Originally scheduled to air on Sept 14th, 2011, the show was aired on Sept 7th 2011. Needless to say James Sera is ecstatic, "I've been listening to Sideways Through Sound for a good couple of years and I can honestly say they play some of my favorite artists around and to be the feature, I am so honored, grateful and it feels really good emotionally, spiritually." Sera says about the episode "It was great to hear Thee Sonic Assassin talk about the album and the songs. I also love the fact that they played the Page/Plant No Quarter version of "The Battle of Evermore" and then later played Zep's "In the Evening" to close out the set that was started out with my song "In the Evening," as usual it was a great mix of really great music, from some really great artists." We hope you enjoy all 90 minutes of this great radio show. http://www.sendspace.com/file/lw58nl Reality of the Fantasy now available on Bandcamp.

Feel free to enjoy. http://jamessera.bandcamp.com/ First look at Art Work For Reality of the Fantasy We are proud to announce the cover artwork for the debut album by James Sera. The artwork has been an evolving project by artist Teri Proschuk . "To have art that captures the essence of the music was really important to me," Sera says. "I think it gives the listener a glimpse of what the story of the album is all about." Sera believes the painting much like the music should be a personal interpretation. The painting portrays Sera sitting all alone, by himself on a deserted island under the moonlight. Playing his guitar to the vast openness of the infinite ocean in stormy weather. The powerful use of the color blue, which in the english language is the symbol of sadness while the storm can be interpreted as the inner struggles when facing the obstacles that life has given us. In Greek mythology Zeus made it rain when he was sad (crying), and a storm when he was angry. There is also the question is Sera causing the force with his guitar to his surroundings or is the force from the storm and his surroundings closing in on him? While this painting is based upon fantasy, there is always an underlying Reality of the Fantasy. SOON TO BE ANNOUNCED UPCOMING SPRING AND SUMMER DATES
