We're About 9
What can we say about We're About 9? They started off this series in 2006 and have played for us 3 times since then to roaringly ecstatic crowds (just imagine 30 or so people whooping it up like they do at MSG!). And they are coming back for YOU, their adoring Brooklyn/NY/MA/NJ/CT/PA fans as well as their soon-to-be fans of Brian, Katie and Pat.
We're About 9 is a dish best served live with a side of CDs to take home for yummy leftovers the next day and beyond. Their songs traverse a wide range of themes and stories, some personal and some from the perspective of interesting people, creatures and inantimate objects. Their harmonies just soar across the room they are performing, warming your hearts and making your ears smile.
Emerging in a scene where they would play shows to everything form high school kids to mature folkies, they were inspired to forge both a sound and a songwriting style that would appeal to both. The traditional "family music" vibe wouldn't have worked. We're About 9 knew they needed to be edgy, charming, dissonant and robust. And while they needed to work hard and take the craft seriously, the presentation needed to be all about fun. That was the secret to defying the age gap.
Fast forward two years to 2002, and We're About 9 has just won the emerging artist showcase vote at The Falcon Ridge Folk festival. Within another two years, We're About 9 will have played the main stage at Falcon Ridge Folk Fest, Philadelphia Folk Fest, Clearwater Revival, Bele Chere, Green River Festival, Four Corners Folk Fest, Mountain Stage New Songs Fest, and many more--at the same time touring east coast folk clubs, coffeehouses, house concerts, and college venues.
We are beyond thrilled that Brian, Katie and Pat have agreed to come back to our series for an unprecedented FIFTH time in the first of two concerts in a mini but exciting NY tour, which includes a stop at Court House Concerts on the next day! They got a few surprises up their sleeves to make this concert and the weekend ever so super-special. You really don't want to miss this show!
