Summer Dregs CD Release Party: November 7 @ CreateHere Monday, October 26, 2009
Carl Cadwell is a local musician and 2009 MakeWork grant recipient. His project, a collaborative album, debuts at CreateHere on November 7. He sent us this brief preview.
In 2007 Infradig—my previous band—was done.
Within a couple weeks of our last show I began working on tracks with no other desire than to fulfill my need to create. As I began to get lost in a noisy cloud of beats and melodies, I asked some friends to help me shape these masses into songs. Before I knew it we had a project—now called Summer Dregs—which involved some of Chattanooga’s best musicians, artists and designers. What we shaped, with the help of CreateHere’s MakeWork grant, is an album called From Gold to Green. The album is community music, it’s Chattanooga music and, most importantly, it’s really really good music.
On November 7, from 8 to 10 pm at CreateHere, this long work of many hands will come to fruition. We’re going to celebrate in full force. There will be music from Charles Allison, Reeve Hunter and a large Chattanooga collective playing Summer Dregs songs. There will also be art and an installation from Cat Collier and Sarah Nichols. And beer.
