Harp in LA Feature

Two photos and a quote of mine were recently featured in the Harp in LA blog. The article was all about the American Harp Society Conference in NYC last month and featured a short section about double-breasted’s performance.

Read the article here.

PS – The photos featured in the article were taken with my iPhone 4S, manipulated with Instagram, and are featured on my Tumblr.

Reviews for Suit Yourself

d-b Suit Yourself

double-breasted’s latest record, Suit Yourself, was released on February 11th. Since its release, we’ve had the good fortune of receiving some great reviews. I’ve shared some of them below.

Music Connection Magazine
“This classy trio’s three dimensions make for a smooth, engaging listen.”

“If I were a rich man, this is the kind of band that I would patronize like the kings of old. Rating 9/10.”

Jersey Beat
“Deeply atmospheric and richly evocative”

NJ’s Star Ledger
“Bearing a drum kit, a harp and a cello and wearing threads that look more appropriate for a conservatory than a bar, the three members of New Jersey chamber-pop group double-breasted make a striking first impression.”

Can I ask a favor?
If you’ve enjoyed the record, could you quickly click over to iTunes to give it a star rating and a short review? It doesn’t have to be lengthy… something like “This is great!” works really well and helps increase visibility in the store.

Thanks!

Press for Holiday Sparkle

Many thanks to John Pfeiffer and The Aquarian for a generous feature on double-breasted and our new song “Holiday Sparkle” this week.

Here’s one paragraph from the article:

The song is called “Holiday Sparkle” and is available on both iTunes and CDBaby. They call this song a “mood lightener,” specifically aimed at easing tensions and tirades at the ole’ family holiday get-together. What better way to shut that loud, opinionated trap on Uncle Nick than by playing music that distracts the curmudgeon and improves the room’s overall mood? Double Breasted is an educated trio that met while earning degrees in music at The College of New Jersey. They’ve managed to blend their classical backgrounds with current pop and alt-styled rock trends of today.
