Mosaic Presents Wovenhand

The Ephrata Main Theatre and MOSAIC will welcome Wovenhand to the stage on April 10. Hailing from Denver, Wovenhand is one of those bands who have defied categorization since their 2001 inception. The live Wovenhand experience is dark and brooding, drawing on traditional American folk music and the primal propulsion of Native American rhythms and droning guitars. Their live performance is a singular, arresting, and unforgettable experience.

Wovenhand is the brainchild of songwriter David Eugene Edwards, who has been touring internationally for over twenty years. He made a critical splash with 16 Horsepower, which was described by one critic as “incendiary gospel, hallowed folk and mordant tones infused with a high, dark theatricality worthy of Nick Cave." In fact, 16 Horsepower at one time shared management with and toured with Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. 16 Horsepower, along with several other Denver bands, were credited with laying the foundation for a genre now sometimes known as Gothic Americana.

Despite the international fascination and devotion to 16 Horsepower’s unique musical vision, David Eugene Edwards’ restless creativity led him to the evolution of Wovenhand. Their newest music (The Laughing Stalk – Sounds Familyre Records) feels as though it has been carved from the cleft of a Colorado mountain, with Native American language, chant, and rhythm brooding beneath guitar playing that would send a shiver down Glen Danzig’s spine. 

The historic Ephrata Main Theatre could not be a more perfect setting for this rare opportunity. The refurbished 75 year old theatre maintains its original charm and elegance. This is not a show to be missed.

MOSAIC partners up with Live From The Cellar

Saint Narcissus and Adrienne Leasa will bring their unique and focused songwriting visions to Lancaster’s best kept musical secret, Live From The Cellar. Neither of these songwriters are typical background coffeehouse fare, but rather, they are both writers unique voices, and both balance unsettling directness with delicate artistry. The Cellar has been providing an intimate listening room space for a surprising range of concerts in the past year, and on July 27, MOSAIC will be partnering with Josh (the Cellar is, in fact, his Cellar) Gibbel to bring you this night of music.

Put simply, MOSAIC loves what The Cellar has been doing, and the ethos captures much of the organic community spirit that MOSAIC has been striving to foster and create over the last 16 months (we like to think of it as our research and development phase). MOSAIC is currently refining recipes and sampling future plans in the test kitchen, and it seemed a perfect opportunity to continue interacting with the simmering arts community in Lancaster. Very delicious things are on the way, but like fine wine, good things take time. So on July 27, we get to taste a bottle or two in the Cellar. Get it? MOSAIC is working on things for the future…wine cellar…The Cellar?

Keith Wilson (aka Saint Narcissus) played guitar and sang with Lancaster-based band Movies With Heroes for over a decade. The band toured the Eastern half of the U.S. and toured Europe twice supporting the European release of the critically acclaimed CI Records release "Nothing Here is Perfect." Upon dissolution of that project, Keith continued to write material which evolved under the moniker Saint Narcissus. Saint Narcissus reflects a less bombastic and more nuanced and reflective side of his songwriting. However, the Saint Narcissus songs are no less emotionally affecting and melodically surprising.

Adrienne Leasa (Downingtown, PA) will the share the bill with Saint Narcissus on July 27. “Leasa tends toward the lush sound style that made Sarah McLachlan a household name, but also carries the emotional honesty and neo-folk spirit of Kathleen Edwards…[she] runs the gamut from starkly beautiful and emotionally raw to serenely polished.” – CDUniverse.com
