Mark Romanowski/Joel Shotwell 3X Album Release

Mark Romanowski and Joel Shotwell have completed 3 new albums of original music featuring dozens of musicians from the area and all over the country. This night will feature many songs from all three of those albums, and will also include many of the musicians who played on them. The three albums are very different stylistically. Joel Shotwell’s newest album could be described as a fusion of jazz, classical, rock and anything else and also features poetry and singing at times. Mark Romanowski’s Rose Quarter album could be compared to progressive rock giants such as Steely Dan, with lots of horns. The last album labeled “August Schuler” is a deep fake of songs written that were lost in time. Music meant for movies and TV shows from the 50s and 60s. It features lush arrangements that include lots of woodwinds and brash and percussion.
