It looks like things are heading in a very positive direction for something(s) completely new from JW>P! OK, well, it’s actually something old combined with something new. I’m jazzed. I’m excited. And, I’m afraid, that’s …
Read the full story »I am really looking forward to seeing my cousin, Doug, as well as a group of very familiar faces when Portland Cello Project comes to town for a show this Saturday (July 31) at Mojo’s inside the River Music Experience in Downtown Davenport! Since the winter of 2008 when I spent almost 3 weeks photographing Portland Cello Project I have developed an appreciation for these musicians.
Yes, the fact that my cousin is involved perhaps makes it more interesting to me, personally, but I’d like to think that had I been exposed to PCP any other way I would still be fascinated by the talent and musicianship (is that a word?) contained within the collaboration of these fine northwestern cellists.
They are touring the Midwest (and cities along the way) in support of their latest release: Thousand Words. The track featured on the video, above, is “Halo” (yes, the video game) and can be found on “Thousand Words” which should be for sale at the show this Saturday. While I have never played Halo I still have a healthy respect for a group of musicians who spend hours upon hours creating the arrangements and rehearsing a composition for the cello derived from a video game theme! The gamer in me would love to hear their rendition of “Killzone 2″ but I digress!
Anyway, the show this Saturday is family friendly and all ages are welcome. While I will be on location photographing Leigh & Kevin’s wedding I hope you can make it to the show. There is no cover although I understand that donations are gladly accepted. Again, it’s this Saturday, July 31, 7-9:PM at Mojo’s inside the River Music Experience, Davenport, Iowa.
