Welcome to Season Two of Philly-centric video series, Cover Club. Cover Club is best conceptualized as “A special brand of Philly covers”, akin to The Onion’s AV Undercover series but with one caveat: the song being covered must originally be from a Philly artist.
Back in June 2013, the first time I met Small Houses was a Sofar Sounds: Philadelphia show in the Northern Liberties section of town. The adopted Philadelphian felt like a friend from the minute you met him.
From the June 2013 Sofar Sounds Philadelphia review:
"First on the bill, at the Northern Liberties new row home, was Small Houses: the Michigan-bred, Philadelphia-based, rambling one-man band. The crowd settled in rather quickly, whether coming in after work or arriving from another #MakeMusicPhilly show. For his set, Jeremy Quentin treated the crowd to raw cuts from his 2013 release Exactly Where You Wanted to Be and two new yet to be recorded tracks. With a folk-gravelly voice meets Bruce Springsteen sincerity, his pure acoustic set was an immediate and perfect discharge from the hectic late June day. Watching Jeremy Quentin, who was just as chill as his music, you could see that the tunes put him in his happy place, singing songs of love and longing. The highlight was when 'Our Sweet' turned even sweeter as a captivating duet with Ali Wadsworth."
Those two unreleased tracks from the Sofar show, "Old Habits" and "Seventeen in Roselore" are among ten just released songs on the brand-new album Still Talk; Second City (released Feb 10th, 2015). It's the latter that Small Houses picked for their Cover Club original take.
