Joe Fletcher / Cover Club Session Original

Joe Fletcher / Cover Club Session Original - Florence, AL

Joe Fletcher at Milkboy recording for #CoverClub

This week, the session of the new Philadelphia-centric music series #CoverClub, features a national act, Joe Fletcher, covering a local Philly band the Toy Soldiers. It's an unexpected pairing of sorts with the road veteran covering the enterprising young bucks from Philadelphia, but there's more than meets the ~~eye~~ ear.

As Joe detailed their connection in the earlier post, it's clear that Joe gets a boost from these rockers. After seeing the Toy Soldiers for the first time, "I believe they pushed us to give our best performance of the SXSW week."

With Fletcher's tour dates in 2013 shared with many incredible artists such as Brown Bird, Deer Tick, Jason Isbell, Band of Heathens, Christopher Paul Stelling, Birdie Busch, and Patrick Sweany, hopefully there's a little push from each of the bands that Joe crossed paths with this year.

With Joe Fletcher now based on Nashville, TN, the oft rumored follow-up to White Lighter, may be closer than expected. The wrap up of tour is just a few more dates away, so we could be hearing some rumors of recording in the coming months.

In the meantime, enjoy what is expected to be one of the songs to grace that future album, 'Florence, AL'. The original track was recorded before sound check back in October!

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. City by the Sea by Chris Kasper
