Every Sunday

“Scheme a Dream” (Spaboop) — EverySunday

Like many young musicians, Keith Tasker, George Gervais and Scott Lambert honed their skills by playing other people’s music. Now, older and wiser, they’re thrilled to be creating a sound of their own.

That exhilaration comes through on EverySunday’s debut album, “Scheme a Dream.” The trio isn’t worried about being trendy. Instead they’ve developed an enchanting blend of acoustic blues, jazz, rock and funk, which they use to look at the problems of everyday life.

They examine troubled relationships, common fodder for many artists, on the songs “Next to You,” “Which Way,” “Can’t Bear Anymore” and “This Game.”

But the group also highlights the isolation of man in a continually more automated and soulless society on the title tune as well as “The Label” and the Southern rock ballad “Wanted Man.” “Don’t Hang Up” is a call for greater societal harmony.

The songs featuring just Tasker on lead vocals and guitar, Lambert on drums and harmony vocals and Gervais on bass have a stark, haunting quality. But they also opt for a fuller sound, adding the horn section of Sean Potter (saxophone), Steve L’Heureaux (trombone) and Matthew Lawson (trumpet) to “Which Way,” “Scheme a Dream” and “Don’t Hang Up” and pianist Thomas Snow on “Next to You.”

As EverySunday is a part-time band, it promises to be a good while before the trio’s next album. But “Scheme a Dream” is a propitious beginning the band.
