Early Summer 2010

Greetings Hearth and Terroir Faithful.

Prepare yourselves for an event that will change lives, hearts and minds. Sell off your belongings, cast your expensive electronic toys aside, expect fundamental changes in your most intimate relationships. Yes, it's almost here. The first Summer of Riesling Concert. Wednesday, July 14th, 7:00 PM at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn with four bands chosen for their high acidity, elegant concentration of fruit and incredible sense of place.

The Bands:

Himalaya Mosel Kabinett levels of subtle, pulsating rock that will sneak up on you melt away your resistance. Give in, baby!
Nouvellas Tambourines, soul and harmonies like Dr. Frank's dream of Finger Lakes Riesling reaching its full potential and groove.
Black Hollies Paisley, power and pop. This is the Maximum Grunhauser Abtsberg of modern psychedelia. You will be hooked by the residual sugary reverb hooks but addicted by the acidic backbeat.
Lights On  Excited jangly guitars from San Diego. Like a Rheingau Auslese, balancing unctuousness and tropical fruit from warmer regions with firm structure.

The initiation fee of $30 includes not only the music and the community but a veritable VAT of Riesling for each congregant! Yes, a Fuder of Riesling will be provided for each of you to accompany the evening's musical program! That's 4 glasses each. Yes, a bottle of Riesling for each devotee, be they headbanger or shoegazer.
