Hello Coffee House Friends,
Please join us Saturday November 4th for a concert with Michael Chorney and Hollar General!Michael Chorney and Hollar General play their own brand of acoustic music.
The song based quartet infuses improvisation and subtle but complex rhythms into Chorney’s book of sometimes ethereal, sometimes driving songs. Guitarist and vocalist Michael Chorney, bassist Robinson Morse and drummer Geza Carr have worked together for years. They are the foundation of the Hadestown Orchestra, the touring group that performs Chorney’s and Anais Mitchell collaboration "Hadestown”.
Comprised of some of the finest players from Vermont’s small but vital music community, Michael Chorney and Hollar General feature the sounds of acoustic guitar, acoustic bass, steel guitars and drums. The band lifts and carries Chorney's voice and infuses the songs with the subtlety and spontaneous interaction of a jazz quartet. Their concerts are displays of remarkable musical chemistry, deep listening and virtuosic interplay,
Various musical guests provide the perfect compliment both in sound and in musical personality to the road-seasoned trio. In addition to Chorney’s songs Hollar General plays unique renditions of works by Tennessee Williams, Sun Ra and other unlikely sources. “Magic” - Matt Bushlow, Seven Days
The orchestrations are simultaneously rich and spare, deftly echoing the sounds of traditional folk music while also having an indie-pop flair. -New York Times
A shifting landscape of styles and sounds, from orchestral indie folk to mountain music to avant-garde jazz, melding together brilliantly and beautifully. -Seven Days, Vermont
Michael Chorney and Hollar General play a new kind of “Americana” - one as broad and wide as the name suggests. Folk, blues, rag, jazz, chamber music – a blend as authentic as the source. This concert's guests will include Robinson Morse, bass, Geza Carr, drums, Dan Davine, vibes and percussion, Kelly Ravin, vocals & guitar and Taylor Haskins, evi.
