P e r f or m e r s Anders Parker Anders Parker is a singer/songwriter from Burlington, VT. Fourteen years into his career, Bladen County Records is proud to announce the release of his twelfth album — the double concept LP Skyscraper Crow. The Crow portion of the set is unadorned acoustic folk simplicity at its finest, and Skyscraper is totally computer-generated laptop pop. While the albums are, at least aesthetically, diametrically opposed, both remain distinctly the work of Parker.

Django Haskins Described variously as “an intersection of Randy Newman’s gruff flamboyance, Nick Cave’s gothic élan and Leonard Cohen’s pithy wisdom” and “a pop stylist, with a quick lyrical wit and a card shark’s finesse in delivering a hook,” Durham, NC based songwriter and author Django Haskins makes mongrel American music.

Andy Kleindienst In addition to his warm tone and disciplined expression, it is Andy Kleindienst’s versatility on the trombone that is most notable. From jazz to classical, latin to funk, folk to slash metal, he has played it all. Through constant study and transcription of all genres of music, Andy is always in search of new ideas, great sounds, and the challenge of making quality music.

BIRDS and ARROWS Birds and Arrows create unique music that is “full of romance and energy,” “enchanting,” and “the kind you fall in love with.” The trio, based in Chapel Hill, NC, is Andrea Connolly (vocals and guitar), Pete Connolly (vocals and drums) and Josh Starmer (cello), and together they create a rich sound that is much more than the sum of their parts. The romance between Andrea and Pete’s voices is distinctly captivating and intertwines with beautiful yet haunting cello melodies. Birds and Arrows accomplish an elegant, warm sound that is truly their own.

Toubab Krewe Toubab Krewe is an American instrumental band which fuses the music of Mali with American musical styles (particularly those of the southern United States). The group’s instrumentation includes kora (21-string harp-lute), kamelengoni (12-string harp-lute), soku (Malian horsehair fiddle), two electric guitars, electric bass guitar, drum set, and African percussion. The group, which is based in Asheville, North Carolina, was founded in early 2005 and has traveled to West Africa several times, working with local musicians.

Kairaba Kairaba is composed of Senegalese griot musician Diali Keba Cissokho, with North Carolinians John Westmoreland, Jonathan Henderson, Austin McCall, and Will Ridenour. The outcome of this collaboration is an infectious sound reminiscent of West African dance bands full of unison melody, adventurous improvisation, fiery solos, and polyrhythmic frameworks.
