![[Festivals] Fareveller Music Festival March 24-26 in Memphis](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3305373_lg.jpg)
In 2011, those familiar might think a city with a wealth of musical history and significance such as Memphis would tout an equally wealthy list of music festivals and gatherings. There are at several notables that each have broad appeal - Goner Records' annual Gonerfest , the Folk Alliance International Conference which takes place every February, and the Beale Street Music Festival every May all come to mind. But Brandon Herrington - a Memphis native & member of local band This Is Goodbye - could see that something was missing. [...]
Star & Micey are a rambunctious crew combining a banjo, accordion, violin, guitar, bass, and drums...oh and pirates too. Their last album is just $5 on bandcamp and was released in 2009. Hopefully there is a new one on the way. While we wait there's their single "Back to the Night" which I am loving. It's a little rowdy and just plain fun, the kind of song you want to raise your glass to while shouting along. Make sure to watch the video after the jump, it's new and full of pirates and cute kids.

Star & Micey - So Much Pain Soulful folk song with obvious Memphis influence.
Memphis folk soul band Star & Micey have upped yet another freebie. The Dockside Demos EP contains four songs that weren't included on their self-titled debut album . They sound pretty smooth and it makes you wonder why a track like Taylor was shelved. I Love You on the other hand is a bit too schmaltzy, not unlike the Alessi Brothers, but sung in a lower register. Tracks: There Is A Love (Demo) I Think [...]
Download: Mercy (live) by Star and Micey Sure I'll post your music if you're a band that follows me on Twitter... why not? Especially if it's as solid as Star and Micey . They're a Memphis based folk pop band signed to Ardent. Mercy is a live track recorded at Ardent studios. Ardent is famous for recording a bunch of awesome stuff including Big Star and the Replacements.
Are they twee? Precious? Cute? Yes. Talented as well? Definitely yes. Star & Micey's self titled debut album is chok full of: - Touching, funny, touchy-feely lyrics. On "Salvation Army Clothes," a jilted lover says, "You're a fool for letting all the good people go/Like Salvation Army clothes." - Great guitar work. See the break on "Salvation Army clothes." - Neat guest stars like Luther "The Black Crowes" Dickinson; Jody "Big Star" Stephens; and Rick "Lucero" Steff. - Terrific vocals, with range and emotion. You can practically hear the tears on "So [...]
Broken-hearted folk, power pop and soul Ardent Studios , famed both for their original productions by Big Star and the raft of overflow sessions hosted for Stax, is still a working concern. Recent visitors have included Robyn Hitchcock, Klaus Voorman, Jack White and many more local, national and international luminaries. Less well-known is that the Ardent Music record label provides a modern day parallel to the original Ardent Records upon which Big Star's albums and singles were released. The label's latest is the debut by Star & Micey, [...]

Here are some thoughts on music I could get to properly this week: Carolyn Mark, Let's Just Stay Here Recorded with N.Q. Arbuckle, this album is full of warm, roots rock. If you like your Canadian imagery in your music this one's for you. With lyrics like "it's hard to be a good man listening to the Drive-By Truckers" how can you go wrong? Mark also has a new cookbook out this week. Carolyn
Star & Micey are a Memphis band that sound like vintage folk soul group of the early Seventies. Geoff Smith had written a song about his ex (called Micey), ran into Joshua Cosby and the seeds for a band were sown. They became a trio after enlisting Nick Redmond on lead guitar. Their self-titled debut is a sad record that sounds cheerful. They laid down the tracks at Ardent Studios, a facility renowned for great recordings by Isaac Hayes, The White Stripes and Led Zeppelin. Inviting a host of guests [...]
