Hen House Studios Interviews Peach

November 24, 2010

Hen House Studios Podcast with Blues Artist Peach

Peach has a grittiness, a raw energy and sheer lust for experience rarely seen in modern blues. Their sound reaches back to Big Mama Thornton and Janis with stunning vocals and rich brass, but with a 21st-century sensibility and velvety undertones that will blow you out of the water. Peach makes good use of the slide guitar, the B-3, the organ, and much more to give it’s audience a full dose of the blue experience.

Peach is lead by Peach, the band’s singer songwriter and plays guitar. She has tons of experience, playing and touring for years on end. Her right-hand man is Paulie Cerra, who is Peach’s music director and plays the sax as well. Peach and Paulie are accompanied by Maria Martinez on drums and percussion, Hardy Eason on B-3 and piano, Lynn Keller on bass, Joey Delgado on guitars, Lee Thornburg on trumpet and Gina Segall, Peach’s very young daughter, a musical prodigy who plays kickass blues percussion like she just returned from a midnight deal at the crossroads.

Hen House Studios Podcast with Aya Peard

-Aya Peard’s latest project was a reunion of sorts for this group of very talented musicians. Singer/songwriter Aya Peard assembled Phremyl, even though the group hadn’t played together in over five years. Aya’s music is finding a wider and wider audience (including Nickelodeon’s South of Nowhere), yet it retains it’s intimate connection with the audience. Aya spreads her warm energy and mystical sounds to all those listening. Her songs are heart-felt, drawing from experiences of love and pain. The dreamy mood of her music will send you floating off to distant lands.

Hen House Studios Interviews Singer Andy Tubman

November 19, 2010

Hen House Studios Podcast with Andy Tubman

Andy Tubman creates music is beautiful, inspiring and heart-felt. With an impressive range, his style slips fluidly from late-night at the bar rock ballads where you can feel the heat from the amps to soft horns and melodious guitars deftly woven into lyrical fabric by Andy’s sweet voice. The sound created is unique, familiar and new, with echoes of Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits as his voice trails off into gravelly tones after soaring lyrics that take you into hidden places in your own heart. Spectacular.
