It’s Happening!!!!
OK! It is really happening! We have been working hours now to try to finish up everything’s official music video by December 28th for our patrons! We’ve been gathering footage since October for our video concept and we’ve even shed a few (thousand) tears. We’re going to be sharing our personal story about this song with our Patrons, we just need to get gathered and prune back all these tears we’ve cultivated and raised. We never really get over losing someone do we? This is all still very raw for us even after all this time, but it’...
Oh Holy Night
This song has always been one of our favorites of the Holiday besties and our personal anthem to our Iz. Welcoming any new soul into the world is such a joyous occasion after an exhausting journey, this song really resonated with us and our little fam. In so many ways Izzy has showed us how to love one another and even through all of our shortcomings he still seems to think we’re pretty alright. One of the memories we have of this song is also in Home Alone when Macaulay finally realizes the old man is his friend. A very fitting scene for thi...
Hanukkah Jam Sesh
Dust (the dust blows hard) is one of our favorites! It just makes us feel good about every hard season we will inevitably go through here in the Valley. We don’t even remember how it came about but it’s one we obviously keep coming back too. You’ll probably be hearing this one again in the near future!
New Video!
Here’s a couple of songs from our solstice jam session! Mole in the Cuckoo and Silent Night on Banjo + some Bonus awkward banter 🤪
SILENT NIGHT IMPROMPTU JAM SESH
Not super planned out, but here's a little video for you everyone! Honestly! Who forgets the lyrics to Silent night? I got a bit distracted by the pattern change Abe pulled :( but I think we recovered nicely :) This is one of the first songs I sang to Izzy when he was born and it resonated with all of us. He was fast asleep tonight as well! Hope you all enjoy!
Happy Solstice!
Happy Solstice! Today! The 21st, Happy Hanukkah 22nd-30th! Christmas! New Years! This is a BIG year this year you guys! Aaaaaand we are moving into the year of The Metal Rat! Guess who’s a Wood Rat? And Abe is hailing from the Year of the Metal Horse! It’s a big one for movement, relationships and gathering everyone! We’re going to be celebrating by posting as many Holiday songs we can stomp out till New Year’s Eve! Attention Sweet Rad Patrons! We’ll start posting new content for everyone starting tonight at twilight-ish....depending ...
Patrons have the Right!
You have the right to early access! You also have the right to be the first to share! In the coming weeks and days we’ll be sharing new content with all our Patrons before it goes Public on YouTube. This is so you’ll get to be the first to view all the new stuff! But please DO feel free to share anything we post for you here on any of your public forums (fb etc.) that you participate in even if it’s before our public release on YouTube. We want to make sure our Patrons are getting all our content first, but how you decide to share it fro...
Silent night learnin
Still at it. We practice when we can. I had a couple days of solitude so I made the most of it with some ukulele practice. Silent night is always one that makes me feel like it’s the season!
Morg learns Uke - Feliz Navidad
The same 3 chords. Another song you can play with C G7 and F! Good practice for Uke learnin’ We love the holidays and all they have to offer, musically especially!
EVERYTHING by Sweet Radish
Here's the latest song we've been working on a music video to release to our Patrons on December 28th and to the Public January 1st. We hope you enjoy this Audio set to a Southern Colorado cyclone blizzard on the Jack Rabbit Hollow Farm Animal Sanctuary. We're looking forward to sharing the Official Music Video with everyone!
TAKE 1- Ooops! My bad :/
Sorry guys! I brought you in at the wrong spot! My B! All things considered Garrett and Abe did pretty fantastic on the harmonies for this one! I'm really happy they jumped right in there! My old music teacher Mrs. Pav always used to say "Attack, Attack Attack that Note!" While striking her wand against the music stand. I'm surprised she didn't break that little stick more often. I was repeating this Mantra to Garrett just before the early harmonic release occurred. I actually think these little fails help release pent up ne...
BLOOPER TIME: Audio "I Miss yooou!
Here's a little bit of "True True" for everyone! I was scrolling through individual wave files in our project and I stumbled across a couple good ones I decided to keep on hand.
Thanks Liz!!!!
You are so amazing!!!! Thank you so much for being a Sweet Radish patron. We really appreciate you and would love to see you again soon! Hope you enjoy the sweet rad benefits from being our patron and we can’t wait to share everything with you. ❤️🎶🤘🏽
More Uke practice getting into the spirit.
This was one of my favorite songs growing up. My mom always played it during the holidays. I’m really excited to play it with Abe!!
Welcome Rosie!!!
Yay! Welcome and thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ we really appreciate your support. You now have access to our entire history of posts so don’t forget to check all that out. We are so excited to share new content with you and give you all the awesome rewards for your patronage. We love you 😘
Hanukkah oh Hanukkah 🕎
One of my favorite holiday songs being sung by my favorite person. Morgan recorded this version while practicing the Ukulele. I think she is getting really good how about you? Thanks for learning this song babe, you make this Hebrew feel at home. (Abe)
BRAND NEW SONG!
