Sunday Salamanders
BORN OUT OF THE EAST SIDE ACOUSTIC ENSEMBLE (ESAE), A POP-UP INCUBATOR AND COLLECTIVE OF SINGERS, SONGWRITERS, AND MUSICIANS. THE MEMBERS OF THIS ECLECTIC BAND, CAME TOGETHER IN COLLABORATION FOR A COUPLE OF UNIQUELY ARRANGED COVER SONGS, MEANT TO BE AN AUDITIONED IN COMPETITION, IN HOPES OF BEING ADDED INTO THE FINAL ESAE PERFORMANCE SET LIST. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY, PERSONALITIES HARMONIZED SIMPLY. THEIR MUSICAL CONTRIBUTIONS BROUGHT EACH ARTIST ENJOYMENT AND INSPIRATION THAT FED THE SOUL, INDIVIDUALLY AND IN UNISON. IN 2020, THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC CAME TO WISCONSIN'S DOOR. WITH THE ESAE CONCERT ONLY WEEKS AWAY, REHEARSALS AND THE SCHEDULED PERFORMANCE WAS CANCELED. THIS WAS DISAPPOINTING; HOWEVER, THIS ECLECTIC GROUP COULDN'T DENY A CONNECTION HAD BEEN MADE. WHY NOT KEEP A GOOD THING GOING...? BIRTHED IN MADISON WISCONSIN, FALL OF 2020...
