The Tall Pines
Saturday, November 14th In the five boroughs of New York City and perhaps in most of our 50 states, there’s no one playing anything quite like the Tall Pines’ ingenious blend of Nashville uptown country and Memphis/Muscle Shoals down-home soul. This fresh and distinctive sound is captured to enchanting effect on the band’s second album, CAMPFIRE SONGS, released in the summer of 2009 on iTunes. The band’s Monkeytown show is a party for The Tall Pines “Make Your Own Campfire Song Video Contest,” and will feature video submissions to the contest as well as a live performance by The Tall Pines. The Tall Pines debut release was praised by National Public Radio (NPR) as one of the Top Ten Best Records of 2007. Featuring uniquely modern songs that recall Nashville Country and Memphis Soul of the late ‘60s and early ‘70s Tall Pines singer Connie Lynn Petruk says “We tell stories with our songs that we hope are universal. We aspire to connect with people everywhere and from all generations who just love great music.” The Tall Pines albums feature stand out performances by Jon Graboff (Ryan Adams, Willie Nelson), Jeremy Chatzky (Bruce Springsteen’s Seeger Sessions Band), and Joe McGinty (Ryan Adams, Devendra Banhart). But the core of The Tall Pines is the intense collaboration between Canadian singer Connie Lynn Petruk and Southern-gentleman songwriter/guitarist Christmas Davis. Connie Lynn has recorded and performed live with David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Perry Farrell, Moby, Joan Jett, Ian Hunter, Ronnie Spector and many more. The Tall Pines bring her powerful voice to the center of the stage, where it belongs. From National Public Radio (NPR):
