Rustic Overtones brought a string quartet to the Franco Center in Lewiston on November 23, 2013. Four separate audio recordings were made of this show (soundboard and ambient room sound), and the show was shot using 8 HD video cameras. While we'll be spending the next few weeks putting it all together, here's a track ("Like the Blues" from Rustic's 2009 album "New Way Out") to tease you a bit until then.

This is a room recording -- when combined later with the board recording and other room recordings, the result will be CD quality sound. For now it sounds like a bootleg recording, which it essentially is except that it was recorded with the band's blessing.

Like The Blues
