Karla Adolphe is our featured artist! She is a uniquely powerful talent from Winnipeg, Canada and is the featured artist on this Chair and Microphone, Vol. 3. While Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 featured Ben Pasley and Aaron Strumpel, respectively, and their own guitar styles, this album takes a decidedly different turn with a powerhouse female lead who plays both guitars and piano in this much awaited third album in the series. Karla is married to Gary Adolphe and live, along with their dog, Sam, in Winnipeg, Canada, but tour much of the year in a 36' long Bounder RV with Caleb Friesen and appear as renowned folk act: Jacob and Lily. Karla does appear as a soloist and will, even more, with the release of this album find her niche among Worship Circle fans and the uninitiated who simply love great music! Enjoy Chair and Microphone, Vol. 3.
Note: This album features our newest paper wallet design which is a more eco-friendly package with much less plastic waste.
This album is a 16 song ride on the passionate voice and beautiful perspective of Karla Adolphe. All the songs are written and performed by her with one instrument in a small studio space in the mountains of Colorado. The content follows the Worship Circle's commitment to plagiarize the Psalms, but her mix of melancholy personal journey and soaring vision of God as Father of a family is an especially stirring combination.
Excerpted from Jacob and Lily's bio: With their unique and organic sound; Jacob and Lily are the freshest act to emerge from Winnipeg’s rich music community. Complex fusion-style rhythms and innovative, spontaneous songs create an electric atmosphere that captivates their audiences. Incorporating the cajon beat box, world percussion instruments and a partial drum kit, Caleb Friesen is the perfect compliment to Karla Adolphe’s soaring vocals. Jacob and Lily have had a busy freshman year performing at an official showcase at the 2007 NXNE festival, 2007 & 2006 MARIA Manitoba Music Showcase at OCFF, Creston Valley Music Fest, Gateway Festival, Great Woods Music Festival, Harvest Sun Music Festival, Winnipeg Fringe Festival, Fallout Artfest in Minneapolis, The Harvest Moon Festival, Winnipeg Folk Festival Lunchour Series, SNACC Music in the Ruins Series, Winnipeg Folk Festival Young Performers Showcase, and the Winnipeg Folk Exchange Grand Opening. Jacob and Lily have also enjoyed sharing the stage with Elliot Brood, Alana Levendoski, The Arrogant Worms, Craig Cardiff, Twilight Hotel, Cara Luft, The Doug and Jess Band, The Cracker Cats, 100 Portraits, Trace Bundy, Holly O’Reilly, Nathan Rogers, Little Miss Higgins, Matt York, MB Hal, Lindsay Jane, Dan Frechette, Jaylene Johnson and Rik Leaf.
