The first time I heard Gretchen Lohse‘s music I was literally left breathless. Her new album Primal Rumble is a minimalist folk record that highlights her beautiful voice and honest lyrics with no pretense or affectation. We invited Gretchen to perform at Trans Pecos based solely on hearing the record — its that good. And to our delight, she accepted and rounded out a terrific bill of powerful female performers. As expected, Gretchen’s set was short on any kind of bells and whistles and long on talent and emotion. We expect that she will reach wider audiences in the not too distant future, but for her first ever solo show in NYC, we can say we were there back then.

acidjack recorded this set in the same manner as the Larkin Grimm recording, with Schoeps MK5 cardiod microphones in the ORTF wide-angle configuration at the stage lip, and a soundboard feed. Other than some volume adjustments that are evident during “Twisted Apples”, the sound quality is  outstanding. Enjoy!

NYCTaper Presents: Shilpa Ray, Larkin Grimm & Gretchen Lohse at Trans Pecos – Wed Feb 26

TransPecos 2-26

We are very excited to present three outstanding female artists each of whom approach modern music from a different perspective. This Wednesday at Trans Pecos, details below.

Our headliner is the unique Shilpa Ray, who will be performing with a scaled-down version of her excellent band the Happy Hookers. Shilpa recently released a new EP following an extensive tour of Europe in support of Nice Cave. She kept an ongoing journal of her exploits in Europe and it was one of my favorite reads during the Fall. Follow Shilpa on Facebook to read her entertaining and compelling Europe adventure.

In support for this show, we’re happy to welcome back the indescribable Larkin Grimm. After her departure from Young God Records and a terrific self-released album (we covered the CD release show), Larkin took some time off to raise her baby son. We are fortunate that she’s back performing live, and after a couple of smaller gigs this month, this show will be a coming out party of sorts for this incredible performer.

Gretchen Lohse is a young woman from Philadelphia who is going places. She released her debut solo album Primal Rumble in December and the rave reviews have been piling in — and well deserved. Its an intense personal folk album that conjures up comparison to early Sharon Van Etten.

Trans Pecos is the new ToddP venue located in the old Silent Barn space.
