Birch Book (In Gowan Ring), Kathrine Heilesen (Denmark) and The Sugar Pills (local) will be playing at Matrix Coffee House in Chehalis, Washington on Friday November 17th, $8 at the door.
 
     
Assuming the allegorical emblems of The Wheel of Fortune and The Traveling Fool, Fortune & Folly distill the introspections of a perennial rambler reckoning 'the Bitter and the Bliss' of The Road Less Traveled. Fortune & Folly blends elements of idiosyncratic folk-pop and outcast-country with brooding layers of sound and sense, yielding a spectral ethereality in a captivating chiaroscuro thick with the visionary allusions of a haunted wanderer bent upon a mythic path…

 

BIRCH BOOK / IN GOWAN RING

As poet, pilgrim, progenitor of wyrd-folk and maestro of Birch Book, B'ee has developed a homespun sonic tapestry with peculiar richness of vision; recording over ten full length albums and performing throughout North America & Europe amidst a dozen years against the grain.

Variously labeled 'Wyrd', 'Psychedelic' or 'Avant Folk', Birch Book extend roots into poetic-folk traditions while cultivating an inimitable, self-attuned writing style that prefigured the 'New-Psyche-Folk' movement.

Performances and recordings utilize many of B'ee's self-made instruments including the recently constructed 'lyre-guitar' to be featured this evening.

KATHRINE HEILSEN

Hailing from Denmark, Kathrine Heilesen plays a divine mix of old Nordic Folk, medieval and experimental music; variously accompanying herself on harp, guitar, bodhran, davul, & viola.

A robust and windswept traveler, Kathrine brings Scandinavian legends and ballads in her native tongue.
