Anticipation (Originally Posted 4-19)

At the beginning of this week our good friend, guitarist extraordinaire, Chris Bickley released a preview of his upcoming album Tapestry of Souls. The song, Race Car Guy, is an instrumental trip into the heart of an open wheel race car driver (based on open wheel driver Tonis Kasemets). 

 

Chris has an incredible ability to look deep inside of his subject and turn it into a painting of musical expression of which The Race Car Guy is a great example. I have had the chance to hear previews of other  songs on the album and can tell you the tracks are fantastic.

This highly anticipated debut of one of America’s best session musicians will be available for pre-orders on Itunes this Saturday April 21st, with the full release coming on May 1st. Learn more about Chris at http://chrisbickley.net 

Meanwhile, BNK Productions will be at work again for Chris Bro and NEXT Music ( http://allthingsnext.com/ ) on April 21st at Paulie’s Bar in Pleasantville, NY. The weekend’s performers are Lily Arnell, The Modern Electric, with headliner The Attic Ends. Usually these shows are on the second Friday of every month but this one is on a Saturday for those of you who are easily confused. Paulie’s is an easy to find, cool little place not to far from the Saw Mill Parkway and the Pleasantville train station. This show is going to be awesome! So pre-order Chris’s new album and head up to Paulie’s this Saturday and lets have some fun!

Behind The Board – Website Updating & Other Things 5-30-2012

Well, here is our new, improved, and totally incomplete webpage. Our original blog posts disappeared during the change over. Now it’s back and forth between our host service and the original website software company. Hopefully soon we can put those old posts back up.

Meanwhile, we’re getting ready for a few upcoming events. The one that seems most fun will be the next NEXT Charity Concert Series show on June 8th. This one is going to have a some changes to it’s normal shows. It will be outdoors for one. Right at PCTV’s  studios in Pleasantville, NY. The show is going to be on TV. This adds to our technical challenge a tiny bit. We’ll need to have a mix good enough for TV and the audience in two positions. 

Only one band this time and they’re a good choice! Robbers On High Street. They will be releasing their newest CD at this event! Check the Facebook event page here for more information.
