Craig Ventresco and Meredith Axelrod - Cold Mornin' Shout - Porto Franco Files

[@banjojudy]

How could anyone give them a thumbs down? These two have kept a large group of fans sane during the 2020 pandemic. They are absolutely fine musicians!

[@johnnelson7625]

People are nuts, that's why.

[@slgis]

Craig Ventresco is one of the best guitarist in the world. Bar none. Every time I see him play, it's inspiring.

[@rickatica]

I love the way she smiles when she hits a note just perfectly, she is a beauty anyway, but especially when she gives that little smile.

[@johnmurphy6259]

FANTASTIC

[@TheCosmicDolphin]

Somebody must have gone back in time to find these two. They're too damn good to be of this era... Haven't heard anything like his in a long while. It's refreshing.

[@johnnelson7625]

Better than morning coffee - fantastic!

[@markvallack]

I can't stop watching this.

[@roberttemple2521]

i remeber craig playing in the old port part of portland maine in the early 1990s. such a fine player, as well as meredith. really nice to finally see and hear him again.

[@SecondHalfofLife]

Brilliant!

[@anitanuthurgun984]

Expletive Yes. For you been loving long time MAGNIFIQUE🎉

[@sutterchip]

Craig and Meredith play like they're wired together! Playing off the same punched tape or paper roll; they're incredible!

[@msragged88]

Fabulous guitar playing!

[@temriver]

Just can't rave enough. These two are unbelievable. What a great vid. Thanks!

[@SteveGoldfield]

Craig and Meredith are in San Francisco so I've been able to see them a number of times. You also need to hear Meredith sing; her voice sounds like a singer on old 78s. Lately, she has been touring with Jim Kweskin, and they have a great CD together, too.

[@meredithanthraxelrod]

thank you! I just got this

[@Squarerig]

I cannot find the right adjectives with which to describe my admiration of this amazing couple!If music be the food of love:play on Craig and Meredith!!

[@briansinclair4961]

[@Pickernik]

Holey moley!!!! This is wonderful!

[@TheSpikehere]

This is class.

[@PeterzVidz1]

This duo is a two-person twenty piece orchestra!

[@ArnaudLACHAMBRE]

Ça, c'est de la musique! Bravo à vous deux!

[@jt4531]

what a couple dude!

[@ronlowfi]

Insane Good!

[@PortoFrancoRecords]

There's a large window to the right of Meredith. That was the main light. There are a couple of small windows in the darker part of the room, so we got some fill from those, as well as from all the reflections from the off-white walls. Video is shot with two Canon dSLRs with a 70-200mm f2.8 lens on the main camera, and then color corrected slightly in post. The 70-200 gives a great shallow depth of field look.

[@TheEaglefield]

so AWWWESOME!

[@orisonrollins8837]

WONDERFUL! Thank you!

[@Jan_Christian_Gjems]

Great!

[@JoeDaveycrockettsoundlabs]

[@JPHappo]

[@srapinus32]

Magic moments by hearing you! Thanks a lot! :)

[@brunonicolasd.oyarce310]

Sin palabras... excelente jajaja nose, impresionante nada mas que añadir.

[@crustyceant]

wow what a great video and a fuckin awesome songwell done the south street trio are amazing

[@JPHappo]

Superb!!

[@larvalangel]

Craig still has that look on his face, I talked to him when I saw Bo Grumpus in San D twenty some-odd years ago and he described himself as "self loathing" hehe😋

[@stevejaubert2892]

It's a damned shame what baggage we get from life. Maybe a small consolation is it can fuel us for what we do with what we have. Craig is an incredible guitar performer. I know it's some talent but he looks like a guy who found what he loves and worked hard to get where he is.

[@SonBrimmer]

oh my god. guahhghh! that is real.

[@CRISTIANBRUNOFOTO]

GRACIAS

[@TheRamundo]

BRAVISSIMI

[@BabyBoomerChannel]

Rocking the Fraulini.!!!!

[@LucasGonzePersonal]

Great. Really nice to see real videography on their stuff. My one misgiving is that there isn't enough audio separation, so sometimes the mix turns into mud.

[@PortoFrancoRecords]

@Squarerig Our pleasure. Hope to do more with them.

[@PortoFrancoRecords]

@torsbyn Hey. We did 2 or 3 cameras. It was one of our first shoots at our office. Thanks for watching.

[@Dan_Frechette_Songwriter]

This is top shit!

[@torsbyn]

Great performace. Their concentration is captivating as always. This a multi camera work? Has the looks of it. Good to se a video with some ambition...

[@PortoFrancoRecords]

@TheEaglefield Thanks!

[@LucasGonzePersonal]

Too bad but understandable. What were you using for the video, lighting, etc? The photography really works.

[@pedrosaulo1144]

There is a partiture of it?

[@TheClemcaster]

Is this being played in the morning? Because it's not natural to be playing like that first thing.

[@PortoFrancoRecords]

Sorry, man. It's a pretty live room, and back then we only had two 57/58 mics and virtually no recording experience. Cheers.

[@homzymusic]

Wonderful arrangement - especially considering the poor tuning on the original version -

[@floobuscanoobus]

If there is a god these guys would be famous....

[@zeropoleski4360]

ditto squarerig. just dumbfounding, these two.

[@josephlinton8560]

:) :) :) what's to :)

[@PortoFrancoRecords]

@TheEaglefield Thanks!
