Thursday May 15 He's New Orleans' hometown Blues legend!
I'm From Phunkville "Before the release of his 1995 debut, A Cab Driver's Blues, guitarist/singer/songwriter Mem Shannon had never been outside of New Orleans. For decades, Shannon had driven a taxi and played gigs on the side, but all that changed when folks outside of the Big Easy began to take notice. Since then, recognition from high-brow media outlets like NPR and shows among blues' elite at The Kennedy Center and Montreal Jazz Festival have taken Mem Shannon far beyond his hometown. Shannon's showcases his deep, soulful voice, smokin' guitar work, and insightful lyrics that have lifted this former cabbie to buzzworthy status. The super tight backing outfit helps flesh out a bluesy, funky, jazzy sound that perfectly supports Shannon's wizened pipes. But make no mistake: Shannon is a true guitar monster, whose expressive, soaring electric guitar playing makes the whole package complete. When his equally expressive voice takes a break from telling colorful stories about love, prison, politicians, the general struggles of life, and even baseball, Shannon's guitar picks up the thread seamlessly, his fingers effortlessly filling in the emotional blanks between the lyrical lines. -Paul Rosner Jam BAse says- They've shared bills with John Scofield, Toots & The Maytals, Gov't Mule, Josh Kelley, Junior Brown, Kim Richey, Branford Marsalis, Paul Cebar & The Milwaukeeans, Buckwheat Zydeco, Walter Trout, Karl Denson, Taj Mahal, Galactic, Robert Cray and many more. They tour constantly and have played most of the premier blues and roots festivals (King Biscuit, Montreal Jazz Fest, Kansas City Jazz & Blues Fest, Monterey Bay Blues Fest, Kerrville Folk Festival...), while headlining clubs night after night across the US and into Canada, Europe and Australia. Though they were also presented in Hong Kong by the House of Blues and in Venezuela by the U.S. Embassy, and were part of an all-star tribute to Muddy Waters at The Kennedy Center for a televised special for PBS and NHK/Japan. This year they played the huge Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle featuring diverse bands like Nickleback, Nas, The Pixies and Koko Taylor. They also played the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, an event that includes B.B. King, Gov't Mule and Greg Allman. Not bad for a former cab driver.

