Cubbage w/ Sid Kingsley and Matt Witte | Saturday, February 15
CUBBAGE is a self-producing and multi-instrumental folk/pop singer-songwriter based out of Philadelphia. He first started writing music with the alt-rock duo Read the Program, until college had broken their paths, and he started to find his own sound. Cubbage started recording his first solo songs at Ithaca College School of Music where he studied Sound Recording Technology for 3 semesters. After leaving school he immediately immersed himself in the world of recording with the goal of "putting down as many ideas as possible until I either run out of time or get tired of it," spending over 16 hours a day recording, mixing, arranging and writing in the month of February 2016, then mixing and mastering in April 2016.
SID KINGSLEY: "Armed with a towering voice, clear message, and expansive tone, Kingsley has put together an incredible collection of gripping songs that freely and boldly explore the broad umbrella that is Americana. This record is overflowing with the heart and spirit of its musicians, most notably Kingsley himself who erupts at times with a bellow akin to legendary musician Levon Helm. It’s Kingsley’s voice and hand that makes Good Way Home so compelling, so cathartic, and so unbelievably spectacular. Saying this is one of Richmond’s finest Americana releases in its storied history is a bold proclamation, but dive only a minute into the first song of the record and you’ll know it’s true."
MATT WITTE: Finger rippin', country pickin' tears in your beers country, folk and blues from the Northeast Coast. M. Witte was born in Jersey, resides in Brooklyn and is the bastard son of Chainsaw III and Coach N’ Commando. Find him touring up and down the country in basements, sidewalks, and music venues coast to coast.
