These two songs are my winning submission to the 2007 Jazz/Blues Guitar Night. 'Cherry Red Wine' is one of my favorite blues classics by Luther Allison and 'T-Bone Shuffle' by T-Bone Walker is always a great tune to jam on. The session happened on very short notice and what you hear here is the second of two takes that we did of each song. Here's the lineup:

Ivan Chopik - Guitar/Vocals
Dane Farnsworth - Organ
Marcel Hamel - Bass
Chris Carlson - Drums

Press release for the show:

"Guitar Night Student Showcase Concert: Jazz and Blues

September 26, 2007, marked the fourth commemoration of the passing of genius musician Shawn Lane. As a tribute, I decided to record my favorite composition of his - 'Epilogue for Lisa.' This is a live duo performance with myself playing the guitar and my friend Dane Farnsworth accompanying me on the piano. R.I.P. Shawn - Your music lives on.

This EP is a writing collaboration between myself and my friends Sarah Noe and Will Snyder. We recorded this EP at the PostFuturism Labs Studio (Formerly Waltz Audio) in Boston, MA in Spring 2007. The project was produced by myself and Will Snyder and mixed by Chris Rude in Los Angeles, CA. In contrast to my previous compositions and recordings, this EP has a much more mainstream-rock/pop feel to it. Here's the line-up:

Sarah Noe - Vocals
Ivan Chopik - Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar
Will Snyder - Rhythm & Acoustic Guitar (Tracks 2, 3)
Ben Backus - Bass
Dave Vanderlinde - Drums
