And here's the 'script for each in case you want a verbal preview:
Mr. History is a collaborative of midwest natives who perform a variety
of musical genres- from GO-GO, hip-hop, and hard rocking R&B, to
softer ballads and Post-rock melodic soundscapes. Frequently countered
by a rotating lineup of local visual artists ranging from painting to
experimental video media, this is a group effort to captivate the
audiences' senses.
From the mid-west melting pot of Columbia MO comes the equally eclectic
quartet Rutherford. Drawing from such influences as Led Zeppelin,
Radiohead, and Counting Crows, songwriters Ruth Acuff and Jeff Mueller
create dynamic compositions accented with Beatle-esque harmonies. Pat
O'Driscoll adds a third voice as well as excellent guitar that is
sometimes atmospheric and at other times bold. Brian Kent goes beyond
keeping the beat, infusing each song with infectious energy atop a solid
foundation. Rutherford is currently in post-production for their second
studio album, tentatively entitled "Logic & Chemistry"
Violet Vonder Haar believes in music. She was born 22 years ago on the
banks of Splice Creek nestled in the river hills near the tiny Missouri
River town of Lupus (pop. 29). Nurtured in the thriving folk community
of Central Missouri, she has been performing for area audiences since
she was tall enough to reach a mic. As a child, she was inspired to
influence people to environmental causes through song, and over the
years she has lent her voice to churches, benefits, peace rallies and
any venue to make a better world.
