Americana Tuesdays "wonderful"



Writing for the TU Best of 2011, Michael Eck sez "[i]n April an unnamed combo consisting of bassist Michael Bisio, fiddler Mat Kane and mandolinist Sten Isachsen played as part of Dan Johnson's wonderful Americana Tuesdays program at Valentines's. The trio simply assaulted "Kitchen Girl." Conjure Bill Monroe and Albert Ayler in a stripped-to-the-waist fistfight and you're only halfway there. Imagination spattered like blood. Why this group has yet to reconvene is anyone's guess and quite possibly a criminal offense." Thanks!

Dan Johnson and his Expert Sidemen Commence Studio Recording


The band has laid down the bones for twelve tracks for the album, which is slated for release sometime in late spring. We're very excited that the Americana Tuesdays host band has finally pulled it together to get this thing going. Now there's a lot more studio work to do laying down the icing on this cake and fine-tuning every note. Expect great things.
