JESSE COLIN YOUNG's "Sunlight" – 50 Years and Fresh!

Owl Mountain Sessions 006 presents one of our most profound influences, Jesse Colin Young. "Sunlight" harkens back to his first record, "Soul of a City Boy”, when Jesse went into the studio in 1964 with Producer/Pianist/Composer Bobby Scott and cut his first full-length record in 4 hours. This is Jesse at his purest, with only his luscious tenor voice and fingerstyle acoustic guitar playing to bring you into a story, a love song, that speaks to the time when he and The Youngbloods first traveled to San Francisco. Ultimately, “Sunlight” would be the first song Jesse wrote after he made the big move from New York City to the small farming town of Point Reyes Station on the Northern California coast. Such a move would be culture shock for most, but for Jesse, the band, and their families, this was a cultural release that to this day has spawned close to five decades more of creativity. Join us for 006 "Sunlight" and let Jesse take you on a beautiful 4-minute journey of love and inspiration.

Please also take the time to go to www.jessecolinyoung.com to view Jesse's tour schedule. We had the opportunity to see him and his new band at The Sweetwater Music Hall this month and were blown away by their performance. Catch a glimpse into that glorious night with "Ridgetop" as filmed by Owl Mountain Productions HERE. He and his talented crew have been selling out venues all over the East and West coasts, so get those tickets quick!

An Evening with BESO NEGRO - LIVE

Owl Mountain Productions LIVE presents An Evening with BESO NEGRO at Phil Lesh's Terrapin Crossroads in San Rafael, CA. 

The genre-defying music of BESO NEGRO takes the simmering mystery and romance of gypsy swing and ignites it with hard-driving rock, blues, and Latin flourishes. With infectiously danceable rhythms, charged vocals, inspired lyrics, and stunning solos, BESO NEGRO's pioneering hybrid sound conjures the charisma of the classic while bringing in the sizzle of the new.

Includes live clips of favorite BESO hits:
"Here I Go Again"
"Big Boss Man"
"C'est La Vie"
"Scrambled Eggs"
"Grow"
and finishing with a scorching preview of BESO's latest single, "Never Coming Down"

Gypsy Swing with The Stratospheres

The Stratospheres play an eclectic blend of gypsy jazz and Western swing—if Bob Wills and Django Reinhardt had formed a band in some parallel musical universe, it might sound something like this. Musicians Hanna Mignano (violin), Steve Froberg (guitar), and Greg Dunn (bass) use their instrumental prowess and love of swing to marry two very similar musical genres into one, to create a unique listening (and dancing!) experience.

 

Owl Mountain Productions presents The Stratospheres' live performance of "Django's Castle" ("Manoir des Mes Reves", Composed by Django Reinhardt) at Corkscrew Wine Bar in Petaluma, California. 1/6/2017
