August 2010 We're just back home from a fantastic midsummer trip to the Midwest and Colorado. We swam and ate a lot of ice cream, which made this tour feel like an old-time summer vacation, but with great gigs in between. Many thanks to the wonderful musicians, promoters, friends and family who hosted, invested in and inspired us! Now that we're home, we're chilling a bit for August, and helping to celebrate the release of Many Hands, a benefit CD that includes us, Dan Zanes, Pete Seeger, Elizabeth Mitchell, Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, Dog on Fleas, and many more great artists. Check it out! Many Hands will be available at all Whole Foods stores soon -- but we hope you'll purchase it either directly from us (we'll have it at our shows this fall) or from the CDs web site, manyhandscd.com. RADM Praise for Ranky Tanky "Forget the kids, you'll want this album for yourself. The fact that your children will absolutely love it will be the icing on an already delicious cake." "Flower power meets front porch rock n' roll... proves that kids' music can be simultaneously loose and tight... I fell in love from the first note of the CD." "This is the soundtrack to summer."

Listen to a review on NPR's All Things Considered (August 2007) "The theme of affirmation is exuberantly clear on Rani Arbo & daisy
mayhem's impeccable third release. Arbo is a triple threat as fiddler,
songwriter, and possessor of a beautiful, malleable alto. The group's
playing is tight, with stylish, unexpected choices; guitarist Anand
Nayak is a marvel of stylistic versatility, with a rich, resonant tone
and soulful, imaginative fills. Big Old Life is brimming with grace,
however defined." "One of the most
song- and arrangement-oriented bands in a field overgrown with
pyrotechnic, jam- and solo-conscious virtuosos." "If Rani Arbo
& daisy mayhem offer to cook at your place, you better open up
all the doors, and borrow every table and chair you can because the
whole town should come." "An ear-to-ear
grin of a record..." "They even
manage to make Leonard Cohen sound hopeful..." |
