The Folk-Rap Revolution of Solo Saloon

featured2

Recently, I had the privilege of listening in on a recording session with, “Solo Saloon”, a two-person musical group who record in Freedom, New Hampshire. The composers, Christian Essex and Jacob Quimby, collaborate and their differing styles weave together to form the multidimensional yet cohesive self-titled genre of, “folk-rap”. Their recording studio is located inside a barn which, on the outside, holds all the charm one would associate with a New England farmhouse. However, upon entering, the pine floors boast the only vintage aspect of this remodeled space. Large square speakers amplify the myriad of sound created through a midi-keyboard, guitar, bass, and microphone hooked up to a computer which allows the artists to experiment with and layer vocal and instrumental expression.

Big Barn Studios

Located in Freedom Village, New Hampshire, Big Barn Studios is the musical home of Christian Essex and Solo Saloon. Built in 2008 inside a post and beam barn (circa 1860), Big Barn Studios is nestled in the deep woods of the lower White Mountains.
