BOSTON: THE DUSTBOWL REVIVAL AT THE REGATTABAR
The Dustbowl Revival, a Venice, California-based collective that merges old school bluegrass, gospel, jug-band, swamp blues and the hot swing of the 1930's to form a spicy roots cocktail, will perform at THE REGATTABAR at the Charles Hotel (1 Bennett Street, Cambridge, MA - 617-395-7757) on Thursday, June 19th at 7:30 pm. Known for their inspired live sets, the Dustbowl Revival boldly brings together many styles of traditional American music. Growing steadily from a small string band playing up and down the west coast (hundreds shows in the last two years), DBR has blossomed into a traveling collective featuring instrumentation that often includes fiddle, mandolin, trombone, clarinet, trumpet, banjo, accordion, tuba, pedal steel, drums, guitars, a bass made from a canoe oar, harmonica and plenty of washboard and kazoo for good luck. With an enthusiastic and growing national following, DBR released their first LP "You Can't Go Back To The Garden of Eden" to rave reviews. Their tune "Dan's Jam", received Americana Song Of The Year honors by the Independent Music Awards (Tom Waits, Ozzy Osbourne judging). The group has placed songs in several independent films and TV projects including "Made In China" (IFC) which won SXSW, and in an upcoming episode of FOX's AMERICAN IDOL. National radio play includes LA's KCRW and KCSN, Austin's KGSR, SF's KPFA and Seattle's taste-making KEXP. There is a $20 cover.
TORONTO: TORONTO JAZZ FESTIVAL: MARK McLEAN FEATURING KELLYLEE EVANS
One of the most dynamic and versatile studio and touring drummers in the jazz, R&B and pop realms over the past 15 years, Mark McLean, will perform atTHE JAZZ BISTRO (251 Victoria Street, Toronto, ONT, CA - 416-363-5299) on Thursday through Saturday, June 19th through 31st at 8:00 pm. McLean had a single criterion when it came time to expand his horizons beyond the groove and record his long awaited breakout as a powerhouse composer and lyricist: it had to Feel Alright. In an industry that often prefers pigeonholing to expansive creative expression, the multi-talented artist breaks all the rules on this eclectic 11 track CD, sharing his love for everything from old school soul, down and dirty blues/funk and traditional jazz to Southern folk-pop with a zydeco twist, Rat Pack-like swing, edgy pop/rock and New Orleans brass band music. While a complete one-eighty in vibe and vision, Feel Alright is the follow-up to McLean's acclaimed 2010 indie recording Playground, an all-instrumental showcase for his band of the same name whose tracks earned significant airplay on both traditional jazz and urban jazz stations. The new album is produced by Grammy winning engineer and producer Steve Bigas, well known for his previous work with Taj Mahal and Ziggy Marley and for his long association with Daniel Lanois. Tickets: $30 MUST BE PURCHASED FROM TICKETMASTER or by calling 1-855-985-5000.
