Interview with Dave hamilton of 56 Hope Road

Clara Rose — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:29:05 -0400

Known for their clever songwriting, lush vocal harmonies and one of the tightest rhythem sections on the scene, 56 Hope Road travels around the country in a 1988 Fleetwood RV, sharing their message of optimism and an organic blend of rock and soul with fans of all ages. Bonded like a family, the music has an unmistakable honesty and openness. They allow the joy of spontaneous creativity to color their song-based arrangements - neither losing their musical center, nor restricting its growth. With a blend of acoustic songwriting, funk, jazz and improvisation, this music is acoustic funk at its finest!

Interview with Eric Noble: If You Build It, They Will Come

Clara Rose — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 14:48:29 -0500

In a musical world increasingly beset by big business, big contracts and gloss, Eric Noble remains a simple man with an even simpler mission: spreading exceptional sounds, one concert at a time. His main partner in the journey is Loyal Family, a St. Louis-based independent promotions company focused on the jam, roots music and festival scene. Along with the sister enterprise Noble Empire, they are burning a trail through not only the Midwest’s vast grassroots network, but increasingly capturing a national spotlight as well. Their biggest venture to date is Dogstock, a four-day, 100-band, multiple-stage campout extravaganza happening in Melvern, Kansas July 26-29, on 81 acres of pristine, private land. A majestic “little guy” amongst festival-world behemoths, Dogstock’s aim is to emit the same down-home, get-funky, say-hello-to-your-friends vibrations that each of Noble’s local shows puts forth – with the added benefit of halting time, if even for just a few days.
