Many Good Things Happening

Hello all.  Many good things have been happening which unfortunately have not been shared lately.  Better late than never, so we would be sharing some highlights of happenings since our last post.

We are pleased to share the amazing photo below from a music video filmed in Chicago with Zoran Orlic behind the lens.

Nenad Bach Band and Black47 @ The Towne Crier on August 17th 2012

Nenad Bach Band and Black47 @ The Towne Crier on August 17th 2012. Full house, great vibe! The venerable Towne Crier Café in Pawling, NY, has been presenting some of rock’s top acts for the past forty years, and yet I suggest none could have been better received than the dynamite double bill I saw last Friday night. 

Opening act, The Nenad Bach Band, as I have witnessed so many times before, engaged and converted new fans to a special brand of music. The headliners, Black 47, likewise did not disappoint, as they rocked the full house well into the night. It was especially exciting for me to witness the performances through the lens of my camera, which has been trained on both of these bands for the past decade.

Nenad Bach's Interview on Conversation Crossroad on Monday, August 6, 7pm EST

http://conversationcrossroad.com/?p=5379


The Conversation Crossroad radio program is the definitive Internet-based radio program for listeners who want the best in entertainment, information and intriguing ideas.

Listen to Nenad Bach's interview on Monday, August 6, 7pm EST.

Nenad Bach has a dream. A dream nurtured through wartime and expatriation, a dream informed by his quest for universal justice and deep longing for world peace. The result: All I Want Is Freedom, a passionate cri de coeur and the latest CD in the artist’s prolific body of work.

It’s a potent shot of rock infused with heart and soul, packed with provocative lyrics calling back the ethos of the sixties, unafraid to question, determined to seek answers, in a rousing call to action that electrifies, galvanizes, and at the same time mesmerizes. Solidly backed by the four like-minded musicians comprising the Nenad Bach Band, and brilliantly recorded and mixed by five-time Grammy Award winner John Holbrook, the album was created at Nenad’s home in New York, in a back-to-basics bid for the days when “rock musician” wasn’t a profession, but a vocation. The naturalistic approach, inspired by Beatles’ engineer Geoff Emerick, is as close to live recording as it gets. For Nenad, “Love Is The Sound.” And for his listeners and the world, only love – and the truth – will set us free.

Nenad Bach Band Conquers Hanks Saloon

.

The Nenad Bach Band's debut performance at Hanks Saloon on 18 February 2012 was a fantastic success. There was great feedback from members of the audience.

Firstly, we wish to share a few photos sent in by Merlin.






It is also our pleasure to share wonderful comments by Vera Fabris who was one of the appreciative people who watched the show.


Hank’s Saloon in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. A neighborhood with the mind of it’s own, with a relatively small, but powerful gem hiding in it. Nenad Bach and his band fit right in, adjusted to the environment; their music promoting the mystique in an undeniably invigorating way. One could not avoid but to ask oneself - did the audience know that the song ‘Vukovar’, about a Croatian town that became a symbol of senseless destruction, was brought to Brooklyn by Mr. Bach and his band in the form of a phoenix, raising from the ashes, only to blend in…It seemed as the rhythm of it, as well as of the other songs, was becoming faster and faster, and it’s texture grew stronger. The atmosphere was becoming more uplifting and optimistic, as the other songs were. The emotion was paradoxically heavy and light at the same time, always meaningful, positive, and elegant. It could have been that, in such an environment, it almost became compatible, in it’s greatness, with a timeless, black and white, John Wayne’s photo hanging on the wall. Nenad Bach and his band conquered Hank’s Saloon with such a certainty that comes only in some chosen times.
