Beaumier Coffee House Series
Featuring Sam & Taylor and the Chanteymen
Peter White Lounge, University Center
The Beaumier Coffee House Series continues on February 9, with a performance by two exciting young groups from Marquette. The evening will begin with a set by local duo, Sam and Taylor, followed by the thouroughly original sounds of the Chanteymen.
Good things happen when you sing like nobody’s listening. Such has been the case for the Marquette duo of Sam Graves (21) and Taylor Martin (19). The two have been playing music together for four years now, but for casual, personal enjoyment, and only recently have they decided to bring their brand of acoustic indie to the spotlight. Sometimes folky, sometimes soulful, and sometimes even hinting at punk inspiration, their style doesn’t always adhere to one influence, and it definitely won’t sound like anything you’ve heard on the radio. "We don’t really listen to a song and say ‘we want to sound like that’", says Sam. "We just play and see what we can come up with, try to keep it as natural as possible."
The Chanteymen is a musical ensemble based out of from Marquette. Their music is the words and chords of Christopher Lander Moore, interpreted through a collection of close friends. The sounds have been described as "folk", "folk-punk", "alt-folk", "nu-folk", "folk?", "pop", and "rock", and compared to artists such as Andrew Bird, Sigur Ros, The Mountain Goats, Leonard Cohen, and The Misfits. To date, they have released an album and an EP, both on Grand Rapids MI's "SELF-SATISFIED" label.
