More in-studios

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

I’ll be posting a new show here on Wednesday or so, but I to invite you to check out the latest two in-studio sessions I’ve done at opbmusic: Point Juncture, WA and Blue Giant.

Both are Portland bands.

Point Juncture, WA is a four-piece, fronted by Amanda Spring, who also plays drums. Their 2005 album, Mama Auto Boss, still makes it into my player pretty regularly. Their recent follow-up, Heart to Elk, does not disappoint.

Blue Giant is a new band, started by Kevin and Anita Robinson, who have made music as Viva Voce for years. They recently started writing songs with a more southern feel, and recruited friends to play them with them. The results are fantastic.

Enjoy!

I hope you had a great holidays and New Year! I did.

January is actually one of my favorite times of year. The weather still isn’t great, but the days are starting getting longer, my body’s circadian rhythms tell me to start going places, doing things, and seeing people again. Six hours of daylight makes me hibernate, and now it’s time to go find some honey.
