Theo Sieben, Friday June 17th 2011.

Theo Sieben (Amsterdam), live on air.
Recorded: June 17th 2011, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: Untill Grass/Sunny Satellite/Sound Of The Stone

Note: Amsterdam Singer-Songwriter, guitarist, composer and session musician, who’s been working with names like Klerkx & The Secret, Paulusma, Alex van Warmerdam etc. Heavily influenced by Appalachean folk and Americana, he came to the show for a chat on his then recently released solo album ‘Untill Grass’. Brought along violinist/singer Judith Kolen, to perform three songs inbetween running to the parking meter for a refill. Didn’t feel we connected totally during the interview, but in the end we were all happy with both interview and liveset.

Jessie Galante (USA), Thursday June 2nd 2011.

Jessie Galante (New York City), 2-Track recorded.
Thursday June 2nd 2011, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2’ Gouda.
Tracks: Spitfire/Go On, Rain On Me

Note: Very soulfull Rocking lady dropped by for an acoustic session and interview and to shoot some material for a documentary on her meeting local musicians, while being on the road. Very spirited interview, which was augmented by Dutch guitarist/musical partner Koen Wolters. For unknown reasons the recordings crackle a bit. Before recording, the guitarist and cameraman (Lawrence Swist), tried to connect a small reverb device, to add some effect on the vocals, but decided to call it a day, as it needed way too much recabling the studio, for just this session. Great performances and a firy interview though.

Boring Pop, Friday April 1st 2011.

Boring Pop (Rotterdam area), live on air.
Recorded: April 1st 2011, ‘Gouwestad Radio Studio 2.
Tracks: The Man Upstairs/What He Likes/A Doll/ Black Lines/Flies In The Kitchen

Note: Lighthearted pop by (former) ‘Yoshimi’ guitarist and drummer, with harmony vocals and lighthearted melodies. Lyrical a bit more grimm at points though. Nice guys, which meant a great time on and around airtime.
