 2-09\n\nMcGonigel's Mucky Duck presents Po Girl. \n\nThe interplay between
  Allison Russell\, Awna Teixeira\, Benny Sidelinger\, and Mikey 'Lightning
 ' August is truly something to behold. They are distinct voices with incre
 dible harmonies\; multiple instrumentalists who bring the perfect sound to
  each song and songwriters who pen poetic tunes you'll find yourself hummi
 ng. Po'Girl showcases a wide array of instruments-from gutbucket bass\, ac
 cordion\, clarinet\, banjo\, dobro\, guitar\, to electric bass\, glockensp
 iel\, piano\, harmonica\, bicycle bells\, drums-- and they all frequently 
 trade off instruments with each song. Their fluid and joyous musicality is
  one of the group's most endearing and irresistible features.\nImpossible 
 to put this band in a tidy little box&mdash\;they're equally at home in Do
 uala\, Cameroon playing the Massao World Music Festival\, as they are at t
 he International Jazz Festival in Montreal\, the Winnipeg Folk Festival\, 
 the Woodford Music Festival in Australia or just playing for fun for the p
 eople in Vondel Park\, Amsterdam.\nSuffice to say Po'Girl makes 21st Centu
 ry roots music\, urban roots &ndash\; never derivative\, not faithfully ap
 ing a beloved tradition. Russell\, Teixeira\, Sidelinger\, and August don'
 t re-hash the old forms\, they reshape and reinvigorate them for new ears.
  Like genuine gypsies\, they wander and play - out on the international ro
 ad bringing their unique brand of pan North Americana to a widespread audi
 ence 250 to 300 days of the year&hellip\; Always restless\, more often tha
 n not bone-tired\, they write their flashes of sadness\, their loss\, thei
 r good love\, their faint dreams of home into songs that matter deeply to 
 them. Like any good art\, they are little acts of self-rescue. So you shou
 ld listen. You aren't much different from them\, and who couldn't use a li
 ttle rescuing these days?\nPo'Girl released their 4th studio album &ldquo\
 ;Deer in the Night&rdquo\; to critical acclaim in May 2009- they followed 
 that up with &ldquo\; Po'Girl Live&rdquo\; in July 2009 - a live album rec
 orded at various shows over the last year - which captures some of the ene
 rgy and excitement of a real time Po'Girl concert. With enough new materia
 l for several more records being honed before their enthusiastic crowds ea
 ch night &ndash\; expect to see a brand new Po'Girl CD coming down the lin
 e in spring of 2010.\n\nStart time: 7:30pm
