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!

Joseph Allred: August 20, 2022 Deep in the Valley

September 20, 2022

Welcome to our coverage of the 2022 Deep in the Valley festival and special deep valley thanks to Raven Sings the Blues and From the Ground Brewery for hosting!

Of all the musicians at Deep in the Valley, it was perhaps Joseph Allred who was most appropriate for the farm and creek-side setting. Allred has been releasing a steady stream of records for about 10 years now and the only constant between them is how consistently excellent and varied they are. From fingerpicked guitar to Lute Music and just about everything in between, his catalog is a multitude of pastoral excursions with varying instrumentation and voice. Allred first came to my attention with 2019’s Branches and Leaves which was released on the always-reliable Feeding Tube Records. Lo and behold, the first song from his Deep in the Valley set was the title track from that album, which like “Scoudrel,” played later in his set, is composed of harmonium and vocals. “Dance of the Fairfolk” and “March of the True Bugs” (great song title!) are both off the The Rambles & Rags of Shiloh, an album which thematically links Biblical and Southern geographies through guitar and banjo instrumentals. And “Lilly Valley Suite” is a medley of a few newer instrumentals. If any one of our recordings from Deep in the Valley can best give you a feel for the day, let this one take you to the country.
