It’s time for another round of Studio Sessions with the School of Rock Chapel Hill, featuring three classic songs performed by the House Band!

This month, Aaron welcomes six members of the House Band: Joshua Bosworth, JJ Helbert, Conlan Sharp, Grant Watson, Jack Wilson, and (for the first time) Lachlan McElwee.

It’s a new House Band for the new school year: these members have only been rehearsing together for two weeks, but they’re already developing strong chemistry. Most of them are also House Band veterans, recently back from a summer tour that took them out to Colorado.

School of Rock owner/GM David Joseph is also on hand, promoting upcoming shows – including the Carrboro Music Festival on Sunday, September 28, and TABLE’s Empty Bowls event on Sunday, October 5.

Listen to their conversation, plus the band’s performances of Led Zeppelin’s “Black Dog,” Little Feat’s “Spanish Moon,” and Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing.”
