Here’s another selection of NYC based artists who submitted their music to The Deli through our awesome "digital submission" page.
The Wiskey Collection is quintet of chilled bluegrassers formed in the spring of 2010 after meeting at the Julliard School they all attended. The band soon released its first eponymous EP, which reveals a love affair with country music through the lyrics and voice of front-man, Cameron Scoggins. A controlled fiddle fills the spaces tastefully, while simple percussion elements coming from the cajon and various other percussions create delicate texture that suits these gentle songs. One track, "Lazy Jim", shows some spunk when Scoggins breaks into a quasi-rap together the only female in the group, Corey Gerstenfeld, who also plays the (unmissable) ukulele. The Whiskey Collection are set to sample songs off of their upcoming full-length album when they play Rockwood Music Hall on September 9.
Jesse Brickel freelances as a drummer and percussionist, but as his solo project, Young Yeller, he shows that he can do (much) more than keep the beat. Front and center, behind the mic, his dulcet voice blends perfectly with the dreamy dance electro-pop he concocts. The intro to "Make Me" is an aural adventure filled with everything from solid drumming to groove-inducing guitar playing, and the rest of the song proves to be a great atmospheric dance track. This along with his other more mellow song, "It’s Enough", are available to download for free on his website . As for the rest of the his debut EP, "Make Me," Young Yeller will release the whole enchilada during the first week of September. – Abigail P. Devora
