COMING JULY 20 from OAK HONEST RECORDS
Reviewers preview laid out in track order below!
DYLAN BRODY renowned humorist and spoken wordsmith
Dylan Brody’s literary comedy Condemned to the life of a writer, this man has faithfully served the sentence for more than forty-years. If language were music, his paragraphs would be jazz played by a classical pianist, all the wrong notes played perfectly.
AVAILABLE NOW AT OAK HONEST RECORDS and wherever music is streamed.
Los Angeles based Active Voice Productions has joined forces with New England’s Oak Honest Records to release Dylan Brody's next album, Road Tested, a partnership with singer-songwriter Chauncey Bowers. Brody is an established humorist, comedian, author, and playwright. His work has been featured on numerous outlets, including: Sirius XM, NBC’s The Tonight Show, The Huffington Post, A&E’s Comedy on the Road, and others.
Brody uses stand up-style storytelling to bring humor and insight, literate and literary, to a broad based audience. His work is as relatable as it is clever, equally at home in the everyday and the outrageous. This is part of what distinguishes him from other comedic creatives. In short, he puts the wise in wise guy. Dylan Brody Chauncey Bowers
In this, his first collaborative album, Brody allows music to both inform and support his spoken word work, giving Bowers center stage when appropriate to build a full, rich two-man performance that explores the interplay between music and speech, lyricism and language.
Oak Honest Records recognizes in Road Tested the spirit of authentic creative expression. The coming digital release, a live recording, celebrates of the intersection of life, humor, and music. From the bright language of Mr. Brody to the music and lyrics of Los Angeles based Garage-Folk musician Chauncey Bowers, the entire album casts light via metaphor, sarcasm, and story.
Listeners can find Road Tested across streaming platforms on release day, July 20, 2022!

CHAUNCEY BOWERS music and lyrics
Chauncey Bowers’ post-grunge humanist folk music If the best of humanity wrapped itself in a few simple chords, and then winked at you before revealing that the chords are more complex than you realized and the humanity wrapped in them was your own, there’s an 89% chance this man has been performing in the vicinity.
Musical genius and impossibly wonderful human Cynthia Carle appears on the track “I Am Boring” and provided her own spoken-word text.
Recorded live at Old Oak Cellars. Engineered and mixed by Logan Heftel. At an event produced by Dana Charnofsky
