Podcasts about big harp

Chris Senseney and Stefanie Drootin are the songwriting partners behind the trio Big Harp, which has released three albums on the Saddle Creek label that span a variety of genres. The married couple has recently stayed busy as a new band called Umm. Their debut album "Double Worshipper" is out this fall. Umm previewed some music from that forthcoming debut in the CPR Performance Studio. Senseney and Drootin also spoke with Alicia Bruce Mitchell about the origin of the new project, how it differs from Big Harp and their ideal way to release music.

On today’s Garbage Garage, we’re delving into New Year’s resolutions.  Sure, the New Year holiday has come and gone already, and we’re all getting back into the swing of our every day lives, but this is exactly when we need a reminder about our resolutions!  If you lose sight of them this week, you’ll never get them back.  So, we play a set of resolution-inspiration songs, plus, I reveal what mine is (hint: it’s related to Big Harp’s song).  Plus, we’ve got great tracks from Los Straitjackets, Speedy Ortiz, and Reatards on the show today!

Maturing as a musician is a peculiar process. Young bands often have a reputation for playing too loud or too fast. But maturity doesn't necessarily mean quieter or softer songs; it can mean simply that a band or artist's sound evolves over time as their lives inevitably change. Stagnation can spell artistic doom for a musician and some artists have leveraged their evolution into a long and successful career. The duo that makes up Los Angeles' Big Harp are most certainly grownups. They are married and have children, but their inventive brand of indie-noise-folk is anything but grown up boring. Singer/guitarist Chris Senseney's insightful stories are delivered in a warm baritone that is evocative of some strange but effective hybrid of Lyle Lovett and Leonard Cohen. Stefanie Drootin-Senseney's vocals provide a breathy sweetness that complements the sour of her partner's gruff musings, while her fuzzed-out bass brings a whimsical edge that keeps the whole operation from drifting too far into ponderous, introspective songwriter territory. And no matter how they're dressed up in their DIY production, the ten songs on their sophomore release, "Chain Letters" all find a different way to please your music palate.
