Pieta Brown is kicking of the 2013 year of shows with a return to CSPS on Friday, January 18th. She's bringing with her The Sawdust Collective which is her regular collaborators Bo Ramsey on guitars and backing vocals and Jon Penner on bass. The last time I saw Pieta at CSPS was during the Acoustic Cafe show in January of last year along with Kelly Joe Phelps and Carrie Rodriguez ( my pictures here ). Since then, both Pieta and Bo contributed songs to the Iowa City Song Project album- a local-artists tribute to the [...]

Red House Records officially announced this week that they have pressed The Pines' latest album Dark So Gold on vinyl, available Tuesday, July 17th. This is the second vinyl release from Red House Records since they decided to get back into the vinyl game with Pieta Brown's One and All release. That release was a beautiful 180g pressing with a variation on the CD cover art. I was concerned that they weren't going to continue doing vinyl when Brown's Mercury album [...]

Ms. Pieta Brown is bringing her "artist in residence" show called "This Land Is Your Music" back to The Mill Restaurant in Iowa City on April 14th, 2012. In a similar fashion to the last two the show will feature Pieta as the headliner with other artists with local ties opening and a gallery exhibit. This year, the event has been condensed into one show-Â but it is a powerhouse bill shared with The Pines and is a weekend show. Pieta's set will be with a backing band that she is calling The [...]
Though we don't get this fantastic show on Iowa Public Radio, Acoustic Cafe is an independently-produced 2-hour radio show hosted by Rob Reinhart focusing on a wide variety of music, but tending to center on the "unplugged" side of things. Acoustic Cafe also sponsors a tour, and for some of the dates on their evening tour Pieta Brown is joining the 2nd half of the run replacing Erin McKeown in the lineup with also includes Carrie Rodriguez (who Pieta toured with in 2011) and Kelly Joe Phelps . This is the [...]
Here we are in the final month of 2011 and it is time for the Top lists. I started this last year for the first time , and I think it was a pretty good exercise. 2011 for me personally was a time of change- I was laid off from a job I had for over 13 years and spent most of 2011 unemployed. As I write this, I'm happily employed, though I'm having to deal with the fallout of being unemployed for so long. If it wasn't for the friends and contacts I made through this [...]
"I Want It Back" arrives via Mercury , the superb, intimate -- and, well, mercurial -- new album from alt/folk and Americana songwriter Pieta Brown . "The song itself is a simple love song about longing," says the soft-spoken Iowan as she dedicates the song to the Occupy movement, "...about wanting things back...like the feeling of a coherent country--a country where people from different places and ways of thinking try to work together..." After Brown toured with former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler -- who describes Brown's singing as [...]

If I had to-and I mean, had to-pick one Season as my favorite, it'd be Fall. Why, you ask? Well, why not? The foliage, the fashion, the faint and freckled ending of a Summer filled with love... I know it sounds silly now, but a long walk on the beach would pale in comparison to a tree-lined street, so forget about showing off your ridiculous tan-line and put some warmer clothes on. Let's share this moment of clarity as we finally take our sunglasses off. Yes, it's the end of impulsiveness and the beginning [...]
It's my birthday week, so the releases have kind of taken a backseat to cake, drinks and *other* forms of merriment. Traditionally, my birthday has been pretty good for new releases, and this year is no different. There's the latest from Wilco, Matthew Sweet, metal purveyors Mastodon, along with new ones from Dum Dum Girls, Dan Mangan, Dominant Legs, Twin Sister, Spank Rock, Van Hunt, Craig Wedren, Kasabian, VHS or Beta, Sleeper Agent, Pieta Brown, the Knux along with the return of veterans like The Bangles, Mekons and Daryl Hall. Meanwhile, reissues this week include the big deluxe 20th anniversary [...]
Even when she sings about being on fire, she does so in measured tones and compares herself to an oak or maple leaf that changes colors in the fall. Pieta Brown fans know what to expect from her records. Sure, she may sing a country roots song, then follow it with a blues number or let it bleed into folk or alternative rock, but, despite the differences in genre, each track seems thoroughly grounded in Brown's whispery style. Her soft vocals create a gossamer web. Whether she's got the blues, getting down and dirty, or just observing the world [...]
