Jeremy Ober “Sugar Magnolia” 2/11/22 Byron’s Bar

Jeremy Ober

So, if you’re me, and it’s Byron’s, and a performer does a Grateful Dead song, I promise to pay attention and also probably be critical.

Here’s Jeremy Ober doing “Sugar Magnolia”:

Sugar Magnolia

So, here goes: at the end-ish part of that song, the lyric is “sunshine daydream” (which eventually almost morphed into a song of its own), not “sunlight daydream”.

Other than that, I liked it. And I only criticize with love respect and hopefully useful understanding.

Grateful Dead SYF Mini 1

Jeremy Ober featuring Karsyn Steib “Rolling In The Deep” 2/11/22 Byron’s Bar

The occasion was Byron and Ed’s birthdays, Jeremy Ober played, and Karsyn Steib sang two numbers (and blew the socks off my recorder a little bit). This is the first:

“Ripple” 12/19/21 Luke Hendrickson & Jeremy Jewell, Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA

Luke Hendrickson and Jeremy Jewell of Rochester, Minnesota, performed at the crown jewel of Iowa listening rooms, Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA December 19, 2021. Both do original material, but due to the nature of the venue, we have selected a cover to share here: Ripple by Robert Hunter (1970). Format for the evening was “song-pong” with the artists alternating songs; Jewel leads on this one but both play and Hendrickson harmonizes a little. Full show will be up soon at our library at Internet Archive and will do justice to their individual writing skills.

Recording Notes: Zoom H2n in the “usual place” maybe 5′ from the stack, maybe 5′ high, gain set to 3, mics spread to -1, recorded as .wav but converted here for Internet use via Emastered.com, where we added just a snitch of stereo spread, added some lows and mids, additional mastering with Audacity for the fade and labels, and just a touch of reverb. Internet Archive files are .WAV, unaltered.