We just fell right into this song. And we thought why not take the opportunity to share it with you first! Check the time stamp on the thumbnail. Created literally minutes ago. Abe still needs to add some solo tracks and harmonies. I'm so looking forward to hearing what he comes up with for this one. He has already created such beautiful guitar and bass tracks. We started out calling this song "foundations" as we were in composition process but we quickly and accidentally saved it as "Ricky" for obvious reasons. The reason w...
"The Dust" Abe's Take 1
Story time!When I went to bed it was nearly midnight. Last I saw Abe was contentedly working on putting in multiple instrument tracks for Dust. I think he was optimistic at that point. I passed out hard, the strings noise doesn't seem to bother Izzy and I. When we woke up at our usual 4am, Abe was still there standing in the same place in front of the mic. He seemed less optimistic at this point. I said hey are you still up? He turned around while tossing the headphones onto the counter. "It's Terrible!" he said. "I don'...
Drilling songs
Sound familiar? We love to practice our favorite parts of songs over and over and over again until we get it juuuust right. Drilling helps us feel much less anxious when performing and helps us gain muscle memory and just plain old memory memory for remembering songs. Tidbit: in 2017 our farm and entire county was declared a disaster area due to extreme drought. In 2018 the year our son Izrael Rain was born our county reached a record high for the past 200 years in water abundance. We also had an insurgence of mosquitos that year, haha! Can’t...
That’ll do Garrett
Garrett is so obliging. He’s always down to participate. This day we asked him if he wanted to be in our video and he said “sure!” no questions asked. We didn’t end up using this clip but it still makes us laugh every time! I think Benji goat was making him a wee bit nervous 😆
Naked bringing back memories
Lots of memories have been getting stirred up as we’re finishing up our song “everything” which was inspired by our dear friend Butters “Josh” who we lost the unexpectedly and have had a hard time coming back from the heartache of the loss. Our song “Naked” always brings up fond memories of Butters because he would always jump up even in the most somber of crowds and proceed to take his clothes off while dancing and singing. He was crazy! That’s what we loved about him and his ability to love unconditionally.My favorite “Butte...
Abe Records
We’re getting geared up for this one! We’ve made some changes and additions to this song that we are loving. We’ve always had a soft spot in our hearts for this song( The Dust), it’s one of our warm up songs for banjo and our favorite song to jam. This was one of those songs that was easy to write after a lot of struggle writing songs... or really liking the songs we write. We tend to need lots of challenges and diversity to stay interested, we tend to burn out quickly on some songs, but not this one! A little tidbit: The verse “In th...
Make it work
Here’s a little bit of what we like to call “The True True”. The not so flashy bare naked truth of everything. Our studio is very small and casual in reality. Here’s GarrBear laying down rough tracks on two of his original songs we’re working hard on finishing recording. We’re so excited that he’s sharing his songs with us and we’ve been having a blast creating with him these past few weeks. Btw: that’s a roll of 50/50% hemp and wool yarn we’re using as a mic stand. Only the best!
Embarrassing creative processes
“Can you just say that again?“ Abe asks. We often look back at the things we do and say to each other, we’re so ridiculous,lol! This is one of those moments. 😆😆😆
Holiday Prep
Getting ready for the season WIP! We love ALL holidays! Here’s a playlist of our past year’s videos. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcDrLNoMxFibHlBhmo9pU4ixRkYwDFtS1Any reason to celebrate is a good one! This year is going to be super fun because Hanukkah and Christmas overlap so the party will start for us on the eve of December 21st and continue through to January 1st 2020! We’ll be sharing some cool holiday type content ASAP!
Little things
Little things like this often get sent to us to celebrate small milestones. We don’t post them often because it feels somewhat like bragging rather than celebrating. But we were super pleased about this message we got from YouTube recently! We haven’t been very great at cultivating our Sweet Radish Channel in the past. We’ve been focusing hard on our Jack Rabbit Hollow Channel, if you don’t already know it you can check it out at https://www.youtube.com/user/abeus28. There’s some Sweet Radish Videos there too! We have 159 videos and 1...
It doesn’t always work out
Abe is notorious for breaking strings. Turns out he doesn’t even need to be playing for it to happen anymore 😆
Meet Garrett
This is Garrett. Garrett is Abe’s Bestie from high school and they had been in a band together called “subnombulus” in college. They played doom metal. The band did not make it but Garrett and Abe’s friendship continues still. We just love this guy! He’s an artist and graphic designer as well as a very diverse musician. Garrett plays guitar, mandolin, bass, piano, sings and writes his own music. He’s also a blast to be around. We’re super jazzed to be bringing you all some new music with him in root with us and we will even be rel...
Susanna! More practice
Still at it practicing. Another Nahko cover here. One of my favorites! This is one of those songs we just fell into so easily. We both had been singing along in the car since they first released the album years ago so by the time Abe learned the chords it was a breeze. We’re still working on other things we f@&! up still but it’s always a work in progress. Izzy said “yeah” which is a big compliment for someone who usually plugs his ears when we play music😆
