Aaron Brown / Cover Club Session / Original Track / Leave The Light On

Earlier this week we dusted off the holiday cobwebs for #COVERCLUB as Aaron Brown selected Allison Polans' delightful country tune 'Kindest of Hearts' for his Nomad Recording Studio session.  It's yet another example of the emotion that Aaron Brown brings to his music.

For his original selection for #CoverClub, Aaron reached deep into his catalog and called upon 'Leave the Light On', one of his earliest songs written.    Exhausted from playing the night before in New York City with Clairy Browne & The Bangin' Rackettes, he was still able to make his original as fresh and pure as the day he wrote it.  The post-break-up song sounded as if it was Clairy, who had broken up with him the night before.

Cover Club | Aaron Brown "Leave the Light On"

Aaron Brown is the lead singer of Aaron & The Spell, who can be found this Friday at World Cafe Live, along with West Philadelphia Orchestra and Black Horse Motel supporting A Fistful of Sugar for their album release party.

Heading into 2014 Aaron has been busy with some writing sessions and trying out new tunes.  The prospects for a new album this year seem promising.  If Aaron & The Spell's 2013 successes are any indicator of better things then great things are happening in 2014.  In '13 Aaron & the Spell were featured on the XPoNential Festival lineup, completely revisited Stevie Wonder's Innervisions and managed to be the only band to play Sofar Sounds twice for Philadelphia in 2013 (Jan & Nov)!

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 shared the stage wit

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.
