SLP Concerts has 8 shows coming to the Chameleon in Lancaster this month alone. Also Lamb of God will be in Reading. Be sure to check out their ad on page 2 for all the latest news and what is coming up. Gullifty’s last month had several awesome shows last month. There was a “Shark / Metron Reunion” show that was a huge success and loads of fun according to social media. Another project that Shea Quinn and fellow musicians have been working on for a long while, way before Bowie passed on, has been The Band Who Sold the World I didn’t get to go but I shared this review on the PA Musician Magazine facebook page and I want to share it with all my readers because this is a project that will make musical history with very talented PA musicians. Peter Brougher’s post... I’ve been an avid SHARKS fan since the early-mid 80s so going to see Shea Quinn’s ‘The Band Who Sold The World’ David Bowie Tribute last night I expected it to be a solid performance. Well my expectations were surpassed with each passing song. Joining Shea Quinn was fellow Sharks mate Marko Mark Showers on keyboards along with Scott Frange on bass,; Jennie James - Vocals; Mike Heininger - Guitar; - Joe Mohn - Drums/Vocals, Steve Lentz sax. Hands down the most enjoyable perfomance I’ve seen in quite some time. Granted I’m a huge Bowie fan so I’m a little biased but these cats did their homework and blew Gullifty’s Underground Night Club away. For any fan of David Bowie this show is a must see. Bravo! Scott Frange has been talking to me about this project for a couple of years and it’s great that it is now being performed for the public to enjoy. They are going to be recording a documentary and have several big events lined up. We will try to keep you posted. Decipher Life UHOHDVHGWKHLUÀUVW&'RQ$SULOWK, actually had the privilege of catching their show at Tubby’s one night and I was impressed. Decipher Life’s purpose is to rock out and go bat crazy with their fans.Brett

OUT ‘n’ ABOUT By Rachel Rocks
I’m learning once again the hard way, why procrastination sucks‌ I’m currently sitting in the ER which obviously wasn’t part of my plan, but Mom needs my article so nothing to it but to do it‌ On my phone‌ Luckily for me this was a pretty low key month, and I only saw 7 bands. 7KHÀUVWH[WUHPHO\URFNLQ¡QLJKW,KHDGHGXSWRTubby’s for Penntera. It was an earlier night out for me so I made it there in time for one opener Maiden Kaos. These guys obviously play a lot of Iron Maiden songs, which I DEVROXWHO\ORYH7KH\GHÀQLWHO\ZRXOGPDNH,URQ0DLGHQ proud. Not only does David have amazing vocals that can
soar through some of my favorite Maiden songs, but he’s backed by a spot on band too! It’s not too often you see WKHGDQFHà RRUSDFNHGIRUDQRSHQLQJEDQGEXWLWGHÀnitely was! I can guarantee they made some new fans that night, I know I am one of them. PennteraDOZD\VÀQGV some of the best supporting bands. The really cool part is how they support each other and swap shows and work together. That’s what we need way more of: Love, Peace, and Harmony. Speaking of love‌ Penntera URFNHG WKH VWDJH QH[W My plan was to just stop in for a few songs, but of course I stayed all night long! Every time I see these guys I am amazed. I absolutely love jumping, dancing, and singing along. I will never understand how musicians can bang their heads and continue to play and/or sing, that alone takes tons of talent. Jonny is like a little leapfrog up there hopping all over the stage! I really don’t know how he does it. The whole band has amazing stage presence that is tons of fun to watch. Pat Bowser is the newest member

Aaron & Joanie Zimmerman ...we love them ple off the stage too, connecting with everyone that comes to support them. Steel has a great solid night of music that keeps their fans entertained all night long. The following weekend started off with a new band to my ears, Hot Like Molly. It was awesome seeing another rockin’ female singing the night away! Jamie Kay Redden has some amazing pipes that keep your ears intrigued. She is also backed up nicely by Doug Geyer (who most of us know from Banished For Life), and her guitarist Mark Heisey, and bass player, Drew Barner. 7KH\KDYHDJUHDWVHWOLVWPL[HGZLWKPDQ\GLIIHUHQWJHQerations of music.

