intro
From our small city to the great big world, these are the Sounds Of Burlington. I just got back from seeing music at the last installment of Summervale, the weekly festival that happens every Thursday in Burlington’s Intervale. The darkness began settling in during the middle of the set and the change of seasons is upon us. The music was great, and I’ll talk about that in a bit, but one person has done a lot to make the music happen, Joe Adler, and it was his birthday. To help celebrate, I’m going to go back to an album I received last week and play a fun song.
1.) Happy Birthday Freak Of Science – Mailbox 2.) Super Sexy Science Party – Wave of the Future 3.) Papa’s Child – Currently Nameless
It was fun reading Dan Bolles mention of nameless and finding the balance of clever but not too clever for their name. They are playing a reunion show at Higher Ground Saturday night. Cool party song from Wave and great song from Adam Rabin. At Summervale tonight is was Michael Chorney, Francesca Blanchard, and Joe Adler. Each told a story then played a song then passed it to the next player. Michael was a bit more quiet but his guitar playing was so elegant. Francesca played guitar beautifully and had some great articulation to her vocals all night long. Joe was the storytelling ringmaster and played a bunch of fun songs. Here is a hint of what it sounded like.
4.) A Quiet Pun – Joe Adler 5.) Wanderer – Francesca Blanchard 6.) Guitar – Michael Chorney
Such great music tonight. Yea, Joe has played a lot of music in this town and booked a lot of music in this town and has gotten a lot of people excited about music in this town and it’s his birthday, so let’s play some of his music.
7.) Coffee & Eggs – Joe Adler 8.) Brothers And Sisters – Joe Adler 9.) Burning Down The House – Joe Adler & The Rangers Of Danger
That was Joe and the band live at Nectar’s. They are such a fun band. The song in the middle was from his star-studded solo album, and the first was from the 11-11-11 EP. OK, in non Joe news, this band is coming to The Monkey House on the 16th. They are a great band and I’ve loved them more and more every time I’ve seen them. You should really check them out Joe!!
10.) Until The Day I Die->I-78 – Slingshot Dakota 11.) Annex & Index – Doom Service 12.) Infamous U-Turn – Zola Turn
Classic song from the ’90’s. That’s a new Doom song from the F*@! Cancer compilation to raise money for Leukemia research. Their singer guitar player Jeff Foranhas been fighting it so I wanted to let people know about it, and bought a copy of the album today. Every little bit helps. Killer songs from Slingshot. OK, it’s time for the next song on JV, the killer album from The Mountain Says No. This may be one of the best songs from Burlington ever.
13.) The Bomb – The Mountain Says No 14.) Bomb – Envy 15.) All My Life – Wide Wail
Two great songs from the ’90’ and one from today. We’re so lucky in Burlington. Let’s keep rocking.
16.) Can’t Feel It – Vetica 17.) Yardsale – Lendway 18.) Hoping That I’m Wrong – Will
Great song from the Rutland band. Hmm, Lendway. OK, let’s play another fun Mailbox song.
19.) Under The Horse – Mailbox 20.) Freak Out Friday – Rue Mevlana 21.) By My Side – Kat Wright & The Indomitable Soul Band
Kat and the band are at Radio Bean tonight and playing on Church St next Thursday. Rue have a couple of shows coming up Saturday at the Off Center For The Dramatic Arts. This next singer is one of my all time favorites.
22.) Not True – Peg Tassey MUSIC 23.) Finder – The Madelines 24.) Mirror Mirror – Joe Adler and the Rangers of Danger
That was Joe and the band live at Nectar’s. Happy Birthday Joe! Finder was another classic ’90’s song. OK, time to take off I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town, let’s do it again next week, shall we. Here’s Black Rabbit to take us out.
25.) Sayonara – Black Rabbit Ourto
