The Roots Report: the Soundtrack of Summer The Roots Report: The Soundtrack of Summer Okee dokee folks … “Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.” That line is from one of the best summer songs ever recorded: “Summer Breeze” by Seals and Crofts. If summer had the feel of this song, I might like it more, but it usually leans more toward Bananarama’s “Cruel Summer,” so I am miserable during the heat of June, July and August. Whatever the weather, a good soundtrack for the season definitely makes it more bearable. There is plenty of music to go around this summer. Check back throughout the summer months to find out the best choices for “Hot Fun in the Summer time” (that’s Sly, baby!). Read on for what I have now … What better way to celebrate the official start of summer?

To check out the summer schedule, chill over to narrowscenter.org What better time is there to learn to play an instrument than during the summer? What better instrument is there to learn during the summer than the ukulele? It is small, portable, cheap, easy to play, festive, and you can sit outside and practice. Fortunately, Wakefield Music is bringing back the “Meet the Uke” workshops by Jim Beloff. The first class on Jun 25 introduces you to the basics of playing the ukulele including holding, tuning, strumming and making chords. The second workshop, “The Next Step,” continues on Jul 23 and is designed for intermediate to advanced players.

  • If Sarah Jarosz Has Earned Anything, It's an End to All That Talk About How
    If Sarah Jarosz has earned anything, it’s an end to all that talk about how mature she is for her age. It was understandable that people would marvel at the poise the singer- songwriter-picker showed as a teenaged debut artist. But by now she’s spent half a decade in the spotlight, completed a degree at the New England Conservatory, guested on Tim O’Brien, Crooked Still and Kate Rusby albums and recorded three of her own. O’Brien, Crooked Still’s Aoife O’Donovan, and virtually every other innovative A-lister in the contemporary acoustic world were all over Jarosz’s first and second collections. But her latest, Build Me Up From Bones, puts her nimble trio (with Alex Hargreaves on fiddle and Nathaniel Smith on cello) and expressive self-realization front and center. To put it another way, she sounds like the tuned-in young woman she is. There’s just one more thing you ought to know about Jarosz at this juncture, and that is that she’s a real trooper. The day of our interview, my phone line was plagued with dense, unrelenting static; I might as well have had it plugged into a white noise machine at full volume. Faced with having to communicate through that racket, many an interviewee wouldn’t have been able to hold it together, or wouldn’t have even tried. But she was a total, thoughtful pro. JH: You recorded Build Me Up From Bones during your final semester of college. That makes this the first time you’ve gone into the album promotion cycle without having all those competing demands on your time and energy.

  • Band the Rank Strangers, Pete Vendettuoli
    Roots Report: On the Road Again Okee dokee folks … I am on my way back north going 70mph along Route 95. No, I am not driving. My girlfriend is. I have written my column in odd places before, but never in a moving car. We just spent a week at her father’s in South Carolina. It was interesting to be there considering I am not a fan of the south nor am I a fan of the hot weather. The temperature averaged ABOVE 95 degrees the whole time that we were there. Thank goodness for air conditioning. It took two days of driving to travel the 1,100 miles. We went the long way around and down in order to avoid cities and traffic. No, we weren’t on the lam! Route 95 tends to attract traffic, which we are hitting only 20 miles into our return journey. GRRRRR!!! It seemed an odd time to be visiting SC in light of the church shootings and Confederate flag controversy. Honestly, other than the news on TV, we didn’t hear anything about those issues. In fact, I didn’t see one Confederate flag anywhere. We were kind of in a bubble. We stayed at a gated community for people 55 and over. It was a HUGE place that felt like a small town. They have their own rules and security force. Oh, and alligators! The gators will just hang out in people’s backyards or along the side of the road depending on the time of day. Unfortunately, I only saw the top of one’s head and another one swimming away along a drainage ditch.

  • The California Special"
    To: WATERMARK PROGRAM SUBSCRIBERS From: Tom Rounds Re: "THE CALIFORNIA SPECIAL" Saturday, May 31, 1975 Our producer, Ron Jacobs, calls it "better than the History of Rock and Roll or the Elvis Presley Story". He, along with just about everybody else in the Southern California music community has been swept up in the tremendous enthusiasm building for Watermark's latest radio program production: "The California Special". Our 4 color brochure, which I promised a few weeks ago, won't be ready for this week's mailing, so we've re-printed the ad that will break next week. I've also enclosed a postcard, which you should fill out and return, even if you are just remotely interested. If you send in the postcard, we'll send you the demo tape just as soon as it's produced•.. about June 15. The complete 6 hour special will be ready shortly thereafter. "The California Special" will be a new kind of rockumentary, It' 11 be based on all the Southern California hits from 1960 through 1975, but the emphasis will be on the "summer fun and sun'' hits and artists .•. Beachboys, Jan & Dean, etc. The license will allow unlimited use through March of 1977, and we think you' 11 be able to get at least two runs out of the six hours this summer if you move fast. Because the content and the music is so comprehensive, it's probably an easy sell, if you decide to go that way. The ideal scheduling, if your advance programming commitments permit, would call for Sunday afternoon 12Noon-6PM.

  • Sarah Jarosz's Build Me up from Bones Receives Rave Reviews from The
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OCTOBER 2013 SARAH JAROSZ’S BUILD ME UP FROM BONES RECEIVES RAVE REVIEWS FROM THE PRESS ALBUM QUICKLY ASCENDS TO #2 SPOT ON AMERICANA RADIO CHART “With ‘Build Me Up From Bones’ (Sugar Hill) her third album, she moves past precocity toward the full bloom of artistry: the singing is more deeply self- assured, and the songs are grounded in truer emotional terrain.” - The New York Times Nashville, TN – Build Me Up From Bones, the third studio album from 22-year old Grammy nominated singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Sarah Jarosz has received unanimous praise from the press. Released on September 24th, the album has quickly jumped to the #2 spot at Americana radio. After four years of balancing a career with her studies at the New England Conservatory, Jarosz, along with musicians Alex Hargreaves on fiddle and Nathaniel Smith on cell0, both prodigies in their own right, are hitting the road uninterrupted for the first time ever. Positive response for Build Me Up From Bones has come from a wide range of outlets including USA Today, Boston Globe, CMT Edge, Southern Living, American Songwriter, Texas Monthly, M Music & Musicians, Texas Music Magazine, Fretboard Journal, Lone Star Music, Christian Science Monitor, Country Weekly, The Austin Chronicle, PopMatters.com, Stereo Subversion, Nashville Scene and The Chicago Reader who wrote, “…her lyrics have a cosmic streak, but her dynamic arrangements and adaptations of traditional forms keep the music grounded.” Famed economist Paul Krugman, a longtime supporter and true believer, premiered Jarosz’s video for “1,000 Things” in his widely read New York Times blog, and the trio recently taped a NPR Tiny Desk Concert to be posted later this year.
