We taped two great shows in December:
557) 12/11/12 The Whiskey Spitters - The Fabulous Jalopy Theatre's own house band is a collection of musicians, luthiers, basement dwellers & Red Hook residents playing blues, rags & jugband numbers; Songs of boozing, bootlegging & illicit gardening. Jackson Lynch (Guitar & Fiddle), Geoff Wiley (Upright Bass & Banjo-Uke), Luis Betancourt (Guitar & Mandolin), Ernie Vega (Mandolin, Harmonica, Guitar & Tenor Banjo), Chloe Swantner (Fiddle, Accordion & Mandolin) https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Whiskey-Spitters/287909471270666?fref=ts
558) 12/11/12 The Four O’clock Flowers - Samoa Wilson on Vocals and Ernie Vega on Vocals, Guitar & Harmonica. They perform stark versions of Country Blues, Gospel-blues, Old-Time, & Jazz classics (as well as original compositions) that are stripped down to their barest elements. Sounding like ghosts from a by-gone era, they illustrate the simple elegant power of these great songs. https://www.facebook.com/thefouroclockflowers
Upcoming:
559) 1/17/13 6:45 Dan Pelletier - Inside of three minutes he will make you laugh, cry, ache and sigh...his storytelling is rife with passion and humor, truth and aspiration...the winner of several major songwriting awards, he never fails to find that little something extra in any song that leaves you wholly satisfied http://www.sonicbids.com/2/EPK/?epk_id=24327
560) 1/17/13 8:00 Litvakus - band brings to life often overlooked Belarusian and Litvak (Belarusian-Lithuanian) Jewish musical heritage— through the prism of their research of the North-Eastern Europe’s music and the wide variety of their own cultural backgrounds. Backed by generations of klezmorim and muzyki, Litvakus are extending the bridge to the modern audiences worldwide, making the old sound new and fresh, hip and meaningful, for the sake of the future of the millennial legacy http://www.goldenland.com/litvakus.htm
