Unique Show:
Caravan 2012 was one of the most unique and fun experiences we’ve ever had as a band. It’s put on by the Murphy brothers (of Penrose) along with their manager Lynne Krohn and friend Matt Manser. Last year we joined Penrose, Cheers Elephant, TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb, Juston Stens and the Get Real Gang, Levee Drivers, and about 2 dozen other Philly artists. The festival spans 3 days on Matt’s family’s property on the Belgrade Lakes in Maine. We are excited to be joining the festival again this year for Caravan 2013 August 2-4.
Introducing: Don McCloskey – Corporal Spirits
Don McCloskey is a great talent who has made a name for himself in the Philly and national scene playing with acts like G. Love and Donavon Frankenreiter. His albums Northern Liberties (2007) and Bombs Over Bristol (2003) captured that same fun & funky style, even scoring Philadelphia's G. Love for an appearance on Northern Liberties.
In 2011, he launched a Kickstarter to try something bold and new.
taken from the kickstarter site:
"Don McCloskey is recording his most ambitious album to date with producer Bill Moriarty and needs your help to put it over the top.
My name’s Don McCloskey. I’m an independent musician and I’m working on my third album. This album is bigger in scope than anything I’ve taken on in the past and I need your help to pull it off.
Here’s what's going on. I’ve written and arranged an album’s worth of brand new songs. I'm working with a very talented record producer, Bill Moriarty. I’ve asked the best musicians I know to play these songs with me in the studio. Everything is ready to go but it’s more expensive than any record I’ve done in the past."
It took an amazing one day to reach his goal!
What made this so noteworthy and inspiring is that his Corporal Spirits project was something much different than the music that gained him his initial notoriety. Corporal Spirits was recorded live in 3 days at Waking Studio in East Falls, PA, and was mixed and co-produced by Bill Moriarty. What I find interesting is how many great artists Don was able to pull into one room to contribute to this project.
The album is available on BandCamp: corporalspirits.bandcamp.com
Don can be found live next at Webster Hall in NYC on May 9th, 2013
