Gilded Palace Radio Show (27th Jan 2014)

Somebody poisoned the waterhole! The new Gilded Palace Radio Show is up with a little protest thrown in for our West Virginian friends. Can somebody explain why there's been hardly any media coverage? Shocking! Maybe it's a good day to get political... just make sure you've got a good attorney (we have: see Track 26).  

The early rush of great releases continues - this week we can add The New Mendicants (Joe Pernice, Norman Blake and Mike Belitsky (The Sadies) as well as Doug Paisley's third (with guest spots from Garth Hudson and Mary Margaret O'Hara) to the 'potential end-of-year contenders' pile.

Gilded Palace Radio Show (March 25th 2013) - Session with Dave Harding (Richmond Fontaine)

It can’t be easy making your way as a songwriter, let alone striking out after a successful stint as a ‘mere’ musician in a band. So, I guess you’d have nothing to lose by compounding the above and moving five thousand miles to start a life in a new country. Dave Harding would know… he’s done just that.

Best known as the bass player and founding member of Richmond Fontaine, Dave has just released his second solo album, You Came Through (on Fontaine imprint, El Cortez). A few months before its release, he also upped sticks from the band’s adopted home of Portland, Oregon, and headed for Denmark with his (Danish) wife and infant son.

Dave has just topped up his English, though, with a short tour of the UK. Dates were booked for the most part through a network of Fontaine fans who have become friends – thanks to the band being just as happy (happier?) to share a beer with fans at the venue bar as to stand on stage and perform a set.

Although there was no Brighton date (this time) I was delighted that Dave made time to visit and record a session and interview for the Gilded Palace Radio Show – and, of course, share a glass or two afterwards! Highlight of the session for me was a gorgeous rendition of Shores Of Cornwall from the album (a song on which Dave doesn't sing on the record, but pulls off brilliantly in the studio).
Three songs are played live and one more selected from the album. Dave also chose a few songs for the playlist from bands with whom he and the Richmond Fontaine guys have become good friends. I am sure I’m not the only person grateful to them for introducing me to Grand Champeen (Fontaine have been their greatest ambassadors over here, as well as covering the GC song ‘Broken Records’ in their set). In addition to Grand Champeen, we’re treated to Stiv Canterelli, Dolorean and Peter Bruntnell. OK, most of them may not be unusual on a GP playlist ;-) 


You can pick up You Came Through via Dave’s Bandcamp page: http://daveharding.bandcamp.com/ and ‘befriend’ him on Facebook

Nyd showet! Dave’ll tell you what that means…
