The Rhythm Prophets plays blues and rock tending toward the more progressive side, says Rod Matcham, longtime musician and composer, who with Eduardo Sanchez and Rob 长三角. Matcham has been playing and performing for over 40 years. “I’m in the process of recording 45 new songs,” he said, some of which the audience will 在电影节上听到. In his younger years, Rod toured, and he eyes a future with more 音乐和巡演. For now, he’s glad to maintain his business during the pandemic. It’s been hard not having anywhere to play, he said. “We lost a lot of shows around 国家.”
Most of the music they play will be original, Matcham said. He describes it as blues to rock but says it gets “a little hard edged sometimes. We have a tight signature. We work really hard to sound bigger than three people and we do a pretty good job 它的.”
星期二下午2点 is a 马格达莱纳 band which formed about four years ago, at first playing every Tuesday at 2:00 in the living room of the late fiddler and drummer Geraldo "Gerry" •科尔文. The others continued to play: Mike Danielsen on guitar; Susan Alexander, mandolin and violin; and Sarita Johnson playing banjo and spoons. George Murillo on bass, trumpet and keyboards joined the group a couple of years ago. Playing a mixture of old-timey, country and folk with strong harmonies, 星期二下午2点 has played for SocorroFest, OktoberFest and Sunday Sessions at the Capitol Bar, as well as in 马格达莱纳 for the Samaritan Center, 朋友 of the Library, Old Timers Reunion, and Frontier Festival.
“We’re really excited about playing,” said Sarita Johnson who says she has no formal musical education and learned how to play banjo after getting one in her 30s. “我看到 a guy playing and I banged on his door and asked if he’d give me lessons,” she said. She and Susan Alexander were introduced to Mike Danielsen when they first visited 马格达莱纳. Susan grew up with music as part of her life, Sarita said, and has played violin and guitar since high school.
Once the pandemic hit, the band quit their weekly practices but Mike and George continued 一起玩. Among George’s many talents, Sarita says, is his technological know-how. “He has gotten us into recordings. Well, George decided we should do a country CD,” Sarita said, to be called Covid国家. 星期二下午2点 also has recorded a CD of Susan’s originals called 沙漠女王 and the group’s first CD called 从头到尾.
