Bio / Background
Acoustic records can be a surprise. Sometimes even a surprise to the artist.
That is certainly the story with Thom Beckman's Stray Dog Cafe.
Combining a taste for pop craft and classical acoustic can be a sticky proposition; but once in a while something like Stray Dog Cafe comes along and forces you to re-evaluate the state of acoustic music. Strong anthemic compositions lie side by side with more introspective moments, the two building up a soundscape to a familiar and friendly sonic place where the mind can wander like the passenger that counts mileposts along the side of the highway.
As a song cycle, the tunes seem to naturally flow, like the fantasy soundtrack to your road trip from Tahoe to Salt Lake, taking breaks in the little places, where the locals have a story to tell. In listening to Stray Dog Cafe in this way, it all coheres into a seamless whole.
