Ian O'Neil & Dennis Ryan (of Deertick) + Kinsey + Otto Hauser live performances at Spotty Dog Books & Ale with live webstream, and a rebroadcast at 1 a.m. on WGXC. Ian O’Neil and Dennis Ryan spend most of their free time writing, recording and performing music.Writing anywhere they can, recording primarily at Ryan’s home (Studio E) and performing throughout the world,wherever they are welcome. They perform alongside each other in the bands Deer Tick and Happiness. Both live in Rhode Island with their dogs Hoagy and Reggie. Kinsey is the immaculately conceived lovechild of multi-instrumentalist Nick Kinsey, whose forthcoming debut LP, My Loneliest Debut, lives “at the intersection of Bob Dylan, Wilco and Neutral Milk Hotel” (The Wild Honey Pie). Kinsey wrote, recorded, and produced the record in a chicken shack in upstate New York. Apart from the bass (contributed by The Step Kids bassist Dan Edinberg), he made all the sounds thereon. No stranger to the stage, Kinsey cut his teeth playing drums with the likes of Elvis Perkins in Dearland, AA Bondy, and A.C. Newman. Otto Hauser is a musician, composer, and educator best known for his work as a drummer. In addition to solo performances, Hauser leads the ensemble Expectations and co-leads the trio Late Regulars. Over the past twenty years, he has performed on dozens of studio albums and hundreds of live shows across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia, working with diverse artists such as folk legends Kath Bloom, Vashti Bunyan, Mike Heron, Michael Hurley, and Bert Jansch; rockers The Black Crowes, Gary Louris, Jeff Tweedy, and Tony Visconti; drum legends Steve Gadd and Bobby Previte; the unclassifiable Meshell Ndegeocello; and many contemporary indie and folk acts, including Nat Baldwin, Devendra Banhart, Richard Buckner, Espers, Josephine Foster, Fruit Bats, Cass McCombs, Juana Molina, Elvis Perkins, Sharon Van Etten, Vetiver, and Jonathan Wilson.
