Routes & Branches 5/25/13

I had Dennis Winslow, Dave Stricker, Stephanie Pranzetti and David Wall, otherwise known as the Portland band Shoebox Letters stop by the studio this week. They stopped by to preview a few of their new songs from the upcoming CD called "Crossing Words". Stephanie takes the lead vocal on "I Can Tell" an upbeat tune about young love. David wrote and takes the lead on "New Eyes Now" about changing one's outlook on a relationship. Dennis finished the set with a tune called "Boones Ferry Road" a country tinged rocker about facing the ghosts of one's past. I like all three tunes which showcase the diverse musical abilities of Shoebox Letters.

I had a conflict this week when both Corb Lund and The Black Lillies played a block away from each other on the same night. I hate it when that happens. Since my wife is a big Corb Lund fan, he won the decision, but I do like The Black Lillies' new CD "Runaway Freeway Blues" a lot.
