Howe Gelb Solo (US)

Howe Gelb besøger igen Amager Records til sommer!!
Howe Gelb har længe været omtalt som 'the godfather of alt-country' og 'ambassadør for ørkenrock'. I tre årtier har den tidligere frontfigur i Giant Sand formået at blande elementer af rock, country, blues, punk, garage, lo-fi, jazz, gospel, avantgarde-støj og flamenco-sigøjnermusik.
Oplev en af hjørnestenene i amerikansk rock i helt intime rammer.
DJ Roan varmer op fra kl 19
Howe Gelb long has been saddled with such titles as ‘godfather
of alt-country’ (only in the UK) and ‘elder ambassador of desert
rock’ (at 3:00 AM during a writer's deadline) but please never
utilize the moniker Americana anymore (which originally was a
descriptive instigated by Sylvie Simmons of MoJo aeons ago).
In three decades plus, he’s managed to mash elements of erosion
rock, de-composition, crunchy & western, something close to
blues, punk snark, lo-fi hi-fi, pseudo jazz, gospel a-choir-ing,
semi-standard piano standards and a side swipe of Andalusian
gypsy flamenco.
His genre difficult to pinpoint when questioned by authorities at
passport control;
Q:"You're a musician?
A: “Yes, I guess.”
Q: “What kind of music do you Play? “
A: "I don't know."
If musical classification were likened to sonic masonry, then one
can prepose that Howe Gelb’s stone work is but the mortar in
between all categorical bricks. An uneasy fit for the discernible
listener, but none the less, nicely holding it all together.
He’s probably ‘folk’ with a side of cacophony … let’s go with that.
He has a catalogue of over 60 albums of his various incarnations,
including GIANT SAND.
He’s produced albums for John Doe and K.T. Tunstall.
He’s made original music with friends Anna Karina (French New
Wave) and Pappy Allen (Pappy & Harriet’s).
He was instrumental in helping M. Ward and Grandaddy get their
first albums out.
His 90’s rhythm section from California became Calexico after
turning them on to his hometown in Tucson, Arizona.
He recently co-wrote the screenplay (with filmmaker Geoff
Marslett) for a film called “Quantum Cowboys” starring Lily
Gladstone, Kiowa Gordon & Gary Farmer, which also won him the
Annecy Animation Festival’s ‘original music’ award in 2023.
His most recent release; 2024’s “Howard Alan at the Lowery
Organ” is comprised entirely of organic compositions, somewhat
akin to schlager musik, is currently available on vinyl & streaming.
