Carrie Rodriguez and Luke Jacobs
Following her album "Give Me All You Got’s" placement among the
Americana Music Association’s Top 10 of 2013, the Texan fiddler and
singer-songwriter teams with musical partner Jacobs, who fills out her sound
with harmonies, guitar, lap steel, and harmonica.
The Hot Gates
It’s a good night for eclectic local talent with songwriter and singer former Noises 10 leader Jason Scavone’s pop-rock band
leading the pack. With the Business People and Americana songwriter Bart
Lattimore.
Nikki Hill
The Durham soul singer’s voice and delivery can stop listeners in
its tracks. Backed by a band that can channel raw `60s Beatles, gritty garage
rock, or Stax soul, Hill - who recently toured Europe - is the real deal.
Dead 27s
Friday
10 p.m., Double Door Inn, 1218 Charlottetown Ave., $5-$7,
www.doubledoorinn.com
The soulful, bluesy combo (and former band of "American Idol" season 11 alum Elise Testone) became a favorite in its native Charleston where
it won multiple awards in "Charleston City Paper" and the Best of Charleston
awards for its soul-meets-Black Crows swagger. It releases its debut EP next
week.
Husky Burnette
With a gravelly voice reminiscent of Wolfman Jack, the gritty
Chattanooga bluesman makes gnarly acoustic and electric blues that shifts between the heart
and heft of the Mississippi Delta and the funky indelible riffs of early ZZ Top.
Charlie Worsham
The young country singer’s death was greatly exaggerated on last Friday’s episode of Fox’s "Bones," where he played a murder victim. This Friday the Mississippian,
who toured with Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert, is alive and well playing
songs from his 2013 debut "Rubberband."
Jucifer
The married Florida duo, which celebrated its bands twentieth
anniversary in 2013, may likely be the loudest act this side of Motorhead but
its also more eclectic than its blaring live shows and the sludge-metal tag
implies. It demonstrates a willingness to experiment with dynamics and
guitarist Amber Valentine’s occasionally gentle voice.
Walk Off the Earth
This Canadian pop-rock group manages to tap into two current musical
trends by mixing the anthemic sing-alongs of the Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men
with the danceable beats and radio-ready pop of groups like Capital Cities.
