Emmitt-Nershi Band

Scattered storms created problems for the traveling one day music festival known as Del Yeah! The night before the Rustle HIll Winery performance, Hurricane Isaac had reached St. Louis, MO and required the show to be rescheduled for

October 5. Guests will be treated by a special guest spot performance by Michael Kang. Music fans that traveled to the south-ern Illinois show were buzzing about the Emmitt-Nershi Band’s set featuring members of The Travelin’ Mc-Coury’s. Alan Bartram held down a piece of the rhythm section

during this hot set of bluegrass and hard-hitting folk music. The Emmitt-Nershi band is also comprised of three special musicians. Andy Thorn and Drew Emmitt perform with the legendary Colo-rado band known as Leftover Salmon. Billy Nershi continues to rock the stage with the String Cheese Incident.

On August 22, the members of Corn-meal recently an-nounced some big news in the band, and we have a piece of the an-nouncement to review and look back on.

Dear Fans,It is with a heavy heart that we are announc-ing the departure of 2 of our longtime band-mates. For personal and professional rea-sons both Kris and JP

Nowak have decided to leave the band after 8 years together. “We are writing to announce that we are leaving Cornmeal, our musical home for the last 8 and 9 years, respectively. We leave having ac-complished one of our lives’ shared missions, namely, to help make the world a better place by sharing our musi-cal talents with each of you,” Kris and JP. In this photo BRP discusses some of the band’s past mo-ments from around the country, and possible future plans for the two gentlemen. Cornmeal performed a late night set at Del Yeah! that follow The Del Mc-Coury Band on the main stage. Music was also going during the day inside the winery with Bawn in the Mash performing live.

Hurricane Isaac’s aftershock hit the small commu-nity of Carbondale, Ill during the 2nd An-nual Carbondale Rocks Revival event, but the musicians, crowd and organizers flourished in course of the wet conditions. The event started on Thursday, September 6 and con-cluded on Saturday,

September 8. Rusted Root per-formed the festival’s official kickoff show at the Rustle Hill Winery on Thursday evening. Heavy rain hit the winery just before the band was set to play on the outside stage. The remaining guests were treated to a steamy, in-timate set of music by Rusted Root. Browse

Drury took advantage of losing power at the Varsity Theatre by per-forming an acoustic set by candlelight. Eliza-beth Cook kept this going at the Hangar 9. County Graves, Soul Glo and DJ Nasty Nate stirred the audience at Tres Hombres and an eclectic mix of music carried throughout the city into the early morning hours. Curtis Conley helped organize the event with a dozen different venues in southern Illinois. Sat-urday’s music featured several performers and artists at the Makeshift Market Artisan Fair and Dayshift Acoustic Stage in downtown Carbondale. The Varsity The-atre stayed busy with performances by the Kevin Lucas Orches-tra, Bosco & White-ford, Hugh DeNeal and tons more music. The three day music event showcased the heart and soul of the current music scene in south-ern Illinois.

CARBONDALE -- Succulent folk/jazz music by the Sam West Trio filled Tres Hom-bres on Saturday, Sep-tember 15. West now resides in Nashville, TN with regular gigs across a diverse musi-cal landscape. He in-vited Ron Coulter and Andy Novara to a few southern Illinois gigs during his fall tour.

Novara plays the electric guitar in the group and deliv-ers a jazzy, folk fusion technique to the guitar that is reminiscent of Jerry Garcia’s work on “Shady Grove” with David Grisman. Coult-er is a renown drummer in southern Illinois, and was ready to return to the stage at Tres Hom-bres with new music

ready to debut. The band per-formed a set of modern folk music that West has been working on in Nashville, and will be ready for release in the next few months. Check out the web link for more information on the band. Web link:http://www.reverbnation.com/samwestmusic

St. Louis based jam/blues reggae rock-ers known as Aaron Kamm and the One Drops passed through the Hangar 9 to deliver a knockout performance. The One Drops have been picking up a heavy Midwest following dur-ing their short time as a band. Their distinct blend of reggae music gets the majority of the

crowd moving and danc-ing with ease. Kammbrieflysatdown in between sets at the Hangar 9 show and discussed his music and art.Duringthefirstsetthe band played ‘Morn-ing Sun’ and segued into ‘Sinsemilla’ with a huge section of material in be-tween the songs. In be-tween sets I talked with Kamm and Sean Raila

on drums about the track. They both laughed, and said that material wasn’t a complete song, but could be titled ‘Sinse’ and is available to stream online via the Crescent Vale YouTube Channel.
