Seeking: Manager
Style: Folk, Singer-songwriter
Singer, songwriter, guitarist Richard Marchetta laments on “R.I.P.H.O.B. Sunset” about the now-demolished House of Blues in Hollywood, highlighting his impressive finger-picking and slide guitar skills. “Going To Light Up The Bowl”—Hollywood Bowl and El Rey Theater also have love letter tracks—is the only piece featuring piano and different instruments than other solo acoustic works.
“Griffith Park is Burning Up” showcases Marchetta’s peak lyricism. “Sage Brush Funeral Pyre” and “Aerials Splash Manna From Heaven” are gentler ways to address L.A. wildfires. Despite its proficient material, recordings, and playing, Angels and Aerials has an overall demo-quality. Given its solo nature (with a team of producers), we anticip-ate what a full band and richer production layers will offer.
