Paleface
FRI , Apr 25
@ 9 pm
$10 adv/door
What can you say about a musician who was tutored in songwriting by Daniel Johnston and roomed with Beck in the early nineties, has been through major label recording deals, been to the corporeal brink and back... and is now living the clean life in North Carolina guesting with the Avett Brothers? Don't let the acoustic guitar fool you. In duo with drummer Monica Samelot, Paleface is a force!
For admission (you will be added to the will-call list at the door):

Strimp Sinister Burlesque Show
SAT , May 17
@ 8:30 pm
$12 adv/$15 door
Strimp Sinister has been aptly described as "Flannery O'Connor meets King Crimson". Their collaboration with members of Nashville's Panty Raid Burlesque resulted in one of our most popular and artistically successful shows of 2007. They're working on a followup that will top it. Electric guitar hero Davey Williams will be in on the action. Join Monique Honeybush, Miss Lolly Pop and the boys of the Bend-- plus some very special guests-- for an unforgettable evening at the Legs! Must be over 18 years of age to attend!

Jeff & Vida
FRI , May 23
@ 8 pm
$10 adv/door
Jeff & Vida are a first rate Americana duo who moved to Nashville from New Orleans following Katrina. They played an inspired gig to too few people when they debuted at Barking Legs in the depths of December 2006. Since then they've been on the ascendancy, featured prominently in a NY Times article documenting the vigor of Nashville's music scene once you move outside the mainstream treacle. Needless to say, they fit in perfectly at Barking Legs!
For admission (you will be added to the will-call list at the door):

Hope For A Golden Summer

North American Royalty

www.myspace.com/northamericanroyalty
A very melodic female vocal fueled project with a thoroughly modern approach to Americana music. North American Royalty is one of Chattanooga's most broadly appealing and highly listenable musical offerings. They have recently put the finishing touches on their second studio album "Leviathan," So there will be lots of new material for their fans at this show. Returning from their relocation to Memphis for their first Chattanooga show in Months, now is the time to see them since they will be concentrating on touring and their appearances in town will become more of a rarity.
Songwriter Elise Berkes is on lead vocals & guitar. Krista Wroten on violin, keys and vocals, Jack Kirton, guitar, mandolin & steel guitar. Dennis Hubbard and Joey Berkley on bass & percussion.

"Athens GA's "Best Band?" - Flagpole Magazine
http://www.myspace.com/hopeforagoldensummer
http://www.hopeforagoldensummer.com
One of Athens Georgia's most talked about musical offerings with two studio albums..
Any search online for this band reveals pages of gushing press that reads like a literary journal.
The New Yorker, Oct. 2006 .... Almost impossibly warm, intricate harmonies over slow waltz tempos, backed by slide and lap-guitar and a drummer who occasionally rattles a case of old Coke bottles.
Philadelphia City Paper 2005 ... Sisters Claire and Page Campbell sing about God and heartbreak like they're drunk on their own glorious harmonies as they swap xylophones, guitars and stories.
Rough Trade Records 2005 ... an exceptional, haunting debut ...this is strange, soulful and deeply affecting stuff. think a rural, ornate cat power or a female arcade fire.
Eyedrum Gallery, (Atlanta) May 2005 ... Front porch rocking chair bluegrass country concoction. The south never had it so good.
Matt Morello, Stylus Magazine....Friends, Hope for A Golden Summer are responsible for three of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen and one of the best albums I've ever heard. Their music is folk and pop and country, but not any of those exactly;
it's music from a real place, that ideal South they're making for themselves and everyone.
Waves on Waves
(Was formerly THORNTON )
http://www.myspace.com/wavesonwaves
Kevin Thornton, Luke Jones and Enoch Porch created major waves in Nashville's music underground under their former band name THORNTON. Winning critical acclaim and Nashville Rage's experimental band of the year award. Now revitalized and heading out into the world again as Waves on Waves. This overwhelmingly together ensemble will make You forget about the current wave of female harmony singers with their all male harmonic vocals & pop/soul multi-instrumental powers. Compared with Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright and even Joe Jackson, these guys put on one of the most intense of the early ArtFRONT concerts and we've been dying to get them back again and into the excellent sound setup at Barking Legs Theater.

Saturday May 24th.
Sarah Siskind with Angel Snow
Barking Legs Theater, 8:00pm $10.
Sarah Siskind Writes intensely gorgeous Songs for
Allison Krauss, for her own band And vocal projects and others.
In searching for the top notch talent that is available to come to Chattanooga to
play there have not been many who have reached the professional level of Sarah
Siskind. Apart from having her songs recorded by Alison Krauss, ("Simple Love" from
the A Hundred Miles Or More collection has been Nominated in the "Best Female
Country Vocal Performance" category for the 2008 Grammy Awards, ) Bill Frisell
played guitar on her early solo recordings. Working behind the scenes as one of the
most intense creative presences in Nashville’s music scene, Sarah records and
performs with others in the Nashville underground talent pool that gives real
substance to the bigger industry and props it up with genuine artistic integrity.
Her duo show performance Barking Legs may give the impression of a younger,
psychedelic Joni Mitchell who can break into genuine Appalachian Americana on a
whim.
Sarah's own unique original vocal work is unforgettable once
experienced. Call in to WUTC 88.1 to request songs by Sarah Siskind and help
give our community a taste of this important young musician as her career is
just beginning to skyrocket.

Angel Snow A native of Chickamauga, GA who has traveled
the country playng and singing her original songs has relocated to Nashville to
make a serious go of her considerable talents. Angel put on one of the most
memorable performances of the year a few weeks ago opening for Charles Allison
at Barking Legs, so we've invited her back to open this show with Sarah
Siskind, which should be one of the most compelling singer songwriter events
of the year. Angel will perform along with sideman Jason Goforth who adds a
very atmospheric and non-traditional steel guitar backup to Angel's soothing
vocals and memorable melodies, making Angel Snow's performance much more
captivating than just a regular singer songwriter onstage.
