roc-elle records

We could not be more thrilled to exclusively distribute the Soundtrack to David Grubin’s film Downtown Express, starring the inimitable Nellie McKay and Grammy nominee Philippe Quint. Emmy-winning composer Michael Bacon (and brother/bandmate of Kevin in The Bacon Brothers) co-write the original compositions w/ McKay. Quint contributes beautiful classical renditions of Raff and Tchaikovsky. The album is released June 25th, and we will celebrate the night before MON 6/24 at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theatre near Astor Place. Check out the first single Ain’t No Train on iTunes, or pre-order the album now on Bandcamp!
