Ned Collette: August 19, 2023 Deep In The Valley

The NycTaper coverage of the 2023 Deep In The Valley festival continues!  For today’s installment we have Ned Collette, the Australian born, Berlin based songwriter and producer that came to town to play a beautiful early afternoon set for us all.  

The set opened with “The Laughter Across The Street” from 2006’s “Jokes & Trials” immediately finds Ned, with Elisabeth Fuchsia on viola, occupying a space that feels unique in “folk” music. A strange and beautiful and dark space where the songs are a cross between Jim O’Rourke and Judee Sill. Listening to this now, with the leaves falling in the Hudson Valley, feels just right.

I had initially sent my mix of this recording to Ned who asked if he might take a crack at doing a touch more EQ.  Eventually, I ended up sending him my masters which he worked on in his studio and the result is the beautiful sounding mix we have here.  Using my MBHO mics positioned at stage lip for instrument presence and the excellent board feed courtesy of FOH engineer Daniele Stout for vocal clarity Ned gives us a mix far better than what I produced!  Enjoy!

Garcia Peoples: August 19, 2023 Deep In The Valley

Our coverage of the 2023 Deep In The Valley festival continues! 

Today we have site favorites Garcia Peoples set. Unfortunately, Danny (Guitar, Vocals) and Cesar (Drums) were unable to make it. Thankfully a friend of the band, Ryan Jewell, was on hand to play with Ryley Walker and was able to sit in. With this unique line-up, the band treated us to a single 30+ minute piece of improvisation. 

Launching into free improv isn’t something new for Garcia Peoples. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things about them. They are so comfortable with it that I often don’t know if it’s truly improv or a new song they are working on. It’s honestly embarrassing how many times I’ve had to go up to Tom or Andy after a set and ask if something they did was song I don’t know or just jam. Spoiler alert; it’s almost always a jam.

I recorded this with my MBHO cards at stage lip and very nice board feed from FOH engineer Daniel Stout. The quality is excellent!

Glyders: August 19, 2023 Deep In the Valley

Our coverage of the 2023 Deep In The Valley festival continues!

Glyders are a Chicago based band that plays Rock and Roll. No adjectives, no modifiers, no bullshit. I was familiar with them from the Raven Sings The Blues review of their recent Drag City release, Maria’s Hunt but never had the chance to catch them live. I’m extremely grateful that they made the trek East for this event because they blew me away and I haven’t stopped listening to them since.

Their record runs seamlessly through a variety of musical styles from country to VU style psych. The live show was different. It was a focused ass kicking. A monstrous sounding power trio with a fire breathing telecaster and a rhythm section that sounds like it just smashed its beer bottle on the bar before a fight. This set, dosed in the early afternoon sunlight, was a serious highlight of an incredible afternoon of music. Readers of this site will be familiar with most of the artists from the festival so I’m truly happy to introduce you to something new.

I recorded this with my MBHO cards at stage lip and very nice board feed from FOH engineer Daniel Stout. Enjoy it LOUD!

Ryley Walker: August 19, 2023 Deep in the Valley

Welcome to our coverage of Deep in the Valley 2023! The second year of our favorite Hudson Valley fest was again held at beautiful From the Ground Brewery in Red Hook, NY and hosted by our friends at Raven Sings the Blues. Thanks to everyone involved for their hospitality. I can’t wait to see you there next year. In the meantime, relax and enjoy some tunes from the day…

First off here’s the day’s headliner Ryley Walker, playing in duo configuration with Ryan Jewell. While not quite full-band, seeing Ryley and Ryan together is always magical and this performance doesn’t disappoint in the least. Ryley-classics “The Halfwit in Me” and “The Roundabout” take center stage here with the jams and detours we love from these songs. I’m a massive fan of Course in Fable and consider it Ryley’s finest, so I was glad to hear “Rang Dizzy” from that one. The last song is an instrumental which I’m sure has a title that is escaping me. Listening back I almost feel like I’m in a field in Red Hook, New York with some apple trees off to the side. This one’s the highlight of a nearly perfect day.

