Jubilee Jubilee Is About Heartbreak and Overcoming Heartbreak About Jubilee Jubilee is about heartbreak and overcoming heartbreak. You'll hear acoustic music, you'll hear music with the resonator. You'll definitely hear a more eclectic sound of music compared to Songs of a Renegade. The words are better and the playing is better. – Greg Sover About the Greg Sover Band Greg Sover is starting out 2018 on all cylinders! Greg’s new EP Jubilee is releasing on January 8th. And the Greg Sover Band will be competing at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis beginning January 17th, representing the Steel City Blues Society of Phoenixville, PA. Jubilee is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Songs of a Renegade, Sover’s 2016 debut album, which put him on the map and announced that he is one of the top emerging blues artists in Philadelphia and beyond. Sover has gotten airplay not only on his hometown station, WXPN in Philadelphia, but Jubilee Credits on blues radio around the country and around the world. 1. Emotional 4:23 2. Jubilee 3:42 Sover’s success is due in large part to his band of three Philly veterans with 3. Hand on My Heart 5:59 extensive resumes – bassist, musical director and co-producer Garry Lee, 4.

    DAN BUBIEN & THE DELTA STRUTS AWARD WINNING ROOTS & BLUES A great band that delivers on all the goodies. Dan Bubien & The Delta Struts put a contemporary spin on soulful roots music. Booking: 724-624-4594 [email protected] http://www.danbubien.com/ What You Get…… Emotionally evoking songs driven by the dynamic guitar playing duo of Dan Bubien and Shawn Mazzei, along with Bubien’s soulful gritty vocals. Their signature sound is highlighted by the precision playing and deep toned-full sound of drummer Mark Pollera and glued together by Christian Caputo’s steady, groove oriented bass playing. “Stunningly written and well crafted songs. Bubien squeezes every emotion from a song with his voice and guitar. As for the band, well they don't get any better than this!” “Bubien's vocals growl and rise and fall as if he is howling at a full moon.” “Bubien certainly possesses an extraordinary voice that has a power but also a more soulful side that lends itself well to all that is required to send each and every song to dizzying heights!” “Bubien wailing as if his life depended on it stripping back his soul to allow his guitar to cut even deeper as it weeps and moans with a thousand stories. With every note and chord there are tears and pain that we can feel, Perfect Blues!!!” Peter Merrett, PBS106.7, Melbourne, Australia Quotables Bubien’s exquisite vocals and stunning slide guitar combines Glorious Soul drenched Blues that en- velops the listener in a cocoon of aural delight, and Hard rockin' Rock/Blues that drives along with a take no prisoner attitude that is full of swagger and bravado.” Peter Merrett, PBS106.7, Melbourne, Australia “Fine musicians, powerful songs, and albums of material that have a real listenability.

  • Lili Añel Singer/Songwriter/Recording Artist
    Lili Añel singer/songwriter/recording artist For Lili Añel, music is a calling. There is nothing else she sees herself doing. “I don't think I could be anything but a singer-songwriter- performer; I truly believe this is why God put me here,” she said. The six-foot tall singer-songwriter, who has had a lengthy career she continues to build on, grew up in New York City. She discovered her passion while singing along to albums she listened to as a child and singing in church. Her grandfather encouraged her to keep singing if it made her happy. To this day, Lili thinks that is one of the forces that put her down the path she is on right now. Her mother also encouraged her. “My Grandfather was very influential and was instrumental in my deciding to pursue music full-time later on in life. I sang in the church choir and he would sneak in to the mass without telling me. I would ask him later, after letting him know that I saw him in the back, why he came to church at all and then leave before it was over. His response was “to hear you sing; I can hear your voice above the others.” After I discovered my musical self, my Mom was also influential. When she became ill with cancer, I was going to put music on hold and dedicate all my time to caring for her. She forbid me,” recalled Lili. “She told me if I stopped performing and she died, she'd haunt me – it was her way of saying that I should keep going.

