Hey! Last week, SASB mandolinist Matt Silberstein was profiled in a Valley Advocate article on his new band. Then, yesterday, I picked up this week's Advocate to find this article about SASB accordionist/vocalist Ella Longpre and her Dust Savior Project. It's been a real kick to read about the great music they're making, and their personalities really come through in the articles (Matthew Dube does a great job of allowing people to sound like themselves in his Behind the Beat column).
So, to extrapolate on this trend of wall-to-wall, up-to-the-minute SASB coverage: next week in Matthew Dube's column: "Andy Goulet and his amazing junkyard instruments"? "Brandee Simone impresses the hell out of everybody with her sultry voice and 13-octave range"? "Ryan Quinn adequate at banjo"? Only time will tell.
