Friday the 13th show with Peter and the Wolf
Blacktail Cooperative
There will be a chill show this coming Friday the 13th starting at sundown.
It's here at the Blacktail Permaculture Cooperative
address: 9982 E. 112th Ave., Henderson, CO 80640
The widely recognized musician stage named Peter and the Wolf, along with Yuzo Nieto and Safe Boating is No Accident will be at our house playing into the evening. Please see the music reviews below.
We welcome you to bring an appetizer or entrée to share. We will have home-made mead (honey wine) here for folks, but also invite you to bring your own beer, wine, etc. with you. Also, if you want to bring a little cash to donate to the "mead fund" so we can continue to offer it at these types of events, that would be great.
Spread the word!
Love,
Johnathan, Echoe, Michael, Peter, Lindsay, and Gibson :)

p.s. We recognize that many people getting this email are remote from the Denver area. If you would like us to take you off this list that announces these type of *local* events and put you on a more general Blacktail update email list, we would be happy to do that for you. We would love to still keep you in the loop as to how our permaculture is progressing here in Henderson, Colorado.

Peter and the Wolf* is the stage name of Austinite Red Hunter; one of
the best songwriters of his generation and all-around good dude. His
songs are at once simple and magnificent.
A troubadour in the classic sense, Red Hunter never stops wandering.
From the dingiest bars to silent graveyards, dirty underpasses and
warm living rooms; everywhere Peter and the Wolf [lay, magic happens.
"Thanks in large part to the sly, mysterious troubadour at its core,
Lightness cements Hunter's reputation as a creative dreamer and master
storyteller."
- NPR
"Hunter uses few instruments, though always in gorgeous combinations.
The result is a great winter album..."
- PITCHFORK
"Absolutely mesmerising, seducing listeners with dreams of freedom,
adventure, collapse, and rebirth."
- SEATTLE STRANGER
"[Hunter] silenced a typically chatty Silverlake Lounge crowd this
Wednesday weilding only a duct-taped guitar."
- L.A. WEEKLY
"...there’s gorgeous evidence of the things he’s deciphered about the
world in all of his imaginative and exasperatingly effortless breezes
of songs."
- DAYTROTTER
"Hunter’s songs reveal subtlety and craft rarely found these days as
well as honesty and emotional depth that can’t help but draw the
attention of anyone in earshot."
- ASTHMATIC KITTY
"Returning for an encore... the crowd demanded the confectionary
one-minute folk centerpiece, “Bonsai Tree," a nostalgic ode to things
better left unsaid..."
- SPIN
"Amazingly haunting and touching songs. "
- PAPER
"Rickety, intense, gothic folk backed by an orchestra of kids on
scrap-metal percussion... heavy on adventure, light on the
constraining rules that would cramp its spirit. "
- PORTLAND MERCURY
"Hunter and his chorus of note-perfect backing vocalists did a damn
fine job of establishing a mood... quite a few Peter and the Wolf
songs have themes of movement and/or city-dwelling, so as Hunter sang
about the fast pace and isolation of modern life, the delicateness of
the performance provided a lovely counterpoint. "
- PITCHFORK at SXSW 08

*Yuzo Nieto-*
The substance of “yuzo nieto and the hand that rocks the dreidel” is
eclectic. Its sound ranges from avant garde to old-timey jazz and
bossa nova with hues of electronica splashed about. Yuzo Nieto’s
formal training as an opera singer and jazz saxophonist underscore the
playful elements of poetic parody present in his lyricism - Gigbot
*
Safe Boating is No Accident-*
We don't know if the members of this quartet were imagining what it
must have been like to be inside Noah's head as he built the Ark, or
if they were having a private giggle at the cosmic joke of the
journeys of Odysseus following the Trojan War. Whatever inspired their
moniker, Safe Boating Is No Accident sounds a bit like George Gershwin
trying his hand at indie folk with a little help from Lou Reed and
Pete Seeger. Gentle rhythms and filigrees of clarinet characterize the
outfit's songs, yet none of its material seems the product of mellowed
sensibilities. Leighton Peterson's easygoing vocals are deceptively
relaxing, because there's something inherently subversive and sly
about his delivery. Safe boating is indeed no accident, and neither is
this band's rustic charm. - Tom Murphy
