Goodnight Moonshine at the me&thee! (Alice Howe opens)
When you first hear Goodnight Moonshine it brings a wave of nostalgia, conjuring teenage heartache- then perhaps a similar sensation to falling deeply in love. As the music fades you're left grappling with what it is to stay in love with something both beautiful and flawed. Courageous unveiling and depth of experience make the collaboration between married couple Molly Venter and Eben Pariser addictively captivating.
Molly Venter's voice bends from a sweet moan to a gritty shout and back into a playful run in the space of a few bars and "it all goes down like silk," writes American Songwriter Magazine - "few singers turn first time listeners into eternal fanatics as effortlessly as Molly Venter." The emotional potency of her voice is surrounded and supported by a lush landscape of harmonies and minimalist orchestrations conceived by Eben, on vocals and electric guitar. Co-writing often, the couple uses the creative process to explore a healthy authentic relationship. Both wholesome and irreverent, they sing of grief and joy in equal measure; Molly gives smooth delivery to Eben's assertions while Eben gives form and focus to Molly's raw passion. Their music encourages listeners to embrace opposing desires, to challenge as well as support each other through inspiration and dissolution, and hopefully to share this journey with their larger communities.
Mollys voice has caught the ear of industry giants, and been prominently featured on FOX television, Apple Computers and in Warner Brothers films. Molly and Ebens Co-write "Willow Tree" was a #1 hit on the folk charts in 2014 and was featured in USA Today. Consummate performers, Molly and Eben have also appeared nationally and internationally, 100+ shows a year, with their respective bands Red Molly and Roosevelt Dime. Goodnight Moonshine tours with upright bassist Adam Chilenski; shows are on pause until spring of 2016, as the couple welcomes their first child J. Otis Pariser to the world, born September 10th at 8:35am, in their home in New Haven, CT.

ALICE HOWE opens
A lifelong songwriter, Alice Howe is at once timeless and original. Her soulful, impeccably tuned voice is a seamless conduit for her crafted poetry. Her musical heart lies in '60s folk and '70s Southern California songwriters, but her lyrics draw deeply from personal experience. As a performer, Alice is honest and sure-footed, familiar to her audience from the very first song.
During her three years in Seattle, Alice became a well known face in the acoustic music scene, playing a variety of local gigs, including bars, listening rooms, festivals, and house concerts. From the Doe Bay Cafe on Orcas Island to the basement stage of Northwest favorite Dusty Strings Music Store, Alice captivates audiences with her crystal voice and engaging wit. In the summer of 2016, Alice returned to her home town of Boston to continue building her career, and appeared in early September at Club Passim in Cambridge alongside Antje Duvekot.
The coming months are shaping up to be busy ones. In early July, Alice returned to the studio in Seattle to record a new EP, scheduled to be released in November of 2016. She looks forward to various travel plans, including her first Northeast Regional Folk Alliance conference, as well as several December shows in Seattle. To support Alice's current recording project, please purchase one or more of Alice's current albums, available here on her website.
