Before forming the band Darrington, I recorded a CD in 1995 with the help of some of my favorite musicians in the Bay Area: Austin Willacy, Andrew DuBrock, Box Set, Patchwork, Will Johnson (Meriwether), Kevin Harris, Mark Love, Carin Anderson, Chris Weipert, Cathrael Hackler, Rob Powell, Mario Desio and Matt Reimer.
These songs were recorded mostly at Kevin Harris' studio in Hercules (Harwood Productions) and at Polk Street Studios by Mark Love. The musicians were folks I met while playing open mics at The Owl & Monkey Cafe, a fantastic little hole in the wall that closed in 1996. Back in the day, you could hear Train playing as an acoustic trio with Pat on a modified bongo drum kit of some kind. This was the kind of inclusive place that really welcomed in people of all levels of experience. An amazing place, really, and much missed.
If you like these tunes, you might want to check out the group I formed after this, in 2002, called Darrington (www.cdbaby.com/cd/darrington)
Thanks for listening!

One of my ten Desert Island discs
author: Wes Carroll
This masterwork doesn't get its due. Without a heavy-duty promotion machine behind it, this independent release is known only to a handful of SF Bay Area fans and our friends and families across the country. Solid songcraft throughout brings to life Pearce's poignant insights on relationships both good and bad, the places life takes us, and the funny way memory reinvents our past, without once drifting into cliche.
Andy's voice is rich and inviting, yet vulnerable, and his supporting cast of musicians makes the album feel as though it were recorded at a party attended by the best of the best, just there to have a good time and play their hearts out.
I've probably listened to this CD twenty times since its release. Of the ten CDs I would take with me were I to be stranded on a desert island, The Scattering Blue would make the cut.
Buy it now.
