NICE REVIEW OF BRIDGE MUSIC IN YANKEE TAVERN
The use of Bridge Music in the Barn Theatre’s production of Yankee Tavern garnered this nice review: Special note is in order regarding the very effective mood music titled “Bridge Music.” The unique sound was created by Joseph Bertolozzi, a percussion genius, who literally “played” one of the upper Hudson River bridges (you can sample it at www.https://josephbertolozzi.com). by Rick Busciglio… Read more →
