Hometown Sounds

We readily admit our unabashed love for videos of studio recording. There’s no awkwardness in lip and performance syncing, just pure authenticity in laying down the cut of the song for the ages. Wes Tucker and his friendly Skillets are reserved veterans of the roots rock scene, releasing four studio albums over many years. Tucker is here for the long haul, as his upcoming fifth album took three years of hard work to get right. The videographers at Bard Tales Productions captured the recording of “Get Back” at The Brink Studios, showcasing Tucker’s assured and approachable delivery and his band’s tight blues-rock groove. Alexandria’s Port City Brewing hosts the band Friday night at 7 PM, so bring your growlers and go home happy.
