Rehaash-GOODbye Moon

GOODbye Moon was a record I made back in 2003. It’s old. Older than my oldest child. But I still enjoy performing songs from it.
Let me take you back to the very early 2000’s.
I was a big fan of this New Jersey band out of Nashville called Joe, Marc’s Brother. The internet was young. But somehow, I found out that frontman Joe Pisapia was releasing a solo record. I asked him to come play in Annapolis, and he did. I gathered some friends and musicians and we recreated his solo album. It was joyous. After the show, I asked Joe if he would consider producing a record for me. I am delighted to report that Joe agreed.
And GOODbye Moon was the result. On my drives to and from Nashville, I listened to so many great artists that called that city home. David Mead and Josh Rouse – both added their vocals to my record. Swan Dive (Bill DeMain and Molly Felder), – on repeat on those 11+ hour commutes. I can’t recall when I first heard The Bees record, but Daniel Tashian and his next band, The Silver Seas, fall into this same geographic / sonic universe for me. Maybe it was producer / songwriter Brad Jones that is the center of it all?
Perhaps more research is required.
What I do know is this: these artists and their music take me back to that time. And I do love a reliable Time Machine.
So for January’s reHAASh, I (we), will be performing songs from within this universe I just mentioned.
And deep inside this universe lives a little moon (GOODbyeMoon). Maybe that moon will temporarily be the center of the musical universe for this one evening.
Join us, won’t you?
