Indian Nickel Blues Band w/ former Law Student Scott Dewey
We seem to have a lot of music to report this week! Come out this Saturday (9/30) and see Scott Dewey, former UCLA Law Student and well known to many library RAs, playing with his band, Indian Nickel Blues Band, at Rae's Lounge in West L.A. (10939 Venice Blvd, 90034, 310-202-8464). They are playing from 9pm - 1am and there is no cover charge. Scott says you'll hear "some great blues songs and blistering guitar riffs." It's free and it's close (near Venice & Sepulveda), so come and show your support for a former compatriate!
"Peyroux’s bittersweet, brokenhearted alto earned her comparisons to the late Billie Holiday and Patsy Cline. Born in Georgia and raised in Paris and New York, the young singer, guitarist and songwriter fell in love with French culture on the streets of Paris, and sang jazz and blues with a touring band. An original interpreter of songs from earlier eras, Peyroux channels vintage jazz and blues with chilling accuracy. Her 2004 release, Careless Love, is a seamless blend of acoustic blues, country ballads, torch songs and pop, featuring songs by an array of artists including W. C. Handy, Bob Dylan, Hank Williams, Leonard Cohen, Elliott Smith and Edith Piaf. Peyroux’s concert will include songs from her new album, Half the Perfect World."
Billboard magazine says: “…Bird can be noisy, charming, frivolous, haunting and playful all at once, with each song an adventure and, as the title implies, a mystery. As compulsive as he is obsessive, Bird's attention to detail in ‘Production of Eggs’ assembles all his finest gifts into one breathtaking basket.”
