Ryan Anderson – 08-03-07- Live at the 930!

Drake — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 19:30:10 +0000

I have been digging through the back catalog over the past few weeks and found a unique show… Ryan Anderson played an acoustic set with John Whitaker back in 2007. Any show in 2007 was a small show, and this one was bare bones. Very small captive audience, stripped down acoustic sets for both artists, and the recording is a raw soundboard tap and it shows. If you can get past the rugged un-polished recording then you might enjoy the transparent singer-songwriter performances of the show.

My Brightest Diamond – 11-12-09 – Live at the 930!

My Brightest Diamond

We’ve been saving this one for a rainy day… 2 years late, but better late than never. Ladies and gentlemen, My Brightest Diamond! If you’ve never heard this group you are in for a treat. If Nora Jones sang is a knarly rockn’roll band, this would be it. The complete show is available for free download in the audio section.

Part of the reason for the delay is all the work that needed to be done due to audio source dropouts… This problem is most evident on the encore ‘Freakout!’ but for the majority of the recording is not noticeable due to extensive editing. The place was packed and somehow the power supply on my old MOTU got a bit jolted.. Thankfully the unit stuck it out til the bitter end, and we now have a beautiful souveneer of the show! I recorded bands for 6 years prior to that problem, and it was the last gig done on that unit.

The recording balances out about 2 minutes into the first song. From then on it is very consistent. Be sure to thank My Brightest Diamond for allowing us to release this for free to the public!

Bowerbirds – 11-16-09 – Live at the 930!

Drake — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:25:11 +0000

Live at the 930 Listening Room on November 26th, 2009 - Louisville, KY

The Bowerbirds performance from November 16th is now available for download in the audio section. ( Alternately you can listen to the full concert via our podcast, or streaming directly in your browser via the embedded player at the bottom of this post.)

A small note: The fuzz on the guitar is not part of the recording process, but rather was a malfunction of the amp on stage. It was in need of repair but the Bowerbirds played on despite this setback! I attempted to ‘mellow out’ the tone but I could only do so much. The recording is a 4 channel matrix, and although very simple, captured the night beautifully! Enjoy!

The Muckrakers Last Show – Audio Download

Drake — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:00:07 +0000

The last Muckraker’s show is now available for download!

This stands as the final souvenir of the Muckrakers’ 12 year long career. The last show took place at Headliners Music Hall (Louisville, KY) on July 17, 2009. The show was a 23 track blast through almost every Muckrakers song ever written. The performance was buffered by various guest appearances and a lengthy jam on Working My Way as the triumphant finale. Far and away the best Muckrakers show I have ever seen. Those guys had alot of heart.

Coming this Saturday…

This is just a short note to let everyone know that tomorrow (Saturday) we will be uploading the complete recording of the Muckrakers last concert. The last performance of the Muckrakers was a wonderful show filled with tons of great guests. The band came out with tons of heart and poured themselves into the entire show. The recording and will be made public tomorrow. Should be a great souvenir for anyone who was at the show, as well as for anyone who has never heard of the Muckrakers.

The Mike Mangione and Brooks Ritter performance from back in July is available for download! The show is beautiful. Mike Mangione and his band are phenomenal players and the new stuff they showcased is as impressive as the material from their first tour! Brooks Ritter writes his music like its his last day on earth. He writes from his heart.

Wovenhand performed at the 930 Listening Room last October… Fantastic performance. I had never heard of Wovenhand prior to this gig, and I will make every attempt to see his band live if they come near Louisville again. I will refrain from over-hyping the performance and would much rather let you hear a sample on the podcast below. If you dig it, download the whole show in the audio downloads section. The guys in the band were extremely kind to allow this release. Please send them a kind word on their site if you appreciate this recording!

Content updates!

The Nadus fundraiser event was an all-encompassing task that we are only now beginning to recover from! We recorded every band at the event and are in the process of polishing and mastering the tracks for every band that has requested them. We will soon be featuring podcast interviews, track samples and digital photography from a few of the bands from the gig.

We are preparing several live shows for download. Some of those shows include Mike Mangione, Vandaveer, Brooks Ritter, Tim Fite, Jamie Barnes, Judd and Maggie, Cool Hand Luke, Foxhole and many others. A few people have requested specific shows, so I will post those in the other that they have been requested. If there is a specific gig you would like to hear just let us know.

Lots of content on the way!
