Mary Fahl returns to The Flash in Kennett Square this weekend.<\/p><\/div>\n

In the wide world of rock music, there is a lot of songs that are copy cats, a lot of musicians who are sound-alikes and a lot of generic music everywhere.<\/p>\n

But, there are also musicians who are truly unique.<\/p>\n

No-one plays guitar like Jeff Beck. The Cream\u2019s Ginger Baker has a drum style that can never be duplicated.\u00a0\u00a0Flea has a truly distinctive way of playing bass whether it\u2019s with the Chili Peppers or as a session musician.<\/p>\n

And, there are a handful of vocalists that can truly be considered unique.<\/p>\n

Mary Fahl, who will be performing on December 13 at The Flash (102 Sycamore Alley, Kennett Square, 484-732-8295,\u00a0http:\/\/www.kennettflash.org<\/a>), is one of them. Once you\u2019ve heard Fahl sing, you have her voice burned permanently into your memory bank. From that point on, if you hear a song by Fahl, you immediately know who is singing.<\/p>\n

In 2011, Fahl recorded her own version of one of rock\u2019s all-time classics — Pink Floyd\u2019s \u201cDark Side of the Moon.\u201d Fahl re-interpreted the songs on an album she titled \u201cFrom the Dark Side of the Moon.<\/p>\n

Fahl, who was a member of the October Project 20 years ago, went solo in 2001. Prior to this year, her recorded output as a solo artist has been slim —\u00a0\u201cLenses of Contact\u201d EP in 2001, \u201cThe Other Side of Time\u201d album in 2003, \u201cClassics for a New Century\u201d in\u00a0<\/em>2003 and \u201cFrom the Dark Side of the Moon\u201d<\/em> in 2011.<\/p>\n

This year, she released her new album \u201cLove and Gravity\u201d on\u00a0Rimar Records and followed with \u201cMary Fahl: Live from Mauch Chunk Opera House\u201d — a project that included a live album, a performance DVD and a PBS special. Fans can expect to hear a number of tunes from the Floyd-influenced album and \u201cLove and Gravity\u201d at The Flash this weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cI play the Kennett Flash once a year — usually at this time of year,\u201d said Fahl, during a phone interview Monday from her home in Upper Bucks County. \u201cIt\u2019s always in the winter. The last time I played there was with a full band but this time will be a solo show.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy solo shows are very intimate. They can be very impromptu. With a full band, it always has to be more structured. When I\u2019m playing solo, I can talk about songs and I can take the music in any direction I want. I have a really varied repertoire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many of Fahl\u2019s fans have been with her ever since her time with October Project which lasted from 1993-1996.<\/p>\n

\u201cOctober Project had a large body of work and I still perform some of those songs in my live show,\u201d said Fahl. \u201cIf I don\u2019t do some of those songs, fans get upset. I also do songs from the Pink Floyd record and several compositions from my solo records.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll always have a new song I like to introduce. And, I like doing interesting covers. Putting together a set list can be difficult now and then because of the limited amount of time on stage. My sets usually are between 75 and 90 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

For many artists, the task of re-inventing songs from an album as iconic as \u201cDark Side of the Moon\u201d could have been too much of a challenge. Not so for Fahl who crafted a disc that honored its roots but established an identity all its own.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter making the Sony classical album (\u201cClassics for a New Century\u201d), I wanted to do something that was fun,\u201d said Fahl. \u201cAn independent filmmaker I knew wanted to use me in a performance piece. I wanted to do something that I didn\u2019t have the ability to write.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I decided to do the \u2018Dark Side\u2019 recording. It\u2019s like a classical piece of music. I did not intend to make a cover record. It\u2019s my version and it doesn\u2019t sound at all like Pink Floyd\u2019s version. But, a lot of die-hard Pink Floyd fans have responded well. They like the album — and my live versions of the songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy show at The Flash will be my last gig of 2014. After a break for the holidays, I have more than 30 gigs lined up starting in January. But, I don\u2019t go out for weeks at a time. The demographics for my music are all over the place but my typical audience is a Friday-Saturday-Sunday audience. That works out well for me too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fahl\u2019s new album includes \u201cExiles\u201d, a song written for Anne Rice\u2019s new audiobook \u201cThe Wolves of Midwinter.\u201d Fahl and Rice are fans of each other\u2019s work. Rice mentions both Fahl and an October Project song (\u201cTake Me as I Am\u201d) in the \u201cThe Wolves of Midwinter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA character in the book is haunted by a song I sing,\u201d said Fahl. \u201cThen, Anne asked me to write a song for the audiobook version. I love writing for movies. I like getting into the minds of characters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fahl has written and performed songs for several major motion pictures, including the lead song (\u201cGoing Home\u201d) for the Civil War epic \u201cGods and Generals.\u201d Her music can also be found on the original soundtrack of the 2003 movie \u201cThe Guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s show at The Flash will get underway at 8 p.m. with opening act Brooke Falls. Tickets are $27 in advance and $32 day of show.<\/p>\n

