Record Store Day

April 23, 2013

Record-Store-Day-1

A trip to our local record store to support RSD

Just a little after opening, we arrived to CD Trader in Tarzana, CA.  It was amazing to see a record store so busy!  And it wasn’t just people waiting in line for the special releases, it was a scene where people were sifting through all sorts of vinyl, cd’s and even cassettes.

Record-Store-Day-2

Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding over 700 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. Now it happens annually on the 3rd Saturday of April.  As I was waiting in line for our special release vinyls, Justin perused the store and found a sweet live album of Al DiMeola (his favorite guitarist next to Trey Anastasio).

Record-Store-Day-3

After only about a half hour of waiting we were able to purchase about 50% of our RSD wish list: Phish “Lawn Boy,” Trey Anastasio’s 7″ picture disc, Blind Melon “Blind Melon,”(a TOTAL flashback to my middle school days) Cake’s live 7” color vinyl, and MGMT’s CASSETTE single release “Alien Days.” Realizing our tape player was broken when we got home, luckily MGMT offered an MP3 download as well:)

Record-Store-Day-5

After spending $120 at a record shop, you’d think we would have a record at home…nope!  Our friend Tyler brought over his record player and his purchases as well….I was especially stoked to listen to the “Rare Cuts & Oddities,” the RSD release from the Grateful Dead.  There’s some really sweet tracks from rehearsals within the first 6 months that the Dead were formed.  Very Beatles-esque.

Record-Store-Day-7

Another track I am completely obsessed with: Cake’s live recording of “Jesus Wrote a Blank Check.” It’s super bluegrassy, something I’ve been really digging recently.  Looking forward to building our new record collection, and yes, purchasing a record player too!

It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! It’s been a while since I introduced myself. Hi! I’m Andrea Whitt, musician, artist, stylist and model. 
I get asked often about my pedal steel playing and thought I’d share a little of my musical journey.

My first instrument was guitar when I was 8. I was given an acoustic guitar for Christmas and by April I had taught myself a handful of songs that I had my friends sing along with me at my 9th birthday. That year I started playing viola, and went on to get my masters degree at University of Cincinnati CCM in viola performance. I was getting so tired of playing the same classical rep that I joined the jazz department. 
I moved to LA after college, and as a surprise to myself was able to support myself doing music full time. Except a gig as a spray tan artist, but that’s another story 🤣 A huge part of my musical career has been teaching private lessons, group classes and conducting youth orchestras. 

I played in rock bands, orchestras, did sessions, random gigs (many shitty ones) until I landed the gig with Shania Twain. I was hired as a violist and fiddle player. I purchased my first violin for this gig and went to local bluegrass jams to learn fiddle styles, definitely fell on my face every time. It was when I was in Shania’s band that I saw a pedal steel for the first time. I was obsessed. I immediately ordered one off of eBay and had it sent to my hotel room in Vegas. Being a Grateful Dead fan I decided the priority was to learn all of the iconic Jerry Garcia pedal steel solos. Note for note, I taught myself steel with all of Jerry’s signature licks.

Shortly after the Shania gig, I got hired to play in Zucchero’s band. A three year world tour to 48 countries. Even though I had only been playing steel for 3 years I got to perform on steel on a handful of songs every show. When you’re sitting at a new instrument in front of 20,000 people you learn fast!

Now pedal steel is just as much a part of my career as viola and fiddle. Thank you for supporting my journey, many of you have been following since my first steel post. I have lots of new announcements coming soon, thanks for joining me on this long strange trip!
