First announcement: S.J. Tucker house concert, February 21st!

For those already familiar with the music of S.J. Tucker: Mark your calendars! SJ will be playing at Madhouse-at-Camelot on Sunday, February 21st, at 6:00 PM. All are welcome! RSVP through SJ's website.

For those that haven't yet heard of her, there's a lot you're missing. S.J. Tucker, a.k.a. Skinny White Chick, is a Folk Rock Pixie Pirate Mythpunk Storyteller, taking the country by storm, spreading music and delight wherever she roams - and she has been on the road since 2004, showing no sign of slowing down. If you dare try to classify her style you might call it "Celtic Blues", while her instrumental and vocal talents earn comparisons to Joni Mitchell, Ani DiFranco, Dar Williams, and Jeff Buckley. She has one of the most phenomenal voices I've ever heard, a talent for writing intricate and unforgettable lyrics, and a guitar that seems to have a life all of its own.

All of SJ's music may be listened to via streaming audio for free, with purchase and download links as well. A few of my personal favorites:

The Wendy Trilogy: Part I, Part II, Part III. Wendy gets fed up with Peter Pan and runs off to be a pirate instead.
Weightless: Perfectly captures the feeling of a new lover walking into your world and turning it upside-down.
City Of Marrow: Dark and haunting, inspired by the shrivelled city in Catherynne M. Valente's Orphan's Tales series.

Picking out just these songs was immensely difficult - it's hard to give a representative sample of SJ's work without just pointing you to the site and saying, "Listen to it all! Come back tomorrow!" In less than a year that [livejournal.com profile] quartzpebble have been listening, SJ's music has brightened our life, opening out eyes to entire new worlds. Now it will be our great honor to have her play in our home, and to share that with you.

I mean, Lauren and I have figured out the secret of the king-sized futon... it just involves borrowing part from... oh wait, they'll be there!

but they'll be using the actual futon! so we can totally make a king sized air mattress out of our two mattresses again!
