ROB SEZ: Philip B. Price (above photo, at left) is a highly talented musician from New England who fronted or played in various bands over the years before settling on Winterpills — a favorite at my house. This show (shared by drummer Rich Dart) marked the 1-year anniversary of the power pop / Brit Invasion-inspired Maggies. Fittingly, there's a celebratory spirit in the performance. All of Philip Price's many solo recordings were released earlier this month. Check out this archival project via Bandcamp or PledgeMusic. Read a great interview with Philip Price by Mick at his Art Into Dust site.

Winterpills' Philip Price & wife Flora Reed do it all

ROB SEZ: There are lots of Winterpills duo recordings out there with Philip and Flora, but this is the only full-length acoustic trio show I know about. BIG HONKIN' THANKS to El Ranchero Deluxe for taping & sharing this one with the fans. I'm betting everyone who listens will enjoy the warm, intimate sound the taper was able to capture. Note: if the lovely chats between songs aren't your thing, you can easily delete every file with a "b" after the track number, and you'll still have all the music. Thanks as always to Mick & Don for the hot tip about this talented band...

Winterpills:
