 James Maple and Elli Perry will be performing at an intimate in-store session at The Telegraph (19 Golden Street, New London CT) followed by a great show at the Oasis Pub (16 Bank Street New London CT) with the Telegraph Recording Company‘s own Elison Jackson. July 3rd. Telegraph show starts at 6pm and Oasis show is at 9pm. James Maple Though most tracks ponder solitude, Maple’s languid rasp dips and emboldens doboro and harmonica-laced melodies, taking listeners along on tours from West Virginia to nameless small towns to snow-capped mountain ridges. Fusing elements of the country, blues, and bluegrass greats, “American Dreams” is comfortable like an evening on the porch watching the stars come out and the world grow quiet — though the trivialities and troubles of the day will return in the morning, the moment itself is an invaluable escape. Check out his review on CT.com’s Album of the Day here. “I write because I don’t know what I think until I read what I say.” -Flannery O’Connor once wrote those words, and with 50 letters she spelled out one of the greatest truths I know. My name is Elli. I have found my life mostly by stumbling across it in words. Some of those words have belonged to others, some have been my own. I was born and raised in Georgia by two Appalachian wordsmiths. They watched me run barefoot through the red dirt hills and aching trees that surrounded our home. They fed me a steady diet of The Beatles, the blues, ballads of bone and rust, and grits. Lots of grits. They plopped my tiny body into cars and trains and airplanes and showed me the great cities of the world. They taught me that art can transform and save. Their words have been the backbone of my life.www.elliperry.com And here’s a little something from American Songwriter Magazine on Elli. “Both dreamy and sometimes (delightfully) creepy in their imagery, there is much to explore on this disc…the sheer swelling of feeling can’t be tempered. It’s so clear that a lot of heart and soul went into crafting this material.” – Melanie Love, the Daily Vault www.elisonjackson.com |

The Connecticut music scene is getting another addition to the ever-growing list of stellar annual music-related events. CT.com is proud to present, in conjunction with Chip’s Unnamed Local Band Show, the Emerge Festival.
The Emerge Festival was created with the intentions of not only shining a spotlight on some of the best and brightest local, original music in CT but also as an annual fundraiser for CT bands touring to and from SXSW in Austin, TX. This year local CT artists Daphne Lee Martin, Sidewalk Dave, and Elison Jackson are making the trek down to the biggest independent music event in the country, and CT.com and Chip’s Unnamed Local Band Show will help them get there. The Emerge Festival stands alongside of the CT Music Awards/Grand Band Slam as being one of the few cross-genre music events in Connecticut, bringing together acts from all over the state.
The inaugural edition of Emerge Fest will take place on March 2 & 3 at Arch Street Tavern in Hartford.
And if you want a little primer for it, Daphne Lee Martin has just released her new music video for ‘Belly’. Enjoy!
FRIDAY: Daphne Lee Martin’s Moxie
We’re heading down to New London to visit our favorite record store, The Telegraph. It’s owned by Daphne Lee Martin who has a new album of her own called Moxie. Our friend Anthony Fantano from The Needle Drop describes it as “a liquored up weekend whose hangover lasts well into the work week.” We’ll talk to Daphne about the album, her store and the New London music scene. She’ll also perform some songs from Moxie.
