Sera Cahoone

NPR Music calls her “soft as an old shawl.” Sub-Pop Records labels her country-noir, indie ling coined in the attempt to disassociate the term country from connotations of Toby Keith, Martina McBride and Dodge Ram advertisements. Sera Cahoone\’s graceful lo-fi alternative-country canters half-way back to the classic 70’s folk movement with a soft firm drum and a strong alto and wedges the rest of her music in comfy blue-grass denim. “I got my own style! BAM!” she says, and then acknowledges her favorite decade.
Cahoone’s tight hand at the drums earned herself a stint with Carissa\’s Wierd and Carissa’s offspring, Band of Horses, before she took matters into her own hands and moved on to the greener pastures of creative freedom where she is currently playing. “If something hits me a certain way that gets me to sit down and write,” says Cahoone, who grew up in Denver and began performing drums at age 12. “There are a lot of issues that move me, but more recent is [the] Columbine High School 10 year anniversary,” she shares, “It breaks my heart. It’s a little too close to home for me.”
Jay Kardong, the band’s pedal-steel player hails from Moscow, “so we are really looking forward to the show,” Cahoone volunteers. Might I submit that we are pretty entirely stoked for this show as well? We are pretty entirely stoked for this show.
Friday, 1st May, 8:00 p.m., Sera Cahoone is playing with Betsy Olson and Karli Fairbanks at the American Legion Cabin.
