Dawes - WXPN Free at Noon March 22, 2013 Concert Review

By
XPN & Dawes continue to share memorable shows.  From the XPN 20th anniversary concert, to the 2012 XPoNential Festival, each event gets better and better for both entities.  Friday's Free At Noon,  which was 10000% at capacity was the fittingly the first live webcast for WXPN!

Playing in support of their Stories Don't End album, which is due to be released April 9th, 2013, they played 7 of the 12 songs, including the already hit 'From A Window Seat'.  The songs and band were very fresh. It was one of the few times these songs had been heard, only after a bunch of SXSW events and a few in-store sessions in Dallas, Nashville, and Baltimore.

The new songs are impressive, as 'Someone Will', 'Hey Lover' and 'From A Window Seat' will fit right in with their other hits.  The guitar solos continue, picking up where the 70's left off.  I'd sit and describe more of the set, but you can listen to it yourself here @http://www.xpn.org/player/!

One question for all the Dawes fans... why is 'A Little Bit of Everything' so much better live?????

By the way, tickets are now on sale for the upcoming tour.. dates with Dylan and dates with Shovels & Rope!

Premier Single : Birds Over Arkansas "Forgotten Lights"

By
Philly/CT band  Birds Over Arkansas ' is currently recording their full length release as a follow up to their 2014  Behind The Lights  EP.  Root Down In The Shadow is proud to debut the first single from this release, "Forgotten Lights." "Forgotten Lights" was first teased in an exclusive release for a RDITS house show in March featuring BOA , Kevin Killen , Chelsea Mitchell , and Max García Conover . Finally ready for the masses, "Forgotten Lights" is helplessly watching a loved one slip away into dementia. The song starts as a mellow Americana groove, and the split at the outro introduces the progressive rock elements to bring in the lyric "the flame blew out again." This was the pivotal point in the lyrics, signifying the change from someone who was slowly losing their faculties who has now seemingly become a different person. The switch from the easy, mellow groove to the frenetic time signature embodies this. Scott Haskitt - ...

Root Down Is A Sometime Thing...

By
From the desk of Root Down: Greetings Friends!  It's been a bit, how've ya been? What's new? I've been gone for some time and I feel that I owe everyone an explanation of where I've been.   Honestly, I haven't gone anywhere. Since I've last posted, I've still been frequenting my favorite record store, been hitting up local shows, hosted a few house shows, traveling for special shows, and making music a large part of my life.  What I haven't been doing is losing countless hours fretting over knowing every new artist, tweeting, and losing sleep editing articles that spend less time getting read than I spent writing.  I can definitively tell you that I'm DONE attempting to make Root Down In The Shadow "a thing" in the music world.   I don't need Twitter followers, a lively blog, or anyone else's validation to share my love for music. It doesn't help my enjoyment of music to follow a shit-ton of bands on eve...

New Release Q&A - Sonja Sofya answers some questions for "Patterns We Know"

By
The buzz has been all about Sonja Sofya and her new album The Patterns We Know .  Tonight Sonja Sofya and band take to the stage at Boot & Saddle in South Philly along with a great line-up featuring Arc Divers and the dove and the wolf. Right off the top we have some great reasons to expect great things from this album, such as produced by Ross Bellenoit at Turtle Studios and excellent musicianship by guitarist/producer Ross Bellenoit, bassist Jonathan Colman , and drummers Matt Scarano and Jonas Oesterle . But we at Root Down In The Shadow wanted to dig further and see what Sonja had to say about the album. Here's 3 questions we had for the songstress Sonja Sofya: RDITS: What was the impetus to make a full length record and why did you pick the people you worked with? At a certain point, playing and writing as much as I was, it felt like the logical next step, but I waited for a while, trying to find the "perfect" time to go into the stud...
