Eileen Rose groeit op in Boston en studeert daar rechten. Tot teleurstelling van haar ouders geeft ze een min of meer zeker bestaan op en vertrekt naar Engeland om daar muziek te gaan maken. Ze is daar niet onmiddellijk succesvol, maar als haar eerste cd Shine Like It Does uitkomt, mag die rekenen op lovende kritieken in de muziekpers. Dat geldt ook voor haar tweede cd Long Shot Noveda, waarvan ook iemand als schrijver Nick Hornby onder de indruk is. Na het uitbrengen van deze plaat, besluit Rose terug te keren naar Boston. Na 9/11 wil ze vaker in de buurt van haar ouders en familie zijn. In de winter van 2003-2004 huurt zij een huis in Martha’s Vineyard waar ze de nummers schrijft voor haar in 2005 verschenen derde cd Come The Storm.
In oktober 2006 is Eileen Rose met haar nieuwe band The Holy Wrecks voor een 4tal optredens[oa. support Southside Johnny in Paradiso en een intieme gig in Maloe Melo] in Amsterdam en voor het eerst in Nederland. Nu met het verschijnen van de nieuwe cd At Our Tables, bij een nieuw label en met een vernieuwde band komt Eileen voor optredens opnieuw naar Nederland :

Mike Gunther


Mike Gunther's primitive and patently American music melds fiery lyricism and unusual instrumentation with traditional elements
of country, blues and soul. On Burn It Down for the Nails (Heart of a Champion), the second full-length release from Mike Gunther
and His Restless Souls, Gunther leads a parade of eclectic players as they romp amid the shadows and    flames of his storytelling.
Gunther's First LP Every Dream Thatʼs Dropped and Died (Heart of A Champion 2003) and charismatic live show garnered the
attention of critics with Gunther named “Best Songwriter” in the City Pages annual Best of the Twin Cities issue. The band was
then nominated for three Minnesota Music Awards. In 2004 Gunther recorded and released a split single with acclaimed songwriter
Eleni Mandell.
Gunther, a Montana native who grew up in Minnesota, put his
musical background this way. “I grew up listening to distant AM
and shortwave radio stations and a sparse collection of records
my folks had. The only instrument my mother owned was a pitch
pipe from teachers college. I heard the music of Robert Johnson on
the radio when I was 14, bought a Harmony guitar with a warped
neck at a garage sale for ten dollars and learned to play. My lack
of understanding and left handed instinct lead me to play it up side
down without restringing. I played here and there, hopped freights,
got scared of hitch hiking, became a diesel mechanic, cab driver,
truck driver, carpenter. So here is where the heart lies kissed off,
vagabond and all the time writing songs for myself.”
Mike Gunther is backed by The Restless Souls, a group of musicians
including: Suzanne Scholten (percussion and trumpet),
Dave Meier (upright bass), and Aaron Larson (guitar, percussion,
and trumpet) and featuring guest performances by Jesse Greene
(violin), Paul Fonfara (clarinet), Martin Devaney (saxophone), and
Luc Parker (percussion). Mike Gunther takes Burn It Down for
the Nails and his Restless Souls cross country and abroad this year
with one eye looking for trouble, the other for mercy.

 

 

Gunther won’t actually save anyone, but lines like “just because I have no faith/don’t mean no promised land” have sinner and saint singing along - Mark Baumgarten, Willamette Week

 

Spooky Stuff indeed.Goldmine magazine

 

Brilliant vaudevillian/medicine show/Baptist revival-esque show of Mike Gunther and His Restless Souls… he and his band really are in a class of their own. Using his versatile voice -- at times gravelly, at times smooth and longingly plaintive, at times the voice of a medicine show barker…many were converted that night, one saying, “That’s how I expect a show to be, but never see!” - Cyn Collins, Howwastheshow.com

 

