Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. The band succeeds in doing just that and in creating a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds on their newest release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman.
  “For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett. “I wanted to examine my life and the lives of my family and friends and do it with a little bit of a wink. The last thing I wanted to do was get all dark and overwrought.”
  Stephen Kellogg & the Sixers is Massachusetts quartet made up of two distinct parts. In one corner stands the unmistakably jubilant personality of rock-n-roll’s the Sixers; in the other sits an authentic American songwriter in a period of profound growth. Rising Triumphantly in the center is a band whose music is the perfect marriage of the two.
  The Bear is their rawest and most collaborative album yet. With alternating tracks between producers Tom Schick and Sam Kassirer, the album was recorded in an apartment studio in NYC and a house in Maine. The duality of these settings fits perfectly with Kellogg’s description of his family upbringing as, “aristocrats and farmers” and the musical diet he was raised on, a strange bedfellow mix of his dad’s 70’s records and his sister’s taking him to 80’s metal concerts.
  We’re happy to welcome this fantastic tour to State College!
