Ocean Carolina - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
On September 18, 2012, Ocean Carolina (Lightyear / EMI) returns with their first full-length album, All The Way Home -- the follow-up to their highly praised debut effort, Leave On.
All The Way Home was recorded and produced by bandmates Michael Simone and Alex Cox in a house off of the bay of the North Fork of Long Island and in an art loft in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The North Carolina natives focused on using analog gear to create an organic space to capture the moments dictated by this collection of songs.
Joining the band for this journey includes Caitlin Cary (Whiskeytown) on backing vocals
and violin, Jon Graboff (Ryan Adams, Shooter Jennings) on pedal steel, with Peele
Wimberley (The Connells) and Jeff Gensterblum (Small Brown Bike) on drums. Layered with the lead vocals and guitars of Michael Simone, the melodic bass guitar of Alex Cox and the 70’s era-Clapton influenced stylings of UK import Chris Buckle on lead guitar and backing vocals, the body of Ocean Carolina was complete.
Merging the classic Outlaw country sound of Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, a touch of folk from Neil Young, and a love of bands the likes of The Cure, Oasis and Pink Floyd, Simone crafted the ten songs that would become All The Way Home.
