"Canadiana, neo.folk, alt.country
songs that hit home hard
a lonely country road
taking the long way home at 5am cause you
don't want to stop listening JiveWire (USA)"
"Americana best describes the music of String Bone, a project born of
the songwriting talents of Canadian singer-songwriter Barry James Payne.
A mix of folk, blues, country, bluegrass, hillbilly and even other
contemporary and traditional elements harder to define.
String Bone's song, 'Killing Town', recently made it onto Neil Young's
'Living With War Today' campaign debuting at number 59 out of over
3,400 songs submitted from around the world."
"Folk-Rock oder Bluesrock-Picking ?
String Bones Musik hat Wurzeln in Dylan's 'Blood On The Tracks',
Springsteen's 'Nebraska', Wilco's elliptical Americana, Son Volt's balladry...
String Bones Songs wie 'Wash Away Our Sins, Midnight Train, Southern Ontario Chill,
If I Had A Dream, Too Young For Romance' sprechen für sich selbst durch ihre
herausragende Americana Melodie und erinnern an Elvis Costello."
String Bone is a project based around the talents of songwriter Barry James Payne who is
from Perth County, Ontario, Canada and released his first full-length album in 2009 co-
produced by Shannon Lyon, Chris Giesbrecht and himself.
Payne currently plays live with Dan Henshall and sometimes Aidan Keeley on upright bass and
Steve Wood on Pedal Steel and often has special guests such as Mary Ashton or Lisa Bates join
him on-stage on violin. He has shared the stage with some fabulous artists in the last couple
of years - Danny Michel, Melissa McClelland, Mel Brown 'RIP' (Etta James), Rob Szabo, Luke
Doucet, Royal Wood, the great Bill Bourne, Jay & Colin Linden and many others.
Payne has been playing and writing songs for many years having played in roots and rock bands
since the 80's. He set out in 2006 to write and record a collection of songs which eventually
turned into the new release 'nadir' released in 2009.
String Bone writes songs about real life struggles and his powerful lyrics "often paint vivid
portraits of some of the darker corners of Southern Ontario life, as in the tracks Killing
Town, Wash Away Our Sins and Southern Ontario Chill"
(quoted from The Kitchener-Waterloo Record—Sept. 17, 2008)
His sound has been described as Roots-Americana, but also defined as diverse and having
influences in Folk, Blues, Rock, Country, Gypsy, Celtic and Classical with the help of
assorted fellow musicians Henshall, Wood, Antonia Munro, Mary Ashton and others.
Artist Summary:
Payne creates stories and statements with his songs. Sometimes about himself, sometimes about
others, sometimes about his observations of the world around him. Typical stuff, until you hear
how he puts his lyrics together with melody.
He has been described as "soulful & dynamic" and his lyrics have been described as "painting
vivid portraits" of the world around him and "powerful".
He is on the brink of his second release - the full-length titled "nadir", produced by the one
and only "Shannon Lyon", which includes Blue Rodeo peddle steel player, Bob Egan on several
tracks and a host of other well known local talent/artists - Romney Getty, Mike Alviano, Chris
Giesbrecht, and others.
String Bone's tunes are diverse in approach and style, often changing from traditional country
to intimate folk to bluesy to rock. Some call it roots, some call it Americana/Canadiana - we
just simply call it good songwriting.

PLEASE NOTE: DON'T ASK ABOUT MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS IN THIS SECTION HERE !
The taper and mixing engineer deafmusic cannot remember the brand of cables
he had used during this tour - definitely them expensive ones with 24 carat
fully golden connectors and thick twisted pure silver wires - and he even
won't remember exactly all his particular handholds in the final mix here.
My dear buddy hanwaker usually always writes about "his" uploads
of other people's recordings: "Don't ask - I'm just the messenger !"
SO THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO ADD - TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT...
SBD desk > analog line > Zoom H2 (16/44.1) > SD-Card > Medion PC w/ Creative soundcard >

# -> Frizze NAILED THIS SHOW HERE...
-> so NO additional EQ'ing was used here, and none of those
compressors, Sonic Maximizers or other psychoacoustic processors.
it sounds completely the way it was distinguishable that night in this venue...IF NOT BETTER !
