Dana Falconberry
Dana Falconberry's music can shift on a dime; from truly quiet, folk-based storytelling to electronically-enhanced, buzzing indie rock (check out her two new demos streaming at MySpace). Perhaps she's still searching for her sound or perhaps she'll be an artist that doesn't settle on any one genre. As a member of the weird folk collective Peter and the Wolf, you might think she'd be tagged with the freak folk moniker, but I haven't seen that description used yet and I'm sure she'd oppose it's limitations.
Her song "Paper Sailboat" was the one that immediately drew me to her work. It's the title track from her latest ep and is a simple, beautiful song about lost love. The second single, "Sadie", has a more produced feel with cello and moody atmospherics, but is still a song that as Dana points out in her bio deals with "loss and regret." I'm sure you'll hear these two and others when she takes the stage at Cal's Bar (400 S. Wells) at 10pm on Saturday the 14th.
