The Brewery Arts Center in Carson City will host the musical instrumental ensemble Verviers Pronounced Verviers, the ensemble features cello, guitars, percussion, keys. The set will include all original compositions and feature a few guest soloists bringing in the trumpet and mandolin.
Very special guests for the evening is Ten Dollar Pony. The performance is Saturday, May 21 at 7 p.m. in The Maizie Theater and tickets are $10 in advance, $15 at the door.
Playing with Verviers is Ten Dollar Pony a duo comprised of Larry Nair and Liza Beth Oliveto. Ten Dollar Pony has just released their latest album as a duo, and they certainly have a signature sound.
Sure they’ve got banjo mandolin and dobro on this one, so you might be thinking “bluegrass?” But you’d be wrong. For starters, most of the songs on this CD are underlaid with strong rock drumming and bass, then there’s rock guitar and Reggae licks played on a banjitar, REM flavored mando, swamp soup dobro all mashed up into a country rock gumbo… maybe you better have a taste and you tell me what the genre is.
Larry and Liza Beth’s music is firmly based in a “vocal-centric” and melody driven aesthetic. Their lively blend of original and cover tunes encompasses many styles…folk, pop, blues, and country rock to name a few. Whether delivering intimate and heart wrenching ballads with warm harmonies, or raucous blues, their music ranges from sweet to wryly observant, to perversely funny, all served up with intelligence and wit. They’ve spent a lot of time in the woodshed and on stage together, and it shows.
