#CoverClub - Special Announcement - Live at Church of Kong April 6th

In just under two weeks, a very special edition of #CoverClub will take place live at Church of Kong. This is the monthly series featuring TJ Kong of TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb and a selection of rotating friends. The series is a wonderful way to wake up on a sleepy Center City Philly morning. The combination of the Nodding Heads killer brews, yummy menu and live tunes are great. When you allow the Kong touch on the lineup to be applied and it's a fantastic morning.

LIVE AT CHURCH OF KONG

The Cover Club crew is eager to capture some new TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb for our Philly-centric cover series. The original track stands to be one of their brand new songs, while the Philly-centric cover is yet to be announced. Come join us to see the tapings before they are released in the upcoming months on YouTube.

Be sure to stay for the intense line-up. Ron Gallo returns for another Church of Kong, as he selects from new solo work and his library of Toy Soldiers tunes. Ladybird (Cecilia Ferneborg, Laura Szklarski, & Sarah Larsen) and Dirty Dollhouse (Chelsea Mitchell, Vanessa Winters, and Amber Twait) each are ready to impress with trios of awesomeness.

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...

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
