Caliban- Davis Oddfellows Hall 3/5/26 Soundboard/Audience matrix Celtic

Here is a fresh new show from Scott Schiller and the “That California Sound” KDRT gang. Celtic duo Caliban played the Oddfellow’s Hall last week and Scott was there with his recorder. He was able to capture the first 45ish minutes of the set. It had some pretty severe brickwalling/clipping but Izotope’s declip worked like magic. I seriously don’t see how it does it. Btw, this is not a paid Izotope endorsement. I don’t do that kind of crap. Gotta keep it real. But man, Izotope is amazing.

Thanks for sharing, Scott!

Recorded with a Zoom H1 I think

Mike Blanchard and Vinny Montoya- Morgans Mill, Woodland 1/23/26 Californios Tattooed Love Dogs Sdbd

We have a NEW contributor to the Sac Music Archive! Scott Schiller and Chuck (Jonemery) Dodds have started to record the excellent Morgan’s Mill shows in Woodland. I really appreciate them- these guys do a weekly segment on the Sac Music Archive on their KDRT show called “That California Sound” on Monday evenings, so they have been supporting us for a while.

Mike Blanchard and Vinny Montoya played the Mill last weekend. These 2 guys have been playing together for over 30 years- first in the Tattooed Love Dogs in the 1990s, then in Mike Blanchard and the Californios more recently.

Kevin Seconds and Alex Walker- Morgan’s Mill, Woodland Ca 1/16/26 Digital Soundboard Master

It’s time for another collections post from new contributor Scott Schiller. Scott and Jonemery (Chuck) Dodds are promoting a new series of shows in the Davis/Woodland area. It looks like they started at Morgan’s Mill in Woodland and they are now doing some stuff at Watermelon Music in Davis, but I saw another show at the Mill in March. Go follow left of the dial promotions if that is your jam, as the kids say.

This show took place about a month ago with Kevin and Alex. Almost 2 hours of song swaps and stories. It’s a bit dynamic, so turn it up.

The Polyorchids- Press Club, Sacramento Ca 1/10/26 4K UHD Multicam w/Schoeps Audio Americana

Today was supposed to be something from Chris Eng but I ran out of time. Tomorrow I hope.

Finally, after multiple audio revisions, is the Polyorchids’ 10 year anniversary show at Press Club from earlier this year. We had originally edited this with soundboard audio and discovered that the board recording distorts badly about halfway through. I recorded 3 audio sources for this one and non of them are spectacular. Ugh, I tried.

It was still a great show and it was really nice to see the guys after a pretty long layoff. Justin lives up on Orcas Island in Washington, so they don’t get a chance to play too often.

Recorded by: Shayne Stacy
Equipment used: Panasonic Lumix G9ii w/Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm F/2.8-4 ASPH lens (x2); 3x gopro Hero 7 black;
Audio: Schoeps CCM4 mics, Naiant Tinybox preamp, Sony A10 digital recorder matrixed with soundboard.
