Last year, a Berklee College of Music student by the name of Evan Chapman created The Loft Sessions – a stellar YouTube series that pairs emerging musicians with a massive world-class backing orchestra, choir and video production team.
Over the weekend, Chapman released his newest video featuring Boston-based bluegrass group, Damn Tall Buildings. In this epic, epic production, the band performs of “The Ballad of Nigel Williams” off of Cure-All (Amazon MP3 & Spotify), its newest album released last month. The arrangement by Chapman mixes DTB’s foot-stomping bluegrass sound with classical string and choral elements. It’s intense! Check it out.
