September 2021: Remembering…
air date: Saturday, September 11th at 8:00 p.m. EDT
It’s September and time for another installment of Acoustic Blend! This month we are building on last month’s theme (back to the beginning) and taking a closer look at memory. There are a LOT of local artists this month, so let’s jump in!
We’ll lead off with a track from Malachi Jaggers’ latest release, Fearless. How we remember something often informs our present state of mind (more on that shortly). Malachi produced both of my albums, and listening to this makes me want to get back into the studio. Go ahead and put this one on repeat.
We’re featuring (remembering) a number of local artists this hour, including June IND, Joe Peters and Michael Kelsey, Lauren Grace, Michael Longcor, and yours truly. Many of us are connected through the Songwriters Association of Mid-North Indiana (SAMI). It’s an incredibly supportive community, as evidenced by June IND’s recent participation in #philanthrockyto support SAMI through streaming.

Special thanks to host and fellow songwriter Barrett Myers for putting “Come to Hand” on this month’s playlist. For information on Barrett’s music and his work on Acoustic Blend, visit https://www.barrettmyers.com/.
In addition to a couple of months of planning, it took 44 days from recording to release of June IND’s unplugged version of “Come to Hand,” a popular song from bandmates Chris June and Emily Larimer’s former group Chemcoma.
Recorded in “about three takes each” according to vocalist, guitarist Chris June, the Lafayette, Indiana rock band (including vocalist, percussionist Emily Larimer and special guest vocalist, violinist Justice Fuller) was joined by photographer Dave Mason (ISPhotographic) and engineer Neil McTavish at REC Room Recording. Mason and McTavish captured the recording session in picture and sound, respectively.

Older, but new: Hello, again, June IND’s ‘Come to Hand’
Today’s a big day forJune IND, with Chris June and Emily Larimer set to release “Come to Hand,” a remade track from their days in the band Chemcoma.
The new rendition, the first from June IND since their“First Annual Meeting of Optimists” series in 2019 and 2020, was recorded to mark the 10th anniversary of the last show of their heavier Chemcoma. Older for sure, wiser most likely, June and Larimer recorded with Lafayette’s Justice Fuller on backing vocals and violin on this one.
