Serendipity CD was released on June 18, 2021

May 9, 2021

John’s new recording, Serendipity (Whaling City Sound, WCS129), was released on June 18, 2021.

“The only public concert I played the entire year of the covid pandemic lockdown was a virtual one for broadcast on the internet. Mike, Ed and I imagined being on stage together and presented a program just as if we were playing in front of an audience of real people. There were no second takes, no overdubs, no corrections; we simply played each tune and then moved on. The CD package you are holding in your hands and the sounds that are filling your ears are the document of the live concert we played in actual fact for an audience of one, our videographer.”

John Stein – guitar

Ed Lucie – bass guitar

Mike Connors – drumset

My record label, Whaling City Sound, brought my trio to New Bedford’s AHA night for what would have been a live concert. Due to the pandemic, it was instead video-taped and broadcast on September 10, 2020.

The recorded audio from the concert has been turned into a CD release on the Whaling City Sound label entitled Serendipity.

Myself on guitar, with Ed Lucie on bass and Mike Connors on drums.
