Howdy Projectiles,

We won't be able to use the studio in August and possibly not in Septemberf. Cablevision's studio tech will be on maternity leace:

We taped two fine shows in June:

669) 6/15/17 Fendrick & Peck - Full of wonderful spirit, creativity, and heart, Fendrick & Peck’s neo-traditionalist folk music is a brave concoction of mature lyrics with delicate melodies, exquisite harmonies, and a dash of old school. “Talent by soul mates,” said one audience member. With a constantly evolving performance experience, filled with old poems that stir the heart, evocative songs played on aged acoustic instruments, and charming stories, an evening with them is food for the soul. They live and thrive in the awkward space between deep questions and deep knowing with sparkling humor and enthusiasm. www.fendrickandpeck.com

670) 6/15/17 Philadelphia Phil – with Miss Jade on unique combination of Americana, Blues, Western Swing and New Orleans flavors, music that has lit up festival stages from Pennsylvania to Kentucky and Ohio, and venues from Chicago to Lexington, Philadelphia to Kansas City… eclectic blend of original acoustic music, along with interpretations of traditional selections, www.reverbnation/philadelphiaphil
