We’ll have the next edition of PE Live out on Thursday (we filmed it at ProAbition with Naive Thieves a couple of weeks ago), but here’s another great video from the session we did with The Dangers.
The song, “Flowers and Trees,” features bassist Tim Loughlin on vocals. Songwriter Chris LeRoy penned the tune after meeting a couple at one of the band’s shows that had decided to get married after the husband was in the hospital (he’s fine now). The sweet love story inspired the song.

PE LIVE: The Dangers give goosebumps with “My Someday”

When The Dangers first sent the new album “Gold!!” my way I was impressed by every track, but none more so than the album closer “My Someday.”
Bandleader Chris LeRoy had written the song a few years back and never really had the right place for it. But when Lisa Kekaula, of The BellRays, Bob & Lisa and Lisa and the Lips, joined The Dangers on the new album, he knew the powerful Riverside vocalist had the voice for the song.
LeRoy said that Kekaula and Dangers guitarist Bob Vennum (who is also a member of The BellRays, Bob & Lisa and Lisa and the Lips) had been touring in Australia with The BellRays and when they returned home, Kekaula had barely regained her voice after losing it on tour.
When she recorded the vocal track for “My Someday,” the original intent was to go back and fix it once she regained her voice, but LeRoy loved the vocal and it’s powerful vulnerability so much that the original take is what’s on the album.
I’ve listened to this song dozens of times and it never fails to give me goosebumps. I’m over the moon that we were able to capture it for PE Live when The Dangers played a rollicking set at Hangar 24 in Redlands a couple of weeks back. Right around the 2:45 mark is where the song truly takes flight for me and it was serendipitous that background singers Ralph Torres and Pammy Farragher were in the audience and added that extra oomph to the song.