Dad accentuated just all the spoken passages inbetween the songs, averagely +3,5 dB
(with the same amount of digital hiss reduction), and balanced the stereo channels.
The only further addition was a short fade-in at the beginning, and a fade-out at
the end, after the audience applause, so truly NO MUSIC was harmed or lost.

DE FACTO THIS IS FROM - deafmusic - ANOTHER PRICELESS "TAUBMUSIC" MASTERPIECE...
Leo once wrote:
VERY SPECIAL THANKS, from the bottom of my heart, to my longtime
friend & fellow DIMEr deafmusic for opening his incredible archive.
Parts of the "Deafmusic Collection" are also in the "MWM"-vaults, as we
did not only trade with each other for 30+ years, we also viewed and
recorded a bunch of shows together, as friends, music fans and concert
promoters, usually with a bunch of Tascams and Sony's in a row...
BIG BIG THANKS TO STRING BONE - Barry, Dan & Harrie - PLUS everyone
involved @ Music Star - especially Wolfgang, Andrea, Lena & Sally.
And if there's some interest, maybe there is MORE TO COME...
it just depends on YOUR demeanor, and lotta useful comments ;-)
THIS CONCERT IN BARRY'S OWN WORDS:
How I Spent My Summer Vacation - Part 6 - Hamburg: "The infamous Lightning Buck"
Well, when we left off in Part 5, having just played our wonderful evening show in Solingen
at the wood-work shop and our first show in Germany, I made the mistake of thinking that our
next show was in Berlin. In fact, it was in a suburb of Hamburg called Norderstedt, where I
would finally meet my on-line buddy, the mysterious and infamous Mr. Lightning Buck.
We all woke up around the same time at about 10:00am and got ready for the day, loaded up the
car with our personal belongings and started driving, heading towards the highway North to
Hamburg. Almost immediately we hit construction. It was a beautiful day. Wednesday, June 2nd.
Sunny and hot. The landscape is very similar to Canada and in particular Southern Ontario where
Dan and I are from. Lots of deciduous trees and green bush flanking the road about 100 meters
off on either side. Lots of farmland, spotted with areas of industry for the next 200 miles.
There was construction everywhere and we decided to get off and head to the first service and
hospitality centre. The restaurant offering was substanitally ahead of what the highway service
centres offer in Canada. Unfortunately, in Canada, McDonald's, Tim Horton's and other fast food
garbage restaurants have dominated these centres, so you really don't have much choice when it
comes to "good" food.
At this service centre, we had a fresh food smorgasbord from freshly cooked foods, en masse, as
it were, but none-the-less, much better and healthier than a McDonald's hamburger or chicken
burger. Schnitzel, Pork cutlets, Sausage, Meatballs, Roast beef, casseroles, stroganoff, all
fresh, or so it seems. Compared to the service centres on the major highway systems in Ontario
at least, it was gourmet. Fresh salad bar with pretty much everything you can imagine a salad
bar to have - fruit, veggies, pickles, salads of all sorts, just looking fresh and everything
that I put on my plate was just that - fresh. It was good. We didn’t have to hold out for a
health food store or a restaurant catering to our diva needs. Ha!
With coffee to go, we were back on the road and the construction holds us up for an additional
2 hours. Our three and a half hour drive slowly turned into five and half hours. Single lane
highway traveling for what seemed like the whole day.
We arrive in Norderstedt and find The Music Star, of which the promoter/manager of Music Star,
Wolfgang is no where to be found. It's about 4:30pm and we are road weary, but not too bad.
We leave the club after talking with a connecting restaurant cafe who told us that Wolfgang
would be back in about an hour. We find our hotel and get ourselves settled into our rooms and
then meet down in the lobby and head back to the club where we find Fritz, our sound man for
the evening. We meet a few of the other crew as well, Miro, Wolfgang was there too and a couple
other guys doing sound and lights. Fritz was also responsible for getting us our gig in Solingen
the night before.
