Caleb Stine performs Friday, Nov. 4
Caleb Stine performs on Friday, Nov. 4. Doors open at 8pm, and the show starts at around 9. Please RSVP today via e-mail or with a comment on this entry.
You are cordially invited to the 2nd show of the 2005-2006 Holden's Lair season. It's a landmark show, because it's the first time we've booked a Baltimore musician to play the Lair. Holden and I usually envision the Lair more as a tourstop in between larger cities for medium-range national acts like Sam Shaber and Patti Rothberg, but the last several months of seeing Caleb perform at Ze Mean Bean Cafe, Woodberry Crossing, and The Waterfront Hotel - sometimes alone, sometimes with his band The Brakemen - have convinced me to bring him aboard. He's really great.
What: Caleb Stine House Concert
When: Friday, Nov. 4 - Doors at 8pm, show begins at around 9.
Cost: $10 (all proceeds go to artist)
Please RSVP and bring a dish or drink to pass
All invited - rampant forwarding of this e-mail is strongly encouraged.
Artist Description: People and music - both inexpressible wonders of life. And neither makes sense apart from the other. With guitar and voice, Caleb struggles towards honest, intimate music. Hopeful, aware of the deep truth, and the toxic lies. Music, like love, is too dear to be sipped. It hsould be drunk deeply, in the company of friends.
Caleb Stine's American homegrown music meshes elements of folk, blues, and country. In the same set, he'll veer from a moving and funny folk storysong to a rollicking rockabilly tune, then to a Lou Reed cover and then maybe to a song that will possibly remind you of Leadbelly or Johnny Cash or Michelle Shocked, but is distinctly Caleb Stine. His songs are songs of Americana, honest and forthwright, and this show will be a showcase to one of Baltimore's rising acoustic talents.

Exciting new bookings
Check out the upcoming shows link for exciting new bookings.
Boston-based fiery folky Pamela Means rocks the place with her afro and blazing guitar on Sat, Dec. 3; experimental folk artist Rose Polenzani will reel you in with her dark poetry and sublime vocals on Fri, Jan. 13; and throwback banjoist and guitarist Andru Bemis (who I went to high school with!) will have you making comparisons to Woodie Guthrie on Sat, April 29.
And don't forget Americana singer/songwriter Caleb Stine on Friday, Nov. 4. Scroll down for more info!
I'm still looking for one or two more artists, in February and March, but otherwise the 2005-2006 season looks pretty set!

Sam Shaber Photos
Sam Shaber performed the opening show of the 2005-2006 Holden's Lair show on Friday, Sept. 23. About 25 people showed up for Sam's fourth performance at Holden's Lair. A great show, and you can bet we'll have her back again.
Blessed with a big, full, robust voice, Sam Shaber was among the more promising female singer/songwriters to come out of the New York folk circuit in the '90s. The artists Shaber inspires comparisons to include, among others, the Indigo Girls, Tracy Chapman, Ani DiFranco, and Phranc. The native New Yorker has also been compared to Joni Mitchell and even though there are traces of Mitchell in some of her writing, Shaber has a bigger voice. In fact, Shaber is enough of a belter to sing R&B and she would probably be quite convincing as a straight-up R&B singer. But Shaber (who has often accompanied herself on acoustic guitar) is very much a folk-pop artist and that approach has earned her a small but enthusiastic following (especially in the northeastern region of the United States). As the '90s progressed, she became increasingly active on the Manhattan club scene. Those who caught Shaber live -- whether she was playing in the Big Apple or touring the United States -- realized that she was never a waif-life singer à la Jewel or Suzanne Vega. Always sounding like a woman instead of a girl, she brought a full-bodied vocal style to the stage. Shaber released her debut album, In the Bunker, on her own label, Brown Chair Records, in 1997. That CD was followed by her sophomore album, perfecT, a collection of live performances that was recorded at various Manhattan clubs in 1998 and released on Brown Chair in 1999. Then, in 2000, Shaber released a five-song EP titled Sam*pler on her label. In 2002, Shaber signed with SMG Records, a small independent company based in the Atlanta suburb of Decatur, GA. Eighty Numbered Streets, Shaber's third full-length album and fourth CD overall, was released by SMG in July 2002.
