CD release night.... The Rivals @ The Grape Room - Morning River Band @ MIlkboy - Philly

This is kinda last minute, but for those of you looking for fun tonight I wanted to make sure this was put out there..

TONIGHT AT the GRAPE ROOM

First, closest to my house @The Grape Room in Manayunk (Philadelphia) The Rivals play tonight showing off their new release Divine Lorraine. The Rivals were recently featured in the new #PhillyPresents: feature, by August John Lutz II of Levee Drivers.

"They have this amazing 70's blend of Soul, Blues and Rock all combined into one, that hits harder than Chris Brown's fist (yeah!!!)."
The Rivals should be taking the stage at 10pm.

TONIGHT AT MILKBOY

Tonight at Milkboy, Philadelphia band The Morning River Band give you a few days advance on their new release To Suzie. This electric folk country band is eager to bring their wares to the masses.

According to my source, Morning River Band goes on around 11 but go for the whole set; John Train goes first, with Miners second. "The Miners are working man's alt-country, like a down-to-earth Son Volt."

The new album will be released on May 21, 2013—digitally via Bandcamp, iTunes, and CDBaby, but also on limited-edition colored vinyl!!!!

Premier Single : Birds Over Arkansas "Forgotten Lights"

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...

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"

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...
