Here is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, the heart of the spring and summer. The big news is that my trio, Craicdown, has it's new CD in hand! The official release is scheduled Sunday, October 24! We will have a party and festivities at a place announced later. This labor of love was 2 years in the making and we hope it worth the wait.
The band consists of Rob Sharer on string and wind instruments. He also sings, writes and jumps from tall buildings (or small walls). David DiGiuseppe plays accordion and cittern and he writes as well. I play percussion like a drum set and drum set like percussion. See if you can follow that one.
The music isn’t easily pigeonholed but imagine if the Duhks met the Bryds and flew around the world together! – that could be us more or less without the harmony singing and the 12 string electric! Three diverse musicians following their own “Roads” finally converge in a place called CRAICDOWN (crack-down) meaning a good time or party. Party with purpose and make some serious music while you’re at it!
You won’t have to wait till October to get it as it is up on CD Baby!