  • Phoenix Bues Society
    PHOENIX BLUES SOCIETY – BLUESBYTES It’s been eleven years since James Armstrong’s last release, an eternity in the music business. When he burst onto the scene in the mid 90’s with his debut recording for Hightone Records, he seemed destined to be the “next big thing,” but they don’t call this music the blues for nothing. Armstrong barely survived a robbery in 1997, in which he was nearly stabbed to death and his son was nearly killed. The stabbing affected his guitar playing, he compensated by learning to play slide guitar, but his songwriting and vocal talents were unscathed as he went on to record two fine subsequent albums for Hightone in 1998 and 2000. Eleven years later, Armstrong is now with CatFood Records, and his latest release, Blues At The Border, shows that his absence has been our loss. He’s still writing some impressive tunes. The humorous title track examines the difficulties musicians face traveling by air and overseas and was co-written with Armstrong by his girlfriend, Madonna Hamel, who lives in Canada. He also penned a few more conventional blues titles, including “Nothing Left To Say” and “Devil’s Candy.” “Young Man With The Blues” is a moving tribute to his father, a jazz musician who raised Armstrong as a single parent and gave him his love for music. Armstrong also covers a pair of tunes from Dave Steen (“High Maintenance Woman,” featuring a cameo from Hamel, and “Good Man, Bad Thing.”), along with a trio of songs from Catfood’s all-around man, bass player/producer Bob Trenchard (the cool blues shuffle, “Long Black Car,” “Somebody Got To Pay,” co-written by Sandy Carroll, and “Baby Can You Hear Me,” co-written by Kay Kay Greenwade).

  • Motif Interviews Keith Zarriello of the Shivers
    Motif Interviews Keith Zarriello of The Shivers The first time I ever saw Keith Zarriello, he walked onto a darkened stage with an antique oil lamp and belted out an a capella stunner about owning the stage and how he was going to die when he is 30. I was instantly captivated, and over the next year dove into the gold mine of his music. Since their start in New York City in the early 2000s, The Shivers has been everything from a five-piece rock band to a solo act, with Zarriello’s melancholic, beautiful songwriting at the forefront. His songs are often odes to past loves or celebrations of current romances, but the lyrics are much more personal and visceral than those songs about hitting the bottle after a breakup. A particularly interesting part of his songwriting is that he carries lyric and melodic motifs across songs and even entire albums (see “Love is Good” from Phone Calls and “Love is Good” from Beaks to the Moon, the same song in different styles). But the repeated elements are anything but stale; Zarriello finds novel ways of repurposing them. The Shivers’ albums also are full of twisting experimental interludes that glue the songs together. Live, his magnetic voice fills the room and his fingerpicking is at times equally aggressive and sensitive. I’ve never heard one person permeate a room like he does. Mining the pain of isolation and lost love for art isn’t a new concept, but Zarriello has been finding new ways to explore it for over a decade.

Those late night conversations under the stars often drifted in the direction of big questions. What’s out there in the star speckled night sky? What in the world are we up to? What makes life worth living? During this past year the Center for Faith Devel- opment at Round Hill Community Church began to wonder how we might form a faith formation pro- gram around one of these big life questions. In that process of discernment, we discovered that the Center for Faith and Culture at Yale University developed for Games Bouncy Castle its students a new class entitled “Life Worth Living.” Round Hill Express Train Rides That captured our imagination: what would it mean Ben’s Ice Cream Truck to examine this theme as a congregation that lives at the intersection of faith and culture? And to do so for an entire year! To design the program, we enlisted the counsel of John Roberto, an outstanding educator who helps communities across the nation with these kinds of endeavors. So this year we will have an opportunity to learn and grow in faith together by participating in a unique educational program that has been designed especially for Round Hill Community Church.

  • Garland Jeffreys 14 Steps to Harlem Song by Song
    Garland Jeffreys 14 Steps To Harlem Song By Song Album cover; Photo credit: Myriam Santos WHEN YOU CALL MY NAME This one was uncovered on an old and very rough demo from a writing session I did with Jimmy Harry in New York back in the day. Jimmy has written for a lot of greats, including Madonna, Pink, Diplo and Kylie Minogue, and my wife was the one who pushed for it since she’d always dug the demo and thought it had something. We worked it up and James Maddock created an ‘80s synth vibe, a kind of Blondie meets The Cult thing, layering the guitars and keyboards. As close to pure pop as I get! SCHOOLYARD BLUES A straight ahead blues tune, I’ve done this one live once in a while for a couple of years and in keeping with the spirit of the record and memories of growing up in Brooklyn, we decided to record it and Brian Mitchell kills it on the harmonica. It’s a true story—there were some neighborhood guys in the playground with at least a foot height advantage on me, but it didn’t keep me from playing. It’s kind of a short guy’s fight song! 14 STEPS TO HARLEM We consider this the heart of the album. I hope that when people hear it they know that it’s an homage to my parents—especially my father—for working all those years to support my brother and me. We didn’t have a lot of money, but they managed to send both of us to college, something they never had the opportunity to do.
