Jimmy Herring Tour Dates

November 8th, 2010 | No Comments

TOUR KICKS OFF THIS WEDNESDAY IN NORFOLK, CT

Jimmy Herring

Jimmy Herring is hittting
the road with his current line-up, featuring Herring on guitar, drummer Jeff Sipe (Aquarium Rescue Unit,
Jazz is Dead, Shawn Lane), keyboardist Matt Slocum (Susan Tedeschi, Derek Trucks), and Neal
Fountain on bass (Col Bruce Hampton, Alex Machacek). Tour dates are below.

The Jimmy Herring Band will be performing a wide range of material, including compositions from Herring’s long-
awaited and much-acclaimed 2008 solo debut Lifeboat.

“The music for the upcoming tour will be a mixed bag. Some stuff from the album and some covers I have always
wanted to play- Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Frank Zappa among others. Hopefully there will be
enough freedom for everyone to relax and have equal creative input. One thing I learned from Bruce Hampton is,
the simpler the music, the easier it is to reinterpret it each time you play it.”

Herring, who toured this summer with drummer Lenny White (Miles Davis, Return To Forever) will be one
of the
headliners at the New Universe Music Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina on November 20-21 as well as performing
there with The Lenny White Group and paying a tribute to guitar icon John McLaughlin with
whom he co-bills the
House of Blues concert in Boston on November 16.

Girl Talk: Extensive 2011 Tour

November 6th, 2010 | No Comments

2011 SHOWS BEGIN IN CLEVELAND IN JANUARY

“Mr. Gillis aims to please. His music is a collage of hits, recent and old, that are instantly recognizable to just about everyone in the crowd. Each one – from Jay-Z to Styx to the Ramones to Missy Elliott to Nirvana – draws a cheer within a few notes. Mr. Gillis samples the songs’ obvious hooks. He isn’t a hipster showing off how deeply he’s dug into his collection; he’s a fellow fan, reactivating remembered pop pleasures.” – Jon Pareles, The New York Times

With almost 300 shows under his belt, and hardly a full week off, since Feed The Animals was released in June 2008 and Girl Talk (aka Gregg Gillis) has announced another 40-city tour, all set to take place in 2011 before March is even over!

JamBase Questionnaire: Ryan Montbleau Band

September 24th, 2010 | No Comments

Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen to the bright lights of the music world. Last time we heard from Spiritual Rez.

Being effortlessly charming and pumping out highly infectious music with a quickness seems to come easy to the Ryan Montbleau Band. For this bunch “pop” isn’t an ugly word. Montbleau’s tunes possess the sort of wide reach that lodges records in car stereos, video countdowns and beloved dorm room stashes. But for all the readily likeable traits, Montbleau’s music possesses an undisguised lustiness and clever streak that recall early Randy Newman, which hints that we’re only in the early stages of what he and his band will become.

Press play on Heavy On The Vine (released September 21) and the hooks just keep on coming, and in a wide variety of styles – pure radio fare, blue-eyed reggae, crooner territory and folksy shuffles – each delivered credibly. The whole band plays with lovely texture and the songs are ripe for live expansion, something the many miles already behind RMB have well prepared them to do. Martin Sexton‘s production accents a warm, group sound but still makes sure to let Montbleau’s crush-ready pipes stand out on every track. His voice marries Jack Johnson’s slacker drawl to Stevie Wonder’s brightness and dexterous way with a melody, and the whole album seems just one good soundtrack placement away from blowing up. Big.

In the meantime, Montbleau and his merry band will keep working clubs and theatres nationwide, as well as backing up Sexton from time to time. This weekend they’ll be in Albany, NY (9/24), Rochester, NY (9/25) and Ithaca, NY (9/26). For full tour schedule pop over here. (Dennis Cook)

Here’s what Ryan had to say to our inquiries.

Ryan Montbleau Band

1. Great music rarely happens withoutÂ…
Listening. Actually, it never happens without listening.

2. The first album I bought wasÂ…
Huey Lewis and the News’ Sports.

3. The last song or album to really flip my wig wasÂ…
“Sissyfuss” by Surprise Me Mr. Davis

4. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to beÂ…
A pro baseball player

5. My favorite sort of gig isÂ…
A quiet, listening environment, although I enjoy the others, too.

6. One thing I wish people knew about me isÂ…
I just want to get better.

7. I love the sound ofÂ…
The word “book”

8. One day I hope to make an album as fantastic asÂ…
The Beatles’ White Album

9. The best meal I ever had on tour was atÂ…
Tim Hardiman’s catering for us in Utica, NY

10. I always find the coolest audiences inÂ…
The smallest towns, but any show can be great; you just never know.

11. The worst habit I’ve picked up being on the road all the time isÂ…
Drinking more and sleeping later

12. The Beatles or the Stones? Por que?
The Beatles. I just don’t think the Stones can even touch the amount of great songs that The Beatles wrote.

13. The craziest thing I ever saw wasÂ…
I don’t knowÂ…Davy Jones from The Monkees at one of our gigs in Knoxville, TN? That’s a tough one.
