THE OLD QUARTER IS A LISTENING ROOM. LOUD CONVERSATION DURING ARTIST'S PERFORMANCE WILL NOT BE TOLERATED. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS WHEN PURCHASING TICKETS TO SHOWS.
Driving along the rattle-gravel roads of some blink-and-you’ll-miss-it town between where you are going and where you’ve been, you will sometimes come across a roadside rummage shop. You’ll pull over for the promise of local honey and heirloom tomatoes painted casually on a plank nailed crookedly to the slanted porch of what was once a house but is now stacked to the rafters with artifacts -- curiosities of times gone by -- ruins and relics priced for the picking. It is this feeling of scraping through the ripped screen door, rifling through rare ephemera, and holding each corked bottle up to the mote-flecked light that Clay Parker and Jodi James capture with their genre-blending brand of sonic storytelling.
Before their artistic paths converged in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in late 2014, Parker and James roamed the musical landscape as lone troubadours, each nurturing their own raw and genuine sound. Now, almost a decade after their first long-distance co-writing collaborations, the distinct sound of the duo has maintained a minimalist yet mercurial quality -- in part by reflecting the ways the artists themselves have changed both together and as individuals. They jokingly refer to themselves as "a band without a name," yet it is this designation of two separate identities that best describes their particular synergy; and the sweetest harmony resides in their ability to abide their own personalities while creating something entirely fresh that is continuously evolving. As noted by Wide Open Country, “It’s an example of two capable solo acts combining forces to discover new ways to celebrate regional roots sounds while creating something markedly modern." With James' country-soul reactiveness and Parker's blue and winding reflectiveness, the resulting sound is a blackout bingo card of Americana.
Gabe doesn’t have as many songs about trains as he thought he would at this point. But, he does have a new record out on Old Quarter Records. It’s a live recording from the historic Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe on Galveston Island. It is a complete snapshot of a Gabe Wootton show.
