It’s gloomy. It’s raining. It’s Monday. Just perfect for celebrating Elliott Smith’s birthday at the White Squirrel Bar, in St Paul, on August 5th. Technically, Smith’s birthday is on August 6, so the party should go on until Midnight to make it official.
This event was put together by New Seven, the stagename for Dominic Acito. He started the show by playing “Whatever (Folk Song in C)” and “King's Crossing” before ending with an original song.
That sets the framework for the other performers who followed: covering a few Elliott Smith’s songs and ending with an original song.
Next up was Emmy Woods, who we said performed as Emmy Woods & The Red Pine Ramblers at the recent Twin Cities Pride Festival in June 2024. Songs she covered were “Between the Bars” and “I Figured You Out.”
Then Cara Lillian was on stage, what sets her apart is that she had a backup singer Zola Rose joining her on stage. Rose, who would remain on stage to play after Lillian’s set, confessed that she’s the biggest Smith fan, opted for the five-song option, starting with “Unlucky Charm,” followed by “Clementine.” Watching her obsessed over the songs and lyrics, she can probably play another hour of Elliott Smith songs.
Ara came on next, I don’t have any details on her, and it’s impossible to find her on the internet.
Bryn Battani said she is a recent transplant from Texas, and that certainly they don’t have these kind of events in Austin. She was also the only artist to switch over to keys, from acoustic guitar.
Shae Alcamo, came on after… but I couldn’t find any information on her either.
FINICK was not advertised on the show’s poster, and came “under prepared.” She played “Talking to Mary” and a new original, “Bigger Than Us.” The latter will be the third single off a forthcoming sophomore album.
