Feb 7 The Sketties (Lancaster, PA)

Original Rock

The Sketties is an eclectic five-piece band from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A live performance is something of an enigma. It brings together high-energy upbeat melodies and twists it together with more sorrowful and introspective themes, all the while maintaining a light-heartedness that makes you want to dance.

Feb 27 Nate Myers and The Aces -  Harrisburg, PA
Genre: Red Hot Blues and Americana

Feb 28 Smoke The Groove - Harrisburg, PA
Genre: Original Pop Fusion. Come early for a table.

Mr. Rubal shared his belief in these one-take recordings. The first take is usually the most raw and honest., and he is interested in capturing that in singer-songwriters. It seemed important that he would avoid diluting the song with multiple takes and over production.  We made the agreement that he would record my songs for free and I would distribute them for free.

I recorded acoustic arrangements of Red Eyes, I Love, and Stay, in one take each.  I wailed into five carefully positioned microphones and the result is in fact intimate and clear.

This was truly an extraordinary evening, as I was privileged to record in this fine studio with Jason and his assistant Brandon.  I also met three other local singer songwriters: Messina Whirley, Sarah Witmer, and Loretta Billieux. Josh was also present and gave thumbs up and a proud grin from the control room.

Stay

I Love

I also perform these songs with my band Smoke The Groove.  See the gig calendar on my home page and come to one of our shows.
