Blue Sky Mission Club - Hickory Fest 2007 ..
. "Ithaca, NY. based Blue Sky Mission Club has been making music under the voice and guidance of founder London McDaniel since 2004. In fact the Bands 2006 CD “Riding the Horizon” is a happy rollicking debut that will undoubtedly get the feet moving.
But the roster has changed in the past year, besides the addition of Jeff Tripoli on Drums, McDaniel’s Strong voice and guitar work also leads Tonya Byham on vocals and scrub board, Rob Delphos on accordion and scrub board, Coleman Smith on Fiddle and Frank Henry on Bass.
They just finished a three song EP that takes the roots rock vibe to neat places. “Dance with me Sister” adds horns and a light jazz feel to Byham’s lovely vocals. “Down and out” throbs like a swampy love song as she sings, “You may think I’m Dreaming/But I couldn’t love you any deeper than I do”. And run away tonight is a sweet march that stride into a pop-friendly feel.... Get ready to groove with Roots Rock, Zydeco, Soul and The Blues."
