About les
acts!
|
Brownbird Rudy
Relic is a badass
blues shouter, a minimalist playing breakdowns of broken dreams and dark county
rags that shake, shimmy and bust at the seams. His hollers are soaked in
gasoline and set a flame with oxygen added by the stomp of his feet and pomp
of his guitar.
|
Anna Copacabanna is an Australian former showgirl
who sings original songs she composes about America while accompanying herself
on xylophone. She is backed by her punk band of total miscreants, the MG5.
|
Ukulele
Lloyd is a freakin'
rockstar. Think Mick Jagger in a loudshirt meets Jimmy Page playing a ukulele
with a wah pedal. With his band My Pocket Zoo he plays original hits such
as "Ukulele Boy Band," "George Best," and more. I can't say enough about how
much these guys freakin' rock. Lloyd is so badass he's been banned from the
country's main uke festival for being a disturbance!
|
Banjorama!
is a banjorcentric
blues orchestra dedictated to the banjification of the universe. The band
is composted of 3 former Brooklyn Jugs, Ernesto Gomez on vox, harp and 5-string
banjo, Terrence McCafferty on tenor banjo, Arturo Style on jug, as well as
Black Cow's Kurt Schlachter on Washtub bass and ubiquitious tramp Alex Battles
on tenor banjo and vox.
Come on out and say farewell to Ernesto as he moving on to his own thang,
the Brotherhood of the Jug Band Blues!
