Acoustic Circus Vol II is final here! (See the interview with producer Mark Sundermeier in this month’s issue). This is a very well done recording of 18 local artists doing “stripped-down and caught-in-the-raw” versions of their originals. As the title states, the primary instrumentation is guitars, and lots of good performing on them. The compilation covers a broad style of music, from hard rock bands like No Fair Fights (my favorite song on the disc) to country twang like Buckstein and Ryan Chrys, to songwriters Andy Ard, and Megan Burtt to name a few. Kyle Zender did a really terrific job capturing the nuances of each artist with his knowledgeable production skills. The discs are not for sale, however you can get a copy from the artists or simply go to the Toad Tavern on June 28 and 29 and get a copy with your admission. Don’t miss this opportunity to get a true local collectors item that will stand the test of time.
