This Wednesday at Bar Matchless, Michael Romano, Dylan Oakley (pictured), Lara Ewen, and Jeremy Joyce will perform at Resonance, for FREE.
Recession or not, Resonance is always free, and Bar Matchless is always the best bar/venue in Greenpoint. Over a dozen domestic beers on tap, food fresh and hot from the kitchen, billiards, foosball, late night “Heavy Metal Parking Lot Karaoke” and, of course, the excellent and cozy showroom adjacent to the bar from which Resonance resonates every Wednesday at 8p.

Resonance | Wednesday January 14, 2009
RESONANCE PREVIEW
Wednesday, January 14
MATCHLESS | 557 Manhattan Ave, Brooklyn
7:00p
FREE!
Resonance has just about unpacked all its boxes and found the perfect feng shui for its new home at Matchless. Having been in the business for over six years, it’s no surprise that this showcase is expected to receive weekly visitors of the highest songwriting and performing caliber. 
This Wednesday, Bill Bartholomew, Newspaper Joe, Elias Orling and Lara Ewen will come knocking and continue to warm the space with their melodic and lyrical gifts.
If you followed 2008’s Williamsburg Live Songwriter Competition, you probably remember the song “Sea of Indians,” which granted one songster passage to the Semi-Finals. But considering that songs are not in the habit of writing or performing themselves, we know that the responsible party isn’t so much “Sea of Indians” itself as its author, Elias Orling (pictured).
At the WLSC2008, Elias performed with an oversized ukulele (a “buke” perhaps?), but not in the style most frequently associated with the instrument. Minimally plucked/strummed, the uke was a simple background for Elias’s unadorned, provocative voice to sing a repeating melody over lyrics seemingly searching for a better understanding of his past, including memorable lines such as, “Who were my great grandparents? / Did they walk a thousand miles?”
Those who wished to see Elias move on to the Finals so they could hear his second song are in luck, as he will return tomorrow (Wednesday, January 14) to the very same room in which he performed “Sea of Indians” at the WLSC2008, and won many new fans in the process.

Bar Matchless is the New Home of Resonance!
“The future’s in the air / I can feel it everywhere / blowing with the wind of change”
What the Scorpions are so eloquently communicating in this epic power ballad – 18 years late, granted – is the exciting news that beginning Wednesday January 7, 2009, Resonance (like so many other young, hip things) will be leaving the Lower East Side and moving back to Brooklyn! Better yet, the most excellent Bar Matchless will be the new home of Jezebel Music’s weekly Wednesday songwriter showcase: Resonance. And best of all, even though rent is steep everywhere, Resonance will remain a FREE show!
Wednesday + January 7 + 2009 + 7:00pm + Bar Matchless + $0 = YOU!