On December 12, The Flash will present a performance by Elvis impersonator Bob Lougheed. The schedule for December 13 also has a free screening of the movie \u201cElf\u201d at noon. The matinee show on December 14 will feature more area favorites — Lizanne Knott, Dan May, Jen Creed, and Cole Redding — and the evening concert features the Reminders and Keith Mack.<\/p>\n

\"promiscuo\"<\/a>

Laura Promiscuo<\/p><\/div>\n

While Fahl\u2019s concert features a singer whose career spans more than two decades, another concert in the area this weekend will feature a singer whose career spans less than two years. On December 13, West Chester\u2019s Laura Promiscuo will headline a show at Chaplin\u2019s (66 North Main Street, Spring City, 610-792-4110,\u00a0http:\/\/chaplinslive.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was growing up, there was always singing going around in our home,\u201d said Promiscuo, during a phone interview Monday afternoon. \u201cMy grandfather had an operatic voice and my father sang. My family listened to opera, classical music, classic rock — and a lot of Disney music.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to play viola at a young age. I even played viola in the high school orchestra. I attended Penn State University as a voice major. I was in an a capella group there. That\u2019s what inspired me to start writing — and to become a solo artist. I was a voice major but I didn\u2019t want to just sing opera or classical. I liked all different kinds of music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diversity has played a major role in Promiscuo\u2019s musical development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I started songwriting, I was writing soul music, pop songs, R&B and soulful songs,\u201d said Promiscuo, who trained with world renowned artists\u00a0including international tenor, Maestro Antonio Conte Pugliese, and Arlene\u00a0Shrut, head vocal coach at The Julliard School.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always very influenced by the Doors, Ani DiFranco, Ella Fitzgerald and Mariah Carey. Other influences are Tina Turner, Otis Redding and Sam & Dave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Promiscuo\u2019s love of the music of the Doors took her down the cover band path for a period of time in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was touring with the Soul Kitchen Collective for awhile,\u201d said Promiscuo, who played field hockey and lacrosse at West Chester Henderson. \u201cThey\u2019re a Doors tribute band. In 2013, I decided to go solo and changed my name from Laura Mills to Laura Promiscuo.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother\u2019s maiden name is Promiscuo and I really took pride in my grandfather\u2019s name. I\u2019ve been performing live forever but my first show as Laura Promiscuo was at Pietro\u2019s Prime in West Chester in August 2013.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think of myself as a higher level performer than someone just strumming a guitar onstage. A lot of people call me a chanteuse. I stand there like a night club singer but my original music is more pop-oriented.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now, Promiscuo is promoting her new album \u201cChasing\u00a0Down the\u00a0Dream,\u201d which was recorded with Grammy-winning producer\u00a0Tim Sonnefeld at Milkboy Records.\u00a0It features eight of\u00a0her original songs, including \u201cCloser To You,\u201d \u201cWater Is\u00a0Wide,\u201d \u201cTake Me As I Am\u201d and \u201cSweet Lovin\u2019 Boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at Chaplin\u2019s will start at 8 p.m. with three opening acts — Covers, Dear You and Brosef Gordon Levit. Tickets are $10 online and $12 at the door. On December 12, Chaplin\u2019s will present a comedy show featuring Chris Smith.<\/p>\n

\"downing-3\"<\/a>

Will Downing<\/p><\/div>\n

If Promiscuo is in the mood to hear live music in the genre that inspired her so much, she should head to the Keswick Theatre (291 N. Keswick Avenue, Glenside, 215-572-7650,\u00a0www.keswicktheatre.com<\/a>) on December 14 to attend the concert by Will Downing.<\/p>\n

Downing, who has been dubbed \u201cThe Prince of Sophisticated Soul,\u201d has established himself as a top-of-the-bill musician in both R&B and jazz circles. He is currently touring in support of his new album \u201cEuphoria.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have no real preference — jazz or R&B — it all depends on my mood,\u201d said Downing, during a phone interview Tuesday afternoon from his home in North Jersey. \u201c\u2018Euphoria\u2019 was more of a jazz-tinged project.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then all my projects are on the fence between contemporary jazz and R&B. The key is that there are no boundaries. Listeners today don\u2019t listen to full albums. They listen in bits and pieces. So, music can be just about anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was selecting songs to record for \u2018Euphoria\u2019, there was no rhyme or reason to how I did it. I\u2019d talk to different songwriters to see what they had. If I like it, then we\u2019re good. I do write some songs but not a lot. I\u2019ll write when I have to.\u201d<\/p>\n

