For our 15th estival Open House will be gettingup-close-and-personal. Most music acionadosagree that olk music works best in an intimate, live
setting. Damned right it does. Its easier to connectwith a ddle player when you can see the whiteso his eyes . Plus, here at Open House HQ wereagreed that the current climate (both economic andmeteorological) is not conducive to taking big riskson large scale outdoor shows. And bigger isnt alwaysbetter. So, weve decided that all our events in 2013will be taking place in relaxed, amiliar and intimatevenues and, seeing as its our 15th birthday, werecelebrating by giving you 15 shows at just 5 each,
plus a whole series o ree events, including Irish
and American traditional music sessions. Lookingorward to getting up close and personal with youin June.
Festival Director, Kieran Gilmore

Like most people, Open House rst came across BhiBhiman (pronounced Bee Beeman) upon the releaseo his album last year, when he made a blisteringappearance singing Guttersnipe on Later with Jools.
We were hooked by his looks, his smart suitand most o all by his voice.
Although his parents are emigrants rom Sri Lanka,Bhi Bhiman is an American original and yet heseems transported rom an era when songs weremore important than the pretty aces that deliveredthem. Bhis mix o humour and deep empathy putshim in the company o distinguished (and mucholder) lielong songsmiths like John Prine, NickLowe, Randy Newman and Bob Dylan.
Pure Americana olk the most exciting Iveheard in a long while. Chicago imes

Open House is good riends with the extendedMoore amily so we cant quite understand whyits taken us so long to bring Luka Bloom to theestival? His reputation as one o Irelands leading

Te combination o melodic, yet thought-provoking,material along with incredible skill in connectingwith his audience on classics such as Te Cityo Chicago and You Couldnt Have Come At ABetter ime, is a live experience that any buddingsongwriter should aspire to.

Her music is like going swimming in a lake atnight. om Waits
Aer growing up singing olk tunes with herMormon amily in Northern Caliornia, Jesca Hoop,at age 16, broke away rom her strict upbringingand began what she calls her lie as a racoon, othe grid & close to nature. Hoop has since lived allover the map, rom working as a wilderness survivalguide to chalking up skills in arming, surveying andcarpentry. She settled down or the ve years thatshe was nanny to om Waits amily, then came toEurope to tour with Elbow. Tough she now residesin Manchester, Hoop decamped to Los Angeles torecord her third album, Te House Tat Jack Built,which was released last year to critical acclaim. Shesa dicult singer to categorise olky, experimental,slightly o-kilter, with complex tunes and darksensual lyrics, yet also catchy and at times almostcommercial but always spellblinding.

Biggles Flys Agains debut album RememberSaturday sounds like one o those great pop albumsyou used to listen to and there are several reasonswhy. Te rst and most obvious one is that theman behind the moniker, Dubliner Conor Deasy,is especially adept at craing 3 minute pop gems.
Secondly Remember Saturday was recorded withthe aid o instruments rom a orgotten era, namelyCasio and Yamaha keyboards, a Hammond organand a BBC Neve recording console. We also predicta bright uture or Biggles Flys Again.

Every so oen, just when you think the well is dryand the tradition is dead, you are grateully remind-ed that there is still water down there and that thetradition was only sleeping. Morgan OKane romCharlottesville, Virginia, is one o those reminders.A virtuoso banjo player, shouter and activist nowbased in New York City, Morgan recalls two othertransplanted legendary southern artists; Rever-end Gary Davis and Aunt Molly Jackson. Like thereverend, Morgan honed his skills making a living asa busking street artist. Like Aunt Molly, he has kepthis connection to his Appalachian home.
While Morgan OKane clearly knows his way aroundthe old tunes, this aint no revival - he is moreinterested in creating his own, helped by the vir-tuoso band o New York Citys Dobro genius, ZekeHealy, the one-and-only Ferd Moyse IV on ddle(Hackensaw Boys) and Liam Crill on spoons. Toseo you who have attended Open House Festival overthe years will know just how appropriate it is thatMorgan & Ferd and the guys close this years estival.
