#CoverClub - Hezekiah Jones covers Johnny Miles

By


The Hezekiah Jones Cover Club session had been in the works for over a year when it was recorded in early April of this year at Cambridge Sound Studios. Since it was first discussed, a lot has changed in that time, but one thing that hasn’t is Johnny Miles place among the band as a favorite artist.

According to Raph of Hezekiah Jones, “Johnny Miles is a songwriting hero and I am honored to also call him a friend. It was hard to pick just one song from such a prolific and talented writer.” Raph explained, “Sailors” is off of Sign of the Times; one of my all time favorite albums. Johnny Miles’ lyrics melt me.

The session was recorded in April at Jim Salamone‘s Cambridge Sound Studios with Matthew Phillips, Todd Mecaughey, and Alex Kopertowski.


Cover Club: Hezekiah Jones "Sailors" (Johnny Miles Cover)








In less than two weeks, patron fans who supported the band via their PledgeMusic campaign will be receiving their digital downloads for new music!!!! The Pledge Release is set(if all goes well!) for July 17th Digital and end of July/early August for receiving Physical Copies of In Loving Memory of oosi Lockjaw. Fear not, if you are digging your early taste of the album with the Cover Club version of “Spare the Wicked”, the last day to go to Pledgemusic.com and pledge for any special orders is July 17th. If not, after that you wait til November. A few final options remain, but signed copies of In Loving Memory of oosi Lockjaw, signed vinyl of ‘Have You Seen Our New Fort?‘ and , signed typed lyrics are still available.

In Loving Memory of oosi Lockjaw, which was recorded at/mixed with Matt Muir, Andrew Lipke, Brian McTear, Chris Dell’Osa, and Jim Salamone at Kawari, The Record Lounge, Miner Street, Haverhouse, and Cambridge Sound Studios respectively. is meant as a gently loving exorcism(letting go) of the peaceful/wrathful, latent/active, ghosts/demons(impressions/false understandings), that haunt our subtler bodies(spirit/astral/psychic) and which are yearning to be free from us as well.

The Cover Club Session original “Spare the Wicked”, gives a taste of the first Hezekiah Jones full length in about 3 1/2 years since Have You Seen Our New Fort? For fans that didn’t jump on the opportunity to pledge for the new album this will be the first new Hezekiah Jones material since the two instrumentals for the Multimedia book ‘Slice of Life‘ last year. Written by Raphael Cutrufello, he explains “Spare the wicked” asks to spare us all. There is not a being on this planet that doesn’t struggle and is not worth redeeming.”

Bands Pick The Bands - 2016 XPoNential Music Festival Presented by Subaru - Artists Preview

By
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 Release Q&A - Sonja Sofya answers some questions for "Patterns We Know"

By
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

Root Down Is A Sometime Thing...

By
From the desk of Root Down: Greetings Friends!  It's been a bit, how've ya been? What's new? I've been gone for some time and I feel that I owe everyone an explanation of where I've been.   Honestly, I haven't gone anywhere. Since I've last posted, I've still been frequenting my favorite record store, been hitting up local shows, hosted a few house shows, traveling for special shows, and making music a large part of my life.  What I haven't been doing is losing countless hours fretting over knowing every new artist, tweeting, and losing sleep editing articles that spend less time getting read than I spent writing.  I can definitively tell you that I'm DONE attempting to make Root Down In The Shadow "a thing" in the music world.   I don't need Twitter followers, a lively blog, or anyone else's validation to share my love for music. It doesn't help my enjoyment of music to follow a shit-ton of bands on eve
