DHARMASOUL

July 1st, the duo Dharmasoul was formed and in August 2017 they recorded their debut album, LIGHTNING KID at Verdant Studios (Pete Weiss) in Athens, VT, with friends Brendan Moore (keys), Matt Murphy (bass), and Laurence Scudder (viola). The crew recorded the full record live, with minimal overdubs. Following the session at Verdant Studios, they added overdubs with Cindy Walker and Marie Lewey (who Jonah had worked with when he produced both “Bound to Meet the Devil” by Julie Rhodes, and “Through These Waves”, for Bill Scorzari). who recorded background vocals at Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama; engineered by John Gifford III (who engineered Jonah’s “Thousand Mile Night”). The album will be released in Spring 2018. When it comes to what Dharmasoul means for them, Jonah and Kevin both reference not only their great respect for one another’s talents but also their friendship.

This project feels like something that’s been waiting for ten years," comments Tolchin. "Yet it couldn’t have happened any sooner than it did. LIGHTNING KID represents a culmination of our collective influences throughout our years as music appreciators and players, ranging from folk and world music to funk, jazz, blues, rock, hip-hop, R&B, and gospel. Adds Clifford, "We don’t think about fitting into specific genres. That’s what makes our partnership so special. We have an openness and a clarity that respects and honors freedom of musical expression."

ALI MCGUIRK

Ali McGuirk commands any room with her dynamic voice and heartfelt songwriting.

Her debut album, Slow Burn, released November 2017, featured her band whose members have worked and toured alongside D'angelo, Chaka Khan, Marcus King and more. Slow Burn was described as “wistful yet liberating; raw yet still devastatingly beautiful” (Candace McDuffie, Vanyaland).

Whether capturing hearts on tour alone with her electric guitar, leading her virtuosic band or finding inspiration through unexpected collaborations, Ali has the rare ability to silence a room with just the few words of a song.
