Wow. Thayer Sarrano and Nate Nelson. Wow. Quiet, lovely, modest, good-spirited and really, really beautiful music-makers. It was a treat to meet these guys and hear their songs in our Kitchen as leaves blew by the windows and fall began to settle onto Greensboro. Perhaps I’m biased because some of their songs sound like early Cat Power (who is one of my all time faves) or maybe it’s because Thayer was such a good sport about leaning over the edge of our bathtub and submerging her head in the water for several takes, but it’s fair to say I’ve become a big fan overnight. I’ve listened to both of their cd’s several times and heard “Jump In the Water” over and over again as Harvey worked his magic on their video and I’m still struck by how beautiful it is.
Here are a few shots from their session. After discussing our Halloween costumes, Thayer and Nate were kind enough to do an awkward prom date pose for us at the end. Of course they’re way too cute to be awkward, but don’t tell them that. Stay tuned for their next video. Pretty darn sure you’re going to love it.

Two songs just aren’t enough. They came to our kitchen, braved the cold and the drizzle in the back yard and ate Indian food with us before returning to Brooklyn, NY. Fear not, they’ll be returning to Greensboro on March 13th as part of our Monkeywhale presents series …
Many thanks to Jocelyn, Emily and Jeremy [...]
For the past 2 years monkeywhale and our kind neighbors have thrown a Halloween party. Nothing fancy. A couple of gazebos, a keg, strings of lights across the lawn and a few lanterns. We also project films on the barn that have fallen into the public domain … like, Nosferatu for instance. Creepy and a [...]
An Apache Relay is the pre-colonial version of a courier system. Chiefs would compete against each other to see who could have a message delivered in the shortest amount of time. A Relay of 8 scouts could hand a message over a quarter of a mile in 3 minutes. Apparently. Just imagine if they [...]
Lyndsay, a neighbor to our fellow monkeywhalers in Asheville, NC came to our attention due to the insistence of Dulci, Shane and Jason of Now You See Them (a prior visitor to the kitchen). Dulci and Shane actually accompany Lyndsay on this song along with the very talented Matt Williams.
Who is this Lyndsay Wojcik? (pronounced [...]
Here’s another song from a very special evening that began with a lovely set by Bruce Piephoff (a longtime friend who inaugurated the Harvey’s Kitchen series). Jim Avett is father to Scott and Seth Avett, of the Avett Brothers who were recently signed to Columbia Records.
The dotmatrix project is a monthly concert series which is [...]
Jim Avett, father to the Avett Brothers (Seth and Scott) and native of North Carolina plays live with Scott Manring (a guitarist that many revere) a song which they recorded together in 1973 and stowed away as life moved on.
Thirty years or more later, they rediscovered the demo and decided to revisit the song. The [...]
