  • A reflection on “Near and Far” by Rob Spectre

    Published vis Shafted! (www.arturogottheshaft.com)

    The underground folkrok duo howie&scott released their sophomore, self-produced release in April to a pack of fans with a loyalty bordering on vermicious. Still the best kept secret of the South Central Nebraska music scene, the eclectic sound of the Crete rock pair has matured considerably from the days of Bigger Sounds from Fewer Folk; a maturity that has left the initial core of the h&s vibe largely intact. Strange, experimental chords, odd time signatures, thumping world beats, and Scott Morris’ blazing sax virtuosity all remain in the new record, though some surprises are in store for every listener.

  • If You…

    were at tonight’s show with Life in General, I hope you feel you were a part of a great night of music. I do. Jason and Jerry’s songs are part of my experience of these years, and hearing their music has me both comforted, and with the idea of being on the tips of my toes at the edge of something else – who knows when or where their music and ours will cross paths again? Saying “thanks” is too impersonal to give words to the friendship that Jason and Jerry have extended. Nights like these are why I like to venture out of the studio to play, and maybe also why you like to come and listen (or sing along). -h
