Molly Song of the Week -DAVID WAX MUSEUM 'Yes, Maria Yes',

Part of the ongoing series of 'Molly Songs': a weekly look featuring songs that our children will love, but more importantly parents can enjoy as well.

These "Molly Songs" are such a joy to me, finding my daughter enjoys music nearly as much as I do.  Being able to share my favorite things with her is incredible.  I especially love it when she is listening along and asks who is singing.  Even better than that, is when my rambunctious 3 year old makes a request on her own for a band or song.

This week's edition was a must, as it became clear that Molly & I had been keeping some of our songs to ourselves.  Just Friday, the wife and a friend and I went to see David Wax Museum at the beautiful Longwood Gardens, in Kennett Square, Pa.   Due to the advanced median age of the crowd, after the show the place emptied leaving a few stragglers getting merchandise and the very cool opportunity to chat and get autographs with the band.  I was deep in conversation with David Wax, leaving my wife and friend chatting away with Suz Slezak.

Little Molly came up as did her musical tastes.  But when asked by Suz if Molly dug David Wax Museum, my wife was left deep in thought, not actually knowing the answer.  But YES, Molly does like the David Wax Museum.  Hence the Molly Song of the Week, and the latest "single" from the band, 'Yes, Maria, Yes'!

David Wax Museum - Yes Maria Yes



After being left at home during Newport Folk Festival and this latest Longwood Gardens show, Molly should be getting her chance to see the band live for the first time coming up in November.  The Internet reviews don't give a thumbs up for us taking her to see David Wax Museum November 4th @ Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia.  However, the November 20th show in Titusville NJ - Concerts at the Crossing, looks great to bring our little music fiend.  In fact, she'll be FREE!!!!

David Wax Muesum, has been a featured artist here @ Root Down in the Shadow by McGurkMusic.  If you missed the review before, be sure to check out the post:David Wax Museum - Featured Artist

  2. Hey Abby! Tempo is definitely a key factor. Fun lyrics work as well.

    "You invite me into your kitchen.
    For Huitlacoche and Armadillo
    I talk talk Talk, but you don't listen
    i talk talk talk, but you don't listen
    You've had your fill"

    but before we crown her with impeccable taste, just wait until the next installment

New Release Q&A - Sonja Sofya answers some questions for "Patterns We Know"

The buzz has been all about Sonja Sofya and her new album The Patterns We Know .  Tonight Sonja Sofya and band take to the stage at Boot & Saddle in South Philly along with a great line-up featuring Arc Divers and the dove and the wolf. Right off the top we have some great reasons to expect great things from this album, such as produced by Ross Bellenoit at Turtle Studios and excellent musicianship by guitarist/producer Ross Bellenoit, bassist Jonathan Colman , and drummers Matt Scarano and Jonas Oesterle . But we at Root Down In The Shadow wanted to dig further and see what Sonja had to say about the album. Here's 3 questions we had for the songstress Sonja Sofya: RDITS: What was the impetus to make a full length record and why did you pick the people you worked with? At a certain point, playing and writing as much as I was, it felt like the logical next step, but I waited for a while, trying to find the "perfect" time to go into the stud...

Bands Pick The Bands - 2016 XPoNential Music Festival Presented by Subaru - Artists Preview

Wooo Hooooo It's XPoNential Fest Time!!!!  Every year WXPN brings a ton of great bands and artists to the Wiggins Park shore in Camden, NJ.  With so many bands on the line-up it's daunting to figure out which bands to see.  Fortunately, the way WXPN does the line-ups you CAN make it to every band should you choose.  However, we all know it's going to be hot as hell.  Not quite as hot as 2011 with the 100 degree days, but still super hot.   Luckily for us, some of the festival performers have put in their two cents for which bands they are excited about. Rosemary Fiki   starts the fest at 4pm today on the JerseyArts.Com Marina Stage. Let's see what she's recommending: Band Most Excited to Share the Festival Stage with : This is our first time time performing at XPoNential so to be completely honest, I'm super stoked to share the Festival stage with everyone! If I absolutely had to choose, I would say The Districts. We actually share...

New Chris Kasper single - City By the Sea

Here's a wonderfully bluesy tease to the upcoming Chris Kasper album.   New single "City By The Sea", is just enough to keep fans from getting restless, while he tours with Carsie Blanton along the West Coast.  Hopefully there will be some local dates soon, as 2017 seems so far off right now.
