What a show. We love performing in Berryville—our very own hometown. The arts thrive in our community, and we hugely appreciate that! Thanks for helping us celebrate the release of our new CD Again with great style and panache. We performed all 11 of the songs on Again during the show. Here are some videos […]
Special thanks to Stilson Greene and Acoustic on the Green for adding us to this summer’s lineup in Leesburg. The show Saturday night was great: perfect weather on a sultry summer evening and an appreciative audience who was engaged and thoughtful. It is a rare thing indeed to have the privilege of playing original music […]
The almost final step engineering the recording of Clark Hansbarger’s song Bright Penny at National Media Services. Gary McGraw and Will Shenk spend a couple of hours or so on each track. The last and final step is choosing a song order and mastering the final disc to balance out the song levels. Looks like […]
Monday was the last day of studio time putting down raw bits for the new CD, “Again.” As always, it was an intense time of great concentration and fun. We really love working with Will Shenk. Here is a very nice vignette video that Will shot while we were recording. We recorded two songs this […]
Though there were 130 people packed into the Barns of Rose Hill for the Civil War CD debut (on a Thursday!!), only one person had a camera! Thank the stars for Michael Hobert! Needless to say, the concert was magical. Clark’s high concept was a smash hit in practice. The audience was rapt, and the […]
Friday we were all back in the studio at National Media Services in Front Royal hoping to get the last five songs from Again into the can. Three out of five is not bad. We recorded Pick One, Scarlet at Midnight, and Worry Me No More. Six hours later, we were toast. Working with engineer […]
This weekend, Allen Kitselman transformed a cold rainy evening in Leesburg into a magical time with his outstanding musicianship, his astute storytelling, his humor, and his empathy. There was not a dry eye in the place at times, and that had nothing to do with the weather. Allen’s deeply-personal songs touch your soul and warm […]
Great show last night at Franklin Park Arts Center. An appreciative crowd of over 100 came to be part of it. Thank you! We can rock. We can roll. The title song for the new CD is Again. Here is a live version. A pre-release studio mp3 is also available. We love playing our music […]
We always love playing our hometown. 130 people came out to fill the house at BRH Friday. The audience was engaged, appreciative, and a little sassy. Just like we like it. What a show! We played some fan favorites. And some new songs, including Tammy Lee. Worry me no More is one of the new […]
What a joy. The house concert at Suni’s was an excellent evening for the band and the audience too. The concert was played in memory of Ike who died Thursday the 2nd after thirteen years as a dedicated and very special dog. During the show, the Bitter Liberals debuted several new songs and unveiled Clark […]
