Today our old pal Christopher Anthony Cote (of The Johnnies and other fame) has released 2 albums of his fantastic early (2004-2007) recordings.From his MySpace bio: "Award winning composer Christopher Anthony Cote began his career in music as a musical theatre composer. After several years as resident composer and music director for Seacoast Repertory Theatre's youth stage, he left to start his own company, Dinosaur In A Dish Youth Theatre, with his girlfriend, playwright Adi Rule. After eight years, the small but successful company went out of business after Christopher & Adi's long relationship ended. In the wake all this, he began writing introspective pop songs, which began a gradual move way from stage music, to cultivating a deeper understanding of popular song. Christopher was a believer in the artistic potential of musical theatre, and now focuses his creative energy on contemporary pop. As might be expected, his songs, both musically and lyrically, have a theatrical and classical influence, but with a restraint that is often lacking in most contemporary musical theatre performance. He is currently working on recording his debut full-length album, to be issued on his private label Hippo Posthumous Records."
We have heard Christopher play these songs live many times over the years, in venues both public and private, and think that many of you would enjoy them as well.
Here are links to the download pages for each album:
- This Bleeding Business - Ten tracks for $4 (multiple formats)
- Slapdash EP - Six tracks for $3 (multiple formats)
And see him live on St Patrick's Day at The Coat of Arms in Portsmouth, NH from 12:30 - 3pm and Master McGrath's in Seabrook, NH from 5 - 10 pm!
