"October 8, 1906" (Vaudeville radio drama)
Posted: Sat Jan 06, 2024 10:37 pm
I'm sharing a rather unusual project my band just released: a radio drama about a mysterious vaudeville troupe that arrives in rural Maine in 1906. Rumors of their bizarre shows are spreading far about town. Is it true they hypno-possessed a girl last week in Portsmouth? What's about this odd new invention? Admission to the show is a full ten cents!
The album mixes dialogue from eighteen different voice actors with live music from a four-piece band (accordion / theremin / piano / drums). There isn't really a 'single' in the traditional sense - it's more of a play that flows from beginning to end. But the opening track, "Prologue," starts with a song from the band and then features a short bit of dialogue before following one of the characters in real-time as he walks out onto the street to call in the audience for the show. You'll know pretty well after that first track whether it's your vibe or not. Thanks in advance to anyone who listens!