A career in music was never in Downing\u2019s early plans.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt happened because of a series of strange events,\u201d said Downing. \u201cI was always interested in music. When I was in high school, a teacher heard me singing in the choir and asked me to join a chorus. I went — and I started liking it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, I got recruited to an arts high school. I went to college and got into music more. I started networking in the early 1980s and began singing backup vocals for other artists\u2019 records in 1988.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was also in 1988 that Downing released his first album \u201cWill Downing\u201d on Island Records. The rest is history.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Euphoria\u2019 was project number 17,\u201d said Downing. \u201cI\u2019ve already started working on the next project. The new album is about 60 per cent done.\u201d<\/p>\n

Downing knows that he is fortunate to be able to sing — or even walk or talk — considering his medical history.<\/p>\n

In 2007, Downing was diagnosed with polymyositis, a chronic inflammation of the muscles with serious symptoms including severe pain with marked weakness and loss of muscle mass in the muscles of the head, neck, torso and upper arms and legs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a serious weight loss and was down to 115 pounds,\u201d said Downing. \u201cIt was serious and life-threatening. There were times when I wondered if I was going to make it. I\u2019ve gone through therapy and strong treatments. I even had to learn how to walk again. But, it\u2019s getting better. I\u2019m about 80 per cent back now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Downing\u2019s show at the Keswick will begin at 8 p.m. with special guest Carol Riddick. Tickets are $44.50 and $57.50.<\/p>\n

Other shows at the Keswick this weekend are Tyler Oakley\u2019s Slumber Party on December 12 and a twin bill featuring the Four Tops and the Temptations on December 13.<\/p>\n

\"benevento<\/a>

Marco Benevento<\/p><\/div>\n

Another musician playing the area this weekend whose music spans genres is Marco Benevento, who will be performing on December 12 and 13 at Johnny Brenda\u2019s (1201 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, 215-739-9684,\u00a0www.johnnybrendas.com<\/a>). Showtime is 8 p.m. each night and tickets range from $15-$28.<\/p>\n

\u201cLast month was a really busy month,\u201d said Benevento, during a phone interview Tuesday from his home in Woodstock, New York. \u201cI\u2019ve had the last 10 days at homed here in Woodstock. So, I\u2019ve been recording some new music and working on recharging my batteries.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benevento\u2019s earliest recordings were back in the early 2000s as part of the Benevento\/Russo Duo with drummer Joe Russo. He released his first solo album \u201cInvisible Baby\u201d in 2008. Benevento\u2019s latest album is \u201cSwift,\u201d which just came out in September.<\/p>\n

\u201cI probably won\u2019t put out another record for another two years,\u201d said Benevento, whose music has been influenced by seminal electronic rock bands such as Kraftwerk, Can and Neu.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven a record every two years is a lot. I don\u2019t want to go crazy and oversaturate. We recorded \u2018Swift\u2019 in March out in Oregon. We\u2019re playing all of that music now in our live shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benevento has written, arranged and played his mostly instrumental songs and led his band from behind his customized piano and bank of drum machines, sequencers, keyboards and pedals. Prior to \u201cSwift,\u201d Benevento had never sung his own songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI never liked my own voice,\u201d said Benevento. \u201cIt\u2019s too deep. I like the Robert Plant\/David Bowie voice — the higher singing voice — so I never got into singing that much. I was self-conscious about it. On my \u2018Tiger Face\u2019 album, I had female vocals. I used Kalmia Traver from Rubblebucket on two songs. When I was working on \u2018Swift,\u2019 I had my phone in hand to call Kalmia but then I realized that the vocals would be missing in my live shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, I realized that now was the time to do it because I liked the songs with the vocals. Still, there aren\u2019t many live vocals in the show. I made four records prior and all were instrumental. So, the majority of the set is still instrumental.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benevento\u2019s diverse fan base has always been more interested in the songs not the singing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy demographic is really varied,\u201d said Benevento. \u201cMy fans come from rock, jazz, jam band, electronic music and modern rock. It\u2019s mostly a younger crowd. I have the jam band audience because I\u2019ve played a lot of jam band festivals. I\u2019ve also played a lot of electronic music festivals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"powers-3\"<\/a>

