Sean Hoots / Cover Club Session / Original Track / 'Move Me'

Earlier this week we revealed the Sean Hoots solo cover of the BoyzIIMen hit 'It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday'.  In just a few days, the video has already crept near the top of our most played #CoverClub videos.  It was during a winter session three weeks ago at Nomad Recording Studio where Sean Hoots also recorded an original song with the working title 'Move Me.'  Even in the raw state that is presented via Cover Club; 'Move Me' has the rare quality of being a song you feel well acquainted with within seconds of hearing it.

Cover Club | Sean Hoots "Move Me" 


'Move Me' is amongst a collection of songs Hoots & Hellmouth are working on fine tuning in the next several weeks in preparation for an upcoming release.  It's possible it could be played in the annual Valentine's Day shows at Tin Angel.  For sure, you'll hear it during their residency in May at Boot & Saddle.


Sean Hoots has been busy removed from the usual Hoots & Hellmouth touring.  Projects such as a Volume 2 follow-up to Raise The Dead Language Vol 1 are expected soon.  Other adventures include Sean playing numerous shows, including the recent slot for the Mason Porter album release show.

With another solo Sean Hoots song, fans of Hoots & Hellmouth might be getting a little antsy.  But, rest-assured the hiatus is nearly over.  The much needed break for Hoots & Hellmouth was a little time for re-charging.  Sean explained, "It felt we were being painted into a corner, with fans coming to shows expecting some rowdy stomping.  It wasn't the only factor to the unit and we needed to explore beyond that.  [Hoots & Hellmouth] wasn't created, intending to be Americana or rootsy, rather a solid rock & roll band."  The energy has been great, but "there's no stomping going on when sitting at home writing it on the couch."

  1. I think sometimes bands do get pushed into a corner. I've heard it happen with the songs of some of the artistes I like. They start out with a broad range, then fans end up liking a particular song or style and before you know it, they end up being expected to produce just songs in that particular style or perform a particular way.

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.
