Yesterday our band Whitewolfsonicprincess recorded a podcast performance @ Chicago Acoustic Underground, hosted by Michael Teach. Lead time on a podcast release is about 6 weeks, so it will be awhile before our episode is added to the site. But it's definitely worth visiting the site. All kinds of great shows to check out!
What a cool idea and experience. Michael Teach is an amazing entrepreneur and musical obsessive. He has so far recorded over 300 performers in his living room in a classic old building on Armitage in Chicago. What a great place, a very comfy and welcoming room to make music. There's a full drum kit, amps for guitars, a great collection of microphones and a full soundboard and computer system ready to capture lightening in a bottle.
And Michael is a wonderful host, kind, and attentive, with a wealth of experience working with musicians. He's the kind of guy you want to know. Someone who really listens. Did he actually say our band reminded him of Procal Harum and The Band?! Pretty cool!
We did a "stripped down" set of originals - bass, acoustic guitar, drums and vocals. We were arrayed in a circle so we could all see each-other and totally connect. It made for an amiable but intense session. We were pretty pleased afterward. Add podcast to our resume!
