Blind Pilot: Behind the Scenes

Portland, Oregon based Blind Pilot came blazing through our Kitchen this week on their way to a show at Studio B in downtown Greensboro.  It was fast and furious and we loved every second of it.  In less than half an hour Israel and Ryan had a cup of tea, did several beautiful takes of their song and gave us a tiny interview.  These guys aren’t touring the country for nothin’.  Truly lovely.  Let’s just say that their cd has been in constant rotation here at the Monkeywhale Studio (and in the car) since the night of the show. 

Many thanks to Blind Pilot and Pete Schroth and everyone at the sound check who was patient while we stole them away.  We hope we’ve done them justice.

Here’s something I’ve been looking forward to for months. Thanks in large part to our neighbor Heather and the kind staff of the Weatherspoon Art Museum we gained access to the inner workings of the art installation process and were able to interview Leo in our kitchen.
This was a collaborative effort as part of our [...]

Harvey’s Kitchen: Pearl and the Beard, Lost in Singapore

Two songs just aren’t enough.  They came to our kitchen, braved the cold and the drizzle in the back yard and ate Indian food with us before returning to Brooklyn, NY.  Fear not, they’ll be returning to Greensboro on March 13th as part of our Monkeywhale presents series …
Many thanks to Jocelyn, Emily and Jeremy [...]

Harvey’s Kitchen: Pearl and the Beard, Vessel

Harvey’s Kitchen: Pearl and the Beard, Vessel

For the past 2 years monkeywhale and our kind neighbors have thrown a Halloween party.  Nothing fancy.  A couple of gazebos, a keg, strings of lights across the lawn and a few lanterns.  We also project films on the barn that have fallen into the public domain … like, Nosferatu for instance. Creepy and a [...]

Harvey’s Kitchen: Michael Ford Jr., and The Apache Relay

Harvey’s Kitchen: Michael Ford Jr., and The Apache Relay

An Apache Relay is the pre-colonial version of a courier system.  Chiefs would compete against each other to see who could have a message delivered in the shortest amount of time.  A Relay of 8 scouts could hand a message over a quarter of a mile in 3 minutes.  Apparently.   Just imagine if they [...]

Harvey’s Kitchen: Lyndsay Wojcik, Driving you out of my mind

Harvey’s Kitchen: Lyndsay Wojcik, Driving you out of my mind

Lyndsay, a neighbor to our fellow monkeywhalers in Asheville, NC came to our attention due to the insistence of Dulci, Shane and Jason of Now You See Them (a prior visitor to the kitchen).  Dulci and Shane actually accompany Lyndsay on this song along with the very talented Matt Williams.
Who is this Lyndsay Wojcik? (pronounced [...]

Jim Avett: Live at the Dotmatrix Project. Through the Passing Years.

Here’s another song from a very special evening that began with a lovely set by Bruce Piephoff (a longtime friend who inaugurated the Harvey’s Kitchen series).  Jim Avett is father to Scott and Seth Avett, of the Avett Brothers who were recently signed to Columbia Records.
The dotmatrix project is a monthly concert series which is [...]
