Episode 3: Rachel Junior and Helen Dana La Fleur (Old Time and Bluegrass Vocal Duets)

Cameron DeWhitt — Wed, 20 Jul 2016 00:00:00 -0700

Welcome to episode 3 of Get Up in the Cool! This week’s episode features Rachel Junior and Helen Dana La Fleur of Sick Sad & Lonesome. Their specialty is Old time and Bluegrass vocal duets! This one’s chock full of purdy singin’. Here’s how great this episode is: I actually enjoyed editing this! Audio editing is usually a grueling, tedious task, but this time, it was delightful.

We recorded this at the Harry Smith Frolic, under my easy-up canopy, in the woods, next to a river. sigh it was perfect. And it pleases me to think of you all gleaning some of that perfection through the binary code, on your commute.

Make sure to check out Rachel and Helen with Sick Sad & Lonesome at the Cantab Lounge in Cambridge MA, 1st Tuesdays starting in September. While you’re waiting for September to roll around, like them on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/sicksadandlonesome/?fref=ts
