“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.

Society Of Broken Souls “Trouble You No More”, 10/3/21 Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA

Society of Broken Souls is the Folk Noir songwriting duo of multi-instrumentalists Dennis James and Lauryn Shapter (that’s mostly swiped from their web site). They’re from Fairfield, Iowa.
Shapter specifically asked me not to upload the night to Archive.org, based on her dissatisfaction with parts of the three sets due to the condition of her voice and a couple of missed chords. I argued valiantly that nobody would ever hear the chords (wherever they were) but until I convince her otherwise (evil grin), that’s the way it is.

She DID however acquiesce to my pleading for permission to just post a song or two on my own site, so we’ve selected the opening number, which we’d like to turn into a regular practice around here for the Pomeroy shows. This is a particularly appropriate day to do that since Facebook has been down for hours now.
