SUMMARY:Horner Park Concert: Concert: Pravda Records Night—Steve Dawson and The Handcuffs
DESCRIPTION:Concert: Pravda Records Night—Steve Dawson and The Handcuffs\n\nFriday\, July 26\, 2024\n7:00 PM  9:00 PM\n\n\nHorner ParkChicago\, IL\, 60618United States (map)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSteve Dawson \nOn Steve Dawson’s new album\, simply titled Ghosts\, his sixth as a solo artist\, the Chicago-based musician and songwriter\, well-known for the impassioned alternative country of the band Dolly Varden\, crafts ten songs that find reasons to believe – in music\, in human connections\, in desert vistas – even as the ghosts move all around him\, all around us. But those ghosts\, those presences of the past\, are part of why we hope. “Loss by loss\, year by year\,” Dawson reflects on the aching acoustic song “Sooner Than Expected.” Still he tries to keep up\, tries to keep pace with time. He knows hope doesn’t come easy and knows the ghosts can’t be wished away. \nLargely written between 2017 and 2023\, these ten songs combine intimate confessions and tightly constructed narratives. Across all ten songs\, Dawson’s voice\, with his soulful\, golden burr\, communicates with searing emotion and resilience. That visceral and instantly recognizable tone finds an ideal complement in an ensemble of principally Chicago-based musicians and close friends. \n“Many of my favorite albums were recorded live in the studio\,” Dawson says. “I was reading about Neil Young making Zuma and Tonight’s The Night\, all the 1970s Dylan records\, the Band’s second record. The arrangements on this new album were created on the spot\, and rather than a collection of overdubs\, the album is a performance.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Handcuffs \nLed by drummer Brad Elvis (Screams\, The Elvis Brothers\, Big Hello\, The Romantics) and vocalist/guitarist/saxophonist Chloe F. Orwell (Big Hello)\, Chicago’s The Handcuffs recently released their fourth studio album Burn The Rails(Pravda Records). The 13-song album was tracked at Kingsize Sound Labs\, Chicago\, with producer/engineer Mike Hagler (Wilco\, Neko Case\, Billy Bragg\, Mavis Staples\, My Morning Jacket\, The Mekons). Burn The Rails is available via all download and streaming platforms\, CD and on 12″ vinyl in summer 2024. \nFor the the new album\, The Handcuffs found inspiration from the heady\, analog days of early 1970s rock & roll\, weaving together elements of glam\, indie\, garage\, art and blues rock. Inhabiting some of the same musical turf as T-Rex\, Mott The Hoople\, Roxy Music\, The Raconteurs\, P.J. Harvey\, Led Zeppelin\, and Patti Smith – all filtered through a modern lens – they deliver bold\, sexy songs with memorable melodies and unexpected twists. \nElvis and Orwell formed The Handcuffs from the ashes of Big Hello\, their first band together\, which released three indie label records and toured from coast to coast. Elvis’ career also includes a few major label go-arounds\, arena tours\, and a backstory that will be documented in a new autobiography in the near future. The duo’s eagerness to explore new sonic territory and evolve into an entity that aligned more with their ever-expanding influences and broad range of musical tastes prompted a change. The Handcuffs began as primarily a studio project\, in which Elvis and Orwell wrote and recorded an abundance of material. During the process\, they realized that they missed the live band experience\, and so The Handcuffs as recording artists and a dynamic live band was born. Completing the line-up are bassist Emily Togni\, lead guitarist Charlie Short\, and keyboardist Carolyn Engelmann\, all of whom originate from different parts of the country\, but have made Chicago their home. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis concert is sponsored by Lyon Communications\, and Patrick Duffy\, Baird & Warner – North Center \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPosted In: Concerts\nTagged: Concerts
