Three String Bale’s Random Tracks
Three String Bale is an Americana/roots band that’s been playin’ an original mixture of old-time, country, blues and bluegrass around town for a few years. The band laid down tracks for its first album at Frogville Records’ studio in Santa Fe in June. The release of hot on the skin, sweet in the mouth happens this weekend. In anticipation, we peer into guitarist Thomas Studer’s anachronistic, Kiss-laden music library.

Three String Bale on redneck cajóns, guitars as sleds and finding time
Local Americana, old-time country band Three String Bale did an interview with me in preparation for the Alibi's SOS Music Fest on Saturday, May 14. (The band takes the stage at 3 p.m.)
Sarah, Bart and Tom talked about their initial interest in music, where they are headed as a band and what some of their songs are about. They also gave shout outs to their biggest supporters: Bart's wife, other local bands and drunk fans at Marble Brewery. Look for an album from Three String Bale in the coming months full of songs about whiskey, chickens and love.
Come out and support local music at the Spanish Village at the Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 14. The daylong party is all-ages! Buy advance tickets for $10. (Kids 10 and under get in free with a parent or guardian.)

Show Up!
Cowboys Are My Weakness
A night of disparate local Americana
Years ago Kate Mann traded her New Mexico home for Portland, Ore. She’s just returned to Taos, guitar in hand, packing a songbook full of brilliant lyrics and discreet melody. Often backed by a rotating cast of musicians known as the Calamities, this week Kate plays her welcome-home set as a solo.
