   ARUM RAE: General Info
Member Since12/15/2004
Band MembersArum Rae Valkonen-vocals/guitar, Justin Dick-lead guitar, Mike Redmond-bass, Tyler Newberry-drums, and sometimes, the best times, Leslie Wood on snare
Influences Elvis, the Judds, Hank SR., Ella Fitzgerald, Billie H., Bob Dylan, Gilean Welch, Drive By Truckers, Zepplin, Johnny Cash, Outkast, Hendrix, Tom Waits, Ricki Lee Jones, Donny Hathaway, Roberta Flack, Muddy Waters, Nina Simone, JJ Cale, Yardbirds, White Stripes
Sounds Like. . . a furious backwater slide guitar workout, with a wink and a nod to vintage Yardbirds, Time Out of Mind-era Dylan (think “Million Miles” hopped-up on Texas medicine and railroad gin) and even a sideways glance at the spirit of PJ Harvey’s trashcan demos, on tape, emotion-drenched, post-modern minimalist blues with just her yearning vocals, electric hollow-bodied guitar and simple percussion.

Record LabelHyperrealist
Type of LabelIndie

good show last night

Hope the show was alright last night! I was sad I couldn't go. Got off work at 6, had to be back at 9 the next morning and couldn't get out of it. Plus imagine that wonderful trip down 16 on a sportbike. Joy.

And for a genre...1930's rock and roll?

If my mind serves me correctly, your birthday is tomorrow. Maybe I am crazy, but heck, I haven't seen you in almost 13 years!! If I am right, I hope it is a wonderful one! I hope to meet up with you one day- we aren't far from you.
Alan





Aug 18 2008 3:29 PM

It's actually been on my mind. I'll come up with something. I always do.

Howdy Arum Rae! Thank you kindly for the friendship... and for droppin' by. You really do have some great songs, and wonderfully haunting vocals. Very fitting for such a beautiful and mysterious place like Savannah, which is by the way one of my most favorite places on Earth. It is truly an Honor and a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
