Discussion / Q & A with author, Steve Matteo
Annie Mark & Chris James are strong performers on their own, together they make a dynamic duo. Together they have been on several Paradiddle releases including Bob Dylan Uncovered Vols 1 & 2, Wille Nile Uncovered and most recently, Hank Williams Uncovered. Annie’s self-titled debut CD was also reissued by Paradiddle Records in 2020. Two people deeply entwined, playing to one another, locked in harmony, making music together. An organic, raw and rootsy feel driven by Chris’ powerful guitar. Annie’s voice, at different turns, sometimes powerful and at times achingly vulnerable. Annie and Chris move seamlessly from genre to genre, drawing from their vast musical tastes for their shows – Americana, blues, country, folk, rock – whether playing originals or paying homage to those who have come before. Annie and Chris bring their devotion and dedication to serving each song up to each other and their listeners with all their heart and soul. A powerful, moving, show, not to be missed. 
Russ Seeger is truly a living legend on the Long Island music scene. For a remarkable four-plus
decades, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Seeger has performed at virtually every venue in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, playing acoustic and electric guitars, fiddle and more, singing his songs and uniquely interpreting the tunes of those who’ve influenced him along the way. He’s made music with such greats as Peter Rowan, Vassar Clements, Paul Siebel, Peter Stampfel, Rick Danko, John Hartford and—the one he’s most proud of—the late, great Levon Helm, who anchored a band with Seeger called the Last Hombres, who released an album, Redemption, in 2003. He has released 2 CDs of original material, Live in Peace (2012) and Tracks (2021) both on Paradiddle Records. He has also appeared on Paradiddle releases Bob Dylan Uncovered Vol. 1 & 2, Kinks UnKovered and Willie Nile Uncovered.

Now available on all music streaming platforms, “The Process” tackles topics ranging from suicide ideation, disordered eating, and domestic abuse to suicide prevention, self-acceptance, and the rebuilding of self-esteem and hope. The concept album leaves the listener with a wholesome, emotional, and cathartic experience.
