Madelyn Hartke and the Dumb Fingers
One of my goals for the year is to focus more on things I like, and less on things I hate. Madelyn and her band are both things high up on my like list, and I’ve been wanting to play around with drawing concert posters for awhile, so there you go. (Presumably additional concert info would go in that white box behind the cellist’s head, and in white text under all of their feet.)
For more information on the band and their upcoming shows, check out their facebook page, where you can also listen to two of their incredible songs. (I’m pretty sure their version of Prof’s “A Month From Now” was recorded the night I saw them in Hogan Brothers, my first night home for winter break. It made for an absolutely fantastic homecoming.)
PS Goldfeather’s coming to visit me this weekend!!

I’m going to email you later about the band. And the new songs that we just recorded that I can’t give to anyone yet but want to let you listen somehow anyway.
LOVE IT. AND YOU.

YES! I’m glad you like it. I’ll send you the file sometime, so you’ll have a large file to work with if you ever want to use it.
Please, please, PLEASE send me the new songs, whenever you’re allowed.

Hi Madelyn and the Dumb Fingers,
You all are just fantastic!
I have listened to your lovely voice and the fantastic music, including the beautiful harmony, so many times, I have it all memorized.
Are there any more musical numbers posted on the Internet and are you all performing? Is there a cd in the works?
With best wishes,
Kathy Durkin

Kathy,
I too am waiting eagerly for more Dumb Fingers tunes! There’s no CD yet, but their myspace page is a good place to listen to their songs and check in for news updates:

Also excellent is Madelyn’s other band (well, duo), Boone:

I could listen to her sing all day!
I know both groups will be playing around Minnesota a bit this summer. Their facebook page is probably the most useful source for info on that.
