Late last year, Matt Smith's Hi/Lo Recording Studio in Eden, NY hosted a stripped-down performance from Micah Schnabel, member of Columbus' Two Cow Garage. Schnabel and his band were a Mohawk Place Staple over the last decade, and in fact, were the only non-local act to be a part of the venue's Last Waltz back in Jan of 2013. Opening for Schnabel that evening was Roger Bryan, local singer/songwriter and band leader of the Orphans, along with his band mate and former Mohawk Place bar manager/curmudgeon Erik Roesser.
Just today, Bryan released the 7-song performance, which includes a selection from Bryan and Roesser's old band The Old Sweethearts, via the band's bandcamp page as a free download. While you are busy downloading, you can listen to "Thresher," a b-side from the Orphans most recent album 37, below.
