Busy busy.

Wow, uh, ok, WAY too long since my last post. Here's what I've been up to.
I am continuing work with Pamela Goddard on what is turning out to be a wonderful follow up to her first CD "As Time Draws Near". Joining her are the sweet voices of Glass Of Water, fiddle and guitar from Kitchen Chair and other vocals from Jim Blake and even a cut with Diamonds In The Rough.

In contrast, the recent theme at Wilburland has been ROCK GUITARS! The Rochester band Hadlock has brought me tracks recorded in LA by Bob Kulick (know for his with with Kiss, etc) to finish recording and mix. Singer/guiratist Kris Hadlock has come down a a few sessions to record better lead vocal performances. Guitarist Richie Roccisano is replacing all the guitar leads in his home studio in Interkaken and then I get to mix it all! Yee Ha!

Richie's brother Michael has a cool heavy band called Seventh Son who recorded with Richie and brought the tracks for me to mix. The song Gone Forever came out great and can currently be heard on their myspace site (and mine) and on Sirrius Radio. I'll me mixing a few more for them soon.

 

We don't normally like to toot any one horn in town, because everybody here does such great work offering us fantastic live music options, but in the next week or so, our friends at Castaways have really hit some serious home-runs.  Here's a list of what's coming up soon.

Wednesday Nov 5th
Luminescent Orchestrii
-Incredibly talented group from NYC boasting some of the most high-energy gypsy music you'll ever hear.

Thursday Nov 6th
The Indobox and The Breakfast
-For those into the trancey jam band scene, you most likely know these two power houses.  A funky evening of sweet beats and extended grooves.

Friday Nov 7th
Donna the Buffalo w/ Who You Are
-Donna is back boasting their new album, and bringing along Trevor McDonald's new band, Who You Are.  Some of Ithaca's finest, period.

Sunday Nov 9th
World/Inferno Friendship Society
-This band is huge, and a true circus of fast-rocking indie music.  Spastic and fun, definitely a highlight for Ithaca.

Thursday Nov 13th
Scythian and Oneside
-Scythian made a huge splash at Grassroots and has become a real treat to Ithacans on multiple visits.  If you can't have fun dancing to Scythian's Celtic-infused tunes, your legs might be broken!

Phew!  We know the economy is tight, but these shows are super awesome, and we stand fully behind each one when we say they'll be worth it.  Plug in and Go!

With the launch of the new IthacaMusic.com, we're hoping to make this the most comprehensive website about any and everything music-related in Ithaca.  As it stands, there are only 2 of us working on this huuuuge site, and we could sure use your help.

**Now accepting band profile information!**  We've finally got the coding down for how we're going to present the band profiles on the artist page.  To be fair, every band in town will get their own mini profile with a short bio, pictures, and song samples!  Please drop us a line via our Contact page, so that we can get chatting and get you all set up.  Don't be the only band in town without one of these things!!
