OCTA 18th Anniversary – Guy Capecelatro III

The day 3 of the anniversary festival starts in Portsmouth, New Hampshire with a profoundly moving performance by Guy Capecelatro III and Jocelyn MacKenzie. I’m grateful for his kind words, because I have the utmost respect for him. I love his own records and the work he does with the Burst & Bloom Records. Plus I just really like his taste in music and will listen anything he recommends. I’m honored to share this powerful new Guy Capecelatro III song With Me. There’s so much hurt here, but there’s also unlimited love and gratitude of the moments spent together shining in each word and each note. I think this one is unreleased at this point, but you’ll find a lot of his recorded catalogue from the Burst & Bloom Records.

OCTA 18th Anniversary – Myriam Gendron

Traveling back to Montreal to end the day two of the festival with Myriam Gendron. She has been making softly mesmerizing musical renditions of Dorothy Parker’s poems. Mama Bird Recording Co and Feeding Tube Records co-released her quietly brilliant album Not So Deep as a Well back in 2014 and it’s an album that I love dearly. Myriam Gendron’s song for this event is a beautiful musical version of Dorothy Parker’s poem Epitaph for a Darling Lady. You can listen to / buy her album on the Mama Bird Recording Co’s Bandcamp. That’s it for tonight. See you here again tomorrow at 7pm (noon EST).

OCTA 18th Anniversary – Matt Harlan

Next we meet up with Matt Harlan presumably on his backyard somewhere in Houston, Texas. Matt is a great singer-songwriter who just released his new album Best Beasts in July 2019 and will play for us the title track of this beautiful record. Pay attention to his t-shirt too, because there’s some of the best life advice anyone can ever give you. I highly recommend listening to that new album, because it has a good heart and contains powerful songwriting. You’ll find it by hitting that bandcamp link below.
