ICEHOUSE HALLOWEEN W/ HOBO NEPHEW'S OF UNCLE FRANK + JILLIAN RAE
Hobo Nephews:
Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank's new album Number One Contender was recorded live to tape over four wintry days and nights in the north woods of Minnesota. Named one of the best Minnesota-made albums of 2013 by Star Tribune, Number One Contender captures the energy and emotion of the Hobo Nephews' sound more than ever before. Teague and Ian Alexy's New Jersey roots squarely align them with the spirit of the big-hearted underdog. This, combined with the whisper of the wind through the pines, and the cadence of the open road, has lent the Alexy brothers a unique sound.
The Hobo Nephews' emerging strength, however, is the knowledge and perseverance to develop an original American sound as platform for two distinct American voices.
Jillian Rae:
Jillian Rae is a multi-talented violinist, lead vocalist, and songwriter whose creative and dynamic style of violin playing, along with her lifelong experience as a performer, lend her an assured stage presence. She has an innate ability to create hook-laden tunes affirming the positives of life in the face of struggle and disappointment.
Like many of Minnesota's finest musicians, Jillian Rae grew up in the north, on the Iron Range - an environment as open to country, folk (and yes, polka) as it is to pop, rock and blues. Growing up in a music-loving household, Jillian was hooked early when she began taking violin lessons at age 7. From there, she began to sing, dance, perform, and has been working hard at perfecting her art ever since.
Jillian has been a heavy hitter in the Minnesota music scene for years, playing with as many musicians as humanly possible. In the past, she had been known to lend her fiddle chops in the Duluth-based band Two Many Banjos, and also spent some time fronting the local pop country staple, The Killer Hayseeds. Currently, when she isn't performing with her own band, you can still catch her playing fiddle and singing with a number of bands around town: Corpse Reviver (Early American Folk, Bluegrass), Steve Kaul & The Brass Kings (Folk Revisionist), Brian Just Band ('60's California Pop), The Fiddle Heirs (5 fiddles and a bass), and The Blackberry Brandy Boys (Cosmic Country).