He gets us loaded in, and we work for about an hour dialing up sounds and setting levels and
lights on stage. This club is decked out with a great sound system, a five-camera video recording
unit, a bank of lighting front and back and overall a very good vibe. Feels good...sounds good...
looks good...we are comfortable on stage and ready for this evening's performance.
Once we are finished, Fritz invites us out for a bite to eat and a drink. We've got a couple hours
to kill. We head across the street to a Lebanese restaurant for some Tabouli, Falafel, Shwarma,
and Homous. It was great food and we are feeling like rock stars here. Fritz talks to us about
many of the concerts he's worked on over the past 35 years. The conversation often turns to the
great Townes Van Zant who he worked with several times and calls a close friend. TVZ was a god
here in these parts by many who followed his career over the years. He is a legend here.
Fritz also knows a few of Townes closest friends. He tells us several stories about his time in
the US in the 60's-70's on the West Coast, in particular San Francisco at the height of the
Haight-Ashbury district and the burgeoning hippy village that sprung up almost overnight.
While we are talking, I notice a fellow on the street approaching the restaurant. He's tall and
lanky, walking with purpose, sunglasses, a dark grey three-button pullover covered with a thin
black spring jacket, black jeans and black leather shoes. He notices us and I knew who it was
right away as soon as he walks into the restaurant. I hollar, "Oh-oh, here comes trouble!!"
Immediately he breaks into laughter, I jump up, extend my hand and as we shake hands, we embrace
like old friends. It's Lightning Buck! We've been communicating on-line for over two years scheming
about getting me to tour Europe and here we are face to face for the first time. Like long lost
friends we laugh hysterically at our first meeting as if it was the most impossible thing to have
happened to us in our lives. In a way, it was. What a fun time and it has only just begun.
Peter is an old soul. A man who has experienced a lot, but who holds hope for new found friends
in ways most people don't. He has faith in the good free things in life, like meeting people and
forging lasting relationships and it shows in his smiling eyes. We are like old friends. Every time
we look at each other it's as though we are meeting after many years and we are discovering new
lines of our experiences with wins and losses over many years that have shaped us. It's as though
we grew up together, but were separated as teens. A very uncanny experience for me. It may sound
like a cliche, but we are soul-brothers. The next several days will prove that.
After noshing and chatting, we head back to the club and we are about 30 minutes from showtime.
The club is filling up, I put my last three CDs out on a merch table and they are snapped up before
I get to the dressing room. I am frustrated for not bringing more. I am frustrated for not being
able to find a label to press my CD here in Europe for distribution.
Harrie, Dan and I wait in the dressing room as the noise outside grows to a clatter of discussion
that I cannot decipher. Miro our MC, who we met earlier, pokes his head in and asks if we are ready
and we all nod. He asks, "So where does the name come from?". I tell him, it's a variation on a
nickname that I've had and we came across it and it just seemed to fit. I tell him, it also refers
to the strings on a guitar that is supported by the bridge and nut of the guitar which is typically
made of bone (but sometimes, plastic or ivory as well - bone can be too porous which makes it duller
for some player's liking). It’s also become what many people call me, although I consider it the
name of the project and not necessarily a name for me. But, it is what it is and I'll let people
work it out for themselves.
He makes his show announcements and we stand up and look out the crack of the dressing room door at
the crowd who have assembled to hear us. They are ready. He announces "String Bone" and we open the
door to applause and head onstage. I hesitantly say "donkashun" or however it's spelled. I claim to
only know a few words in German and the crowd snickers. I try to pronounce them. They snicker some
more. I thank them in English and we begin to play.
We were told to play one long set rather than two 45 minute sets. And so that's just what we do.
After our first song, the audience is appreciative. There seems to be a hesitancy after every song,
before applause kicks in and I realize that they actually want to hear the last dying sounds of the
strings before clapping, as to not destroy the song. This to me is amazing to find an audience with
such respect for the song.
