Voices Cafe in Westport is excited to announce the return of Goodnight Moonshine to the coffeehouse on Saturday, March 11 at 8:00pm. Voices Café is located at The Unitarian Church in Westport, 10 Lyons Plains Road, Westport.
This musical collaboration between married couple Molly Venter of Red Molly and Eben Pariser of Roosevelt Dime has proven to be addictively captivating. Add in upright bass player Craig Akin and it will be a night to remember.
Voices Café House Manager David Vita said, “Craig was the upright bass player at last month’s sold out performance of Abbie Gardner. We’re fortunate to be seeing him back again this time joining his Roosevelt Dime partner Eben Pariser”.
Molly Venter's voice bends from a sweet moan to a gritty shout and back into a playful run in the space of a few bars and "it all goes down like silk," writes American Songwriter Magazine - "few singers turn first time listeners into eternal fanatics as effortlessly as Molly Venter."
The emotional potency of her voice is surrounded and supported by a lush landscape of harmonies and minimalist orchestrations conceived by Eben, on vocals and electric guitar.
Co-writing often, the couple uses the creative process to explore a healthy authentic relationship. Both wholesome and irreverent, they sing of grief and joy in equal measure; Molly gives smooth delivery to Eben's assertions while Eben gives form and focus to Molly's raw passion. Their music encourages listeners to embrace opposing desires, to challenge as well as support each other through inspiration and dissolution, and hopefully to share this journey with their larger communities.
