Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone recently formed a new side project Cedar Sparks with Lewis & Clarke’s multi-instrumentalist Lou Rogai.
Cedar Sparks recently wrapped up their recording of a new EP inspired by Easton, Pennsylvania’s last public hanging in 1833. They are also working on a new full-length album.
Ahead of their upcoming full-length studio effort and EP, Cedar Sparks have shared their debut single, “Gathering Song”. Carbone and Rogai recorded the song last month at Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania’s Mixolydian Studios. The duo was joined by double bassist Julian Rogai, keyboardist Damian Calcagne, drummer Jeff Berg, and vocalist Regina Sayles.
“Gathering Song” is an all-inclusive holiday anthem of community and togetherness. According to band’s description, Carbone and Rogai were inspired by seasonal depression, the commodification of Christmas, as well as the classic 1946 film It’s A Wonderful Life and the predicament of the main character and protagonist George Bailey. “It’s A Wonderful Life remains a pillar of the season which stands the test of time and reminds us to keep perspective,” reads a portion of a statement accompanying the release of “Gathering Song.”
