Hello World! Do you love movies? Do you love music? Amber Rubarth and Joe Purdy toured in February to promote their new movie American Folk. Joe has been listening to Roger Miller (I had a “Musical Flashback” with Joe to England Swings ) and Townes Van Zandt. Amber told me I probably would not be familiar with her musical interests- Maria Gadú (see Maria Gadú and Tony Bennett Blue Velvet ) or Salif Keita. 603 Melody is all about discovering new music. So I looked up Salif and was interested to find him on the 2001 Ali soundtrack. It was a pleasant surprise to see musician Jay Nash in the audience at the Tupelo (love The Contender’s song Lincoln, 1958). Jay is loving Iron & Wine’s Epic Beast. I will have to get bassist Matt DelVecchio’s and producer Matt Miller’s(not pictured) favs next time! So glad I got to meet these talented people!
Take a listen to Amber, Joe, and Matt performing
Thanks for checking in!
What are you listening to?
