This Chico, CA based group brings a brand new sound while embracing the nature of roots reggae wholeheartedly and performing it with smooth vocals/harmonies, energetic freestyles and beat-boxing, all over a solid groove. The music and lyrics are catchy and upbeat, yet with an uplifting, positive message. The musicianship of the players is top notch and arrangements are often complex and always interesting. Now fronted by Katherine Ramirez (American Idol Season 7), the new sound is a blend of soft, beautiful vocal lines reinforced by hard hitting Roots Rock Reggae grooves by the bass, drums, keys and guitar (Dane-Jah, A-Dub, cootdog & Nixon). Cootdog remains the hip-hop influence with socially conscious lyrics, deep beat boxing and harmony vocals. The band tours the U.S. full-time, playing shows with some of the biggest names in reggae, hip hop, and rock. MRB promotes positivity and spreads a conscious message while still having a good time and keeping the party going. Open dance floor! There is a $19 cover.

CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: AN EVENING WITH JAMES BURTON

James Burton and his band (Jeff Burton, Jon Paris, Dave Keyes, Tony Garnier & Shawn Pelton) will perform atIRIDIUM JAZZ CLUB (1650 Broadway, NYC - 212-582-2121) on Friday, August 9th with shows at 8:00 & 10:00 pm. The Rolling Stones' 100 Greatest Guitarists of all time, places him at #19! James Burton's trademark "chicken pickin'" style - bright, crisp and concise - is one of the most unique sounds in country music, and a huge influence on rock guitar as well. Burton got his start when he was 14, writing "Susie Q," for Dale Hawkins, and became a teenage star when he joined Ricky Nelson's band in 1957. With Nelson, Burton created his distinct technique: He used a fingerpick and a flatpick, and replaced the four highest strings on his Telecaster with banjo strings, so that his guitar snapped, popped and stuttered. In the late Sixties and Seventies, he convened Elvis' TCB band and became a go-to guy on country-minded records by Joni Mitchell and Gram Parsons, and still tours today. There is a $37.50 cover plus a $15 food/drink minimum.

CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: "WILLING TO BE LUCKY - SONGS OF NEW YORK" WITH HILARY GARDNER

CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: "WILLING TO BE LUCKY - SONGS OF NEW YORK" WITH HILARY GARDNER

Acclaimed singer Hilary Gardner will return to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Friday, August 9th at 7:00 pm. Hilary grew up in Wasilla, Alaska infatuated with New York City. The city came to life through the jazz and American songbook albums in her parents' record collection. Visions gleaned from those classic vinyl platters epitomized reinvention and feverish creativity, and inspired Hilary to make New York City her home. In 2010, Hilary went from waiting tables to making her Broadway debut in two-time Tony-award winner Twyla Tharp's hit musical, Come Fly Away. Backed by a 19-piece big band, Hilary sang solos and duets with Frank Sinatra (by recording) in a performance hailed by critics. Willing to Be Lucky: Songs of New York takes its title from E.B. White's iconic 1948 essay, Here is New York, in which White sagely counsels the reader, "No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky." With a program of songs both urban and urbane by composers like Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Nellie McKay, and Dave Frishberg, among others, Hilary celebrates New York's many complexities, contradictions, and moments of unexpected beauty. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