Later on that same night "She's the sexiest singer I've seen since Ricki Lee Jones..." News Gazette "She tore through vintage rock, blues-inflected tunes, jazz-informed numbers and even a few choice covers - JJ Cale and Hank Williams, among others. The Virginia-based singer's debut album Too Young to Sing the Blues taps into a similar vein, and should find fans with those into Dylan and Waits, as well as Ricki Lee Jones" "Arum's country blues is more at home in the hood than the honky tonk. Rae has an astonishing vocal range and aided by world class musicians: Todd Sickafoose on upright bass (Ani Difranco), drummer Andrew Borger (Tom Waits, Norah Jones), Larry Saltzman (Paul Simon) on electric and slide guitar and Geralde Menke on pedal steel. Recorded in Brooklyn, New York at Bushwick Studios, produced by Michael Bongiorno, another from Ani's team, and Steve West, former member of Pavement, and now producer of Silver Jews.
"Rarely do I find women musicians that great, but this woman, Arum Rae, is a stunning talent. She's a phenomenal singer and guitar player. Honestly she gets plugged by me because she's one in a million." - Paul from Barefoot Radio
Tuesday May 20th Peter Case
After his tenure in the proto- power pop band the Nerves and following the dissolution of his early-'80s Los Angeles rock & roll band the Plimsouls, Peter Case launched a career as an influential American singer/songwriter specializing in finger-picked acoustic guitar and redemptive story-songs about society's outcasts and drifters, delivered in a uniquely soulful, folk-rock style. Case's secret weapon is his powerhouse voice; combined with his imaginative and visionary songwriting and his ability to blow real harmonica licks, he's well-respected among his peers and a perennial favorite among serious listeners. By the turn of the century, longevity was working in his favor as he continued to set the bar for contemporary singer/songwriter music. opening "ABSOLUTELY FANFUCKINGTASTIC....orgasmic...your music stands up to its claim and THEN SOME..." - UK ARTISTS "LIVE"
AMERICANA / POWERPOP / FOLK ROCK Mike Allen Rhythm/Vox ( Jericho Turnpike ) Todd Thurman Lead/Vox (Hollywood Records' - Alien Fashion Show ) Todd is from L.A. but moved to Cleveland in 2000 Nick Perry Drums/Percussion ( Paranoid Lovesick and SuperKreme ) Derek Poindexter Bass ( The Waynes and SuperKreme and countless others!!) Cleveland , Ohio's, Pale Hollow effortlessly combines elements of roots-rock folk with the restless urgency of a rustbelt garage band. Their hook filled songs are modern, melodic and catchy, yet anchored by the solid rock and pop traditions of the 60's and 70's. Each band member brings a unique element to the mix, resulting in an alchemy of sound and style that is sure to please fans of the folk/rock/power-pop genre. Inspired by the posh blues of Nick Drake and the woodsy jangle of Gram Parsons era Byrds, ex Jericho Turnpike bassist, Michael Allen, bought an acoustic guitar and started writing songs to perform in local coffee houses around Cleveland . Armed with a batch of demos, he went to Detroit to record an album with producer Al Sutton (Kid Rock, Detroit Cobras ). The resulting record was a shimmering blend of Alt-Country/Folk-Pop, with shades of British Invasion thrown in for color. With comparisons to The Kinks , R.E.M and Donovan, the self-titled release, Pale Hollow, has since gained the praise of critics and fans alike. Allen, however, needed a band to help bring this music to a live audience. Back in Cleveland singer/guitarist Todd Thurman (Alien Fashion Show) and drummer Nick Perry (Paranoid Lovesick) were busy in Thurman's attic bashing out their own version of the blissful power pop most associated with the likes of Alex Chilton and Teenage Fanclub. Thurman, a singer/songwriter in his own rite, and Perry were looking for players to round out their musical vision. When they came across Allen's music on Myspace they noticed he hadn't listed any band mates. As fate would have it, these two musical entities were brought together, and now, with Bassist Derek Poindexter(The Waynes), are beginning to make their presence known within the music scene at large. With a music video in post-production, Pale Hollow is poised to becoming a musical force that can't be ignored. (We were formerly,"The Black Amps") +
At 32, Chris Castle may be one of the midwest's best kept secrets. Few upcoming artists have done their homework as thoroughly as Castle. If there are blueprints to creating lasting melodies & unpretentious lyrics, he seems to have found them.

"Their acoustic music with a streak of old-timer flavor appeals to those who like the female camraderie and harmonies of the Indigo Girls, but are looking for something with a bit more weirdness, humor and range..." --Anastasia Pantsios Opening
The Elderly Brothers (the band, not the brothers themselves) formed in the spring of 2001, under the assumption that guys in bands get all the hot chicks. They were later to learn that the guys in bands who get the hot chicks don't, as a rule, worry about things like high blood-pressure, high cholesterol, fallen arches, lower-back pain, and even lower self-esteem. Like many of the guys in the bands that get the hot chicks, the Elderly Brothers take lots of drugs. Sadly, these drugs are prescribed to treat the aforementioned aliments, and offer little recreational value. The Elderly Brothers perform a variety of songs that, mostly by pure coincidence, involve trucks, trains, the consumption of alcohol, and the various forms of heartbreak, including marriage and the termination thereof. Their repertoire leans heavily toward the musical genre known as Americana, drawing on 50s rock 'n roll, 60s pop music, 70s country rock, folk, traditional country, alternative country, blues, jazz, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, fallen arches, lower-back pain, and even lower self-esteem.

+ From Athens, Ohio it's
a multi-faceted five piece organic/electronic hybrid that is quickly catching fire. They craftfully combine elements of rock, electronica, jazz, jam, dance and improvisational styles in an interesting and captivating manner.

Friday June 20 Roots/Country Singer Songwriter and ex-Spirit of the West member
Emmet Matheson, No Depression, US Roots Magazine - The way McRae delivers the hard-knock facts of life smacks more of deliverance from, rather than resignation to, disappointment. Hoot and Holler is as close as alt-country gets to Peggy Lee. McRae's warmly powerful voice is the bedrock of this album. With one foot in the real world and one in Western folklore, Cryin' Out Loud proves that being well-balanced and interesting aren't musically exclusive.
Tuesday June 24
