the triple door - seattle - 5/18

SEATTLE HOMECOMING!

Uncle Bonsai's back from the Midwest for one night at The Triple Door in Seattle. We're continuning to work on the new cd, "New Jobs For America," and will be recording this show for possible inclusion. Come out and be part of the fun, and maybe even the cd, while seeing the group in Seattle's premiere concert club. For this show, there's booth seating available with no minimums (!) so you can get great seats even without having the full dinner. (Eating at The Triple Door, however, is an incredible treat!)

The show starts at 8:00 and tickets are on sale now on the web at The Triple Door Tickets or by calling 206.838.4333.

just announced - 2 california shows!!!

7/20/12 - Uncle Bonsai returns to Northern California for two shows this coming July. On Friday, July 20th, the group performs at the Twisted Oak Winery in Vallecito, California. The group is thrilled to be part of the "Folk at the Oak" concert series; hope you can join us "under the stars."
Tickets go on sale soon at: Twisted Oak Winery.

7/21/12 - After having such a great time this past December, when we played in Felton, we're returning to the area for our first ever show at Kuumbwa Jazz Center in Santa Cruz. This is a beautiful concert venue, not a bad seat in the place, and we have to thank DBKay & Associates and Snazzy Productions (w/John Sandidge) for promoting the show.

There's limited seating so tickets are ON SALE NOW! Don't miss out! (It's general admission but there are a limited number of "Gold Circle" tickets for this show; buying a "Gold Circle" tickets means you're guaranteed a seat in the first three rows, centered in front of the stage.) Tickets are available online from Brown Paper Tickets or by phone at 1-800-838-3006.

what is "new jobs for america?"

"New Jobs For America" is the name of the upcoming Uncle Bonsai cd AND a new song (see this secret video), and the theme for a number of songs. Uncle Bonsai's in the middle of working on LOTS of new material, much of it revolving around the theme of "New Jobs For America." To be honest, they're not normal jobs . . . let's call them alternative jobs! Yeah, that's it . . . alternative. People can't be picky these days, right?

So, maybe a job like "Pool Party Starter," (people who come to your pool party already completely wet so that no one has to be the first in the pool) might be an option.

ANYWAY, these shows will have all sorts of new songs, many of them about "jobs," but will also feature a number of songs, some of our favorites, that haven't yet been recorded. We tried out the first batch of songs, with the help of the Seattle Folklore Society, on January 21st. Then we recorded our shows in Ann Arbor, Chicago, and Madison; finally, we'll be back at The Triple Door in Seattle, on May 18th, to record the live portions of the cd!

the grim parade - the latest cd

The New Uncle Bonsai Release: Order Your Copy Today!

LISTEN TO UNCLE BONSAI!

The Grim Parade, the first new Uncle Bonsai release in almost 10 years,
is a collection of live and studio performances that continue to explore
unflinching portrayals of life, love, and a guy named Doug.

Song's like "The Baby's Head," "I Would Come Back," "Loving Tommy," and
11 others, focus on the passing of time, the passing of genes, and the
passing of pets -- the truth of everything seemingly buried somewhere
under the family tree. [For lyrics, click here!]

Copies are available all retail and online stores, in addition to the Yellow Tail Records store. The group has CDs avaialble at all their upcoming shows.

There's a recession going on, if you didn't notice. Now, we suppose that you could invest but, really, what's the point? THESE kind of cds will last for years and, to be honest, you would probably enjoy hearing some of this music more than listening to the financial reports. So, since we were starting a whole new online store anyway, we thought we'd offer you an extra 5% off any order. Just try the new order form and put TRYME in the coupon box; 5% will automatically be deducted from your final total.
