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