WHAT'S
GOING ON HERE?
I would
like to welcome everyone to my web site featuring my CD "Breathe." . I
hope that you will continue to come back and visit me occasionally,
for new songs and shows. I keep running into long lost friends stumbling
over my name somewhere on the web. This is very cool, I encourage y'all
do say hi, you can e-mail me from the bottom of almost every page. If you're
from SongwriterWebRing, welcome from a stranger, come on in, skip around.
Try going to the 'listen' button and put on a song to accompany you as
you explore the pictures.
AS YOU JOURNEY THROUGH MY SITE
Some of the drawings and paintings you encounter
will lead you to other pages if you click on them. Eventually they
will include some of my notorious family history (movie stars, masons,
mormons, slaughter, vaudville,...), more of my art work, art work of friends,
breathtaking photographs, plus the full color 14 page booklet that
comes with my CD and includes all the lyrics of my songs. (almost
ready...)
I'm also maintaining a
links page of places I've found in my travels through web world that
rocked my boat one way or another. (If you want to share any of yours with
me, please do,.
Last fall I
hosted the COFFEEHOUSE FOLKSHOW on
Nov.9th at Club Danza ,
sponcered by thestudioclub.com, and featuring the inimitable and blazing
talents of Eliza Gilkison,
the classic and legendary Carolyn
Hester and Paul
Arnoldi, who wrote "One Note Man" (covered
by the Young Bloods)
a few years back. All three artists have current CD's (you can get
to their web site's from my links page.) Sa
Su Weh, a native American writer and film
producer read from his collected poems titled ' Blood Earth'. What an amazing
line up. I did a few tunes too.
Since then I've opened
for John Andrews Parks
at the Gig in
Santa Monica. Chad Watson
accompanied me on bass and the evening was amazing. Severin
Brown played a set with James
Coberly Smith and were both spellbinding,
really. Robert Morgan Fisher
graced the stage, and we all played 'stoke the campfire' which took off
blazing when Mr . Parks led Chris
Spedding,Chad
Watson andJohn
Molo through a passionet, outside, e
ticket ride. He calls themselves, CORNBREAD
BUDDAH. They are appearing at Lunarias
on Thursday August 12 ( check it out in full at 'www.thestudioclub.com'
on my links page )
These past few and next
few weeks, I'm playing at Lunarias also
on Santa Monica Blvd at Beverly Glen in Century City on Wednesday evenings
after 10:pm. The club is elegant and beautiful and serves excellent food.
If you live in Southern
California....come see me on Friday nights at the Lucy
Florence Coffeehouse from 10 till closing.
I play with a fine guitar man from North Carolina, Rick
Keen, and assorted friends. The club is owned
by 6 foot plus identical twins with a passion for the creative arts and
therefore the place is draped in awsome ambiance. You ought to come by.
THE HARD PART
I have a hard time talking about myself....so
here is some stuff other people have said about me and my music,
plus a fanciful short bio I wrote and some of the people I have been flat
out blessed to work with:
"
Lorin Hart comes from a long line of lawyers, fisherman, actors, painters,
artillery captains, patriots, pioneers, soldiers, and runaways. Her handsome
father collided briefly with her poetic mother in and around the great
metropolitan theaters long enough to contribute to the arts their insightful,
darkly brilliant, singer-songwriter siren, Lorin Hart". ( Chad wrote that)
" She was born in Providence R.I. and raised in Greenwich Village
and Greenwich,Connecticut( after an initial globe trot to the British Isles
on her mothers hip where she bounced about by Brendan Behan and the like).
She was educated in the finest schools, cut her musical teeth on
her mother's opera, guitar playing boyfriends, the Newport Folk Festivals
and Greenwich Village basket houses. She was delivered onto Northwestern
University's campus right at the heart of the 60's, subsequently transferred
to Haight Ashbury, immediately married a musician and had three of
four kids travelling all the heck over everywhere in a hand painted (forest
green) panel van earned doing a 'B' movie in Cocunut Grove Florida. (and
that's another story) She clearly remembers bits of Cambridge
Mass., Roanoke, Virginia, East Village New York, Fayetteville Arkansas
and Stowe Massachusetts. She was finally dragged, kicking and screaming,
to Los Angeles, where she sadly divorced her husband of 12 years 's , had
her fourth child and has been loitering ever since, writing stuff
the whole way.. " ( I wrote that)
" Ten years on the LA club scene and coffeehouse circuit have seasoned
her into the sultry, commanding entertainer who can count as her friends
and fans the likes of Tom Waits, Hal Blaine, and Traveling Wilbury drummer,
Jim Keltner. (All three legends were involved in Lorin's most recent CD.)
Her ability to weave original poetry into various formats: blues, folk,
jazz, and country western, has endeared her to music lovers of all ages.
Comparison roulette has found others describing her as a cross between
apples and oranges. " (I forget exactly who wrote that, it wasn't
me.)
Lorin
has opened for Billy Swan,
Chris
Spedding,Chris Montez,
among others. Lorin sings alone with her guitar, with a small group, or
a full tilt band. "Whatever the setting, it is the words of her music that
you want to listen to. She most defiantly has something to say. " ( this
was out of some newspaper)
Lately I'm playing at THE
BAKED POTATO and LUNARIA
and LUCY
FLORENCE COFFEEHOUSE(see schedual
page for details)
