Mouth Of Wilson is proud to be featured in the exhibit, Trenton Harmonies
Explorations of Community and Local Music-Culture on exhibit from July 13 – September 11, 2011, at the Trenton City Museum at Ellerslie Mansion in our homebase of Trenton, NJ.

This program is exhibiting in conjunction with New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music which has been made possible at the Trenton City Museum by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.  New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music is part of Museum on Main Street, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and State Humanities Councils nationwide.  Support for Museum on Main Street has been provided by the United States Congress.

A brief description is below.  The exhibit is running through Sunday, so if you’re interested in checking it out, as well as the myriad other exhibits, act fast!

Trenton Harmonies documents the diverse music-cultures of the greater Trenton area and explores the importance of music in our lives. Part of the exhibit includes a collaborative effort led by Dr. James M. Day, adjunct professor of music at The College of New Jersey, and students in two of his undergraduate courses in partnership with the Trenton City Museum, the Trenton Museum Society and members of the community. The museum has organized this exhibit as part of the local component to New Harmonies, a Museum on Main Street exhibition organized by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, on display from August to September.

The students explored the value of American music to Trenton area residents today by interviewing and videotaping a diverse selection of people in a variety of locations.  Their presentations are on display on the second floor of the museum.  Some are also available to view online at PlaceStories.  You can also post your own video stories at Trenton Soundscapes online at PlaceStories.

Dr. Day spoke about the exhibit at the museum on July 12 and on June 26 onHumanities Connection, a radio show of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.

Professor Day teaches Historical and Cultural Studies in Music and Music Performance at Rider University, and at TCNJ he has created new courses that engage students in a variety of community engagement projects involving the arts.

Our latest CD, Untamed Animals, has been reviewed by John Pfeiffer over at The Aquarian in the June 29-July 6 issue.  Click on the link here to check it out…and as always, the album can be streamed for free here at mouthofwilson.com, or purchased at Itunes, CDBaby, and at our shows.

Cheers!

Hey everyone,

We’re proud to have been featured in the February issues of the Mercer County, NJ publications The Lawrence Gazette, The Ewing Observer and The Hamilton Post. A link to a PDF of the article is here.  It’s always nice to get some press, and positive press at that; we’re honored!

Also, we recently played for the first time at Union Hall in Brooklyn, a special thanks goes out to our fans who came all the way out to support us.  It was a great night, and a great show for us by our exacting standards.  We had a blast!

Lastly, a friendly reminder we have a couple shows coming up in the next month or so, first THIS FRIDAY February 25 at BT Bistro in Princeton, followed by March 11 at John & Peter’s in New Hope, and April 1 at McGuinn’s in Lawrence.  We really hope to see you out!  As always, our tour dates page will be kept up to date, so you can stay in the loop about future shows.
Cheers,

MOW

Mouth Of Wilson is the featured band this month on The HHWST.net Radio Network, and will be performing on air on the Sounds Of Philly program, where artists from our area can play and share music THIS SATURDAY, JANUARY 29th at 6:30 EST .

We plan on doing a stripped down set of original tunes and maybe a few covers as well as discuss music, the band, songwriting, sports, pretty much anything we feel like.  We’ll also be taking questions, so feel free to contact us during the show.  It should be an awesome time, please tune in!

Fret not, if you can’t listen live, we’ll have a link to the show posted on the 31st.  Hope to chat with you during the show!

Mouth Of Wilson is honored and pleased to announce that we’ve been nominated for two awards at the 5th Annual Homey Awards, to be presented Sunday, February 13th at 8pm on air at WSTW 93.7FM.  We’ve been nominated for both Artist Of The Year and Album Of The Year, for our latest, Untamed Animals.

Please tune in on February 13th to hear if we’re chosen as the winner in either category and to hear some of the best new music from 2010.  Obviously, there’s a ton of great original independent music coming out of our area so we’re thrilled simply to be nominated.

Best of luck to all nominees, thanks to our fans for voting for us, and a special thanks to Mark Rogers for his continued support of local music!

Cheers,

MOW
