Yellow Couch Sessions @ Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival

This band embodies everything I love about songwriting and their arrangements are master's classes in supporting the song. Max Somerville writes songs that recall some of the best that ever were—Jackson Browne, Todd Rundgren, and early Elton John—in short, just really fantastic music. You can also tell that these guys really love playing music together and really, why the hell wouldn't they?
I broke out Peluso's 2247se in a figure 8 pattern to capture Max's vocals, as well as some of the room and the gang vocals at the end. Nathan's Telecaster was captured with the TR-14 tube ribbon mic on our Vox AC15 (provided by Empire Music!) and we used the P-49 on the Ampeg BA10 (also from Empire). Finally, we used the P-12 on Max's keyboard amp.