I recorded this with the MBHO omnis at the stage lip, combined with a board feed courtesy of engineer Daniel Stout. The sound quality is outstanding. Enjoy!

Rose City Band: July 23, 2023 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)

July 27, 2023
By

I’ve been waiting for years to see a Rose City Band show. For 18 of those months, we were all waiting to see anything but even once shows started happening the band didn’t come East. When they finally had East Coast dates booked the tour was, sadly, cancelled due to covid. This past Sunday it finally happened. Rose City Band played their first show EVER in NY at Tubby’s and we have the recording. 

Rose City Band is Ripley Johnson’s (Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo) outlet for fusing the musical loves of his youth; Neil Young, Grateful Dead and Van Morrison are noticeable touch points, with the classic country sounds of Merle Haggard, Buck Owens and the like. During interviews Ripley has often referred to this as summertime music and that’s always the association I’ve had with it. I have vivid memories of sitting on my deck in late spring and early summer of 2020 with nothing to do but enjoy the sunshiny reverb and pedal steel from the first two Rose City Band albums. Nowhere to go, no one to see. Nothing to do but enjoy the turn of the season and the tunes. That experience hasn’t changed much. It’s always as the sun starts coming out in the Hudson Valley that I turn to these albums. 

During the recording process Ripley has historically handled the heavy lifting alone but live he is supported by an excellent band of Portland heavy hitters. They opened the show with a breezy take on “Empty Bottles” from 2020’s Summerlong eventually making their way to a fantastic medley of Mariposa> Me and Willie > Reno Shuffle that truly embraced the choogle-charged, sun baked flow of Cosmic Americana. The sold-out crowd was loud and appreciative all night. New Yorkers aren’t well known for their friendliness but hopefully the band felt the love we gave them for their first trip to the state. 

Rose City Band has two more shows left on this leg of the tour before a short break. They will be back at it in early September for another run of East Coast shows with support from Rosali. These will be must see shows if you are in the area; Rosali with the David Nance band backing her was the best set of music I saw all last year. Rose City Band then swings back west in October before heading to Europe in November. Plenty of chances to get out and see them! 

I recorded this from my usual spot in the back of the room by the soundboard with my MBHO’s. Tubby’s FOH engineer Kyle provided the excellent mix and board feed. Enjoy!

Garcia Peoples: June 24, 2023 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)

July 17, 2023
By

The Nyctaper team’s support of site favorites Garcia Peoples continues! This show was a bit of a one off at their home away from home, Tubby’s.

The set opened with “Break Me Down” which I hadn’t seen them play since the now legendary “Natural Facts” release show in 2019. They worked through several of the Natural Facts tunes and two really spectacular pieces of improv very much worth your time.

Garcia Peoples has a bunch of excellent shows lived up for next month. They will be part of the absolutely LOADED line up at Raven Sings The Blue’s Deep in The Valley festival. Additionally they are playing several dates with William Tyler which may prove to be the tour of the summer. I’ll be at the Tubby’s date for sure. Hope to see you there!

Zachary Cale: May 16, 2023 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)

June 14, 2023

It’s been a while since Zachary Cale was last featured on this site but a glance at his band camp page shows he hasn’t been silent. In addition to the treasure trove of already available music he has new material in the works, and we were treated to a bunch of it during this performance.

While this is the last set to be posted from the Island House night at Tubby’s, this was actually the opening set of the night. With Robert Boston on keys and J.R. Bohannon on pedal steel Cale eased the audience into 5 straight new tunes. This is easy listening in the best sense of the phrase. On three separate occasions I sat down at my desk to mix this and then found myself, several minutes later, slowly drifting back to reality. I wasn’t “processing” anything; I was just enjoying the experience of hearing new music and allowing it to transport me to dreamland. The trio also treated us to a beautiful version of Neil Young’s “Motion Pictures”; a song perfectly tailored to Cale’s relaxed and comfortably honest vocal delivery. The set closed with “Dear Shadow”, the loan old song of the night, from 2013’s “Blue Rider”. 

