Acoustic Alternatives with Jess Merritt and John Bommarito

Acoustic Alternatives

Recorded on location at Jess's home in Ann Arbor on the piano she learned to play on as a child, this session will sound a bit different than the others because of how it was recorded (see the video if you want to understand).

I must note, it only sounds as good as it does because of the incredible Chris DuPont (do yourself a favor and listen the other two podcasts I did with him) because he took the raw files, which didn't sound very good at all, and dressed them up and made them pretty.

Jess is an incredible singer I have seen on a number of occasions as part of a Christmas variety show in Ann Arbor known as EBird and Friends. She is often the most memorable vocalist on stage.

In this session we talk about her upcoming 40th Birthday party show at The Ark and she plays three originals:

Family Stone

Stones Alone

Impermanence

All songs written and performed by Jess Merritt (https://www.facebook.com/theunderstorey).
