The live music scene continues to grow its return. Check the venues as the weather will determine some shows.
Friday, Orb Mellon Brings his Trio To Jerry s Pizza and Barroom. The Trio Performs Original boogie and blues. Orb Mellon, the master picker, is backed by blues drummer Mark Hennessy and Dave Robbins on harp.
Orb Mellon mines the raw energy of 20th Century American roots music, particularly whiskey fueled house party delta blues. Influenced by the likes of Bukka White, Junior Kimbrough, and John Fahey, Orb Mellon performs pure, sonically aggressive, and ever transforming original folk blues, free from any quaintness or historicism, prompting one early reviewer to identify Orb Mellon’s work simply as blues in all its primeval glory. Mark your calendars for a nice hot pizza with a dash of blues.
