During a tour stop in Columbus, Ohio Samantha Crain and her band the Midnight Shivers were kind enough to spend the afternoon sipping coffee and tracking three songs from their debut full length “Songs Of The Night.”

Legendary Seattle punks The Supersuckers are, in the parlance of our modern genre specific times, a “cowpunk” band. At the end of the day, regardless of how loud they play and drunk they are, The Supersuckers are all about the song. When front man Eddie Spaghetti joined us for a Relay Session he showed us their music is just as influenced by Johnny Cash and Hank Williams Senior as it ever was by The Ramones.

When Hopewell joined us for a Memorial Day weekend session at 1035 Studios in Columbus, Ohio we were glad they brought every last box and cable in from the van. After a few minutes of plugging in, fiddling, and fidgeting the band unfurled a spine tingling swath of gorgeous noise.

Windy City native John Hugo Unger thinks of himself first as a piano player, not unlike the character in Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” I imagine. In fact Unger has lived in Europe for stretches of time thanks to the instrument…. finding employment playing covers in piano bars.

Naming his band after his middle name Hugo, the band live in the world of Joel and Ben Folds style intelligent and timeless pop.

We’ve met a lot of artists in our travels, but none quite like the talented Levi Weaver. Weaver was after high school actually studying to become a baseball announcer of all things before drifting into music. His love for the game remains, but his true calling should be readily obvious with our Levi Weaver Relay Session.
