5 Live Music Musts - December 2, 2016
Big Biscuit Friday
Head to Nick-a-Nees in Providence tonight for a band that excels in the mamba/surf/rock genre. Big Biscuit is comprised of Chris Monti on guitar and vocal, Matt McLaren on drums, Jack Hanlon on bass and vocals. It’s a special birthday show for Chris so don’t miss one of the area’s best bands. Music after 9PM - as usual, no cover.
London Souls Saturday
The London Souls are a pure rock band from that “across the pond” town known as Brooklyn, NY. They play traditional fuzz filled power guitar rock in the tradition of Led Zeppelin and Cream, but with modern stylings of artists like Lenny Kravitz. They play Saturday December 3rd at the Narrows Center. Boston Blues Rock sensation Julie Rhodes opens. Details here.
Vulgarrity Saturday
Vulgarrity is a two-piece brother sister indie/alt/metal/prog rock band from Providence. They’ll be making some noise Saturday at 8:30PM at The Village in Providence. The siblings were the 2011 “WBRU Rock Hunt” winners – check them out live tomorrow and while you’re at it, look for their latest album Afterlife, available here. More details here.

Supersuckers Sunday
More guitar fueled rock and roll arrives on Sunday December 4 with a full bill at Firehouse 13 headlined by The Supersuckers. Known to many as “The Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World,” they’ll squeeze them in Sunday night at Firehouse 13. Openers include The Quahogs, Jesse Dayton, and Gallows Bound and it’s an early 7PM start for all you Monday morning risers. Tickets available here for $13, $16 day of show.
Norah Jones at The Vets
Norah Jones returns to RI on Thursday, December 8th for a solo show after spending a couple of weekends here this summer when she played both Newport Folk and Newport Jazz. She’s got a chart topping new album, the jazz influenced Day Breaks, a release that also has a nice cross-over appeal. It’s one of the premiere shows of the holiday season and we hope you already have tickets - late word is that only scattered single seats remain. Details for The Vets show here.
