This has been a year of a lot of emotional ups and downs. A year for a lot of great new music by so many fine musicians that I'm having trouble narrowing down my favorites to fit into one show. But it has also been a year of loss. For me it was the first time that a close friend and former business partner passed away. In our local music community, one of my favorite bands, The Whopner County Country Allstars, lost their bass player JP Scofield. I did not know JP outside of seeing him perform with the band, but listening to his songs this week I found JP's songs often evolved from his personal life and the difficulties he had getting through each day. I will remember him more for his great performances with the Allstars in which he always seemed to give 110% to putting on a good show and having a good time doing it. We will miss you JP.
This week being the solstice I asked local guitarist Brian Cutean to stop by and play us a couple of tunes and tell us some stories. Brian's guitar work is some of the best instrumental playing around. Even though I consider him more as a folk musician/story teller, his wordless guitar work rivals that of any classical guitarist and is perfect for reflecting on the season and the past year. Check out the concert calendar for Brian's performances this week.
