WXPN

If you’ve followed Sisters Dissonance adventures over the years you are aware that we have had some amazing experiences doing what we do. The Morelings WXPN The Key Studio session was no exception. On 2-6-16 I had the opportunity to photograph their performance while they did a live set.

I have been to the WXPN venue many times hanging around and photographing shows. But this was my first time in The Key Studio. It is great! The walls leading into the studio are signed by all the names of the bands who’ve walked the halls and played the stage there, adding to the ambiance which is timeless and very cool. The studio session sounded amazing from where I listened in the recording booth with John Vettese (yes! I got to meet and kinda hang out with John Vettese. He’s as cool as you’d imagine). The dreamy ethereal sounds combined with stormy visuals created a session that only The Morelings could bring to WXPN. Trust me, you don’t want to miss the live broadcast of the show — 3/15 at 9pm EST on 88.5 FM, or on the web at XPN.org. While you listen live you can view the photo set here.

On Thursday you can find The Morelings live at a WXPN curated, Red Bull Sound Select sponsored show at The Foundry at The Fillmore opening for Good Old War and Gabriel Garzon Montano.

Guest Review for the Splintered Sunlight show by “AFAN”

Philadelphia-based Splintered Sunlight, arguably the Atlantic Coast’s best Grateful Dead tribute band, rocked Wilmington’s historic The Queen theatre on Friday with impeccable sonic grooves straight outta the Dead catalogue – just close your eyes and you are there, man. Dan Leyden’s guitar is clean, signature Bob Weir, and his voice almost indistinguishable from Weir’s, while Butchy Sochorow’s Jerry is so spot on it brings chills even to Dead afficiandos – who come out in droves to see Sunlight and get taken back to the good old days. I dare anyone to play Sunlight’s “Queen Jane” or “Feel Like a Stranger” to a real Dead fan and see what they think. Stephen Spatz’s Phil Lesh is amazing, and Mike Borowski’s keyboards drone and drive just like Pigpen’s. Jerry Horan and Tony Gioia rock TWO drum kits on stage. These guys are awesome.
