C.R. AVERY with THE WEBER BROTHERS! Saturday, October 5: 8:00. Admission: $20.00 adv. $25 @ door /$15.00 adv. students/artists/seniors $20 @ door. CR Avery: Outlaw Hip-Hop Harmonica Player, Beatbox Poet, Punk Piano Player, String Quartet Raconteur, Rock & Roll Matador, Playwright. C.R. Avery is a unique, raw, and dynamic performer. His genius lies in many genres – blues, hip-hop, spoken word and rock & roll. He is a one-man band, but one for this generation; with the rare ability to sing poetic verse while beatboxing simultaneously while pounding the piano and adding harmonica like a plot twist. To put the incredible live performance of CR with the equally astonishing WEBER BROTHERS, WOW. There are bands for which rock and roll is a lifestyle, and then there are bands for which it is life. Ten years ago the legendary Ronnie Hawkins, duly impressed by the pair’s immense raw talent, invited them to audition for his storied backing band, The Hawks. They survived the intense musical apprenticeship of his fabled “Rock ‘n’ Roll Bootcamp,” and six self-released albums later, the Webers have spread their wings, shared the stage with icons like Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, Leon Russell, Derek Trucks and Kris Kristofferson, and toured extensively throughout the US, Canada, and Europe. Fusing the stomping country rock learned at Hawkins’ knee with the brothers’ own love of pop music in all its splendor, from gorgeous “Pet Sounds”/ “White Album” vocal harmonies to blacktop-burning 50’s rockabilly, full-throated Crazy Horse anthems to classic corner group doo-wop. Tightly focused in execution yet epic in scope. http://www.cravery.com/ http://www.weberbrothers.com/ Listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3npGmpsL4v8
