The
Burning Desire String Band is composed of musicians Marc Mueler, Bob
Lucas,
Frederic Park and Bob Willoughby. Frederic Park is not only a
photographer (see
below), but he is also the leader of group. I shot this little video in
Pontlevoy at the Commerce in 2006. The Band came and made the whole pub
dance
for hours.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voco Moira Smiley is not only extremely
talented, musically admirable, smart, beautiful, sensual and generous,
she is also one of the leading souls of VOCO, one of the most amazing
acapella groups of this century. The music is powerful and emotional
with lush harmony and the delicious vaudevillian combo of cello,
accordion and banjo. Sprinkled throughout their songs are
rompin stompin' body percussion sets - always a show-stopping pleasure.
Voted #1 acapella band in the U.S.,
the four members of VOCO : Moira Smiley :
composer/arranger/vocals, accordion, banjo, bp Jess Basta : vocals, body percussion
- Jessica Catron : cello, vocals, body
percussion - Christine Enns : vocals, body
percussion
Together, they create post-folk,
improvisation-built songs while digging into old Americana and Eastern
European sounds. Their repertoire includes original music and new
fruits from the old songs. This sequence xas shot by my friend
Jim Whitney during Sweet Chariot 2007
