ABOUT THE CLUMSY LOVERS

The Clumsy Lovers have brought their mix of fiddle and banjo-fuelled, bluegrassified Celtic rock to North American audiences for over a decade. With more than 2500 performances under their belts, their high-energy shows have worn out dance floors and created a loyal following in 49 states and across their homeland of Canada. Their spontaneous forays into musical mayhem can only be experienced in person, and after years of relentless touring the Lovers feel most at home on a stage — a stage that has been shared with the likes of Old Crow Medicine Show, Darius Rucker, Gourds, Leftover Salmon, Ani DiFranco, Gaelic Storm, Taylor Swift, The Young Dubliners and hundreds more.

WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED: REBECCA SCOTT AT VISUAL ARTS COLLECTIVE

June 12, 2015 - Live Shows , The Record Exchange Blog - by The Record Exchange - No Comments

The Record Exchange is a proud sponsor of We’ve Got You Covered, a music series performed and recorded at Visual Arts Collective six times a year!

There is a featured artist for each show. The featured artist picks other musicians to cover one of their songs. They are encouraged to put their own spin on the song. Make it their own. Additionally, the proceeds from the door go to a charity of the featured artist’s choice. Artists and charity change each show.

The performances will be multi-track recorded, and a multi-camera visual recording will be made of each show as well. Each episode will be available on CDs, DVDs and thumb drive of each performance available online and in store at The Record Exchange. Sales provide ancillary revenues for the charity and We’ve Got You Covered. The goal is to spread the word about all of the artists and the charity through music. Future hopes are to get Idaho Public Television to air the series.

We’ve Got You Covered 3 features the music of Rebecca Scott Saturday, June 13 (7:30pm). Tickets are available for $15 in advance at brownpapertickets.com or for $18 at the door. Proceeds benefit the Wassmuth Center for Human Rights.
