Denver Venoit (Ole Man Kidd), Danny Bell and His Disappointments and Amy Nelson live at the Ironwood Stage and Grill on Sep. 5th!
Danny Bell and His Disappointments: Folk-psych
Amy Nelson: Appalachian-style blues
Denver Venoit: Country blues songwriter
Like a conduit of voices from the past, Amy Nelson reverentially channels the sounds of depression-era blues and Appalachian mountain music while adding a distinct prairies twist.
Denver Venoit, known in these parts as Ole Man Kidd, lassos lonesome tunes from the heavens that’ll rattle your spurs and splash cold water on your face. Hailing from up north in The Yukon, Denver began touring across North America as a drummer, acquiring an unquenchable taste for travel along the way. He caught the blues the day his best friend died in his arms in a house fire in Montreal, and he has been wearing a cowboy hat and writing Folk, Country, Blues songs ever since.
Danny Bell and His Disappointments combine folk songwriting with psych and punk influences. Exclaim! Magazine called their last full-length album an “anti capitalist, anti-elitist, anti-asshole folk record for small moments in small places.” Danny’s music is regional. It’s steeped in his affection for his home in the hinterland, a blue collar town, the stink of the pulp mill, and everyday life in Northern BC.
