Connecticut based quartet Eggy recently released their sophomore record Waiting Game. As you’ll soon hear the process for this album was different than records and EPs of the past. The band who recruited White Denim guitarist James Petralli to produce the record purposefully wrote fresh material for the album that they didn’t play live until more recently. They also decided to let drummer Alex Bailey handle all the lead vocals on the record. What emerged from the sessions and ultimately became Waiting Game is a fresh record filled with poppy hooks, impressive production and yes the harmonies and musicianship we’ve come to expect from Eggy. I recently had the chance to catch up with Alex Bailey and Dani Battat to talk about the process of making Waiting Game, the songs themselves and as per usual much more. 

First song: Laurel

Second song: A Moment's Notice

While Jerry Garcia collaborated with dozens of artists beyond fronting the Grateful Dead and The Jerry Garcia Band, few are as recognizable in name as David “Dawg” Grisman. As you’ll soon hear, their relationship was initially happenstance but as time wore on, it was inevitable that these two geniuses would meet and collaborate in both live and studio settings. David Grisman, roots music guru, multi-instrumentalist who is probably most famous for his masterful mandolin playing has released a series of “bare bone” acoustic Garcia and Grisman recordings dubbed Bare Bones. Two of these volumes have already released, the first on Jerry Garcia’s 82nd birthday just a few weeks back. A third will be released August 30th by Acoustic Disc.

First song: Dreadful Wind and Rain 

Second song: End of the World
