5 Live Music Musts - May 13, 2016
Keb Mo at Lupo's
Kevin Moore is a three time Grammy winner better known as Keb Mo. He's a master guitar player, actor, and authority on the Blues. He recently released a new album, That Hot Pink Blues Album, a double live set. You can catch him live tonight at Lupo's in Providence. Tickets start at $37.50 - show begins at 8PM.
Art Garfunkel at Park
He once played a show at Central Park in front of 500,000 fans with his longtime partner. Art Garfunkel is half of one of the greatest duos in music history, Simon and Garfunkel. Tomorrow night he plays the Park Theatre in Cranston. Expect some classic solo material, a few covers, some great stories and some S&G favorites. Show begins at 8PM - Tickets start at $55.
Vudu Sister at Columbus
Vudu Sister returns to the Columbus Theatre tonight for a CD release show. The newly released album, Mortis Nervosa, is a dark and delightful "conversation with the Grim Reaper" that explores themes of fear and death. It's a wild ride, with richly crafted lyrics and Keith J.G. McCurdy's Cobain-like growl prominently featured. Pixels and Bloodpheasant open the evening. Show starts at 9PM - tickets are $10 in advance.
Slingshot Dakota at AS220
AS220 will be busy tonight with a full lineup of top indie bands. Punk, Pop, and experimental sounds are part of the mix with bands Slingshot Dakota from Pennsylvania, RI's Math the Band the Band (recently renamed - no typo), Lovesick and Willow. Tickets are $8 for the 9PM show.
The Rides at Lupo's
The Rides pull into Lupo's Wednesday May 18 for what we expect will be a really cool show. They are a bona fide supergroup led by twice inducted rock and roll hall of famer Stephen Stills, 5 time Grammy nominated guitar genius Kenny Wayne Shepard and Chicago bluesman Barry Goldberg who played keyboards when Bob Dylan went electric at Newport. Nuff said. The group just released their second album, Pierced Arrow, a blues rock celebration with enough Stills to bring you back to Woodstock. Check out the show starting at 8PM - tickets start at $42.50. (photo: Eleanor Stills)
