Lead track from “El Tecolote Sings Songs to the Night.” This EP is a brief but intense aural snapshot of the artist’s pandemically altered electric violin life—looped, layered, effect-ed, intimate, unadorned. Cover art Diane Benavides Rios.  Available exclusively here: https://davidstrother.bandcamp.com/releases

evs song

Track from new duo release with lap steel wizard Scot Ray. This album was improvised/composed live in the studio, 11.2.15.   Produced/engineered by Michael Gayle at Glynn Sound.  Buy it here!  https://www.amazon.com/Space-Yard-David-Strother-Scot/dp/B01EYR061M

"Both Ray and Strother sound like generous artists. This explains, at least partially, the “good vibes” feeling that permeates the entirety of Space Yard...The musicians soar and daydream...it's music that for it's large part smiles in beatitude, where technical bravura is still at the service of innocence." - Massimo Ricci, Italy