Their current line-up is obviously Mike Wise on lead vocals, Brandon Reece on guitar, Eric McNeil on drums, and I was happy to see Milhouse back on bass and on ETB’s stage! Talk about entertainment. These guys played one giant 3 hour set! The only times they stopped singing were to get more people on the stage to dance or entertain us with some crazy competition during a song. I took my friend Holly along and we both had an amazing time! Tubby’s was packed so I know I wasn’t the only one missing these guys. Mike pointed out that their very famous song “Dickâ€? is going to be 20 years old this year. It’s hard to believe it’s been around for more than half my life.. haha!

My last night out and about for the month was a quick stop out at Double K for Smokin Gunnz. I wasn’t feeling the best, but I wanted to get out there and see the guys. Plus it was Scott’s 50th Birthday Celebration. He is one of Double K’s usual doormen but he had the night off to celebrate. Unfortunately by the time I got there he was already home in bed! Happy Birthday old man! HA! Smokin Gunnz is one of Double K’s favorite bands. The place is always packed when the ‘Gunnz’ are around! Smokin Gunnz have quite a few interesting shows coming up this Summer. Check out their ad in this issue and plan your next Smokin’ night out on the town! Well that’s it for this month!

Greetings Rockers ‘N’ Rollers! April began with a new venue in downtown Harrisburg, JB Lovedraft’s, opened on April 1st hosting a punk rock show. The Lebowskis, The Give Take, Jagger Holly and Edgewood all played great sets to an extremely fun night of music. A promising and much needed music scene in Harrisburg, reminiscent of Small’s, possibly the best dive punk bar the city ever experienced. The following night, The Sharks reunited at Gullifty’s in New Cumberland. A packed house welcomed the 80’s local band, who gained great notoriety in 1986 winning MTV’s Basement Tape Competition. The contest won The Sharks a video entered into MTV rotation, an Elektra/Asylum recording contract and recording gear. The Gullifty’s show also included a reunion of Harrisburg’s Metron days. A great night of music and reliving memories with many familiar old faces. The highlight concert of this past month consisted of legendary artist, the Godfather of Punk, Iggy Pop. An unforgettable performance at Philadelphia’s Academy of Music, a beautiful venue primarily used for opera, which includes four levels of balconies. Iggy Pop is currently touring for his latest album, “Post Pop Depression�, and is rumored to be his last at the age of 69. The icon continues to perform incredibly with outrageous and unpredictable stage antics. The show started with “Lust For Life,� and continued with many Iggy Pop favorites “The Passenger� “China Girl� and the latest, “Gardenia.� NATIONAL NEWS: Pop superstar Prince, widely ac-

SANE ADVICE By John Kerecz
THE ART OF SWAG: GETTING PEOPLE TO SEE THE COOLNESS IN YOUR MUSIC Whether you call it swag, cool, hip, or happening, we want people to think great things about our music. We live in a time where doing that has become fast, and easy, through social media. Making people see the “swagâ€? in your music takes vision. Your vision needs to be clear. Who are you appealing to and how will \RXJHWWKHPWRVHH´WKHVZDJÂľLQ\RXUPXVLF"(DV\<RXĂ€UVWVWDUWE\ seeing it yourself. And once you do, communicating that to the world LVDOHQJWK\SURFHVVDQGRQHWKDWLQYROYHVDORWRIFRQĂ€GHQFHEXWDOVR has incredible rewards. So again, the way you market your music to the world, is how the world will see it. What does your tone of voice say about your songs? Are you going for something funny, serious, reliable, quirky, or a bit of everything? Tone is critical during these early stages and has to be in line with the overall strategy and vision put forth for your style of music. So to sum up. Want the world to see the swagger in your music? Start by seeing it yourself and show the world your music accordingly. Be patient. Understand that the process takes time, but can be dramatic and powerful through social media. Enjoy the process. See the magic in what you offer and one day, the world will, too.

Whether we do a farewell tour or go into the studio and do another record, I’m just excited about it.â€?