Kerri Powers<\/p><\/div>\n

This weekend will mark the area debut for Kerri Powers. The talented singer-songwriter from New England will headline a show on December 12 at Burlap and Bean Coffeehouse (204 South Newtown Street Road, Newtown Square, 484-427- 4547,\u00a0www.burlapandbean.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Powers\u2019 seeds of creativity began germinating when she was really young.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been very creative,\u201d said Powers, during a phone interview Tuesday from her home in central Connecticut. \u201cI got my first guitar when I was eight. At the time, I was also writing stories and illustrating them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was always a lot of music in our house. My mom would listen to artists like Neil Young, Janis Joplin and Creedence Clearwater Revival. My dad was listening to classic country acts such as Merle Haggard and Tammy Wynette. When I was nine, I started taking guitar lessons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started writing songs at a really young age — not that the songs were that good. I grew up in East Taunton (Massachusetts) which was a very rural area. I lived near the railroad tracks. I walked down a dirt road to take my guitar lessons.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powers, who has a son that is 21 years old, grew up far removed from urbanization and long before cell phones, texting and the internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always considered to be shy,\u201d said Powers. \u201cI was reclusive. But, I had my music. I started playing coffee houses when I was around 13 and also played some country music festivals. I\u2019ve been making music for a long time. I had to take time off for various reasons.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had to raise my son who is now studying journalism at the University of Connecticut.\u00a0\u00a0But, music never left me. I always had music. It was where I turned to all along. It\u2019s brought me a lot of comfort overall. I continued to write and play but more on a personal level. I decided to take baby steps and ended up making an album.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was pushed to go into the recording studio by my husband. We found this amazing studio in Chester, Connecticut — an analog studio called Dirt Floor Studio. It\u2019s owned by Eric Lichter and he produced my album. We recorded the album last fall and it was released in January 2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

Powers\u2019 album is simply titled \u201cKerri Powers.\u201d Some of the other acts who have cut albums at Dirt Floor are Susan Cowsill, Hannah Fair, Ian Fitzgerald and Elli Perry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just taking things one day at a time,\u201d said Powers. \u201cIt\u2019s great to be playing — great to be making music. Without it, I\u2019m not a whole person.\u201d<\/p>\n

Showtime for Powers\u2019 concert at Burlap and Bean will be 8 p.m. with Ben Arnold as the opener. Tickets are $15. Other shows at the venue are Winterpills and John Mallinen on December 11 and Twin Ghost and Megan Burtt on December 13.<\/p>\n

\"ghost<\/a>

The Ghost Inside<\/p><\/div>\n

On December 14, The Ghost Inside will visit the area for a show at TLA (334 South Street, Philadelphia, 215-922-1011,\u00a0www.tlaphilly.com<\/a>) — a show in which they will share the bill with Every Time I Die. Tickets are $20 for the 6:30 p.m. show that also features\u00a0Architects,\u00a0Hundredth\u00a0and Backtrack.<\/p>\n

The Ghost Inside skirts a number of genres and sub-genres — metalcore, power pop, heavy metal, melodic hardcore, hard rock and even a bit of emo. Unlike many of the metal bands, The Ghost Inside has songs that feature clean vocals in addition to ones that are out-and-out screamers.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles-based band began as a group of friends in El\u00a0Segundo who shared a passion for hardcore music. The group is known for personal vocals, frantic riffing and slamming breakdowns — with a sense of melody. The quintet features Jonathan Vigil (vocals),\u00a0<\/strong>Aaron Brooks (guitar),\u00a0<\/strong>Zach Johnson (guitar),\u00a0<\/strong>Jim Riley (bass)\u00a0and Andrew Tkaczyk (drums).<\/p>\n

The Ghost Inside\u2019s new album \u201cDear Youth\u201d was just released on November 17 on Epitaph Records. The band\u2019s debut album \u201cFury and the Fallen Ones\u201d came out in 2008.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur sound just came with time,\u201d said Vigil, during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Salt Lake City. \u201cWe\u2019ve played together so long. We just keep trying to push the envelope. From the first record to this record was a big progression.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did the recording on-and-off throughout last year. We tour a lot so we just record when we can. We like touring so much that we\u2019ve stayed on the road for almost a year. In the past, we\u2019d take a month off and record in a big block.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new album is a little different. The actual sound is better. And topic-wise, it\u2019s a lot different. The record is a little more frustrated but the songs are uplifting. They tell you not to let people push you around.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve traveled a lot and seen a lot of different cultures. It struck me how some people in other parts of the world need so little to be happy. They don\u2019t need fancy cars or other possessions like that. It made me realize how lucky I am. I saw things happening with the world and put it on paper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even though the band has just released a new album, it will not play a set dominated by new tunes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been holding off playing new songs,\u201d said Vigil. \u201cWe have started to play the two singles — \u2018Avalanche\u2019 and \u2018Dear Youth (Day 52).\u2019 People need time to get used to listening to new songs before they hear them live. So, we\u2019re going to wait for the record to sit a little.\u201d<\/p>\n

The schedule for the Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Avenue, Sellersville, 215-257-5808,\u00a0www.st94.com<\/a>) includes Irish Christmas in America on December 11, Cheryl Wheeler and Patty Larkin on December 12, Jane Siberry on December 13, Bill Kirchen on December 14 and Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. on December 17.<\/p>\n
