We recorded April Verch and her band on April 25 when they came to the WPSU studios as part of the Acoustic Brew concert series. They were in fine form, instrumentally, vocally, and percussively (listen for Verch's footwork !), and sound and recording engineer Jim Thorne captured it all beautifully.

Elana James and the Hot Club of Cowtown came to York PA as part of the Susquehanna Folk Music Society Concert Series, and Art Wachter was there with his recording gear. We've had an eye on them for years and are thrilled to have them on the Road Show!

The differences don't end there, but you'll have to chat with Mel sometime to understand the full depth of his abnormality.