The country icon died of pneumonia that he had been battling for months. He had kept up an ambitious touring schedule, but the pneumonia in both lungs had forced him to cancel several shows this year. Haggard recorded for more than 40 years, releasing dozens of albums and No. 1 hits. He served three years in San Quentin as inmate 845200 for burglarizing a cafe during a drunken spree.

We cut 11 blues in two days.� Keith Richards commented, “There’s one coming, I can’t say no more.

It took 61 sea freight containers and a 747 aircraft loaded with band gear, and a 350 man crew, to accomplish this historic event.

After being around the music business all my life and hearing and seeing nearly every possible combination out there I ran upon a band that breaks the mold in several different ways. The Barker Woof Band is a hard rock band with a Steampunk theme that plays concerts to raise money for animal shelters, designs and manufactures all the sound equipment used on the tour and gives all their music away for free on their website. Now how’s that for different? We sat down for an interview with Jeffrey A. Forsburg the writer of the music and the creator of this unique project called the Barker Woof Band.
-HÇ‘)RUVEXUJ PAMM: Why did you choose the name Barker Woof band? Jeff: Coming up with a band name now days is not an HDV\WDVNEXWIRUWKLVSURMHFW,ZDQWHGDQDPHWKDWUHĂ HFWed the purpose of the band. The name was originally just “Barker Woofâ€? but by adding “Bandâ€? the logo became an anagram BWB and just worked, plus considering what the band does, it just made sense to have it relate in some fashion and the name is different enough that it’s easy to remember. PAMM Tell us about your journey in music? Jeff: Now that I can blame on the Beatles, which to me is the greatest band of all times. I originally wanted to be a drummer but at the time there were too many of those and not enough guitarists so I went that direction and it just stuck. I did what most musician do and learned all the licks from a few of my favorite players and played in cover bands which was the typical way of getting your IHHWZHWDQGFDWFKLQJWKHIHYHU:KHQ,Ă€UVWVWDUWHGSOD\ing, blues dominated my world and a local bass player and also a great guitar player Shane Kelly turned me on to Johnny Winter and that was the direction I stayed with for years by trying to master the pentatonic scale. Eventually I started looking for something completely different and along came KISS. I wasn’t taken by the musicianship but I liked the simplicity of the music but the theatrical component is what I liked the most about it. No jeans and T-shirts like in the Blues world more like Broadway ZLWK D .DEXNL URFN WZLVW 1RW VXUSULVLQJO\ P\ Ă€UVW UHDO band was a KISS tribute called Harpoon with John Foote, George Warner and Gregg Fino. We did that for years and as a normal transition of most musicians we moved on to doing originals. I needed a change so I moved to California for a while but that wasn’t my kind of environment so I came back and toured with Free Fare a Christian music origination based in Fort Lauderdale, FL that toured the United States. It was a great experience but too much of 16
a controlling environment for me. When I was done with that I created a new band called Jeffrey Alan and Friends with Doug Lehman, Randy Bower, Tim Woods, and Jimmy Kunes. That eventually burned out and I opened a music store called concept music in Williamsport and played in a few more bands on the side like Stangerz with Jimmy Finn and Chris Myers, Chris Lanley. China with Mark Bastian, Mike Plevyak and Gary Speicher. Smyth with Shane Kelly and Mark Bastian and some studio work with Kirk Blakenship and Tim Breon. All great experiences and players but the music business was getting out of control along with the attitudes and I became really disillusioned with it altogether so I closed the store, sold every piece of music gear I owned even every one of my guitar and moved to North Carolina for 24-years before moving back to Pennsylvania. While down there I started a pro Audio Loudspeaker Company called Forsburg Industries, Inc. with G-Audio which is still going today but I didn’t own or touch a guitar for over 10-years. One day I walked into a music store, played a guitar for a few minutes, bought it and have been playing and writing ever since. Since I’ve moved back I played in a few projects, Jonah Whale with Mike Plevyak, Bill and Sally Davenport and Mike Wojciehowsky but my real desire was to create a band like this and do my own music to raise money for the animal shelters at the same time and that how the Barker Woof Band came about. All roads lead to BWB. There were more bands and people in my history but I just can’t remember them all names right now. PAMM: Tell us about the music? Jeff: With all the genres out there and the lines getting blurred between the styles I would say Barker Woof Band is straight forward hard to progressive rock with a little bit of strings and a ballad thrown in to round it out. I write in every genre but the Barker Woof Band project leans in one direction for these shows. At one time I managed the Williamsport Area Symphony Orchestra, that’s what it was originally called when I was there and I’ve always enjoyed the power of the strings in rock music. The band Kansas was the real pioneers in that area which gave me inspiration to do my own thing with strings. The one thing that is different about my music is I allow free downloads on barkerwoofband.com. I decided that with the music distribution changing and more and more peoSOHGRZQORDGLQJWXQHVRUÀQGLQJZD\VDURXQGSD\LQJIRU DQDUWLVWFUHDWLYHZRUNV,ÀJXUHG,QHHGHGWRDGDSWWRWKH changing environment.

