Liner Notes

The sound is unmistakeable - The gypsy jazz guitar stylings of Duane Andrews.  Pair that with the Cape Breton fiddle and you've got a sound all its own.  The two Duanes, Dwayne Cote and Duane Andrews, released their first collaboration together in 2010.  Now the Duanes meet again on their latest CD, The Empress.

For the last few years Matthew Hare has shared the musical stage playing in the local group,’ The Rents”. Now Matthew has changed that musical stage to a solo setup. Just him and his guitar performing his emotional acoustic alternative origional music.

And now with the release of his debut solo CD,” This Time Last Year”, Matthew is finding that fan’s who give it a listen can relate to his musical message.

Recently Matthew sat down with Mack Furlong to talk about his new direction.

Fresh off their CD launch party at the Rock House Friday past the Long Distance Runners are gearing up for a few short tours and a very busy summer making,’Tracks”.

The Long Distance Runners spent a little more time that usual in the studio making sure that there newest release,”Tracks” was exactly what they wanted. Taking on the task of performing all the musical parts that they possibly could so that their live performances are a tru reflection of their music, the guys approached recording with a new tact.
