THE SHINOLAS

Every other Monday Night

7PM-10PM

Formed in 2009, Hartford area musical luminaries Jim Chapdelaine (gtrs), Lorne Entress (drums), Paul Kochanski (bass), and Ed Iarusso (pedal steel), bring a wealth of experience and know-how to their Roots/Americana band The Shinolas. Members have recorded or performed with none other than Les Paul, Phoebe Snow, Lori McKenna, Big Al Anderson, Charlie Musselwhite, Mike Love, Susan Tedeschi, Jon Pousette Dart, Mighty Sam McClain, Catie Curtis, Mark Erelli, Bruce Katz, Vance Gilbert, Ellis Paul, Ronnie Earl, Feathermerchants, Junior Wells, Kim Wilson, Fancy Trash, The Nields, Dave Carter & Tracy Grammer, Henry Butler, Duke Levine, Kris Delmhorst, Erin McKeown, The Story, Swinging Steaks, Ollabelle, and numerous others. And if that weren’t enough, Jim has won twelve (and counting) Emmys composing soundtracks for CPTV.

Over a get-to-know-each-other cup of coffee in 2008, Jim and Lorne came up with the idea of a local off-night residency in the Hartford area--a musical project close to home that would provide a chance to tap into their mutual love for American roots music. The Shinolas “draw their material from the Great American Songbook, an eclectic canon of rock and roll, blues, folk and vintage country music that spans decades. It's not uncommon to hear the band jamming to songs by Merle Haggard, Ryan Adams, Johnny Cash and Neil young.” (Hartford Courant) With Ed and Paul on board the band gelled quickly, winning the Best Country Band of 2009 in the Hartford Advocate. (although pure Country is just a slice of what they do.)

GHOSTS OF JUPITER

Friday, May 11th 2012

While their name suggests specters from light years away, Ghosts of Jupiter are actually cosmically switched-on earthlings with a gift for rock with wide-reaching implications. There’s heft to this Boston-based quintet, who draw inspiration from the muscular, freewheeling hard rock of the 60s/70s and meld it to the serious crush of contemporaries like The Raconteurs, The Black Keys, and Rival Sons. While many have used Cream, Hendrix and their gifted peers as a springboard, Ghosts of Jupiter create music that’s alive in a way that echoes the vibrancy of their ancestors. Put on their self-titled debut to hear a band who believes in rock’s power to explore and rejuvenate; a colorful, tough and tight ride into the outer reaches of the mind.

WAYLON SPEED

&

DIRTY SANCHEZ

Saturday, May 12th 2012

The press has called Waylon Speed “gas on the fire of the current music scene” and “heavy, fiery country rock, for those who like their punk rock with some twang in it – but also appreciate high quality, intelligent songwriting.”
Ask Waylon Speed what it seeks from its stained-blue-collar, straight-up-from-the-underground rock, and the answer is simple: make people happy. The evidence is at their aim-to-please shows, where audience connection is a priority.

There is nothing quite like Dirty Sanchez. The connecticut-based power-jam band is wow-ing audiences with their energetic and eclectic mix of rock styles, humorous lyrics, and effects driven jamming. Imagine if Phish, Zappa, and Pink Floyd had a three-way and the result was a lovechild, and that lovechild started dating Wilco and got pregnant but had to bring They Might Be Giants and Primus on the Maury show to find out who's the baby's daddy. Well, the kid picking his nose on the screen behind Maury would be Dirty Sanchez.

SUN JONES

Saturday, May 26th 2012

Sun Jones is a high-spirited original Roots Rock band out of Boston Ma. With three distinctive singer/songwriters working and writing together, Sun Jones has become a musical entity greater than the sum of its parts. Chris Nemitz (guitar and vocals), John Vanderpool (saxophone, flute and vocals), Charley Carrozo (guitar and vocals), Jeremy Esposito (drums and percussion) and Jay Sullivan (bass and vocals) have created a big, original rock sound with a hopeful message bursting with raw energy.
The music of Sun Jones stretches the boundaries of traditional categories like Roots Rock, Funk and Americana to the point where this crossover appeal meets itself full circle leaving the listener inspired by the simplicity of life affirming energy that can only come from honest music and heartfelt lyrics.

BILLY MARTIN

AND

WIL BLADES

DUO

Thursday, July 5th 2012

 

Billy Martin and Wil Blades wanna make you Shimmy. The organ/drums duo waste no time getting right down to it on their debut album due May 22 from The Royal Potato Family in collaboraton with Martin's own Amulet Records. Martin and Blades go old school in the tradition of essential organ-groove sides by the likes of Charles Earland, Brother Jack McDuff and Groove Holmes. Martin, the drummer for the legendary Medeski, Martin & Wood, and Blades, a much buzzed about young organist from the San Francisco live music scene, first came together for a low-key, one-off late night set during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2011. The music that evening was so deep in the pocket that the pair knew instantly there would be more shows together in their future. A West Coast tour was arranged for later in the year, which played to packed houses from Washington to California. In the middle of the run, Martin and Blades ducked into a Berkeley recording studio to capture what would become Shimmy.

Check out this great duo online here:
