HOT FUN
IN THE
SUMMER TIME
BOTH ILLUMINATING AND EFFORTLESSLY ACCESSIBLE, Amy
Speace and the Tearjerks make tunes with lots of sad country twang,
a dollop of folk and just a smidge of pop. An award-winning
songwriter, Speace's works are soft and seductive, yet witty
and street smart. She'll be here with the Tearjerks on July
7, joined by Marc
Douglas Berado. Just imagine Bruce Springsteen
stories as Glen Frey of The Eagles would tell them and you
get the picture.
The Wagon Riders return on July 9, for one of their first
live appearances in a long while. Jim Aveni and "Diamond" Jay
Russell pair up to rock-a-bye-baby you into an alt-country
groove with the music of Gram Parsons, Bob Dylan, the Byrds,
and more. Lovecraft ink slinger and vintage vinyl aficionado
DJ Jah Octopus will be here to keep the love alive throughout
the evening.
The Cavemen
Go are one of our favorite purveyors of all
things pop. They celebrate the long awaited release of their
latest CD here on July 10. Northampton’s Rub Wrongways Records
is home to a litany of super-indie-psych-pop groups that
like to play in the sun, crossing arms and spinning together
‘til they all fall down. In what we shall call The
Rub Wrongways Caravan of Stars, members of the Bourgeois Heroes, School
for the Dead, The Fawns and Sitting Next to Brian will come
together in one night of unified “twanglepop" happiness
- join the fun.
We always love having the Bee Hive Queen back in her rightful
place, rockin’and rollin’ in our living room with Rebel Montez.
Christine
Ohlman will be here to bring you the beehive and
blues on July 11. Be sure to catch one of R & B’s greatest
legends for a dynamic performance that is always sure to
torch the stage.
One of the coolest shows we’ve booked in a while - watch
out, Felice
Brothers fans, they are coming to the Nine on
July 12 for an intimate, early evening show. Drawing from
a old time ease, epic narratives, and a modern wit, The Felice
Brothers are one of today’s most promising acts. While gaining
national momentum, The Bros. continue to dazzle and amaze
crowds, young and old, with their gritty Americana, storytelling
song-craft which paints pictures of life in the Ozarks as
easily as they do the boardwalks of Coney Island. Don’t miss
this up-close-and-personal event! Show starts at 9 pm SHARP.
Grammy Award-winner Dave
Alvin and his all-female band of
virtuosos, The Guilty Women, take our stage on July 14. Alvin’s
lyrics tell stories that evoke a time, a place, a person
that we’ve all known. Add to that the layers and harmonies
and experience of the rest of the group and you’ve got something
to feel guilty for missing. This is another early one, kicking
off at 8 pm.
For fans of Don Cab, Maps & Atlases, Manic Productions
presents a night of math rock on July 16 with Pattern
is Movement. With a sound spanning the sonic gaps between artists
like Questlove and Radiohead, Pattern is Movement create
joyful theatrics, like an indie cabaret or hipster musical.
Upon first listen, you'd swear the songs of Justin
Townes Earle were penned on the stoop of a one-pump filling station
in dust bowl-era Oklahoma, or the smoke-filled song and dream
factories of Tin Pan Alley, or at the back door of Tootsie's
Orchid Lounge in Nashville. Justin effortlessly taps the
romanticism imbued in the beaten-soled travelogues and mythos
of Woody Guthrie. Honing his live performance playing in
his father Steve's band as a teenager, Justin is no stranger
to the stage or the song. He’ll be here on July 17 with Prine
influenced folk-rockers Birdcage, and local roots hero Paul
Panamarenko.
On July 18, check out Puerto Rican punk pop from Davila
666. Davila’s taking the states by storm this summer on a
power house tour, ripping through clubs with a New York Doll’s
pulse and an Iggy haze. American tour mates, Mannequin
Men,
join the evening with a garage flavored style similar to
the Replacements. New Haven’s own Murdervan round out the
bill.
Get your pads and pencils ready because Dr.
Sketchy’s Anti Art School is back in session on July 19. We’ll host another
hot-and-heavy night of art, burlesque, and booze, as they
casually mingle among the sketchiest of performers, voyeurs,
models and masquerade. Interspersed with posing are comedy
skits and ridiculous drawing contests. This event has been
gaining huge momentum so get here early for a good seat.
Reeves Gabrels arrives on July 21 for a rescheduled, rare
New Haven appearance. A Grammy-nominated guitarist/songwriter/producer,
Gabrels is best known for both his work with David Bowie
and his aggressive guitar style that combines the visceral
energy of rock, the harmonic sophistication of jazz, the
emotional honesty of blues and country, and an ear for the
unusual.
We’ll celebrate Aeroplane
1929’s CD release with a kick-off
party on July 22. Exploring folk, rock and roll, and alt-country
textures and combining them into something satisfyingly original,
Aeroplane 1929 is one of New Haven’s brightest coming-of-age
acts. Four piece alt-country/aggressive-folk band Sidewalk
Dave will be here to conjure up a rowdy and celebratory start
to the evening. Aeroplane’s CD is free with admission.
Stiff Records recording artists Wreckless
Eric and Amy Rigby bring their unified tour l’amour here on July 23. It turns
out Wreckless Eric's found the girl he's been searching the
world for - Amy Rigby, the gritty goddess behind "Diary
of a Mod Housewife." And now they're touring in support
of the album they've made together. Local legends The
Reducers will be here to support touting their first ever all acoustic,
live performance.
Fat Possum recording artist T
Model Ford slips in through
the side door on July 24. Ford’s got a legacy, stompin’ and
whoopin’ the guitar into submission for most of his life.
Now three-quarters of a century old and with a dislocated
hip, he’s still cussing, fighting, and out drinking men a
quarter his age. Don’t miss this legendary bluesman and his
band taking the stage for an unforgettable night of authentic
Delta Blues!!! |
