专辑简介

DARK & STORMY are Rick Demers of Norton, MA and Joel Greene of Bristol, RI. They have been performing as a duo in the Southern New England area for the past ten years. Be it Newport in the summer or Taunton in the winter you'll find them switching musical gears, as they love playing Celtic, folk, blues, tasteful pop and rock covers, as well as their own compositions. Their first C.D. "truth be told" which Teresa Storch of CDFreedom.com likened it to "time well spent in a mellow honky tonk dive…" featured Joel playing violin, mandolin, and electric guitar accompanied by Rick on acoustic guitar and harmonica. The new CD, "Along the Way," produced by Jack Gauthier, of Lakewest Studio, has more of the same, and then some, as they include the seasoned rhythm section of Marty Ballou and Marty Richards who add the desired punch on ten new original songs and two D&S favorite covers. No doubt the "Marty's" who have backed the likes of John Hammond Jr, Duke Robillard, and Peter Malick, to name a few, were 'instrumental' in bringing the songs to another level. For more information visit the Dark & Stormy web site (www.darkandstormymusic.com) for schedules, bookings and CD availability. They are members of the Rhode Island Songwriters Association and booking is as simple as contacting Rick at darkandstormy@comcast.net

* Rick also spends a good amount of time in the St Petersburg FL area performing as a solo artist
