 Podcast #97: Vinegar Creek Constituency and Skirtin’ the Curtain with Joanna Underhill | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 32:03

The Vinegar Creek Constituency has been a Lancaster music scene staple for over a half dozen years. The band plays with bluegrass instrumentation, but provides audiences with a very high energy rock 'n roll attitude mixing American roots music from bluegrass to gypsy jazz to blues, rock, and country. Leo DiSanto, guitarist, vocalist, and primary songwriter in Vinegar Creek, joined me for a chat about the band's latest album, Don't Go Back in Time. The album was recorded live to tape at Right Coast Recording here in Lancaster County and was released this past January. Other members of the band include Mark Rast on banjo, Pete DiVitry on fiddle, and Jeff Bryson on mandolin and lead vocals on a handful of songs. Along with full band shows, Leo and Jeff often perform on the road or at smaller local gigs as the Vinegar Creek Duo, and Leo also occasionally performs solo. You can find all of their tour dates on the band's website and download a copy of Don't Go Back in Time.

 Podcast #96: The Slackwater News and John Modern | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 32:52

The Slackwater News is a Lancaster band that is self-described as landing somewhere between indie rock and freak folk. It doesn't really matter what that means, as the band's live show is turning heads well beyond the Lancaster area. The band formed over many years of playing together in a variety of projects, some of which date all the way back to high school. Over the past five years or so, the band has been working hard and honing their craft. On Halloween 2012 they released a self-produced six-song EP called Graveyard Mates. Vocalist and guitarist Dan Zdilla and drummer Matt Blank joined me for a conversation about the band and some of the stories behind the songs. Here's the official video for Ghosts: Here's the video of The Slackwater News with Gene Ween at ABC in Harrisburg: A Modern Look at Classic Albums John Modern is a Religious Studies professor at Franklin and Marshall College and the co-host of Solid Side Vinyl with Jeremy Seedorf, Thursdays from 9 to 11pm on WFNM 89.1.

 Podcast #93: The Young Lancaster Music Scene | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 33:54

Jesse Baker, The Districts, and Unusual Suspects are on the program to talk about life as young independent musicians in Lancaster. The average age of the members these bands is about 19. We wanted to feature a few of these young bands on the show, but also wanted to tap into their thoughts on launching their music careers here in Lancaster. How do you balance school and music? How is the Lancaster music scene for bands finishing or just out of high school? Jesse Baker Jesse Baker is a pop-rock singer-songwriter who broke into the Lancaster music scene in a big way over the past year. Working as a power trio with a rhythm section including one musician still in high school and another in college, 20 year old Baker released his debut full-length album, Tearin’ Down the Walls (FREE Download) in 2012. Jesse started the new year with a brand new four-piece band that he'll be working with going forward. The Districts The Districts are three high school seniors and a 2012 high school graduate who play a unique flavor of gritty blues and soul inspired rock. Frontman and guitarist Rob Grote attacks the music with a passionate intensity well beyond his years. The band broke into the Philly scene last year and all members plan to move to Philly in the fall where a couple of them will be starting college.   Unusual Suspects Unusual Suspects is a folk, blues, and gypsy jazz quartet from Lancaster built around singer and guitarists Jordan Rast and Tuck Ryan. Jordan is a sophomore at Millersville University and Tuck is a senior in high school. The Suspects evolved from a band that Jordan put together in 2011 to support his latest solo album, Fractured Love, that included the same rhythm section, Evan Graver on drums and Peter Reist on upright bass.

 Podcast #90: Mandalele and Anne Kirby from The Candy Factory | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 32:18

Mandalele is a folk trio that formed in Sperryville, VA, a small town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The band is made up of Lorraine Duisit (vocals, mandolin, guitars) and Wendi Sirat (vocals, ukekele, percussion), and Lancaster native Frances Miller (vocals, violin, viola, hang drum). All three women are songwriters and multi-instrumentalists creating very unique tapestry of sound that has been captured beautifully on their debut album, Riddled in Rhyme. Frances spent several of her childhood years in Kenya and her post-high school years living in various parts of the United States including Sperryville, where she met Lorraine and Wendi. She moved back to the Lancaster area during the spring of 2012 with her husband, Tim Sauder to open Fiddle Creek Dairy, a small dairy farm in southern Lancaster County. Since moving back to back to the area, Frances has performed with Dr. Amanda Kemp and Theatre for Transformation, worked alongside violinist Michael Jamanis at a summer strings camp with Music for Everyone, performed several concerts with our world-influenced folk band, Sopa Sol, and was the pied-fiddler in the Wood Stove House production of Plays Grounds, our onsite theater event during the 2012 Spring ArtWalk here in Lancaster. She has had no trouble quickly becoming an integral part of the Lancaster creative scene.

 Podcast #87: Jaws to the World and…it’s Mickel Time! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 26:13

Creative Works of Lancaster is a Lancaster non-profit with a mission to fuel and sustain Lancaster City's cultural renaissance. Over the past few years, their focus has been primarily theater, producing free outdoor theater in Musser Park during the last two summers, and pushing the edges a bit with holiday shows like the 2010 Yule Laugh and 2011’s Christmas on Mars. Other past projects include a mobile art gallery on Lancaster First Fridays and partnering with Wood Stove House for Lancaster's 24 Plays 2011. One thing that has definitely set Creative Works apart has been a series of sock puppet shows written as parodies of major motion pictures. The latest and third in the series, Jaws to the World, a Holiday Sock Opera will be performed twice next Sunday, December 16 (6pm and 8pm) and then three times on December 30th (4pm, 6pm & 8pm) at Lancaster Dispensing Co.

 Podcast #86: Katy Glorioso and Live at the Ware Center | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 26:53

Katy Glorioso is a singer-songwriter from York, Pennsylvania who exploded onto the Central PA music scene in the wake of the release of her debut full length album in May 2012. The album, called Fine and Foolish, features 10 of Katy's tracks produced by Nashville songwriter and producer, Jeremy Casella. Although she's new on the Central PA music scene, she hasn’t wasted any time turning heads. She has already played shows at the Chameleon Club in Lancaster, the Abbey Bar at Appalachian Brewing in Harrisburg, and will be at World Cafe Live in Philly on January 12. You can find her on Facebook and Reverbnation.