All the music is written and copyrighted by me so it can’t be used for commercial uses without permission or compensation, but it’s out there to freely listen to and share with friends.
days are in multiple bands at the same time which give them more options since the average band have a short life span. The guys I have in this lineup are simply amazing musicians and I’m blessed to have found them, especially since they are all in other projects and very busy already. Obviously I’m on guitar, Anthony Cross on vocals with powerful pipes. He’s currently with Seven Witches, an original metal band with two CD’s and they kick butt. You should really check them out.

PAMM: What’s the current lineup for the Barker Woof Band? Jeff: Finding local talented musicians with the same, mindset, availability and professionalism is near impossible but that’s nothing new. After limited success I came up with looking outside the area and in other bands. Some of the most talented people are already in other projects and I decided to hire them for the BWB shows rather than taking them from their current project.

you look at the way most people in the audience dress today, they look more rocked out than the band. Back in the day the band had everything custom made or design but now everything is available on line so the band compete with the audience now. When I go to a show I want to see something different and be entertained visually so that’s why the Steampunk theme came about. Leather has been so overdone and way too hot under all those lights and its more associates with metal anyways. I’m hoping that after a while the audience will start showing up in Steampunk as well. Now that would be a great concert and than I wouldn’t the fans looking like the band.

The group’s core members, singer/guitarist/ keyboardist Derek Mrdjenovich and drummer Aaron Porta, along with their former Big Time brethren Brandon Porta on guitar and John Rickabaugh on bass, went all-out to make their on stage debut as Walkney an unforgettable one. Partnering with the Sheetz Fellows program of Penn State Altoona and Altoona Community Theatre ZKRPSURFHHGVIURPWKHVKRZEHQHĂ€WHG Walkney delivered a gala set complete with choreographed dancers, a string section, guest scholastic musicians, sign language interpreters, large-scale production and large-screen music video footage accompaniments behind them for each song they performed. Walkney unveiled new songs such DVWKHLUĂ€UVWVLQJOH “I Always Wanted You,â€? “Northâ€? and “Airplane,â€? and tapped into their Big Time catalog for numbers such as “Transparent,â€? “Sandcastlesâ€? and the ballad “Stay Strong,â€? which Derek performed as a duet with guest singer Felicia Devorris. Local rap artist Matt Cifolelli also paired with Derek during another number. The opening acts before Walkney were strong, too. Winning their opening slot via an online contest, State College’s Making State set the night’s tone with a solid set that showcased their brand of rock, blending elements of modern pop, punk and 1980s-styled hard rock. Singer Nick Myers, guitarists Nathan Young and Sam Magliaro, bassist Zach Humphreys and drummer Jaymeson Rowles got the large audience cheering with numbers off their soon-to-be-released EP ‘Waiting for Signals’ such as “Bathroom Floor,â€? “The Waves,â€? “All I Needâ€? and “Lukewarm,â€? as well as a cover of Fall Out Boy’s “Sugar We’re Goin’ Down.â€? Altoona’s Post Season then followed with their charged set of high-velocity power pop/ punk originals.

