We are very pleased to announce that the 4star EP is finished! Recorded at Cambridge Sound Studios in Newtown, PA, by Grammy nominated producer Jim Salamone, the recording features 6 original songs, and it definitely rocks! The first two songs are posted on our myspace page: www.myspace.com/4startheband. The songs are described below.
1) Money Burning Machine - This song is posted on our myspace page.
2) Rear Upper Flat - This is also posted on our myspace page.
3) John William Bell - This one is a high energy high speed "punk-grass" tune with a mind blowing fiddle solo by noted local bluegrass and Celtic musician Mark Arrington at the end of the song. Mark played banjo on the song as well. The song is about a Revolutionary War era outlaw turned soldier we call John William Bell. Sorry, you need to get the CD to hear this one, or come to one of our upcoming shows, where you can both hear the song live and buy the CD!
4) Fourth Street Juke Joints – In this song 4star pays homage to the masters of blues and early rock and roll with a straight-ahead almost punk style.
5) Rumor on My Tuner – With tripped out lyrics and diminished chords throughout, this song features big guitars and 3-part harmonies. Jim Salamone sings in the opening two lines of the song.
6) She Cat Raindog – Originally written using refrigerator magnets and with the help of a small child, this song closes the CD. It’s a mid-tempo “anthemic” folk rock tune heavy on harmonies and rock and roll guitars.
We have several shows coming up and we will have CD’s for sale at each:
1) Friday July 17th at 10PM at the Red Stallion in Warrington, PA
2) Saturday July 18th at 3PM at John and Peter’s in New Hope. Come on out for this one. It’s our first “EP/CD Release Party”!
The CD will be also available at certain local record stores and online within the upcoming weeks. Details to follow!
