Date: Friday, October 11
Eric Brace and Thomm Jutz have just made their debut album. A curious fact, given they’ve played a few hundred shows together over the past decade, and have recorded five records together in the company of their musical comrade Peter Cooper. When Peter died in December, 2022, the music world lost one of its brightest and best. And Thomm and Eric lost a musical brother whose creative spark had always inspired them and sent them down new paths together.
The question was before them as 2023 dawned: “What next?” And the answer came easily: Make music. And so they did. Eric and Thomm began writing songs together, booking gigs, hitting the road, and spending time in Thomm’s recording studio. The resulting 14 tracks on Simple Motion capture the duo in different ways. There are songs with just two voices and two acoustic guitars. There are songs with a full band of brilliant players. But however they’re arranged, the songs are full of life and love and beauty and sadness, conveying the joy of being alive while not ignoring the deep blue of loss that these past few years have marked us all with.
