#CoverClub is a special brand of covers featuing Philly; old school Philly, current Philly, anything Philly related!

The Nomad Recording Studio 2.0 series proudly includes Dominic Angelella, The Bernhardt Family Band, Up The Chain, and Sean Hoots

#CoverClub started as an off-shoot of the Root Down In The Shadow series #PhillyPresents, where Philly local bands introduced fans to another band they enjoyed! In the following months, we took bands up on the suggestion of doing covers.

Each band recorded a Philly-centric cover and an original tune. Many, done in one take, turned out fabulously. The audio by Nomad Recording Studio head audio engineer Rob Swift and assistant Tom Williamson was so much fun to record, it had to be shared!

Not only are we a fan of Philly bands but we love finding great sessions and great bars.  Church of Kong is a session run by Dan B of TJ Kong and the Atomic Bomb.  Held previously at Nodding Heads a wonderful micro-brew, it's a great way to start your month and morning on the first Sunday of every month. (stay tuned for a new location as Nodding Heads has closed)

The Kettle Pot Tracks #CoverClub Collaboration was born out of a session Kettle Pot Tracks was doing for Small Houses.  Before they finished recording/filming their session, they had called me to see if we were interested in having Small Houses for our cover series.  Having become a big fan after a Sofar Sounds: Philadelphia house concert, it was a no-brainer.
