Terressentials Street Party featuring Past Deux
Mike (left) and Norm (right)
Are you ready for holiday cheer with
Terressentials? Past Deux is prepared to charm and delight you during
a Terressentials Side Roads Sounds Project Street Party on December
21st! They will be outside of our 100 East Patrick Street store from 5 pm to 7:30 or 8:00 pm (ish).
Bio:
Past Deux is a musical partnership of
Norm and Mike which has existed for 29 years. We have a tight, full
sound with harmonizing vocals, archtop guitar and electric bass
guitar. It is hard to categorize our music selections into one or two
genres since we play songs from every decade from the 1930's to
present day. We love to play and it is evident during our
performances. Norm and I are very personable and can assimilate to
any venue and we will work with event planners/organizers to provide
the musical experience you are seeking.

Warner/Reprise records. Johnny also recorded for Freddie Mercury of
Queen on his solo album The Great Pretender - Hollywood records 1993.
Then he toured through Scandinavia and the UK with former members of
Roger Daltrey band in 1995-96 (The Who) and toured with
metal bands Prong and Mind Funk. He then toured with Blues
and Boogie Woogie Artist Daryl Davis as well as fronted his own heavy
powerhouse virtuoso guitar blues band (Johnny Rushmore) that toured
on the East Coast. Check out his smokin' blues CD entitled Boogie
Man! That CD along with a visit from Michael Lang (promoter) to
a showcased VA jam got Johnny on the emerging artist stage at
Woodstock '99. Johnny Rushmore started Rushmore Custom Guitars in
2007 and makes amazing one-of-a-kind custom electric guitars and a
new invention/innovation – each guitar is made all from one piece
of wood. He hand picks the wood he uses from trees in the
Pennsylvanian Hills, then hand carves these unique and individual
masterpieces. Some of the wood he uses includes walnut, ash, and
maple. He also uses exotic woods like Brazilian mahogany and other
Latin American and African woods with the highest standards of
guitar craftsmanship hardware, pickups and high-end audio components
and are considered as some of the finest handmade guitars in the
world. Johnny Rushmore joined the prestigious Richard Underwood
of the Johnson Mountain Boys legendary bluegrass band and received an
endorsement from Martin Guitars in Nazareth Pennsylvania in 2008 and
continues to play and perform all around in the MD, VA, DC,
Pennsylvania New York East Coast region of the US .

Grace Dan & The Fam performance at Terressentials was a great success!
If you missed out on Grace Dan & The Fam's performance in front of our East Patrick Street store in the evening on Saturday, July 20th, you missed a great show! Grace sang beautifully, as her brother, Dan, and father, Joe, accompanied her on percussion and guitar (respectively). She sang covers of crowd favorites including “I'm Yours” by Jason Mraz, “Little Lion Man” by Mumford & Sons, and “Little Talks” by Of Monsters and Men. It was quite nice to see the little crowd that gathered around the Westminster family as they shared their love of music with the East Patrick Street community and those who were just passing by. A Downtown Frederick Partnership employee even stopped by to take some great pictures!
This was just the first of the Side
Roads Sounds Project performances, though. If you want to learn more
about the Side Roads Sounds Project, a Terressentials initiative to
bring more vibrancy and music to the “side roads” of both
downtown Frederick City and Frederick County, check out this post from our Terressentials Side Roads Sounds Project.
Side Roads Sounds Project!
Who doesn't love music? Listening to and creating music is a great way to de-stress, a fantastic outlet for personal expression and for directing energy. Best of all, good music makes people happy!
The Side Roads Sounds Project
is an experimental initiative of Terressentials developed as a way for
our small business to
give back to the Frederick County community. We are artisan
handcrafters of USDA certified organic body care products and we support
many
Fair Trade artisan crafters worldwide and Fair Made USA artists.
As several of our Terressentials team members are artists and/or
musicians, we think it would be great to host local musical artists at
our
Frederick location and, in the future, at our Middletown location to
support our local arts community. For our new experimental musical
venture, we coined the name “Side Roads Sounds Project” to emphasize that we want to
bring more foot traffic and good energy to other parts of Frederick City other than
just Market Street and Carroll Creek (in downtown Frederick), and to
more than just downtown Frederick. Most importantly, however, we hope that our Side Roads Sounds Project will
inspire folks to realize that one can often discover great treasures
and experience exciting adventures when one takes the road less
traveled.
So, what genres of music are we looking for? If you've got a great,
original upbeat sound, a world beat, or your energetic music makes
people smile, dance or clap their hands — we want to hear from you! We welcome acapella singers — we know that man-made instruments aren't always necessary to make truly good music! On another note, we do also appreciate unusual and handmade instruments. We'd like to share that, as our Side Roads Sounds Project is a family/community-oriented project, at
this time, we seek more accessible music so hard rock, metal, rap,
grunge, acid rock, etc., is not being considered.
Don't be shy! If you are interested in
participating in our project and would like us to consider you or your
group, please email us a link to your web site so that we can
learn more about who you are and to hear examples of your musical art.
Feel free to drop your CD and any of your band art/brochures at our
Frederick store at 100 East Patrick Street. If you have a wide variety
of music, please direct us to specific songs on your CD/website that you
feel best represent your work and that will fit with what we are
looking for. We hope to hear from you soon!
