Hot Club of Hawthorne CD Release Party!
Fremont Theater
In March 2017, an expanded lineup of the Hot Club of Hawthorne went into the studio at Fremont Recording. Then in October, a 2nd lineup -- representative of the typical instrumentation for the band -- recorded another session, in a different sonic environment. 14 songs — swing numbers from 1922 or earlier, gypsy traditionals, and a waltz — were performed live in the studio, and it was mixed to tape for an organic sound. We are very pleased with the results!
Personnel:
SESSION 1 — Fremont location
- Jeffree White (founder) — guitar, vox
- Jason Reichert (Down Home Music, the Juleps) — guitar, vox
- Rick King (Steer Crazy, Inspirational Beets) —, vox
- Jeffrey Reynolds (Down Home Music) — violin
- Steve Cleveland (Hot Club Time Machine) — accordion
- Ralph Carney (Tom Waits, Pepper Grinders) — clarinet, saxophone
- Drew Nelson (Vagabond Opera) — bass
SESSION 2 — Sauvie Island location of Fremont Recording
- Jeffree White — guitar, vocals
- Twayn Williams (Jenny Finn Orchestra) — guitar
- Flauren Ricketts (Lulu's Wing) — violin, harmony vocals
- Bernardo Gomez (every swing band in town) — bass
To celebrate, this show occurs down the street from the studio, at the magnificent Fremont Theater. The lineup will include 6 players from the 1st session!
The Juleps open the show at 8pm.
$10 admission. CDs will be half-price for attendees!
