Thomas' vox on Davis' rock opera
Overcoming a lethal cocktail of the common cold and cat allergies, Albany soul rocker Bryan Thomas recently completed vocal duties on nineteen songs being recorded for Rise and Shine, an epic new musical by New York City's Jed Davis and Arturo Vega. Contributors to the project include CJ Ramone, Kitty Kowalski of the Kowalskis, Maryann Fennimore of Crescent and Frost, and Dicky Barrett of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones - with more to be announced.
On one track, a "drunk" Thomas in character as "Jonah" accosts a yuppie played by Ramone, only to have Barrett's "Tank" character save his ass from a serious beatdown.
Updates on the progress of Rise and Shine are available online at jeddavis.net - as is Jed's must-read, tell-all memoir documenting the Albany music scene of the late nineties.
