerely, Eff, Greg, Nick and Amanda
