Plastic Soldiers Album Release Party with The New Connection,  Rick Gabe Trio, and Jameel Farruk

Plastic Soldiers

Plastic Soldiers are a father and son duo. Fusing two lifetimes that were musically intertwined, the Soldiers are excited to share their special brand of rock ’n roll with a larger audience. Bill Mecaughey—songwriter, guitarist, vocalist, and project visionary has merged his musical gifts with his son, Todd. The younger Mecaughey contributes his formidable and complementary talents—engineering, drumming/percussion and bass playing— to create a broad range of freshly compelling music. Together, Bill and Todd bring to their debut album, â€śBorrowed Time”, over 60 years of music experience, much of it shared. This sonorous family heirloom was conceived in Bill’s Sunroom Studio, brought to life at Todd’s home-away-from-home, Cambridge Sound Studios, and mastered at Abbey Road Studios by world-renowned mastering engineer, Miles Showell.  â€śBorrowed Time” represents the product of eight years of inspired familial collaboration. Plastic Soldiers have enlisted the talents of long-time friends and music talents: Gerald Busz, Alex Baranowski, Matthew Sommer and Rory Geoghegan to help bring this album to life. The combined 6-piece ensemble brings â€śBorrowed Time” to the stage in a special album release performance on February 1st at the Fallser Club!

The New Connection

The New Connection were established in late 2006 and quickly became regulars within Philadelphia’s underground music scene. They have been known to play a unique blend of experimental indie rock, pop and reggae- akin to groups like The Police, XTC and Minus the Bear… two full length records and many, many shows later, the band has followed other paths in life only reunite for special occasions, becoming somewhat of a musical super blue moon. At this special performance at the Fallser Club, expect to see this quintet perform their own material as well as back the Plastic Soldiers. 

 

The Rick Gabe Trio

The Rick Gabe Trio brings a unique blend of multiple genres from rock and R&B to soul and straight-ahead jazz. The trio is comprised of Rick on keyboards, rhythm guitar, percussion, and vocal; Steve Wattenmaker on bass and vocals, along with Bill Zappasodi on guitars, mandolin and vocals. Collectively, the trio has decades of experience as live performers, composers and arrangers.