At first it was a little unnerving. In North America, the audience will burst at the first opportunity,
as if to boast about knowing that the song is finished and making everyone in the room know it. That's
what I'm used to, so the hesitation is a little freaky at first. But I had several people come up to
me after the show and exclaim their absolute and utter appreciation and naming certain songs that they
really liked. That is better than any thing you can imagine. You feel like you are connecting and that's
what we set out to do when you write a song. Although, you don't write a song for others, you hope that
at some level others will relate and connect to share in your experience that you have lived.
Ninety minutes of playing and lots of story telling and we finish with 'Ruby', an uptempo country tune
about a Jerry Springer episode I watched in 1993, then we head to the dressing room and the audience is
calling for an encore. We head back out and play 'Funeral Pyre' and Jolie Holland's 'Old Fashioned
Morphine' to close out the night. What a wonderful evening.
Although the past few days I was feeling okay, the jet lag has really caught up with me and I felt like
I was half awake for some of our set and my voice was strained on this night. I had to really dig deep to muster the energy to play a lot of these songs tonight. Some of them are very strenuous vocally and take
a lot out of me. But I'm not whining. Just telling about the difficulties of doing a tour with a 6 hour
lag time and how it affects the body. That's why a lot of touring artists workout at the gym every chance
they get, drink lots of water and stay away from booze. To keep in good shape - mind, body and spirit.
I've never been one to work out. I've tried it a few times and even ran for about 2 years, but I kept
injuring myself. Oh well, I think I will get myself in shape for the next tour like this though.
But I always love to have a drink after I play.
We hang out for a drink and chat with the crew and have a lot of laughs. Peter and I talk about mutual
friends that we know and about the scene in Germany. He says things have changed a lot, but there is
still a good membership for supporting music and these clubs have made it easier for touring musicians,
even musicians like me who are unsigned, but can still manage to have a successful tour. So far, so good.
After sitting on the patio and making a bit of a racket, it's now past midnight and someone asks us to
go inside. As we move indoors a few people decide to leave and eventually after one more beer, we are
all heading for the door. We give our thanks for a wonderful evening and say our good-byes. We'll be
back in three days to play an outdoor festival on Saturday. It's off to the hotel to get some shut-eye.
And that's just what we do.
Part 7 next - Berlin here we come. What an amazing city!

AND HERE IS A REVIEW OF NEXT DAY'S CONCERT:
Konzertkritik Barry James Payne alias "String bone" im art.gerecht, Berlin
Die aufregendsten Konzerte findet man gelegentlich an versteckten Orten, wo man sie nicht
unbedingt erwartet. Der Auftritt des kanadischen Songwriters Barry James Payne alias
"String Bone" im art.gerecht war so ein Konzert.
Das art.gerecht ist ein freundliches Galerie-Café in der Friedrichshainer Jungstraße - mit
einer feinen Auswahl an Kuchen, Kaffeearten, Tees und exotischen Trinkschokoladen. Von einer
winzigen Bar mit netter Bedienung und ungewöhnlich hoher Theke geht es durch einen langen
Gang in einen kleinen Raum mit schmaler Bühne und nüchtern geradlinig moderner Einrichtung
in Schwarzweiß: bequeme Ledersessel und unbequeme Sitzquader.
Und dann dieses Konzert. Aus Rücksicht auf die Nachbarn, dass es nicht so spät wird, muss
es früh beginnen. So hängt sich der kanadische Singer/Songwriter Barry James Payne alias
"String Bone" um kurz nach acht seine große schwarze Akustikgitarre um, spannt eine Mund-
harmonika ins Gestell, lässt ein paar Töne wimmern, als wäre es das "Lied vom Tod" und
dengelt ein paar offene Akkorde hinterher.
Links setzt eine zurückhaltend geschmackvolle Pedal-Steel-Gitarre ein - Harry hatte man
kurzfristig in Holland angeheuert. Rechts ein Kontrabass: Dan Henshall kommt wie Barry
James Payne aus Ontario, Kanada.
