The Bethany and Rufus Roots Quartet released their new CD “Live À Fip” on October 22nd and they performed tracks from it that same day at Le Trois Mailletz in Paris, France. The quartet released two videos from that performance. This second video is a presentation clip with brief performances of “If I Had My Way,” “Mary Mack,” and “Sail Away Ladies”. While not full presentations of the songs, the enthusiasm, both on the part of the quartet and the audience is obvious. The viewer is immediately connected and is drawn into a feeling of empowerment because of the sheer vigor exuded by the Quartet.

Michael Cornell (director) and Tracey Paleo (executive producer) team up to turn musician Kameron White’s music into visual form. White is the lead singer and composer of the Los Angeles band, Rukas Juice. After hearing Rukas Juice’s “Live My Life,” Cornell and Paleo began to develop and create a video that would take in all the senseless chaos of the economic crisis and spit it back out with a rock-and-roll twist in this smart and witty wake-up call. This rock video for "Live My Life" provides a "light handed, but sharp look at American idealism and the Wall Street bailout in the face of the financial crisis currently rocking the world."

The Bethany and Rufus Roots Quartet not only released their new CD “Live À Fip” on October 22nd, but they performed tracks from it that same day at Les Trois Mailletz in Paris France (a local “cave” where Nina Simone used to play to rehearse for big show). The quartet released two videos from that performance, the first being “Oh, Death” a high energy number where Bethany Yarrow’s strong and passionate voice was accented and matched by Yacouba Moumouni’s vocals which mixed, intensified, and finally climaxed in a most satisfying manner. Backed by the masterful cello playing of Rufus Cappadocia and the rhythmic beats of ‘Bonga’ Jean-Baptiste, the performance was dynamic and powerful.

Indie rock singer/songwriter Kirsten DeHaan performing "1984" from her newly released EP 'Thorns On A Crown.' DeHaan played at The Colony Cafe in Woodstock, NY on the closing night (October 4, 2009) of Woodstock's 40th Anniversary Film Festival. ["1984" skillfully maneuvers its way from beginning to end as DeHaan puts her vocal range along with a knack for soothing tones to good use, singing in a soft, but gutsy manner. The guitar playing over a catchy beat works well with her voice to produce a sultry and graceful fusion of folk and rock.] http://www.kdlocal.com http://kirstendehaan.musicdish.net
