Local Band Review Podcast #4

Local Band Review Podcast #4 is up! Subscribe on iTunes.

1. Carl Franklin – Waiting for the Summer to Come. Carl is not only a skilled audio engineer, but a musician as well. He plays drums, bass, piano, guitar, and sings.
2. The Rivergods – Squeezin’. They call themselves “a roots/folk/alt.country/ whatever outfit.” This is a nice song about one of my favorite things.
3. Matt Miklus and Friends – Long Time Coming. Matt’s been around the Connecticut scene a long time, best known for his guitar playing in Hubinger St. He’s more of an acoustic guy now. You can hear Matt with the Nameless Trio live on the Sunday Brunch Concert, April 29, 1:00 PM on WPKN 89.5.
4. Little Ugly – Bag of Bones. The Hartford Advocate’s 2011 Grand Band Slam winners show their songwriting prowess here. This is acoustic rock at its finest.
5. Daria Musk – Ghost. Daria is a singer-songwriter with an incredible voice. She unlocked the potential of the Google+ “hangout” feature, and quickly found a global audience.

I hope you enjoy these tracks as much as I do. Get out there and support live music!

Interview with Ken Hays at Gathering of the Vibes HQ

On 04/03/12, I sat down for a talk with Gathering of the Vibes founder and organizer, Ken Hays, about how the festival got started, what it takes to keep it going, and the 2012 lineup. LSP was there with cameras rolling.

The "Wagon Wheel" Project

I was thinking, which is usually a bad thing. In doing so, I came up with a remarkably bad idea that's too good not to share. It seems that the song "Wagon Wheel" is de rigeur for every roots/bluegrass/Americana band out there. Well, what about everyone else?

I hereby propose the Wagon Wheel Project. If your band plays that song—even if you don't—send me a recording in the style of your choice. Play it straight and sincere, put the eyebrows on it, or destroy it completely. I don't care, as long as you have fun playing it. Once I have accumulated enough cover versions of Wagon Wheel, I will devote a set of air time to them all. 

Send them to my SoundCloud dropbox. I look forward to your submissions.

Interview with Bernie Worrell

It's difficult to describe Bernie Worrell's career without reciting a laundry list of musicians with whom he's toured and recorded. My first time seeing him was as a young, hip New Yorker at a Talking Heads concert. My most recent encounter was when he played Vibes with Steve Kimock's band. Bernie has been everywhere in between.

This Friday he'll bring his latest project, the Bernie Worrell Orchestra, to the Brooklyn Bowl for a night of funked-up standards. I caught up with Bernie for some talk about his new project and his illustrious musical past.

The Podcast is on iTunes!

As I mentioned previously, I'm doing a podcast featuring recordings from the local music scene. You can subscribe to the podcast on iTunes. and get the latest as soon as they're published.

The first two podcasts are up at Local Band Review. You can read about them over there, along with the other great coverage of Connecticut's music scene. I'm happy to be a part of LBR, and look forward to bringing you the best in local original music.

R.I.P. Nazmo

John Fredericks, better known as JF or Nazmo, has left the building. JF was a true eccentric, meaning he fit in perfectly at WPKN. Before health problems hampered his style, he rode his bicycle everywhere.

JF was a behind-the-scenes volunteer for many years before appearing on the air. He maintained the light fixtures around the studio and brought goodies in during fundraising, earning the title Pastry Pimp. When he finally did go on the air, He started as Tally during the pledge drives.

JF was a man of varied interests, and was an endless source of interesting conversation. He will be missed.

New Location & Time for Avi Wisnia Concert

Avi Wisnia's performance, originally scheduled for the March 4th Sunday Brunch Concert, has been moved to a new location and time this Sunday.

March 4th – Avi Wisnia *NEW LOCATION AND TIME*
5:00 p.m.
The Outer Space , 295 Treadwell Street, Hamden, CT (21+)
Admission is free, but there will be a free-will offering to support the artists.
This show will not be broadcast. Avi's set will be followed at 6:00 by the venue's weekly jazz series featuring the Colin Wade Group.

Singer/Songwriter Avi Wisnia presents an eclectic mix of refreshingly original songs, finding inspiration in classic Brazilian bossa nova, acoustic American folk, 1950’s west-coast jazz, and contemporary pop. A wordsmith as well as a composer and performer, Avi’s clever lyrics give a knowing nod to those that came before, while his smooth vocals and deft piano skills assure you that this is truly something new.
