YIM YAMES, DANIEL MARTIN MOORE, AND BEN SOLLEE ON APPALACHIAN VOICES TOUR Yim Yames, singer-songwriter Daniel Martin Moore and genre-bending cellist and vocalist Ben Sollee will embark on a nine date Appalachian Voices tour in an effort to raise public awareness of the devastating practice of Mountaintop Removal coal mining throughout Appalachia. A portion of the proceeds from the tour will benefit Appalachian Voices, for which the tour was named, an organization devoted to ending mountaintop removal coal mining together with diverse environmental problems impacting the central and southern Appalachian Mountains.
Tickets for the shows will go on sale beginning Friday, May 21st. For links and info, go to www.dearcompanion.com
“The people and the land of Appalachia are too important to us as a nation to be sacrificed for something as short-sighted as Mountaintop Removal (MTR) coal mining. Our cultural stake in the region, from its music to its log cabins, is an indispensable part of our history and identity as Americans. People all over the world know our country music, our dances and our stories and they call them American. They are the fruit of Appalachia.” Ben Sollee, Daniel Martin Moore and Yim Yames.
Hot Damn.

I don't visit this part of the forum often but purposefully came hear to make a thread about this after reading about it on twitter. Never heard of Martin Moore, but I'm definitely excited for the other 2 to be in Lexington. Does anyone know about this project? Will it be 3 dif solo performances or all three together the whole time?

I can only assume it is a collaboration. It just doesn't make sense for this announcement to be 3 individual solo performances going on tour. It's more or less a nameless band embarking on a tour for a cause.
I'm gonna try to make the C'ville show... but holy god money is crazy tight right now, and the mid-week date is going to be rough with work... I have a feeling my willpower will persevere and I'll find myself amongst the crowd though

So I went to the first date last night in lexington and it was awesome!
Highly recommend going to see this show... basically they would play 2 songs together (either a cover or one of their own songs) and then someone would stay on stage for 2 solo songs while the others would go off and back on.
DMM played some really good covers for his solo songs... forever young and another one i had heard but not sure of the name of.
I enjoyed Ben Sollee's songs more but didn't recognize any of them.
The second or third song they all played together was MMJ Golden. Later they played Smokin from Shootin together and played Gideon together during the encore. YY played a MMJ song I'm not sure of the name of and then Look at You for his solo part. They were all really really good, like being at a very intimate mmj show (for the mmj songs).
The last song of the reg set they played together was Michael Buble's Save the last Dance for me.
The best song of the night besides the MMJ stuff was an old appalachian folk song that everyone would be familiar with but I can't figure it out right now. There was also another MMJ song in there I'm missing that I don't know the name of either. I'll try and figure them out throughout the day but def try and go see this tour if you can.
*edit- the folk song was bring me little water sylvie. I'd love to find a recording of this from some point of the tour.
** the other MMJ songs were Wonderful (the way I feel) and Where to Begin
