<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Announcing a new Henning concert. This one is happening at <a href="http://bingartscenter.org/">the Bing Arts Center</a> in Springfield, MA. Friday October 12, 2012. It starts at 8:00 and ends at about 10:00.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What has he got planned? Lots of songs for sure, maybe some new ones, probably some old ones, likely some from Henning Goes To The Movies, indubitably some School for the Dead songs but what about a classic famous crowd-fueled Madlib? Why not?! Little colored lights? I wouldn't say no. Banter. Yeah, I imagine they'll be banter.</span><br />

<a href="http://sparetherock.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/woody-300x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://sparetherock.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/woody-300x300.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently had the fortune of being asked to contribute a song to this new Woody Guthrie tribute record "<a href="http://sparetherock.com/wordpress/releases/keep-hoping-machine-running-songs-of-woody-guthrie/">Keep Hoping Machine Alive</a>" (Spare the Rock Records). </div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>"The new album, whose title is drawn from Woody’s list of New Year’s resolutions for 1942, is timed to honor what would have been his 100th birthday.</i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i><strong>Keep Hoping Machine Running</strong> represents the third release for Spare the Rock Records, following 2010′s <strong>Many Hands: Family Music for Haiti</strong> and <strong>Science Fair</strong>, released on July 3. Like both of those earlier releases, Hoping will benefit a good cause: 100 percent of the net proceeds from sales will go toward the Woody Guthrie Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to the care and administration of the Woody Guthrie Archives. </i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>More than 40 years after his death, Guthrie’s presence continues to be felt in American music — not only through his influence on the work of countless artists who followed in his steps, but through the way his songs have been so thoroughly absorbed by generations of listeners. Simple, powerful, strong, defiant, tender, and funny, Guthrie’s anthems of American living remain as rich and vibrant today as they were when he wrote them. </i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>The timeless power of Guthrie’s music is reflected in the story behind <strong>Keep Hoping Machine Running</strong>, which was hatched in a spur-of-the-moment meeting between executive producers <a href="http://sparetherock.com/" style="color: #2255aa; text-decoration: none;">Bill Childs</a> and <a href="http://dadnabbit.com/" style="color: #2255aa; text-decoration: none;">Dadnabbit</a> and <a href="http://popdose.com/" style="color: #2255aa; text-decoration: none;">Popdose</a>‘s Jeff Giles; the project was conceived on a Saturday afternoon, and by Monday morning, artists were already calling dibs on songs and sending in recordings for the album. </i></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
<i>In the spirit of Guthrie’s doggedly prolific work ethic and beautifully simple aesthetic, artists were told to keep their performances as natural — and to record them in as few takes — as possible. (As Dean Jones of <a href="http://dogonfleas.com/" style="color: #2255aa; text-decoration: none;">Dog on Fleas</a> put it in a letter of advice, “Laugh and make mistakes.”) The result is a collection that demonstrates the continued relevance of Guthrie’s work while preserving some of its inimitable spirit."</i></blockquote>

There's a very nice review of "Henning Goes To The Movies" over at Popdose.com. Author <span class="heading-author">Bob Cashill clearly listened carefully. Thank you, Mr. Cashill.</span><br />
<span class="heading-author"><br /></span><br />
<span class="heading-author">Here's an excerpt: "</span><a href="http://henninggoestothemovies.blogspot.com/p/about-music-tour-living-rockumentary.html">Henning</a>
(it seems strange to refer to him as “Ohlenbusch,” so intimate is the
connection these songs make) has wisely taken an evocative approach <span id="more-99183"></span>
to this album. The songs bear the titles of the movies, but other than
that there are few shout-outs to the plots or the characters. He takes
one or two strands from each film and unravels his affection for them
over the course of each song."<br />

