| | Kenny Smilovitch Drawing Down The Moon CD Kenny Smilovitch Discography of CDs
Says Umbrella Music: "Smilovitch writes dark, haunting, lean songs; sings them in a clear and distinctive voice; and fingerpicks them so fast, clean and sharp, they light up the darkness like a jarful of fireflies. Smilovitch has lived in Yellowknife, NWT, for a long stretch, and the emotional landscape of these songs is not unlike the physical landscape of the North. Such simple, effective minimalism is one hallmark of truly great songwriting. Nimbly fingerpicked modal scales and ghostly, mournful vocals have rarely sounded so strong or so fresh"."I lived in the Arctic for a period where my music seemed to incorporate more and more space in response to the open northern surroundings. It is these surroundings and the feelings they generate that I try to capture in my playing and writing".

I was born on "the day the music died" Feb. 3, 1959. Buddy Holly's plane crashed in the wee hours of the same morning my mom gave birth to me. Because of my connection to this fateful day, I have always considered my music style to be a reincarnated mix of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Sometime around 1969 I fell in love with the music I was hearing through the earplug of my transistor radio. The songs of The Doors, Neil Young, Chicago and America gave me words for some of the unknown things I was feeling. At age 13, I picked up the guitar and discovered an avenue for self-expression in writing and singing my own songs. Artistic endeavors were my private ambitions. When my parents divorced in 1973, I would rely heavily on these diversions to help me survive the trauma of watching my world blow apart. Over my 50 years of travels and travails, I have written and recorded 8 albums of original music to document my life journey. In 1986, after my brief career as a professional pastor I recorded my self-titled debut album, "Dan Gilliam" and sold about 100 copies to friends and family. The circulation of this cassette helped to open local doors for me in Cincinnati and other Midwestern towns to perform my songs for drug prevention school assemblies. This led to the writing and recording of my second cassette album, "A Good Used Brain is Hard to Find"(1988) containing songs I performed for school audiences in 40 states. Assisted and inspired by my bar-based cover band "Pacer", I recorded "Storms and Love" in 1991, a collection of folk-rock love songs. In 1993, after snooping around the alleyways and back doors of contemporary Christian music, I wrote and recorded "Shake the Walls" which led to many performances at churches and Christian coffee houses. In the ensuing years, I have found myself sharing the stage with many well known Christian artists such as Servant, Rich Mullins, Big Tent Revival, Jennifer Knapp, The Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline, All Star United, Bleach, Sonic Flood, The 77s and Richard Swift. For the most part, however, I have performed my music and told my stories in relative obscurity. "Farm Café", my bare bones 1995 recording was the beginning of me finding my true voice as a singer and songwriter. I sold over 500 copies of this album from the trunk of my car the first year and made a conscious decision that whether of not the world wanted another performing artist I was going to be one. In 1997, shortly after wedding my (ex)wife, Lynn, I traveled to New Haven, In. to record "The Color of God" at Monastic Chambers studio with Jon ...

Much of the music of the Appalachian Mountains had its beginnings in the highlands of Scotland and valleys of Ireland. As new people settled the region the music blended with the rhythms of the native people. The fiddle, an instrument from the Old World, became the tune carrier of choice for home and community dance and for a simple reason—it was easy to haul. A hollow log, hoop of wood and a piece of rawhide made a drum and added the heartbeat to the voice of the fiddle. The tunes in the album are played pretty much like they were back then—plain and simple, fiddle and drum, a song and a heartbeat. Sometimes that’s all you need. Here is a little bit about the songs on this album:1. Rosin the Beau crossed the Atlantic with the Irish. The tune stayed the same but changes of scenery allowed for changes of lyrics. In the Appalachians it is called Rosin the Bow. West of the Rockies it becomes Acres of Clams. A good jig wherever the rosin dust flies. 2. Big John McNeil is a popular tune among the old time fiddlers and dancers of eastern Canada and the U.S. Great for free style clogging!3. The St. Anne’s Reel is a standard among the fiddlers of northeast U.S. and Canada. The Opera Reel is the first reel Bev learned to play.4. You can hear the pipes in the Hills of Glenorchy. It is said that a longing for the sounds of the old homeland prompted fiddlers to imitate the bagpipes on the fiddle through the use of odd double stops and drone strings. Add a drum to the mix and you’re back in the fog shrouded highlands.5. Fiddle and bones create a fine dance tune in the French Canadian favorite the Joys of Quebec. It is well known and often played among the northern fiddlers.6. The haunting melody of Star of County Down was carried across the Atlantic from Ireland. It is a North Country favorite and takes on a woodland Indian color in this fiddle and drum arrangement.7. Bagpipe fiddle and drum take on a military tone in the old time dance favorite, Bonaparte’s Retreat.8. Alas! What if the barley crop failed and there would be no whiskey that year? Neil Gow wrote this lament following a drought ...
