I sit down with Tony Campanella.

Notes:

An old Stella Harmony acoustic guitar and an old record Guitar Boogie inspired the young eleven year old Tony Campanella to start playing guitar. His uncles continued to feed him a steady diet of Albert Collins, Albert and Freddie King, Son Seals, Jimi Hendrix, Rory Gallagher, Jeff Beck, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Jamming with local musicians whenever he could paid off with his first club gig at age twenty. In the early 90's, Tony performed in the LA West Blues Band with Tommy Bankhead and then later joined The Sliders in the mid to late 90's. He then branched off and started his own power trio The Tony Campanella Band. Best described as a heavy, rockin' blues band, The Tony Campanella Band has been working the St. Louis circuit for a lifetime. For twenty years, Tony Campanella has been a part of the well known Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute Show in St. Louis, MO. Talent and experience gained Tony the respect of fellow artists. Tony has had the honor of opening for Etta James, Robin Trower, Deep Purple, Bernard Allison, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Koko Taylor, and Shemekia Copeland. Tony Campanella was the perfect choice to be the first artist signed to the newly launched Gulf Coast Records.

I sit down with Tristan Welch

Notes:

Tristan Welch creates ambient music for the social consciousnesses.

In June of 2016 he released his debut titled Washington D.C. Released on cassette on side is titled D while the other is titled C. Each side is performed in it’s respective key (D and C). This tape is an experiment in composed minimalism for electric guitar while using various effects and looping technology.

January 2017 saw the release of a collaboration effort with established saxophonist Ron Oshima. Released on CD the recording is titled God Bless America. Each song like the previous effort is performed in key (this time in G, B and A) - slightly improvised but structured in nature - once again a challenge in minimalism while using Ron Oshima’s skills to create emotion. As a duo they never places an overt political statement on the record other than “we are not nationalists and we could use a little help”. The record was recorded on Election Day (2016) and released on Inauguration Day (2017).

Juanita Crabbe was an uncelebrated artist that lived in Washington D.C. but finished her career in New York City. This was also Tristan’s Grandmother. When she passed away in 2017 he helped clear out her apartment in New York City and uncovered her infamous painting “smoking liberty” as well as many of her pictures of the city itself. After spreading her ashes in a park of her SOHO neighborhood; while a jazz band started playing - he thought to himself that she would be “haunting N.Y.C.” In may of 2017 he released a book of her pictures, a remembrance card including a print of her “smoking liberty” painting along with a CD of untitled guitar musings.

Through the years Tristan Welch has been very active with live performance. Always wearing a suit (in a homage to Robert Fripp - or if you ask him - to give art the respect it deserves - or if you ask his friends it’s so he’s always ready for a funeral - a licensed embalmer by trade). He performs live looping soundscapes with his electric guitar, various effects including reverb and delay along with a collection of amplifiers depending how loud he feels like playing (once a veteran of avant-garde - harsh noise - experimental outfits of the Washington D.C. area).

40 Hours - the new LP by Tristan Welch is due out this coming winter (2018/2019) via Verses Records (a label collective out of Washington D.C.) In recent performances leading up to the release Tristan has been seen in his usual suit and tie - holding up protest signs, inspired by anarchist graffiti, displaying the messages of “Abolish Work” and “Fire Your Boss”. These themes correlate with the sound of his new record - while being more melodic in nature - it as raw as only somebody working overtime could produce. He hopes to spread a message that he believes we can only truly change what we have seen since the release of God Bless America by withholding our labor, uniting as a working class to stand up against oppression. This is the sound of the working class struggle.

The progression of Tristan’s music and habit of making statements come from his life experience. He spent years - addicted to heroin and other drugs - selling off guitars, records and whatever else he could to get another fix. Homeless in Washington D.C. - finding refuge in various jails and institutions only to use some more drugs. In 2010 he got clean and started the process of becoming a human being again. He found himself working at a local funeral home - vacuuming the floors, running flowers and removing body’s from homes in the middle of the night - one day a supervisor asked what his goals were and his response was “to make enough money to buy a guitar and maybe an amp”. He bought the guitar but struggled to find time to play it realizing how hard it was to pay rent or even eat in the Washington D.C. area. He eventually found himself in mortuary school to become a licensed funeral director and embalmer. Able to earn a living - able to maintain a lifestyle of recovery - he could once again create. These soundscapes come from a pain a drink can’t cover up. A sense of empathy only a hopeless junkie can feel. His experience tells him that our society, our government and our economy - kills. In order to save ourselves we need to Abolish Work and Fire Your Boss.

I sit down with Tim Brick

Notes:

   Singer, songwriter, guitarist, band leader and all around working man are just some of the words used to describe Tim Brick. Born the son of a hard living long distance trucker, Tim’s music reflects a soulful edge that isn’t afraid to get rowdy, while at the same time, is tempered by a surprising vulnerability.

  Standing on the stage since the early age of twelve, Tim is right at home entertaining audiences. His ability to engage the audience and draw them into his songs is what separates him from the average entertainer. His characteristic hard work ethic has led to four independent releases…. Borderline(2009), Free To Run(2011), Three of a kind EP(2013) & his latest effort, Just Passin’ Through(2017). Subsequently, his passion for music was rewarded when he was nominated for ICoMA(Independent Country Music Association) Best Country Male Artist in 2013 and again in 2014. His album Just Passin’ Through, was awarded the September 2017 Akademia Award and The 2017 Tammie Award for “Best Country Album”.

  Wanting to further his musical experience, he relocated to Austin, TX in January 2015. Proceeding to play clubs throughout central Texas, he introduced his brand of country to an entirely new audience. The exposure eventually led to the opportunity to open for country artist, Hal Ketchum at the 2015 Blanco River Flood Festival.

  Tim has since returned to the roots of his green mountain home to continue his musical journey. A journey that most recently included opening for Grammy Award winning artist, Dan Tyminski at The 2018 Vermont State Fair.

  Raw, real and genuine to the core, that’s what Tim and his music are all about. Qualities that never go out of style!
