Sans Abri, Auction House Letters, The Good Graces:
Sun., May 26, 8 p.m. 404-522-3950Folk/Country
21+ only show Sans Abri is the French term for "homeless." As founding members of The Packway Handle Band, Josh Erwin and Michael Paynter had written songs that had not found a home in the band's bluegrass based format. It was from this that Sans Abri was born. Using a cajon to loop live drum beats and alternately adding acoustic and electric guitar and mandolin the band creates a unique sound that steps away from their bluegrass roots and finds itself in the realm of Americana Alt-Roots. The songs of Sans Abri are at times dark, playful, sad, and funny but always performed with a musical sensibility that only comes with the years that Erwin and Paynter have spent playing music together. Erwin's "Scientist" is a song asking the question, "Are we someone's experiment?" It combines satire with genuine curiosity about the world in which we find ourselves. Paynter's "Winds Me Up," a more somber number, showcases Erwin's deftness on electric guitar and the duo's tight-knit harmony. The inception of this band came around November 2011 when The Packway Handle Band was asked to perform as part of a tribute to John Prine. Josh and Michael [two of the original founding members of Packway] were the only two out of five guys from the band who were available to jump on the show's roster. Arranging those songs [and later, some Tom Waits songs for another tribute-night show] turned out to be great exercises to hear just what these two forces could come up with together. About a month after that evening they wrote a setlist using a handful of songs they had individually written. They arranged them, came up with the band's name, then played their first show together as Sans Abri at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, GA. 2012 was spent showcasing their set at venues and a handful of festivals throughout the Southeast, which allowed their songs an opportunity to evolve and solidify musically through live performance. In whatever space the band finds themselves performing, Josh and Michael focus on different combinations of harmonies and acoustic instrumentation to produce a lived-in blend of sound. These two have played together onstage for more than ten years, they've developed many of Packway's styles and songs together, and have always been pleasantly surprised by the amount of common musical tastes they share. The duo is an extension and expression of what they do best-- musically-- together. Sans Abri has given a home to these songs and are providing shelter for many more creations to come. They are in the midst of recording the first album of songs. Release date will be 2013. $5
