Spreadin' the word for some friends -- Katie Bowers Band recording

[midwayfair]

My friends played at the Takoma Park Folk Festival this year, which is actually kind of a big deal in the folk scene in our little corner of the world. They ended up with a board recording of the concert. They started off with like 10 people in seats and by the end of their set every seat was filled and there were a ton of people standing on the lawn.

"There's a Light" is particularly magical. It also has Katie singing lead on one of Joe Scala's best songs, Grounded, which I also cover. (His FAWM recording of that song friggin amazing.)

It's a free download if you want to pay nothin'.

Also, the drummer and third vocal on this, Mosno, is worth checking out for his own stuff.

I saw some of her stuff on youtube a while back. Her voice gets me all goosebumpy.

That's some really impressive stuff. The talent is getting killed by the recording quality, though. Epic voice over rink-dink sounds. Really kills it.

Yeah, it was just a board recording.

I'm seriously *this* close to bankrolling a trip to Beat Babies Studios for them.

There's a great chance it could be something special. I generally love the simple, stripped-down vibe, but when I listened to this I just kept imagining how great this would sound with a really BIG, lush, layered track.

I was thinking the same thing. The voice is amazing, but the guitar is way too thin.