Hats off to Walkney and all involved for seizing the moment and pulling all stops to make this show not just a concert, but an ambitious major-caliber happening the scale of which I have not seen a local band attempt for a long time, if ever!

They also did newer material, such as their update of The Smithereens’ “Blood and Rosesâ€? from last year’s CD of remakes, ‘Rewind’; along with more recent songs from their catalog such as “Nothing Good Happens After Midnight,â€? “Map of the Starsâ€? and “Trampoline.â€? Introduced as their “apprentice,â€? Dave’s son, Noah Minarik, joined the group and played guitar on several numbers. After the sold-out Mishler audience demanded an encore, The Clarks returned to the stage, with Scott recalling the group’s early struggles to earn a nightclub crowd in Altoona with the words, “This is a far cry from the G-Man.â€? The group then proceeded with WKH Ă€QDOH ZKLFK LQFOXGHG WKH FRXQWU\WRQHG “Irene,â€? their ballad favorite “Penny on the Floor,â€? and with Scott lighting one up, the ever-popular “Cigaretteâ€? to end the night.

The ukulele took the spotlight during last month’s third annual Allegheny Ukulele Soiree, which took place at Laurel Lodge retreat near Altoona. The three-day event featured a variety of skill workshops, open mic and jam VHVVLRQV D YHQGRU URRP XNXOHOH Ă€OP VFUHHQLQJV DQG nightly concerts featuring several renowned ukulele performers. I attended the Saturday portion of the Soiree, and took in workshops presented by Rachel Manke, Jeff Bell and Gerald Ross. The Saturday night concert featured performances from Skye Zentz, Gerald Ross and Paul Hemmings. Each performer demonstrated a distinctive style and slant to their ukulele world. Based in Norfolk, VA, Skye Zentz is a ukulele-based singer and songwriter whose style is rooted in classic folk and soul music. She shared several of her song creations to open the night, mixing numbers like “Trouble’s Gonna Go,â€? “Merrier Me,â€? “Be the Moon,â€? “Voting Is Funâ€? and “The Tideâ€? with a pleasant presentation and sense of humor. Skye also performed an Ella Fitzgerald hit, “Goody Goody.â€?

Among his songs were original instrumentals such as “Ukulele Soundsâ€? and “Lydia,â€? and the Patti Page hit “Allegheny Moon.â€? Gerald also welcomed guest Rachel Manke to play uke while he switched to steel guitar for a rendition of Sam Koki’s “Aloha Tears.â€? And New York’s Paul Hemmings – accompanied by Gaku Takanashi on ukulele bass – ended the night with an incredible display of ukulele jazz.

Philadelphia-based Led Zeppelin tribute Get The Led Out brought the Led to the State Theatre in State College last month before a sold out house! While some Led Zeppelin tributes emphasize the visual aspects of the Led Zeppelin show, Get The Led Out focuses on recreating the authentic sound of Led Zeppelin; using three guitar players – Paul Hammond, Jimmy Marchiano and Andrew Lipke (who also plays keys) – to replicate the sounds of Led Zeppelin’s recordings, with the additional guitarists providing the layering and ‘overdubs.’ Paul Sinclair sings lead vocals, Adam Ferraioli plays drums Phil D’Agostino plays bass. It all sounded very authentic; during their two sets, Get The Led Out did the familiar radio staples like “Immigrant Song,â€? “Good Times Bad Times,â€? “The Ocean,â€? “Ramble On,â€? “Nobody’s Fault But Mine,â€? “Going to California,â€? “Thank Youâ€? and “Kashmir.â€? They also broke out deeper Zeppelin cuts like “Lemon Song,â€? “No Quarter,â€? “Battle of Evermoreâ€? (with guest vocalist Diana DeSantis), “Tangerine,â€? “In My Time of Dying,â€? “The Roverâ€? and more. And Adam brought the full John Bonham-like drum thunder on “Moby Dick.â€? When the State Theatre audience demanded the encore, Get The Led Out responded with “Over the Hills and Far Away,â€? “Stairway to Heavenâ€? and “Whole Lotta Love,â€? complete with theramin. It amounted to a whole lotta good Led Zeppelin music; for an authentic Led Zeppelin sound, watch for Get The Led Out. Nate Myers & the Aces returned to Johnstown last month to perform at Slammin’ Sams.

