The Weal and the Woe at Barbes, Thursday April 14 at 8 PM
Jason Cade of The Weal and the Woe writes that the band will play Barbes Brooklyn tomorrow night, Thursday April 14th. The Weal and the Woe presents “vintage country, gospel classics and close harmony from a faraway time. Drawing from the deep well of country “brother” duets from the middle third of the twentieth century, they sing songs of love and loss, drinkin’ and cheatin’, Old Time Religion and life back home in the Gowanus Valley-including vintage classics as well as newly penned originals.”
Check out this excellent group in this intimate venue- a great Thursday night. They are followed by Andy Statman, on at 10 pm.
Shows, Shows, Shows….
Here are some shows you should try to check out in April:
On Saturday, April 9th at 10 pm you can catch a great regular gig at Barbes Brooklyn. Smokey Hormel is probably best known for his works with Beck, Tom Waits and his Brazilian project with Miho Hatori. He’s also been playing western swing for timequite some and his new project is inspired by the sounds of Milton Brown and his musical brownies and other Western Swing classics.
Friday, April 22 at 7:30 PM at Joe’s Pub you can hear Cowboy Jack Clement, nothing short of a legend whose influence has spread over a half-century of American music.
Thursday, April 28 at 8 pm Southpaw and BrooklynCountry.com is proud to host Dom Flemons of Carolina Chocolate Drops, recipients of this year’s Grammy for Best Traditional Folk Album with for album “Genuine Negro Jig”. The show will also feature performances by the Newton Gang, Five Deadly Venoms leader Elio Schiavo, Jalopy supergroup The Whiskey Spitters, and Gangstagrass.
If you haven’t seen Howard Fishman, he’s a great guitarist playing with a great band that draws from folk and jazz sources such as Django Reinhardt, Charley Patton and Ralph Stanley and filters them through the gritty sensibility of a latter day Lou Reed. He’ll be at Barbes Brooklyn 10:00 PM this Saturday, June 5th. Fishman has three new albums out this year- “BETTER GET RIGHT” is inspired by New Orleans. The other two are “NO FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS” and `THE WORLD WILL BE DIFFERENT”.
