Indie Alt-Rocker Namoli Brennet to Play Rio Grande Theatre
One of the most original and exciting voices to emerge on the music scene in recent years is singer/songwriter Namoli Brennet. Currently receiving rave reviews for her seventh independent release, Until From This Dream I Wake—called “gorgeous and introspective” by Zocalo Magazine and “remarkable” by the Windy City Times–Brennet will bring her raw, gritty and achingly poignant stylings to the Rio Grande Theatre, August 21, 2009 at 7:30pm.
Singer/songwriter Namoli Brennet has been relentlessly touring the country in her battered Volvo wagon since the release of her 2002 CD, Boy in a Dress. Based in Tucson, AZ, the enigmatic and colorful Brennet has covered over 30,000 miles and 43 states over the past 7 years, playing cities from San Francisco to New York. In between producing, engineering and releasing 7 CDs on her own label, Flaming Dame Records, she’s shared stages with Melissa Ferrick, Jill Sobule, Michelle Shocked and many others.
Brennet’s seventh self-released disc, Until From This Dream I Wake, has her mining some deeper and more personal emotional territory than we’ve heard in any of her previous releases. A deft storyteller, Brennet now turns her lens inward; the result is a CD filled with a beautiful, aching melancholy that documents the transition from despair to hope. As a songwriter who’s known as a talented lyricist and storyteller, Brennet has a gift for creating vivid characters and situations; on this disc, she’s used those talents to create an intimate self-portrait, with stunning and heartbreaking results.
Doors open at 7pm and the performance begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased via the website at www.RioGrandeTheatre.com.