Weil es aus Rücksicht auf die Nachbarn im art.gerecht auch keine Mikrofone geben darf,
singt Payne ohne jegliche Verstärkung und Effekte. Kein Hall, keine Tricks, kein nichts.
Da ist einfach nur diese schöne Stimme: tief und ohne falsche Posen, voller Spannung und
Emotion - ruhig und ausdrucksstark.
"We'll go down to the river sunday morning and wash away our sins..."
Und alles wird gut. Folk, Blues, Country, Jazz, Rock, Gospel und Poesie verschmelzen in
einer rohen, aufs Wesentliche reduzierten Form. "Ist hier ein bisschen wie mit Freunden
zu Hause in der Küche", sagt Payne und lacht. Das ist dann auch das Spezielle, das diesem
Auftritt den besonderen Reiz verleiht: Intimität und Nähe, die nicht alltäglich ist.
Wer würde nichts dafür geben, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello oder Bruce Springsteen, von denen
Payne einiges hat, einmal in so einer Situation zu erleben? Mit nur etwa einem Dutzend
Zuhörern. Und immer ganz dicht dran an den Songs, den Geschichten und den Musikern, denen
man natürlich dann doch auch die Massen von Publikum wünschte, die sie verdient hätten.
Zwischendrin erzählt Payne sehr charmant ein paar schöne Geschichten. Anekdoten von
unterwegs, Erlebnisse während ihrer Tour in Holland und in Deutschland. Weil sie zum
ersten Mal hier seien, hätten sie sich auf der Autobahn gewundert, was das wohl für
eine Stadt ist, die da immer wieder angezeigt war: "Ausfahrt". Payne kichert.
Ja, so dämlich seien sie tatsächlich gewesen.
Er singt die zauberhafte melancholische Ballade über die Beziehung eines Musikerpaares,
das sich kaum je sieht, weil jeder von ihnen immer gerade woanders unterwegs ist:
"Portland, Maine", mit herzzerreißender Pedal Steel stammt vom neuen Album "nadir".
Wie auch "Too Young For Romance", ein Song über Paynes 16-jährige Tochter mit einem
rockigen Einschlag, der an den frühen Elvis Costello erinnert. Wohingegen das ältere,
ebenfalls der Tochter gewidmete Lied "She's My Little Baby" in seiner hübschen Jodeligkeit
den großen Jimmie Rodgers ins Gedächtnis ruft.
Dann ist da noch die traurige Song-Story über einen von Migräneattacken geplagten Musiker
und ehemaligen Mitbewohner Paynes, der sich mit Alkohol und Drogen langsam ruiniert hat.
Eine Mörderballade und "Killing Town", ein an Steve Earle angelehntes, leidenschaftliches
Plädoyer für Gewaltlosigkeit und verschärfte Waffengesetze in den USA.
Mit einer kräftigen rhythmischen Gitarrenfigur in "Dropped D"-Stimmung.
Aus Rücksicht auf die Nachbarn ist dann um kurz nach 10 schon Schluss.
Da kommen noch ein paar Leute: "Ooch, schon vorbei? Schade!"
Ja, schade! Man würde Barry James Payne / "String Bone" gerne bald wieder sehen.
- H.P. Daniels
ALBUM CRITIC:
String Bone - nadir
Super debut CD from Barry James Payne, who along with upright bass player Dan Henshall
performs under the name String Bone. The duo has filled out their sound with contributions
from such heavyweights as Blue Rodeo's Bob Egan on peddle and lap steel, guitar and keyboards
courtesy of co-producers Shannon Lyon and Chris Giesbrecht and additional vocals by Romney
Getty, just to name a few. But the bones of the CD is the fine songwriting, from the dramatic
opener 'Nietzsche Finds A Bullfight' with Antonia Munro's gypsy violin prelude, (to) the
bittersweet ballad, 'Midnight Train' with Bob Egan's peddle steel and supporting vocals from
Nicole Andrea Aube, and 'Too Young For Romance', which reminded me of Nick Lowe.
If one can believe the liner notes, the latter tune was written by Payne way back in 1983,
which is a long time to be sitting on such a catchy tune.
