New Video: Adam Arcuragi- "Oh I See"

Adam Arcuragi's new album, Like a Fire that Consumes all Before It, has been on heavy repeat ever since it came out several weeks back. One track in particular that I keep getting stuck on has been the romping sing-along, "Oh I See" that Adam just released a new video for.
Here's what he had to say about the making of the new vid (via NPR)... "The video for 'Oh I See' is a compilation of snap-shots and footage taken on tours across the U.S. and Europe, traveling, practicing and in the studio. The idea was to clean out the hard drive and share a look into the many adventures we have found ourselves on over the past months and years.
Part of the reason we chose this song was because someone happened to capture a video in the studio, of the take, of the version of "Oh I See" that appears on the record. So some of the footage is literally of the moment we were making the song you're hearing. It's a thank you to anyone and everyone that has come to a show, bought a record, played on stage and shared in the wild experience that was the making of this album. All together, it is very much an affirmation that coincides with the spirit of the song: It is the baying of many, to the moon.
I can still hear the wolves calling from miles away .."

Adam Arcuragi: Album Release Show @ Union Pool

I had the chance to attend the album release show for Adam Arcuragi last night at Union Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. His new album, Like a Fire That Consumes all Before it... came out this week and like I said previously, it's fantastic. I'm relatively new to his music so this was my first time seeing him in concert. On record his music comes through as deeply intense and passionate, so I was anxious to see what he would bring to the live setting. It wasn't really a surprise but he delivered ten fold with an emotion filled set, opening with a one two punch of "Presidents Song" & "Oh I See." I've seen his music get described before as 'death gospel' and I guess I never really fully understood the description until seeing him in person. His soulful voice paired with the foot stomping and hand clappin' on stage and in the crowd definitely gave off that spiritual vibe.
Check out some pictures from the show below, plus more over on our Facebook page HERE.

Song of the Week: Adam Arcuragi-"Presidents Song"

Ever since I got my hands on the new album, Like A Fire That Consumes All Before It from Adam Arcuragi last week, I haven't been able to stop listening. The albums official release was just yesterday via Thirty Tigers and if you haven't had the chance to check out his music you should stop what your doing and give it a spin. It would be hard to pick a favorite off the LP so soon, it's chock full of great Americana and roots based tunes, but one I've been loving is the foot stomping sing along, "Presidents Song." He recently premiered a nice intimate new video for the song w/ his band The Lupine Chorale Society, that was directed by Kristian Hansen. Watch and listen below.

Stream: Adam Arcuragi- 'Like a Fire That Consumes All Before it...'

One listen to the music of Philly's Adam Arcuragi and you can tell that the man is an old soul. It's no wonder as Arcuragi grew up listening to his grandparent’s collection of old country records and Southern hymns, while mixing in a little bit of Bob Dylan and The Beatles.
Armed with a new set of tunes, Arcuragi is readying his 3rd LP, Like a Fire That Consumes All Before it... which comes out on January 31 via Thirty Tigers. 
The new album is streaming in full right now if you head over to the folks at NPR HERE.
And be sure to check out his website here for all his recently announced tour dates, which includes a stop at Union Pool in Brooklyn on Feb 2nd.
