"Asleep in A Waterfall"

The Horse's Ha was formed in 2002, James Elkington of The Zincs and just South of the Mason Dixon ex-patriot, Janet Beveridge Bean of Freakwater and Eleventh Dream Day, met at a Chicago concert and started discussing the concept of playing other people's songs in expensive wine bars for money. They soon joined forces with some stellar Chicago musicians -- cellist Fred Lonberg Holm, who has worked on recordings by Wilco, Jim O'Rourke and countless others while richly contributing to the vibrant improvisational jazz scene in Chicago, and the artful rhythm section of bassist Nick Macri and jazz drummer Charles Rumback to create a sophisticated and compelling musical hybrid, infused with echoes of the English folk revival, lulling bossa nova rhythms and pure pop, giving the The Horse’s Ha a uniquely enduring edge. Together they reconcile the new and old to form a unified debut that is Of The Cathmawr Yards.




Angie Heaton's music is a kaleidoscope of influences, her albums lovingly assembled scrapbooks filled with torn pages from yearbooks and journals, concert tickets worn down from the washing machine, dog-eared photos of backyard parties and summer vacations. Every song Angie writes is a love letter that never got mailed, a list of hopeful New Year's resolutions, diary-personal, fragile, beautiful, and real. Angies songs are about crushes and death and being crushed to death.





Matthew Campbell and Robert Hirschfeld are the duo behind the band Common Loon. The two have spent years together and apart, and worked odd jobs in odd places along the way. This Champaign, IL based duo are childhood friends who have known each other since kindergarten, and their intricate music covers a wide range of styles.