Henning has an interesting gig this Sunday. He'll be playing songs from
"Henning Goes To The Movies" as an introduction to Movie Trivia
Madness, a fund raiser for Amherst and Pleasant Street Theaters starring
John Hodgman and Bill Dwight.<br />
<br />
Even though none of the news pieces about the event mention Henning, we
promise, he'll be there. He'll start playing at around 2:30 at
Weinstein Auditorium in Wright Hall at Smith College. This all happens
on Sunday March 11.<br />
<br />
24 teams will be competing in a trivia contest while Dwight and Hodgman
riff on stage. We went down and checked out the venue last week and
it's a really nice spot.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Saturday, I played a house concert in Hartford, Connecticut. The
concert was the first in a series put on by <a href="http://www.somanystarsmusic.com/">So Many Stars</a>. I had a
wonderful night.<br />
<br />
It all started off with a dinner at Luna Pizza.
There used to be a Luna Pizza here in my town Northampton, Massachusetts but
sadly, it went out of business. When I realized the house concert was
just a couple of miles from the Hartford Luna, it seemed like a must. Lesa
and I met friends, Debbie and Emily and we each got a pizza. It tasted
pretty much just like the good old days.<br />
<br />
After dinner we drove off in the wrong direction, eventually made a
u-turn, and found our way to the casa de venue. There was no doubt
which house it was since the door was adorned with little flashing
lights. As we approached with guitar and accessories in hand, a dog
barked from behind the storm door. Hello, dog.<br />
<br />
We stepped inside and found a comfortable living room that had been
filled with rented folding chairs. I made my way up to the front and
unpacked and arranged my items and I immediately felt comfortable in the
little spot behind the microphone. There were a few people milling
around and there was a table with snacks and a cooler of beverages. I
met Colin, who was kind enough to bring a small P.A. for the evening. I
also met Helder who was operating a video camera for the show. I
already knew the host, Julie, who asked me if I needed anything.<br />
<br />
As I tuned and arranged my table of CDs, more and more people came
in and by 7:45, we decided I should start. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had planned on playing two
sets of seven songs each with a short intermission between them. I
introduced myself to the audience, explained Henning Goes To The Movies,
and played Joe Versus the Volcano. It felt pretty good, I could hear, I
could see everyone's faces, we were getting to know each other. That's
when I reached down and introduce the MadLib. The audience was
friendly and enthusiastic and provided me with good words through out
the night with little to no begging on my part. Ages ranged from, I
would say, nine to fifty. This is the set list that I played, I think:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Joe Versus the Volcano<br />
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles<br />
The Year My Voice Broke<br />
Egos, Weee!<br />
Jake and Kim Broke Up (Leave Me Out Of It)<br />
The Straight Story<br />
Logan's Run<br />
<br />
Superhero<br />
Amélie<br />
Superbad<br />
We're All Stars (this was a debut)<br />
Levitation<br />
Meatballs<br />
Poltergeist</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For
both Logan's Run and Poltergeist, I passed out my colored
finger-flashlights to the audience and we shut off all the lights. The
room filled with colors, some folks tapped the lights in rhythm, others
made the lights dance across the ceiling and walls, a few shown them right at their
own faces. I loved it.<br />
<br />
When Poltergeist was done, it was time for the recitation of the
MadLib. The title was "House Concerts". Colin, who I had never met
before had graciously agreed to come up and play my guitar for
background music as I read the mostly funny finale. He did a great job
and overall the MadLib proved to be successful.<br />
<br />
During the intermission and after the show I met a lot of new
friends. I'm ready right now for my next house concert. Want to host
one?</div>Henninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01162945480901266045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7558299430805408157.post-76711834499080345302012-02-27T09:02:00.001-08:002012-02-27T09:02:54.324-08:00Henning Goes to the Houses<div class="entry-content">
On Saturday March 3, 2012 - Henning goes to Hartford to play a house concert. There might still be room for you to come! Venture over to <a href="http://www.somanystarsmusic.com/">So Many Stars</a> to learn more and get a seat now. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
So Many Stars makes concerts in intimate, non-traditional listening
environments such as apartments, houses, back gardens, and other
non-public spaces.<br /><br />
The small scale of a house concert enables the creation of a special
relationship between performers and listeners. Rather than struggling to
be heard over the chatter and cheer of a public space, performers have
direct access to listeners – listeners who have come to the venue for no
other reason than to experience what the performer has created.<br />
<br />House concerts are grateful places. Guests and hosts support and
encourage performers. Hosts and performers appreciate the presence of
guests. Performers and guests honor the effort of the host.</blockquote>
Hope you can make it. Thanks. <br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<strong>Henning Ohlenbusch, “Henning Goes to the Movies” –</strong>
The talented Ohlenbusch from local outfit School for the Dead takes nine
familiar films and recreates the personal impact of each in a song. So
we get “Joe v the Volcano,” “Poltergeist,” and “Superbad.” Yes, it’s a
concept album but don’t feel you need to over-invest in the theme to
enjoy. Henning’s writing and gift for melody really carry the day here.
The disc is available at <a href="http://rubwrongways.com/">rubwrongways.com </a></blockquote>
