The Debauchery Series: Episode 3 at Jalopy Friday, May 20th
The Debauchery Series, episode 3: Lust is in the Air… It’s Spring and even educated fleas are doing it. Come to The Jalopy Theater in Brooklyn this Friday, May 20th at 9 pm to hear New York’s finest traditional musicians perform songs about what’s on everyone’s mind. By the end of the night, you’ll be sure to know what a “Jelly Roll” is.
The series is hosted by The Whistling Wolves, who believe in having good old-fashioned dirty fun. That’s why they’ve partnered up to bring the top musicians on New York’s folk/country/oldtime/bluegrass/blues scene together for a series of concerts like no other. The Debauchery Series will publicly showcase music that these days is often kept private: sexy, rowdy, lewd, ugly, illegal, politically incorrect, did-he-just-say-what-I-think-he-said traditional music from the heart of the America.
Whistled melodies have inspiredgreat music from Otis Redding, Paul Simon and others. But whistling has also inspired murderous looks on the subway. WNYC Soundcheck debates the sometimes-awesome, sometimes-annoying art of whistling. Guests include New Yorker editor and writer Ben Greenmanand singer, teacher – and competitive-whistling champion – Emily Eagen. Readers of Bluegrass NYC will know Emily as one of the fantastic musicians performing in The Whistling Wolves.
Tonight at Jalopy- the perfect solution to the eternal question, “how should we celebrate St Patty’s Day?”
Well, who knew? It seems those fresh faced folks from the Whistling Wolves believe in having good old-fashioned dirty fun. That’s why they’ve partnered up to bring the top musicians on New York’s folk/country/oldtime/bluegrass/blues scene together for a series of concerts like no other.
The Debauchery Series will publicly showcase music that these days is often kept private: sexy, rowdy, lewd, ugly, illegal, politically incorrect, did-he-just-say-what-I-think-he-said traditional music from the heart of the America. The Whistling Wolves host three inappropriately-themed evenings that will give you an unhealthy dose of sex, drugs, and fighting.
The show starts tonight, Thursday, March 17 at 9 pm.

They’re the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band — five guys and a scrubboard, with roots like wisdom teeth.”
