The Gramophone

KDHX FM 88.1 welcomes John Mooney (recently featured on Treme!)

Throughout the years John Mooney has developed one of the most distinctive and easily identifiable guitar and vocal signatures of anyone alive today. Part of the original impetus for his interest in music may have filtered down from his grandfather, a musician himself. “He used to play the mandolin and banjo back in the 20’s” says Mooney. “He even cut a couple of 78’s for the Peerless label that I’ve heard. It was really hot stuff, a kind of raggy jazz.“

Whispering Pines

AMOEBA MUSIC, Hollywood writes… “Does your groovy-deep-roots-boogie band accidentally share a name with a song by ‘The Band’? Do you just happen to channel some serious J.J. Cale-Tony Joe White-Allman Bros. back porch soul? No? You must not be the Whispering Pines, who are fabulous, authentic, and notorious local boys made good who OWN this sound. Not easily or convincingly done, mind you. Muscle Shoals in Silverlake, brother. I’ll tell you, the river runs deep.”

Lubriphonic w/ Jobu

Lubriphonic greases your ears, moves your hips, and leaves you reeling in sweaty bliss. Simmering and intense, with chops to spare, Lubriphonic’s live performances create a spicy dish that is guaranteed to cure what ails you.
The members of Lubriphonic have individually toured with artists as diverse as Koko Taylor, Buddy Miles, Otis Rush, and Lenny Kravitz. They have fused their talents and experience as side-men in order to create an orignal project that is soulful, unique, and exciting.
Their new release, “Soul Solution,” exemplifies this. The 13 studio tracks (as well as two bonus live tracks) capture the band at it’s best– confident, daring, and very, very, funky.
