Feb 06 : "All Is All" - Jackie Paper

New Music / Freshly Written & Recently Released (2011)

Philly Music!

It was getting very late. A musician had just finished playing and left the stage. Listeners were starting to file out of the room. Most of the other musicians had packed up and left.

And then Jackie Paper quietly walked up to the front of the room , sat down and informally began to improvise playing a few random chords on his guitar.

I was struck immediately by the beauty of the chord progressions.

He continued to play some random riffs and phrases. A nice indie / shoegaze surprise! And then Iam Mick, host of the evening (Jan 20, Comly Haus Basement Sound Laboratory), joined in playing backup on the drums.

This was a very enjoyable set. I checked out Jackie's web page afterwards and started listening to some of his songs on line. Jackie (aka Joshua Dowell in RL) has the following quote on his Reverbnation page :::

Culminating various past efforts into a refreshing new sound. Still infectious. Still lushy. Always from the heart. "Thanks to those who have supported me through it all. You are the reason I do this. Forever may we share the beauty of music and its magical ability to give us escape and bring us together all at the same time."

Current song playing right here on my blog page is "All Is All".