Un altro "imbonitore" arriva sul proscenio con il suo personale medicine show: Mike Gunther e i fedeli Restless Souls al seguito mette in scena una messa pagana, un misto di vaudeville, teatro dell'assurdo, canti battisti e blues paludoso, che sa tanto di vecchi crocicchi e anime vendute al diavolo. In un paio di occasioni non manca persino di intervallare la sequenza dei brani con veri e propri sermoni recitati, giusto pochi secondi di follia che aiutano a definire meglio il buffo personaggio. Sorta di Chuck E Weiss in versione southern e down home blues, Mike Gunther è un songwriter tutto da scoprire, tra le proposte più interessanti che ci sia capitato di incrociare in tempi recenti nel sottobosco indie americano. Grazie all'olandese Rosa records arriva in Europa, posticipato invece di qualche mese negli States, il suo secondo lavoro, Burn it Down for the Nails, disco che trasuda feeling e si trascina sgraziato attraverso canzoni spigolose che mischiano i fantasmi di Alan Lomax e Robert Johnson - Mike dice di averlo ascoltato la prima volta alla radio a 14 anni - il blues elettrico alla Fat Possum, le polke e le danze tzigane di certo Tom Waits, seguendo poche ma precise linee di confine. Lo asseconda un emsemble ben assortito che alla strumentazione rootsy di Gunther (chitarre, armonica, piano, ukulele, banjo) e Aaron Larson (chitarre, percussioni) aggiunge fiati (sax, tromba, clarinetto) e violino, dando vita ad una sagra paesana. Gunther arriva dalla fredda St. Paul, Minnesota, ma canta come l'ultimo dei predicatori sudisti: voce nervosa, declamatoria e isterica al tempo stesso, adatta i suoi deliri sia al blues elettrico più canonico di No Leg to Stand On sia al dixieland di Easy Money, con una spinta decisiva di clarinetto e banjo. Southern gothic si suol dire oggi, tra il violino (nelle mani di Jesse Greene) straziante di 11 Cents (short) e il finale depresso di You and Hymn, canto disperato per organo e chitarra che avrebbe calzato a pennello in un disco dei Sixteen Horsepower. Tuttavia Burn it Down for the Nails non è solo questo e soprattutto non è una semplice macchietta di certe sonorità: c'è della sostanza insomma, e parecchia dimestichezza in Walk All Over It e Water into Wine, blues viscidi, sporchi e trascinanti, nell'accoppiata di soul zoppicanti e a bassa fedeltà di I Don't Want to Know e The Best Policy, infine nella marcetta Every Night (Every Bastard), sbucata da chissà quale scherzo del tempo. Disco profondo e bizzarro quanto Mike Gunther: uno che si è comprato la sua prima chitarra per dieci dollari, l'ha imparata a suonare da mancino con le corde capovolte e prima di "fare il musicista" ha lavorato come meccanico, tassista, camionista e carpentiere…

Ha, dat is nog eens een prettig verrassing. Het piepjonge Nederlandse Rosa Records (van o.a. onze columnist Frans Lomans, dan weet u tenminste dat er van belangenverstrengeling sprake is!/ Sonic Rendezvous) komt op, op voorspraak van Ben Weaver, de proppen met Burn It Down For The Nails van ene Mike Gunther and His Restless Souls. Deze Mike is een uit St. Paul afkomstige singer/songwriter die ooit priester wilde worden, maar die dat plan, vanwege geneugten als muziek en sex, toch maar lieten varen. Dat hij een aanleg voor het priesterschap had is zeker te horen in Make Way en TR4, twee felle preken die respectievelijk overgaan in een rocknummer en een lome blueskraker. Burn It Down For The Nails biedt u verder een smakelijke cocktail aan van blues, soul, rock en country. Een opvallende rol is er voor Paul Fonfara´s klarinet. Een zenuwenteisterend instrument waar ik normaal gesproken niet naar kan luisteren, maar op deze cd een natuurlijk ingrediënt van het toch al rijkelijk gevulde instrumentarium. In 11 Cents zit b.v. een heerlijke vioolsolo, in No Leg To Stand On een scheurende mondharmonica en geregeld zijn er ook koperblazers te horen. Het geheel is lekker afwisselend en dat maakt dat de cd al is afgelopen voordat je er erg in hebt. Dan zijn er ongemerkt drie kwartier verstreken. Zulks is vaak een indicatie voor goede kwaliteit. Mike Gunther bewijst met deze tweede plaat -een eerste verscheen reeds in 2003- een aanwinst te zijn in het rootscircuit. (Hugo Vogel) altcountry.nl
