I hope everyone had a safe Christmas and memorable New Year's Eve! We at the Home Grown Music Network are psyched to start the new year bringing more innovative music to you than ever. A whole new round of phenomenal bands will be joining the Network in the coming months, so keep an eye on www.HomeGrownMusic.net and find out about these new bands first! On that note, we would like to welcome the last new Home Grown member of the millennium into the network. OM is a San Francisco-based trio that welcomes diversity in every aspect. Composed of keyboards, bass, and drums, this band can do it all, from filthy late-night sweat-drenched dance jams to restrained and composed jazz. This quality has helped them earn a solid reputation on the west coast, as they play piano jazz for more upscale venues, and still lay down that groove for the nightclub scene. This diversity has fused both styles into one irresistable sound. Check out their page in our store for CDs, tour dates, and more! New additions to the Kind Music Catalog: Moon Boot Lover - "Back on Earth" CD - The most appropriately titled album of the decade! After a near five-year absence, maniacal frontman Peter Prince is back with a new rhythm section and a searing new disc full of the oddball funk that he made famous! This band was one of the originators of the groove/funk rock sound. The songs chosen for the album capture the high octane rocket soul energy of the trio as well as their ability to creep into a tranquil ballad. Check out this trio's millennial offering! $12.00 Jamie Janover and Michael Masley - "All Strings Considered" CD - Two hammered dulcimer innovators combine forces! Jamie Janover, veteran of hundreds of guest appearances with the likes of Phish, String Cheese Incident, and The Slip, possesses an uncanny musical intuition and the same goes for Michael Masley. Both are renowned for their original approach to their ancient instruments, and on this new CD, they take the instrument and the music itself to new peaks through fearless experimentation and seasoned ability. "I've never seen anything like it - amazing! A very great musician!" - Trey Anastasio, guitarist, Phish $14.00 Dexter Grove - Live Without a Crowd Volume 1 and 2 CDs - This "Acid-Folk" outfits treats you to a nice chunk of live recordings! Volume 1 was recorded November 14, 1999 at the Aggie Theater in Fort Collins, CO, and features moe. members Al Schnier and Jim Loughlin. Volume two is pure Dexter Grove, captured live July 23, 2000 at Canyon Recreation Hall in Yellowstone Park, WY. $12.00 each Might As Well....The Persuasions Sing the Grateful Dead CD - Exceedingly soulful! The most enduring a cappella group in America has produced an album of classic Dead tunes. Accentuated here and there by piano, mandolin, and other complementary instruments, the music on this disc is as timeless and American as it gets. It's just amazing! A must for fans of a cappella music and hardcore Deadheads! $17.00 Allgood - "Ride the Bee" CD - Groove rock originators! This disc, released in 1994, was extremely influential to a lot of fans and musicians! Their southern-battered rock and intense touring made them a favorite among jam-oriented music fans in the mid-1990's. $14.00 Look for new releases from moe., John Scofield, Umphrey's McGee, String Cheese Incident, Mecca Bodega, JGB, and more in the next few weeks! Buy the Pharmer's Almanac 6th Edition and help the HGMN! When you place an order for this atmospheric, lighthearted tome to Phish, you can mention code "HG" and the Pholks will send a portion of the proceeds our way and support one of the great organizations that help make our Kind scene what it is today! Check out https://www.brainlink.com/~apharmer/hgorders.html. Also be sure to check out The Phish Companion, which is full of the hardcore setlists, reviews, and facts.
