March 9, 2015, update: Notre Dame senior James Bishop released a new instrumental composition called "When Mine Is Full of Clouds." Very nice! Check it out here.
Notre Dame Prep senior James Bishop performed four original songs on November 17 for a small group gathered in the main room of the Fr. Colin House, which is where the school's advancement offices are located.
Bishop’s performance was the second of the Notre Dame alumni association's recorded "Colin House Concerts Series" in which Notre Dame students and alumni are invited to play in a small, intimate setting at the school. The performance includes some pretty extraordinary and innovative guitar work by Bishop. A video recording of his performance is available below.
Song selections on video:
1. Fool 0:07
2. Cellar Sins (instrumental 3:54
3. Untitled (instrumental) 6:54
4. Purple Haze 15:04
Bishop, who used to record with a band called “Outside Detroit” with fellow senior Trevor Wood, says he’s excited to get his new original music out to a wider audience.
Notre Dame alum Stephanie Hamood (’10) performed at the Colin House in June. Her performance is available here.
