JP & the Gilberts, a Brooklyn’s up-and-coming alt-country outfit, will "challenge" veteran NYC folkster Alex Battles during the release party of their album "Introducing… JP & the Gilberts" on Friday, December 16 at their own Brooklyn basement turned DIY venue, called The Rad Pad. Battles, who also hosts the Johnny Cash Birthday Bash and the Brooklyn Country Music Festival, will also be releasing not one, not two but FOUR albums of original music he recorded in 2011. All four albums will be available in a handmade ‘manila folder set’ at the release. RSVP through the band website for the address! – (as posted in The Deli’s Open Blog – post your band’s entries, videos, and Mp3s here).
