The Stitch Coffeehouse Music Series at Old Parish House

This year’s 3-show Coffeehouse series features an eclectic lineup of New Orleans Jazz, Classical violin and Punk Rock! Please note the individual showtimes below...

Sunday April 7, 2013 - Yamomanem (New Orleans Jazz Band)

 http://yamomanemjazzband.bandcamp.com 

Yamomanem has a high-energy repertoire rooted in the 20s and 30s ‘hot-jazz’ styles mixed with a little Caribbean Creole.  Using horns, electric guitars, funky congas and beats of the street, they’re not really a brass band, not really a Dixieland band but a fun blend of styles, bringing forth a flavor of New Orleans music at the root of it all.  

Sunday April 28, 2013 - Gavin Fallow (classical violin performance)

As a professional bassist and violinist Gavin Fallow has performed all over the world and has lived and worked in New York, Amsterdam and Shanghai, China.  Returning to the DC area in 2011 to teach music, Gavin also regularly appears as a principal violinist with Washington Sinfionietta Orchestra, Avanti Orchestra and Metropolitan Orchestra.  

Sunday May 5, 2013 - Beloved Binge (vegan rock duo from Durham, NC)

 Showtime:  music at 6:00PM (film at 4:00PM*)

*Film plus rock show:  Musician and filmmaker Eleni Binge will be screening her documentary called “Seeing Through the Fence” at 4:00PM before Beloved Binge takes the stage. 

Beloved Binge calls their style of music-making “rubble pop rooted in a punk pot”.  Originally based in Seattle, WA the husband and wife duo relocated to Durham, NC nearly 10 years ago to become an integral part of the burgeoning ‘Triangle’ Arts Scene.  Combining their love for eclectic rock music with their passion for promoting awareness, empowerment and compassion for animal rights and community activism, Beloved Binge takes a fun, light-hearted and inclusive approach to their songwriting.  Primarily performing with drums and guitar, the duo also incorporates fun extras like synthesizers, loops, bouzouki and toy instruments, often playing multiple instruments at the same time.  Prior to their set of music, Eleni Binge will give a brief talk and screen a documentary film she produced on her own called “Seeing Through the Fence” which explores the role of food in modern society through a series of humorous and poignant interviews in the US and Greece with her family, ‘random people’ and activists.
