The entrancing Kelli Schaefer returns to the program tonight having recently released No Identity:
"Though the title implies a reluctance to adopt it, No Identity earns Schaefer a reputation as one of Portland's strongest songwriters."--Cris Lankenau/Willamette Week
"...Kelli Schaefer possesses an almost otherworldly voice — a beguiling instrument that conveys clear-eyed beauty and truth, sometimes dropping its guard to reveal vulnerability and sometimes baring its fangs like a cornered animal"--Barbra Mitchell/NPR Music
She was last on in 2011 after her debut Ghost of The Beast:
"It’s only a matter of time before the world knows Kelli Schaefer’s name. With a voice that commands attention, she prowls the songs on her debut album Ghost of the Beast like a feral cat, hypnotizing you in her emotionally creative world before unleashing a powerful growl that stops you dead in your tracks. The sheer whirlwind intensity of songs like “Sister K” and “Black Dog” demands repeated listens, but even when she reels it in she remains a force to be reckoned with; a strong, determined woman who currently stands on the cusp of great success and is clearly ready to take the next step."--MySpoonful.com
And then later in the program Poison idea founder/singer/lyricist Jerry A. and Documentarian/Filmmaker/Musician/Producer Mike Lastra will join me to talk abut Poison idea : Legacy Of Dysfunction and the world primeir at Cinema 21 on 09/14/2017, here's what Cinema 21 says about it:
"Filmmaker Mike Lastra has gone all out with this film and you're invited to witness the madness and glory with this new testament to the greatest punk band to emerge from our fair city. You think your family is messed up? A new standard has been set, documented and here it is: POISON IDEA: LEGACY OF DYSFUNCTION. Feel free to bring your mother."--Cinema 21
