“Get Your Phil” – 10 Favorite CDs of 2011 – From Ron Olesko WFDU Radio

From Ron Olesko and his show Traditions on WFDU radio in New Jersey:

I really enjoyed being on live New Year’s Day.  Today’s show included a
review of my favorite 10 CD’s of 2011 – and if you are a math major you will
notice there are 12 choices.  I could say it was a holiday special, but in
reality I thought there were too many exceptional CD’s released during the
past 12 months, and with a genre as diverse as “folk music”, I felt I needed
at least 2 more to help represent the great music we were treated to in
2011.

Here are my choices, in alphabetical order (based on first name):

ARI & MIA    “Unruly Hearts”
BEARFOOT    “American Story”
BROTHER SUN    “Brother Sun”
DAVID WAX MUSEUM    “Everything is Saved”
DISAPPEAR FEAR    “Get Your Phil”
GILLIAN WELCH    “The Harrow & The Harvest”
JOE CROOKSTON    “Darking & The Blue Bird Jubilee”
JOEL MABUS    “American Anonymous”
JOHN MCCUTCHEON    “This Land: Woody Guthrie’s America”
ONCE    “Row Upon Row of the People They Know”
RED MOLLY    “Light in the Sky”
SPUYTEN DUYVIL    “New Amsterdam”

Again, no particular order – I do not believe in the word “best” in terms of
these type of lists.  These are CD’s that were my favorites of 2011, and
there were several others that almost made the list.   I chose these because
of their personal appeal, and I felt they represent the diversity of our
genre and the great art that was produced in 2011.

finding peace

Word Out:

so…looking back it was an 11 year.

my first tour in Ireland fun times with Jukebox Gypsy from Liverpool

my first real tour in Germany

headlining at the Copenhagen Songwriter Festival

really proud of my nephews: Jason for coming home with honors from

a dangerous tour in Afghanistan, Christopher surviving a bullet in Iraq.

Zachary for his first girlfriend and Dylan for graduating high school with honors getting into the film program at USC and making some cool shorts with my tunes.

it was wonderful mostly to make the Phil Ochs CD with Cindy…toping the FOLK CHART at #2 just under Gillian Welsh but Cindy’s her marriage went chapter 11 at the love bank now the dust is settling - we just need some lemon pledge -

So to celebrate the new year will be the new Sam Weiser CD releasing on January 10, 2012 which i produced and then  i am back in the studio to produce a CD for the New Jersey duo Virago. I will be back in Holland and Germany in late March and early April then to upstate New York with the Sonny Ochs Troupe doing the songs of Phil Ochs. In February and on International Disappear Fear Day February 18  i will do a short tour with the disappear fear band of Susan Charnley on bass, Cyndi Fink on electric lead guitar and Debbie Flood on drums we will perform DC, Richmond and Easton MD. The summer is still brewing-  so- here’s to 2012

enjoying wonderful champagne with friends and finding reasons to live into John Lennon’s words of Imagine.

peace everybody-   love, sonia

ps: January  see you in L.A. at the NAMM convention

and then i am off to Tahiti for my honeymoon  (yeah!)

SONiA goes 80s with Exibit A

There was a time when John Waters used to hang out at Club Charles, before Homicide and the Wire, when the Inner Harbor was being restored and before the days of disappear fear.  SONiA was part of an all girl power trio’ “Exibit A”.  Now for the first time SONiA has made those recordings available. From 1984 to 1987 Exibit A toured around DC Baltimore and NYC playing at the famous Marble Bar and Galaxy Ballroom,Maryland State Fairs,  Baltimore City Fairs, Hammerjacks, 8×10, 930 CLUB etc. These songs were recorded in the mid to late 80s, with Janet Guerra on drums, Diane Bowman on bass guitar and SONiA on lead vocals and guitar. They are also joined on a couple of songs by Donna Katrinic on keyboards.  All the songs were penned by SONiA.