I caught two-thirds of a punk-rocking triple-bill at McGarvey’s last month. I missed openers Railroad City Murder Machines, but did arrive in time to see Xs for Eyes and their high-velocity brand of loud, proud punk rock.

Inside Out featured a lot of their original tunes this night, introducing several new ones and playing a number of songs off their “Unbreakableâ€? CD. Singer/guitarist Tim Frick, bassist/singer Larz Phillip, guitarist Kolt Green and Jim on drums did hard-rocking songs from the CD such as “Taking My Life,â€? “Giving Myself Away,â€? “Inside of Meâ€?

Inside Out will be among the bands taking part in the Original Sin 2016 original hard rock/metal showcase at Slammin’ Sams in Johnstown on May 7.

Prince Showed Us How To Shape A Legacy Sometimes we forget that even celebrities who seem immortal have fragile human lives. By Simon Netznik in 500 Words On on Apr 26, 2016 Here they come—a newfound wave of fans who grave the loss of another rock legend, the artist who will forever be known as Prince. Soon, we can expect to see retail shelves packed with merchandise and memorabilia for the artist, whose management team certainly anticipates a quick buck from the bandwagon. Meanwhile, the shocking news of Prince’s death came as a surprise to many people around the world. Sometimes, we forget that even celebrities who seem immortal have fragile human lives. One moment we can buy their tickets and hear their news, then all of a sudden, their lives transform into legend and legacy. Today’s streaming technology allows the work of Prince and other artists to be preserved for as long as the Internet shall exist.

