This year%rsquos Noise Pop festival featured a collaborative performance from two of our favorite artists: Thao and Mirah . That show happened to fall on a full moon, so it%rsquos no surprise that it went over so well! Not long after, the duo decided to pull together members of their respective bands for a summer tour as Thao and Mirah with The Most Of All . What a treat it was, to host them in Studio C for their final day of rehearsal before the big tour. We edited together our favorite parts of that magical afternoon for to present in this episode. We hope you enjoy.

This band is world class fresh! The California Honeydrops are the real deal: transforming any dull scene into a world class dance party. Lech Wierzynski leads a killer band that includes pianist Chris Burns, drummer Ben Malament, bass player Seth Ford-Young , and saxophonist Johnny Bones . Working on this episode was especially tough because none of us could stay seated during the editing/mixing.

Many of you already know how special a solo performance from Bart Davenport feels. When Bart told us he was bringing his band into the studio, we had no idea how lucky we were. Turns out - they'%rsquore amazing! Bart already has tons of style, and with the band, he steps it up so much more while still maintaining his intimate signature sound.

We%rsquore so excited to feature Ramon & Jessica . This power duo is comprised of two incredibly eclectic bay area natives. Ramon performs with so many great local bands it%rsquos hard to keep straight, while the %uumlber talented Jessica can be harder to spot than a mountain lion. Fortunately these two come together quite often to create music and we were there to capture one of wonderful these occasions.

Emily Ritz and Honeycomb are one of our favorite new bands in the San Francisco music scene. Miss Ritz, a self taught musician, brings a unique finger style and odd meters to her ukulele playing. In less than a year, Honeycomb has become a true collaboration, now living together in their outer mission hive. Look out for performances from several familiar Chasing The Moon alumni: including Andrew Maguire%rsquos fierce percussion playing, and Kacey Johansing%rsquos sweet vocals tempering Emily%rsquos feral lead.

The Nice Guy Trio is Darren Johnston on trumpet, Rob Reich on accordion, and Daniel Fabricant on bass; three of the finest improvisational ensemble players in the San Francisco area. Fusing elements of blues, calypso, country and much more, the trio play out brilliant arrangements of both original compositions and modern classics. The result: music that is simultaneously accessible, fun and beautiful, yet undoubtedly virtuosic.

Although she was raised in Atlanta, Kelly McFarling seems right at home here in San Francisco. Her voice is powerful enough to fill a concert hall, but her music seems equally suited to porches and living rooms. After teaching herself to play banjo, Kelly began writing songs and formed a band with bass player Jonathan Kirchner and guitarist Jon Moldover . We hope you enjoy listening to this performance as much as we do.

Kacey Johansing has had an important influence on the vision and direction of Chasing The Moon since it was barely an idea, so it's only fitting to begin our second season with her lovely music! She put together an incredible crew of musicians for this performance, including Emily Ritz improvising a dazzling light show on the overhead projector.

We couldn%rsquot believe our luck when Chris Seibert first proposed the idea of bringing in Lavay Smith & her Red Hot Skillet Lickers . It%rsquos only once in a blue moon that you get to have one of the top voices in jazz & blues come record at your studio! Lavay brought in a all star cast of bay area musicians including some serious horn players (listen to Mike Olmos%rsquo fantastic trumpet solos). We%rsquore excited wrap up our first season with this great band of bay area legends, and we look forward to what%rsquos in store for the new year!

When Slow Motion Cowboys began warming up this recording session, everyone on our crew paused for a moment to absorb their terrific sounds. A San Francisco native, Pete Fields is supported by Dan Massie and the ubiquitous Joe Lewis (who runs one of SF%rsquos finer music venues: Blue Six ). So ride off into the sunset with us, ever so slowly.

John Vanderslice hardly needs an introduction. For the past ten years he%rsquos been more influential in building the San Francisco music community than perhaps anybody else. His music is loved around the world, and his recording studio, Tiny Telephone , continues to be the spot for independent bands to record some of the best records of the past decade. We%rsquore so honored to feature him, along with Jamie Riotto on bass, for the latest episode of Chasing The Moon.

Sonny & The Sunsets
03/19/11

This isn’t Sonny Smith’s first trip to the rodeo. For years, many locals have loved his clever song writing and goofy stage persona. Somehow, after completing his ambitious “ 100 Records ” project, Sonny still had the creative stamina to form his awesome new band: The Sunsets . They have been taking their sweet, sweet California-style jams around the world ever since. The songs featured today are from their new album “ Hit After Hit ”, and the record title could‘t be more spot on.
