This just in from Dennis Young:
Shadow CD Release Party
Live in Concert at the Bowery Poetry Club
On Thursday, December 7, 2006 at 10pm, Dennis Young will celebrate the release of his new cd Shadow at the Bowery Poetry Club, 308 Bowery St New York, NY 10012, tel. 212 614 0505. Shadow is the new 13 song recording by Songwriter, Guitarist, and Percussionist, Dennis Young. Young, primarily known as a founding member of the seminal, underground NYC 80’s dance band Liquid Liquid, moves his music to another place with the release of Shadow. While Young plays percussion on the new songs, all 13 songs are built around Young’s acoustic guitar & vocals.
Young’s moody vocals and percussive guitar attack give the songs a dark rustic quality. The addition of accordion, dulcimer, violin, bass & electric guitars, & percussion instruments enhance the arrangements. “Dennis came in wanting to do a demo on guitar and vocals. A year and half later, we had a full blown album with an amazing group of musicians all contributing to the mood of the songs,” said Tom DeStefano, Shadow co-producer and owner of FireDog studios in Spotswood, NJ where the album was made. “The recording grew organically, as we began to build the songs, musicians would appear,” said Young.
Special guest musicians on the recording include the famed Swiss folk rock artist Stephan Eicher, JoAnna Ferrar, a Julliard trained violinist & Salvatore Principato former lead singer of Liquid Liquid. Tom DeStafano and Kevin Booth produced the record at there studio; Firedog Studios is located in Spotswood, New Jersey.
Since his days with Liquid Liquid, Dennis Young has recorded a number of solo records and has added his signature percussion style to many dance records. He continues to explore new ways of writing & performing music.
Besides this, Dennis will be making a guest appearance with Hot Chip at their Nov. 2 CMJ show at Webster Hall here in NYC.
