It’s Rutland’s new rehearsal and DIY recording studio, A Sound Space, located at 77 Grove St., which used to be the CVPS building and now is home to the Rutland Herald, an art gallery and now, this. I had the pleasure of speaking with local musician, George Nostrand, who is the owner of the music space, to find out more about it. Memorial Day weekend will feature two local bands there, Discavus and Ukebox. The events are free and and Rockin’ the Region By DJ Dave Hoffenberg open to the public, and are an opportunity to meet the bands, observe a live rehearsal and tour the new space. Saturday, May 25, Discavus will be in the studio from 7-9 p.m. performing and answering questions from the live audience. Sunday, May 26, Ukebox will be running through songs and answering questions, from 6-8 p.m. Discavus is a three piece instrumental band that plays a combo of jazz, funk and fusion. Ukebox is a five piece, all female band, playing ukulele, accordion, piano and drums. Ukebox played its first official gig at the last winter farmers market. Nostrand said it’s a cool eclectic band. The idea for the studio originally came two years ago from Mark Foley, who owns the building. He approached Nostrand with the idea and asked him if he thought it would work. Nostrand said, “I think it’s a good idea, I’m just not sure if it will work or not.” For whatever reason, the idea was shelved for a few years. When the Herald moved in, Nostrand, who works for them, was looking for a rehearsal space with a band he plays with. He went with the old, “better to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission” approach, and it worked. He ended up working out a deal with Foley and took a business class to learn a few things. Nostrand said, “I almost didn’t go through with it. It’s kind of a leap of faith. I’m a musician not a business man. I figured I would give it a try, and so far, it’s been going pretty well.” The space is the old “war room” for CVPS. If anything went wrong, this is where they went. Nostrand said, “This was their emergency headquarters so it’s kind of built like a bomb shelter.” A Sound Space opened in March and has hosted a handful of events, including a live performance from Krishna Guthrie and Bobby Maguire that I attended April 3. I like it because it’s not just a rehearsal space. You get to see a rehearsal in a live atmosphere. It was a cool, intimate performance. Nostrand has a full P.A. system Rockin’ the Region, page 46
