We recently went to Folktowne Studio to do a live session with studio owner, engineer, musician, all round nice guy, Steven Courtney. This is a song called “No one here (Quite like you)”. If you’re in the area, check us out tomorrow night at Quip’s pub with the talented Mike McMonagle.

Stinging Nettles last show!

A.J. — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:37:46 +0000

After years of kicking out the jams at face-melting shows in Lancaster and beyond, the Stinging Nettles are hanging up our clogs and slipping out of our lederhosen into something a little less comfortable – boredom and apathy. Soon we’ll be sleeping on your couch for weeks on end, drinking all your soda pop, and leaving kernels of popcorn in the pizza box that is your living room. We’ll go on all your dates as an awkward third wheel, plague your Facebook page with song lyrics, and leave you long messages about how you should have stayed with that girlfriend you had in college (the one that looked like Tori Amos).

But before all that happens, we’ll be playing one last show at Quip’s Pub on October 30th. It’s a Halloween show, so be sure to dress up!

Back from Tour

A.J. — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 16:48:01 +0000

Hey all, The Joe Jack Talcum Powder Trio (JJTPT – TCB) has returned from our mine-tour of the south. We had a great time! Thanks to all the fans and friends we met along the way. Be sure to check out our touring buddies The Bastards of Fate. They are awesomer than Don Henley, Pat Morita, and Jay Leno rolled into one. I will happily be doing a few more shows with Joe throughout the year including on this fall at the Dogfish Head Brewery in Rehoboth, DE on October 29th.

Philly tonight

A.J. — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 14:07:21 +0000

Right Coast Recording

Thanks to Bobby, Tom, and Darry for having me over to Right Coast Recording to hang out, geek out on gear, and sit in on a session. What a great room. Killer gear, great people, and great sounds. Good things are happening over there and I’m sure I’ll be back to do some tracking myself. Be sure to check them out at www.rightcoastrecording.com.

In the studio with Jack Dillman

A.J. — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 21:37:13 +0000

After a few years of talking about it and trying to make out schedules work, I’m finally getting down to the business of making the first Jack Dillman studio record. Jack is a staple in the Lancaster music scene, a talented songwriter, and a good friend. We did some pre-production work over the weekend and we’ll be slowly selecting and refining the songs for the album and getting everyone on board for the recording sessions. More to come. We’ll keep ya posted.

Long overdue update

A.J. — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:28:14 +0000

Some good things happening. Joe Jack Talcum’s album “Live in the Studio” is out now.

Stinging Nettles have added a new guitar player and things are sounding groovy. Studio is in a transitional stage but I think some good things are coming ahead.

Download audio file (OceanNose.mp3)

Stinging Nettles is a fuzz-folk/indie trio based in Lancaster PA featuring the songs of John Huebner. The record was recorded and mixed by me here in my studio and mastered by Garrett Haines at Treelady Mastering.

We are mighty proud of this album. (I play bass in the band as well) I hope you can check it out for yourself, pick up a copy, and support independent music!

Here’s one of the first reviews of the record from The Sentinel in Cumberland County, PA
