Modern Trade Presents: Little Brave’s Firelight

Posted by Galleywinter on Wed, December 04, 2013 · What's Going On · Leave a comment

The folks at Modern Trade (including our own Ryan “Tank” Hargrave) have released another project called “Little Brave’s Firelight”.

Firelight is about taking a song and stripping back every single thing about it… so Little Brave took a few of her songs and broke them down to just vocals, a baritone ukulele and harmonies by Nicolette Good and Daniel Thomas Phipps… while the folks at Modern Trade found a location void of artificial sound and lit only by a single fire.

The performances are great. Take a look at the video below and then see the whole project with two other songs right here.

Today In Music

{1941}
Singer/songwriter Bob Dylan (real name Robert Allen Zimmerman) is born in Duluth, Minnesota. Dylan's influence on popular music is incalculable. As a songwriter, he pioneered several different schools of pop songwriting, from confessional singer/songwriter to winding, hallucinatory, stream-of-conscious narratives. As a vocalist, he broke down the notions that in order to perform, a singer had to have a conventionally good voice, thereby redefining the role of vocalist in popular music. As a musician, he sparked several genres of pop music, including electrified folk-rock and country-rock. Dylan's force was evident during his height of popularity in the '60s √¢‚Ç¨‚Äù the Beatles' shift toward introspective songwriting in the mid-'60s never would have happened without him √¢‚Ç¨‚Äù but his influence echoed throughout several subsequent generations. Many of his songs became popular standards, and his best albums were undisputed classics of the rock & roll canon. Dylan's influence throughout folk music was equally powerful, and he marks a pivotal turning point in its 20th-century evolution, signifying when the genre moved away from traditional songs and toward personal songwriting.
