Artist:	P.G. SIX
Title:	The Well of Memory
Label:	AMISH RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	AMI 019CD

"Continuing many of the themes introduced on Parlor Tricks and Porch Favorites, PG Six's well-received first record, The Well Of Memory makes nods towards 60s folk artists like Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Incredible String Band, and John Fahey, while also fitting in with contemporary musicians like New York psych folk poster-boy Devendra Banhardt, Anglo-folk traditionalist Alasdair Roberts, and West Coast psych guitarist Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance. Pat's lyrics draw on narrative force, spinning mythology in abstract patterns that stretch moments of clarity between dreamlike sequences. His music, composed away from the bustle of the city in upstate New York, breathes as solemn spirituals. With The Well of Memory, P.G. Six transcends revival carving a permanent spot amongst contemporary singer/songwriters."

Title:	Music from The Sherman Box Series and Other Works
Label:	AMISH RECORDS
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	AMI 024CD

"The Sherman Box Series was an exhibition of visual artist Christine Krol at Abaton Gallery, Jersey City, NJ in August/September 2005. She showed an ongoing series of collages constructed in Nat Sherman cigarette boxes, as well as small paintings on wood panels. P.G. Six's contribution to the show was seven pieces for folk harps and electronic processing that played on a loop in the space. These pieces explore some of the sonic possibilities of the wirestrung harp with its long sustaining tones, and the bray harp, with its sitar-like buzzing."

Title:	Slightly Sorry
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 305CD

"Pat Gubler (aka P.G. Six) came on the scene in 1994, as a member of Memphis Luxure, a noise/rock band from Port Chester, NY. That band morphed into Tower Recordings, a musically omnivorous ensemble that released several albums on the Siltbreeze and Communion labels over the past decade. Pat's first solo album, Parlor Tricks and Porch Favorites saw the light of day in 2001, followed by The Well of Memory in 2004. Music from the Sherman Box Series, a collection of instrumentals, arrived in late 2006. His music fuses an unlikely range of influences including '60s British folk, country rock, & experimental music. On Slightly Sorry, in addition to the Anglo-Irish quasi-folk influences, you get some Garth Hudson attempts, some Roger McGuinn-izations, the odd Crazy Horse-ism and a pretty nifty cover of a song by Youngbloods pal Jeffrey Cain (note there is a near-approximation of some Dave Schramm-ittude on that Cain number -- not really but kinda. Okay, maybe not). After all influences have been calculated, the roots-informed, detail-obsessed, defiantly handspun sound -- and the transcendently glossy results of such alchemy, make the truth about P.G. Six."
