Angela Sclafani Devises and Thoughtful Meet Cute in “How We Meet”

New York City based singer-songwriter, Angela Sclafani, is moving towards the release of her first full-length album, SONGS OF OTHER SELVES, with the leading roadmap single “How We Meet”. Described as a “sonic journey through the playful world of her inner child and past personas”, this first single feels like an introduction to the mind of a New York theatre kid preparing for an expansive musical ride that doubles as a character study.

Unsurprisingly, the composition and melodies of the song are sweet and graceful as gentle guitar strums and light drumming set the stage for fantastically stacked harmonies. The folk feel that Sclafani manifests gives a distinctly small-town Americana feel, like this could be a meet cute between her and the listener. The “we” of the song’s title and chorus feels warm, inclusive, and invitational.

We will have to wait to learn more about the various characters that Sclafani will bring to the forefront of this album, but as a theater-maker and performer she brings a different kind of personality out of the lyrics that feels transformational and ready to share something new with each song.

If this is how we meet, who knows where this newfound relationship will take us? But Sclafani’s dynamic nature as an artist will, no doubt, waver wonderfully from the mundane and the magical and everything in between.

“How We Meet” is available on major streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. Find this and more excellent music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture playlist on Spotify

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
