The Recipe - One Day Away From The Cusp
Drawing from a wide array of musical backgrounds and influences, The Recipe has become well known as one of the most original bands on the roots-rock/jamband scene. Roaring out of Morgantown, WV in 1995 with their debut cd "Love Marble Hoe Down", the band made their name known throughout the country as they developed a strong following due to their high-energy live shows and a heavy touring schedule. In the following years they became a fixture on the national club and festival scene. The band continued to stay busy, releasing "Night of The Porch People" in 1998, followed up in 2000 with "Geode", "All You Can Eat"(the first live CD) in 2003, and "Jubilee" in 2006.
Throughout the years, the bands strong foundation has been maintained by Joe Prichard, carrying on The Recipe sound with amazing musicians,providing fans across the country with countless unforgettable live shows, and sharing the stage with artists such as Rusted Root, Widespread Panic, String Cheese Incident, Moe, Les Claypool, Govt. Mule, The Derek Trucks Band, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Sam Bush, Donna The Buffalo, Keller Williams and countless others.
In 1999 the first annual Recipe Family Cookout was held in Terra Alta, WV and has continued to this day as a festival that is part festival and part family reunion, featuring three days of music, camping, football, and a food drive for local charities. This festival has featured such artists as Leftover Salmon, Keller Williams, John Cowan, Peter Rowan and Tony Rice resulting in unforgettable on stage colaborations.
Going into 2004 with the band's then new website www.therecipefamily.com receiving thousands of hits a month worldwide, and, three of their cd's finishing in the year-end top selling list on the well respected Homegrown Music Network, the band set out to finish their long awaited fifth CD "Jubilee", which was finally released to rave reviews in October 2006 debuting at 12 on the Homegrown Charts. It appeared that this would be the Recipe's swansong as Joe decided in June of 2007 after 12 years of non-stop touring to pull the show off the road for an undisclosed amount of time. During his hiatus he released his first Joe Prichard Band disc called "Just Play The Damn Song". Joe continued however, to keep himself close to home doing mostly local performances with the exception of reorganizing The Recipe in 2007 and 2008 to do The Recipe Family Cookout at Nelson Ledges Quarry Park near Garrettsville, OH.
During the summer of 2008 he met singer/songwriter Shannon Jones who caught his attention at an open mic he had been hosting at Billy's in Clarksburg, WV. He noticed that her vocal sound was "strangely familiar". She mentioned to joe that they should try to do some work together. about a month later in August of 2008 Shannon wrote "Momentum" which had an uncanny resemblance to all things in a Recipe song. Soon they were doing several duet acoustic shows in WV, PA, and OH. The appearances they made in late 2008 were starting to trigger a fan response that seemed to call for a return to being The Recipe. Bringing in former Fiddler Mike Mitchell, Bassist Phil Risko and Percussionist Tom Kirk to go with JPB members Jason Hastings(drums) and Eric Sargent(guitar), the band found itself coming full circle and now planning a new Recipe release for 2010. Fresh off of a startling performance at the 2009 Gratefulfest the band then returned to one of its former homes. The 13th annual Allgood Festival. With the effect of these two high profile plays causing a new wave of excitement among many new and old Recipe fans one thing is now evident. The best is still to come for The Recipe. to get a look at The Recipe of today go to therecipe.yolasite.com. Are you ready to get your freak on?
