Starting Over (Chris Stapleton)

"You don't sound like anyone else," said Danny Thompson - renowned bass player for Nick Drake and Joe Strummer - about English musician Conil.

The GRAMMY-winning engineer for Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, Tchad Blake said: "Strange Part of the Country is an awesome album! I still listen to it."

Fleetwood Mac legend Peter Green liked Conil's music so much he stopped by Conil’s house to record with him. They recorded a version of Conil's homage to the jazz greats "Round Midnight". 

Strange Part of the Country never conformed to any current trends and has remained timeless. Now, people are discovering this album and it is becoming an all-time favourite. 

When the album was released in the UK, it received some amazing press. Britain's biggest selling music monthly Q magazine gave it: "Four stars - Q Recommends". Blues Matters magazine wrote: "One of the most original artists out there". In the next issue, Blues Matters put him on the front cover.

Conil left London after Strange Part of the Country was released and has spent the last ten years living in the United States and Europe - including New Orleans, New York City, and Berlin.

Welcome to 315archive! My name is Chris Fisher. Back in 2017 I started field recording a local band called The Black River (Mike Powell’s side project from his solo career). 
I started this page so that I would have a streaming platform to play the shows and could share them with my local live music friends. It was “Fish’s Picks” then. I recently changed the name to 315archive. 
Long story short, I started asking other local bands in the 315 area code if I could record and post their shows. Needless to say, I now record and archive close to a dozen bands and their various side projects that include Mike Powell and The Echosound & his duo/solo projects, Count Blastula, The Rollin’ Rust, Grupo Pagan, Harmonic Dirt, Brian Thomas & The Strikes, The Old Main, Seth Becker, Nash Robb, Root Shock, Mark Nanni, Colin Aberdeen and various other bands and artists whenever they hit the 315. 
My love for local live music has turned into something cool. Enjoy!!!!
