This will be our last episode from the ToneFest earlier this year.   Thanks again to everyone who participated. It ended up being a great way to spend an afternoon. I want to thank our sponsors again for making it possible.  Thank you to Fuchs Audio for donating several of their pedals to support the backing band and Two Rock for sending several of their amps for our players to demo.  It is obvious these companies are not only committed to quality, they are truly committed to the very foundation of the musical community.   I wanted to conclude our ToneFest series with another extemporaneous session featuring the musicians from the previous episode. Take a listen as a group of strangers continue to find common ground. 

Again, a 62 concert and a Plush FX Drive and Cream through a Two-Rock Classic Reverb.

Here at TheToneCast.com we spend our time celebrating the creative and passionate minds that continue to redefine the frontiers of tone.  That being said, I don’t want to lose sight of why we all do it.  As the media continues to remind us what is wrong in the world, it seems that finding what is right becomes more and more difficult.  Taking liberty on a soap box for a second I will point out that as musicians it might be easier for us to discover that elusive space where the tides of all that is wrong begin to recede. As musicians I hope we can help those that listen to us find that same place.  At this year’s tonefest we stumbled across it in the middle of a classic…..

Take a listen to a guitarist from Chile, a bassist who has fled political unrest in Venezuela, a sax player from Austin, a drummer from Buffalo, and a guitarist and keyboardist from right here in CO show exactly what is right in the world. Most of these guys just met; it is clear they all speak the same language.   

In case you were wondering, the clean guitar was the cleanest 62 concert I have ever seen, and the dirty guitar was a either a Plush FX Cream or Plush Drive.
