Steve Brockley Band w The Dunlop Brothers: October 21
Steve Brockley Band: Friday, October 21. 8:00pm. $15 at the door. $10 All Artists/Students. “These are songs that other songwriters talk about, and musicians that other musicians talk about.” Leon Power’s beats combined with Kevin Bertram’s double bass swagger make a low-down groove while Steve Brockley’s finger-picked electric guitar tactics and whiskey-blend vocals deliver some honest songs from the heart and guts. Encounter the truly infectious Steve Brockley experience. “His album, crafted in the riff-filled, storytelling tradition of legends like Johnny Cash, is beyond his years.” This is our fourth Steve Brockley concert. Steve is a remarkable songwriter; one of those singers whose every word we strain to hear because those words are so entertaining and fitting that you don’t want to miss a one. But even if you didn’t hear a single sentence, this three-piece band is so tight and original that the music alone would satisfy. www.myspace.com/stevebrockley Appearing with Steve and the band are the local Dunlop Brothers. Justin Dunlop, as a bassist/multi-instrumentalist, has played with a number of local groups. He is now introducing his own songs with his band, featuring the moody and ambient guitar playing of his brother Matt Dunlop, and the dig-deep soulful drumming of Mike Ardagh.