These unreleased songs will be released on a forthcoming instrumental based record Cale has in the works. I’m very excited to see how this flesh out. Additionally, he has several shows in the coming days including a July 2 bill with the excellent Stella Kola at Mama Tried in Brooklyn which is a must see if you’re in the area.  

I recorded this from my usual spot by the soundboard with the MBHO’s and a board feed from Tubby’s FOH engineer Kyle. Enjoy!

Purling Hiss: April 23, 2023 Union Pool

June 11, 2023
By

Purling Hiss hit the road for the first time in a while to support their new record on Drag City, Drag On Girard. Last time I saw the ‘Hiss it was a solo Mike Polizze show opening for Dungen. I can’t even remember when that was but oh it’s great to be back. Long before I began contributing here at NYCTaper I followed along with all the excellent recordings especially from the Water on Mars-era. While I would have loved to hear the title track from that one, we got a solid setlist from them closing out their second night at Union Pool, including oldies “Almost Washed My Hair” and “Run From the City.” If you missed Purling Hiss at Union Pool, they’re playing a free show at Rippers on August 25th. Do it!

I recorded this from our usual spot at Union Pool with a feed from the engineer, Jase, who was responsible for the excellent sound all night. And thanks to all the folks for making it one of our favorite venues!

Emergency Group: May 16, 2023 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)

May 31, 2023
By

Emergency Group plays jazz. But they also don’t play jazz at all. There are obvious reference points to 70s electric jazz but it’s boring to stop there; let’s add some progressive rock, some free improv and a sprinkling of post rock. The Brooklyn-based quartet brought all those influences and laid them bare on the stage at Tubby’s to close out an excellent evening of music courtesy of Island House Recordings. 

It took all of 90 seconds for the band to find a perch to launch from as drummer Andreas Brade sends the band pummeling forward. This began a 2-song 40+ minute ride so hot guitarist Jonathan Byerley was forced to play in a tank top and then apology to the crowd for “doing kind of a Bob Weir thing”. Electric piano leads and crunchy riffs buoyed by hypnotic bass lines and drumming equally prepared for fusion or hard rock; National Health or Spooky Tooth. Pick your poison. For the encore the band invited Seawind of Battery to join in. The already expansive playing took an atmospheric turn with the addition of Mike Horn’s looped guitar and Jarrod Annis’s lap steel. 

Emergency Group has a show on July 23 with Tacoma Park at Mama Tried. Additionally, they are heading into the studio in July for new music produced by Chris Schlarb! All money spent on their Bandcamp is going directly towards that recording budget so, I implore you, dig deep. A Schlarb/Emergency Group collab is a truly exciting proposal. 

I recorded this from my usual spot by the soundboard with the MBHO’s and a board feed from Tubby’s FOH engineer Kyle. Enjoy!

Damon & Naomi: May 9, 2023 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)

Followers of this site of a certain age (e.g., too old to be seeing rock shows in the middle of the week) will almost certainly have some association with Damon & Naomi’s work. Maybe you have a fond memory from the early 90s of the sun shining, your vision blurred just enough around the edges to let the light and new ideas in and, somewhere in the background, “Strange” is playing from a mixtape. Or maybe that completely hypothetical and totally not autobiographical scenario doesn’t apply, and you just appreciate incredible songwriting with harmonies that can only come from a lifetime of playing music with someone. Either way, we’ve got you covered. 

Tubby’s is a small room and acoustic sets full of ballads can be complicated. On this Wednesday night, the crowd was completely engaged in the moment. We stood enthralled as they worked through songs from their most recent album, 2021’s, “A Sky Record” and beyond. Things got really interesting when they invited their co-headliners, Meg Baird and Charlie Saufley, to join them.  

When Damon casually stated, “Tonight, you’re seeing two duos and two quartets. This is the first appearance of the first quartet,” the room knew special things were about to happen. With Meg on drums and Charlie on guitar they eased into the ghostly and beautiful “Seasons Without Time” and eventually brought the set to fiery close with the Galaxie 500 classic “Another Day.” 

I recorded this from my usual spot by the soundboard with MBHO’s and board feed from Tubby’s FOH engineer Will. Enjoy!
