Sully’s Cafe at The Greenroom Episode 7, For the Love of…Local Music

“For the Love of…Local Music”

FtLoS

Sully and Josh are joined in the studio by For the Love of Sloane and discuss their many awards and accolades as well as a big show they had recently performed, and another, even bigger show they have coming up soon.  After a lengthy discussion, Sloane had the opportunity to play four songs before heading out the door to stay on their schedule.  Dennis Emsley joined the gents to help out at the sound board, and make sure they could muster the best sound possible without the presence of Sharkbone or Rene.  They discuss the insanely busy past week in local music with quick coverage of a lot of the shows that had happened in Providence, including but not limited to, Creation Tuesday, Shane Manzi and Friends, Jon Tierney, Dan Mills, Daniel Chase, Chris Rosenquest, Nicky P, Kris Hansen, Scare Don’t Fear, Shannon Corey, Funkatronic, Spogga, Suave Richardson and Santa Mamba.  Tunes Around Town is perhaps a bit thinner in discussion this week than most, but with Providence Sound Session happening, more than enough music to quench your ears can be found all over “The Creative Capital.”

“Frequency with a Bang”