ANDY MOWATT – AN END TO THE MEANS (no label) From Lancaster, Andy Mowatt has honed his guitar talents for the past decade, joining Harrisburg jam-based rockers Herbie in 2006, playing in production shows at Lancaster’s American Music Theatre, and recently forming a Steely Dan-inspired ensemble called Andy Mowatt’s Steely Jam. Jazz and fusion strongly inform Mowatt’s latest all-instrumental album, An End To The Means. Through the album’s ten tracks, Mowatt demonstrates guitar mastery and arranging versatility as he and his FDVWRIVLGHPHQH[SORUHDFRORUIXODUUD\RIMD]]URRWHGĂ DYRUV Among those sidemen are Mowatt’s Herbie and Steely Jam associate Aaron Trasatt on keys, as well as Steely Jam bandmates Gabe Staznik on drums and Mike Wittrien on bass, plus pianist Andy Roberts, bassist Andy Alonso and several horn players. Eight of the compositions are original, and each conveys a different mood and atmosphere. With drums and horns setting the initial vibe, the disc-opener “Shoeless Grooveâ€? is a jumpy, fun romp where Mowatt, saxophonist Dave Yinger and Roberts seize the moment and ride the melody with dazzling solo work. “Highlandsâ€? sets a quieter but equally colorful jazzy groove, while Trasatt’s Rhodes keyboard powers and underscores the driving fusion rocker “Gloria.â€? Mowatt and mates merge Dixieland and European IRONĂ DYRUVRQ´*\SV\ODQGÂľH[SORUHWURSLFDO%UD]LOLDQVDPEDWRQHVRQ´6RQJRÂľDQGIXVHMD]] with slow blues on the disc-closer “Omniblues.â€? Mowatt and friends improvise on two instrumental remakes; a jazz-funk reboot of Beyonce’s hit “Love On Top,â€? and a playful and tasty update of Steely Dan’s “Bodhisattva.â€? Mostly recorded live with some overdubs, the performances on An End To The Means are dazzling, as Mowatt shares the spotlight with his hired guns and allows their talents to shine as well. The musicianship is consistently stellar, and Mowatt’s bright arrangements keep things sounding fresh from start to end. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Washkevich at MDW Productions in Harrisburg, this disc sounds clean, full and polished. An End To The Means provides an uplifting listen, as Andy Mowatt and his cast of players give their chops a workout and have a blast doing so. (The CD can be obtained through Mowatt’s website, www. andymowatt.com.) SHERRI MULLEN – SHADOWS (no label) Through her discography and career to date, Middletown-based singer/songwriter Sherri Mullen has established herself as an acoustic artist and rock performer. But on her latest CD, Shadows, she spotlights her piano skills and strips down her sound to voice and keys over the disc’s ten tracks. And while Mullen’s previous song output leaned WRZDUGXSWHPSRDQGXSEHDWFUHDWLRQV6KDGRZVĂ€QGVKHUH[SORULQJGDUNHUDQGPRUHLQWURVSHFWLYH terrain. Her prevailing theme is struggle and encountering perVRQDODGYHUVLW\DQGĂ€QGLQJWKHIDLWKDQGVWUHQJWKWRUHERXQGDQG move forward. Using a dramatic arrangement, Mullen immediately bares her soul for the world to hear on the stern disc-opener “No Apology.â€? The melancholy title track “Shadowsâ€? plunges into the abyss of despair over what used to be, while the somber “Sad Clownâ€? reveals that a happy outer persona can hide a suffering inner persona. With a theatrical style slightly reminiscent RI4XHHQ¡VRSHUDWLFWRQHV´6WUHHWVRI6WUDQJHÂľUHĂ HFWVRQKDSpier and more blissful times. On a more hopeful front, the piano waltz “Unconditionalâ€? professes devotion out of loneliness, “It’s Okayâ€? shares an internal pep talk to pick up the pieces and move forward, before “Begin Againâ€? gathers the determination to put the shadowy past behind, and the disc-closer “Exposedâ€? resolves to not surrender to blind despair again. Mullen excels with her song material here; her expressive voice, intensity and powerful vocal range sell the sincerity of her words, while her strong piano mastery provides the stalwart foundation beneath it all. Self-produced and recorded, Shadows sounds clear and prominent, with Mullen’s performances bold and in your face. With her solemn, stripped-down approach, Sherri Mullen faces off against emotional darkness and ultimately triumphs on Shadows, sharing the message that healing and hope begin from within the soul. (The CD can be obtained through Sherri Mullen’s website, www.sherrimullen.com.) HABATAT – HABATAT (no label) Habatat’s story began in 2012, when singer/guitarist Ryan Woods and bassist/percussionist Kris Lupher began to collaborate on songs and forge their musical foundation. The western PA-based group evolved into a quartet with the additions of drummer Justin Banks and rhythm/ lead guitarist Cory Mickinak. Habatat’s self-titled debut album introduces listeners to familiar-sounding musical terrain, featuring an emphasis on blues and funk-rooted jam rock. Through the disc’s 13 tracks, Habatat lays down a variety of catchy and intriguing grooves; often crafting experimental song arrangements that ebb and wane, strut and shift gears. The musicianship and performances are strong throughout the album, as Habatat has fun working the nuances and riffs of their groove fest. The guitars and bass pulse and probe, and Banks’ knack for gear-shifting drum rhythms helps each song smoothly move forward. As frontman, Woods belts with a prominent soulful and gritty growl that gives the overall presentation added edge. Classic blues-rock informs the disc-opener “Avenue Bluesâ€? and “Fallacy,â€? while Habatat engages funkier terrain with “Dank Hoss,â€? “Show You Everything,â€? “To Be Announcedâ€? and the disc-closer “Trans-Atlantic Paper Airplane.â€? “Goldâ€? rides a slower funk-rock groove as Woods growls a warning of rough WLPHVDKHDGDQG´*RRGE\HÂľWDSVLQWRDPRUHVRXWKHUQURFNIXQNĂ DYRUUHPLQLVFHQWRIWKH%ODFN &URZHV DQG$OOPDQ %URWKHUV +DEDWDW JHQHUDWHV D Ă€HU\ IXQN JURRYH ZLWK WKH KLJKZD\WKHPHG “Roadwork,â€? and weave three distinctive grooves into a cohesive epic in “Three Prong Song.â€?
