The Appalachian Popular
Programming Society (A.P.P.S.) brings Jump Little Children, Carbon
Leaf and Tinker’s Punishment to Legends tonight.
“Tinker’s Punishment opened for Jump Little Children last
semester in October, and it’s kind of a bonus that Carbon Leaf
is coming,” A.P.P.S. Stage Show Chairperson Peter D. Van Schoick
said Monday.
It was Jump Little Children’s decision to have both bands opening
for them, but A.P.P.S. is pleased with it, Van Schoick said.
All these bands draw a similar crowd, yet are different in the music
influences they combine in their music, Van Schoick said.
Jump Little Children has an acoustic folk rock style, with a firm
base in rock n’ roll.
Tinker’s Punishment does not really have a following of its
own, but is more like Jump in their style of music, with more rock
n’ roll influences, Van Schoick said.
Jump and Carbon Leaf are similar because both bands’ first
influences were Celtic.
Carbon Leaf is more edgy, Van Schoick said.
They define their sound as “Ether-Electrified Porch Music,”
merging many influences together such as Celtic, bluegrass, rock
and pop, according to information provided by Big Hassle Media.
Originally from Richmond, Va., Carbon Leaf has been working its
way up, cultivating a big following in Virginia.
“Carbon Leaf is trying to garner support in other areas besides
Virginia with their East Coast tour,” Van Schoick said.
Carbon Leaf includes Barry Privet on vocals, penny whistle, bagpipes,
banjo and harmonica; Carter Gravatt on vocals, acoustic and electric
guitar, mandolin, bodhran and bouzuki; Terry Clark on vocals and
acoustic and electric guitar; Jordan Medas on vocals and electric
and double bass; and Scott Milstead on drums and percussion, according
to Big Hassle Media.
Carbon Leaf is planning to release a live album in April following
their latest full-length album, “ECHO-ECHO,” released
in 2001.“In general, Jump and Carbon Leaf is a combination
that probably will not happen again,” Van Schoick said.
Jump is just a good band and Carbon Leaf is a growing, upcoming
band, Van Schoick said.
Tinker’s Punishment will start the night, followed by Carbon
Leaf. Jump will wrap up the performance, playing up to curfew, Van
Schoick said.
Tickets will be $5 in advance on sale at the W.H. Plemmons Student
Union information desk and $7 at the door.This event is BYOB with
a six-pack limit with proper I.D. Doors open at 9 p.m. |
