End of the year - Artist updates!

DANIEL LEFKOWITZ of FUTUR PRIMITIF
Checking in with Daniel Lefkowitz we find another record in the works and plans of a UK tour next year!
In the Journey of Dreams by Daniel Lefkowitz


BUKE & GASE: Back in May, we reviewed Riposte by Brooklyn-based Arone Dyer and Aron Sanchez. At the time, they were eight months deep into their release and were known as Buke & Gass. Six months later, the duo's name has morphed to Buke & Gase but they are still on the road with the same wonderful sound. They are touring abroad through mid-December and then taking some much deserved time off. What's next for the band? With only a month off at a time in between touring for the last two years, it's hard to imagine a new album coming soon, but a new release in 2012 would be fantastic?



JOCIE ADAMS.  Jocie toured a ton this year with the Low Anthem and the Smart Flesh album.  A few times this year she was able to do some shows for her own recording  Bed of Notions.  Starting next week is the longest stretch of tour she will have done this year.  She will be tagging along with the Barr Brothers for a North East tour.

Nine dates await from Maine to Virginia:

11-30 South Burlington, VT
12-1  Boston, Mass
12-2 Fairfield CT
12-3 Portland, ME
12-6 Vienna, VA
12-7 New York, NY
12-8 Brooklyn, NY
12-9 Philadelphia, PA
12-10 Wilkes-Barre, Pa

A short NE tour coming our way with the Barr Bros

GREATSTEET:   Good news out of the GreatStreet camp.  A video was put together for single 'God Said'

GREATSTREET: 'God Said' by GreatStreet!


DAVID WAX MUSEUM:
The final 5 shows of 2012 are next week!  Chatting with David @ the Longwood Gardens show and the Concert @ the Crossings show David revealed a new album is in the works for next year.  With recording expected in Jan/Feb.  The anticipated is a possible September 2012.  After the remaining early December shows in the North East, the band is taking some long deserved time off from touring. David will be heading to Mexico to put some final touches on some songs getting them ready to record. An ideal schedule for 2012, with emphasis on ideal can be planned out right now, but the key according to David Wax, “is the quality of the tracks”, much more important than whether it lines up for certain festivals or release dates.

Much like myself, David did not grow up with exposure to the big festivals and really does not have a list to check off, where he would like to tour. Pressed for an answer, David suggested Suz would probably like to hit ‘Telluride’s Bluegrass Festival and Strictly Bluegrass in San Fran!

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.
