Ok, I know the Benjy show is mentioned on here already. But, DUDES! look around. We are SURROUNDED by local talent.
The Benjy Ferree show is the Editor's Pick in the Washington Post City Guide this week. Here's an excerpt from today's review that just happens to mention local boys, Laris Kreslins (Box Theory Records & Arthur Mag) and Nick P (Planaria Recordings)...
""Leaving the Nest," which was released jointly by Washington's Planaria Recordings and Philadelphia's Box Theory Records in October, is a tight, hook-filled collection with six songs in less than a half-hour. Based around ringing acoustic guitar chords and Ferree's weathered, blues-soaked vocals, the CD contains a blend of singalongs that fall between the Beatles and Kinks and the spare harmonies of Iron & Wine, with plenty of folksy touches: A lyrical fiddle melody provides the basis of album-opener "The Desert," while Ferree provides Dylanesque harmonica and even two whistling solos. (You can listen to a streaming version of the record on www.boxtheoryrecords.com.)...."
