Le Chat Lunatique plays a combination of Gypsy Swing, Western Swing, and anything else that they damn well please! Filthy, Mangy Jazz is their forte! All of this madness came about due to John Sandlin and Muni Kulasinghe’s mutual love for the great Hot Club of France, a gypsy swing group from 1940’s Paris, which included the combined genius of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli. Jared Putnam’s western swing background has fused itself into the mix and given them a fine repertoire of classic western swing tunes. In addition, Fernando Garavito’s latin background has seeped into the rhythmic palette and given them a formidable groove.
The Midnight Creepers spend their time paying tribute to some of the legends of Soul and Blues, such as Lou Donaldson, Rueben Wilson, Jimmy McGriff, Lonnie Smith. Their rare Groove, Bogaloo, Funk, Soul, Blues-inspired Jazz, organ music, or whatever you want to call it, is undeniable to the soul and the feet. The line-up includes Michael Jaramillo on Traps, Colin Darby on Saxophones, Mathew Lowe on Electric Guitar, Nate K., Eric O., or Cameron Bourg on Electric Bass, and James Breslin on Organ/Keys. Although The Midnight Creepers main focus is on the "Rare Groove" genre, the sound of the band still remains quite rare and unique.
The Saltine Ramblers formed in late 2004 in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. The current lineup features original members Kevin Strange and Cory Minefee with Dave Ivey and Dave Payne. The Ramblers perform their own brand of bizarre Americana, and compliment it with old-time fiddle tunes, bluegrass standards and not-so-standards, rock n’ roll, Rio Grande delta blues and so on. The Saltine Ramblers completed their first self-released album "Gajos De Manderina" in April ’05 and have since created a series of free home recordings for distribution at shows. These include "Salt Trek" and "Friskey" from 2006 and "Warning: The Saltine Ramblers!" from 2007.
This is a 21+ event.
