Rachel Epp Interview-3/21/12

It was an absolute pleasure to sit down with the amazingly talented singer/songwriter, Rachel Epp, at Path Cafe in NYC.

Her songs invoke imagery of ghosts, graveyards, trains, the country and the city. Her new EP Rosary has been on auto play on my iPod all week!

I suggest you get a copy as soon as possible!

Vic Della Pello Live From Algonquin Seaport Theater, NYC 7/8/11

We had many good shows at Algonquin Seaport Theater and the view was spectacular!

Vic's acoustic show from 7/8/11 was one of the best! Andrea Ceresa joined Vic on stage for some backing vocals. Vic's new album "Broken Heart Tattoo" is outstanding and he plays many of the songs from it as well as some interesting covers from Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles. You can get "Broken Heart Tattoo" as a digital download, CD and LP-how cool is that!

"From the get-go, Viola’s new release Electro De Perfecto pulls listeners in with a decidedly hot-rodded version of his acclaimed songwriting. Songs that are gloriously dark and uplifting about being lost in the maze of middle age, hungry for life as the body decays."

That's from Mike's web site:

His new album "Electro De Perfecto" is Fabulous and I had such a great time interviewing him!

Check it out and share it with the world!

I had the distinct pleasure to interview, book and do sound for Jens Jepsen while he was in NYC. Jens is an incredibly talented singer/songwriter from Denmark (and he plays a mean guitar as well). He just toured the tri-state area with Kristian Odegard, who played cajon and sang back up vocals. His album "Walking Between The Sun And The Atmosphere" is a gem, and it was an honor to get to know him.

I sat down with Chris Sheard, Lead Vocalist and Guitarist for The Times at Blind Tiger on Bleecker Street in NYC. These Brooklynites mix Ska, Reggae, Funk, well, just about everything and if you don't move your feet to their beats, you probably don't have a pulse!
