{"product_id":"shadows-in-the-banquet-hall","title":"Shadows In The Banquet Hall","description":"About the Artist\n\nCarbon Leaf dubs their sound \"Ether-Electrified Porch Music.\" This Richmond, VA acoustic-electric-mandolin rock band is cultivating a grass-roots audience on the college and club scene with a raucous mix of Celtic, groove, jazz, roots and pop music.\n...To Get Acquainted\nFrom backyard barbecue days to college and university shows up the East Coast, this independent, Virginia band is gaining fans from its home state and beyond with an eclectic stew of vivid lyrical imagery, strong melodic vocals and harmonies, ambitious and varied acoustic and electric guitar styles, solid-groove bass lines on both the electric and double bass, colorfully percussive drums, mandolin, tin whistle and harmonica.\nCarbon Leaf's appeal is the diversity with which they approach their music. The band takes strides to explore - and combine - different styles of music and sounds; fusing groove, jazz, traditional bluegrass and Irish music, roots rock, pop and progressive rock. Their sound is that they have no pigeon-holed \"Sound\"....\nIt's been said that if Phish, Primus, R.E.M., Bill Monroe, Dave Matthews Band, Neil Young, Morphine and the Pogues had a love child, they might call it Carbon Leaf!\nCarbon Leaf's live shows are as spirited as their songs. The band's music takes on a whole new dimension live, with spontaneity being the mother of re-invention. Running the gamut from evocative and sublime, to upbeat and carefree - a positive, fun vibe is the rule of thumb at a Carbon Leaf show, and the high-energy, engaging presence and sound the band emotes will appeal to anyone who is up for a good time. This is not a background-music band!\nWith successful word-of-mouth campaigning and a play schedule averaging 14 shows a month, Carbon Leaf is forging an ever-growing fan base throughout their home state of Virginia and beyond. Formed in college four years ago, Carbon Leaf is rapidly becoming a prominent talent in the Virginia Music Scene. LISTEN UP!\n\nProduct Description\n\nElectric-Acoustic Mandolin Rock. Rock music with Celtic, Country, Blugrass and Jazz influences.\n\nFrom the Artist\n\nA wide range of musical styles and song writing is expressed on this Richmond band's second independent album. Often haunting - yet always uplifting - Shadows represents equal parts \"ether-electrified\" porch music; hyper-country\/bluegrass tinged pop; blues\/jazz jam concoctions, hints of Irish-traditional influenced rock and the acoustic guitar stripped bare. Colorfully lyrical, musically ambitious in style; Shadows in the Banquet Hall is a cohesive and positive album that brings you into a vibrant landscape, inviting you to share in a celebratory feast of the imagination, and to grin at life's bitter-sweet experiences. 16 page booklet includes unique artwork for each songs lyrics.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00003YSMD\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00003YSMD.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carbon Leaf\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
