From Madahoochi’s MySpace: “Madahoochi, although labeled a “jam rock” band, shows diversity in every aspect of their music. Within an hour one will hear songs categorized as rock, jam rock, psychedelic rock, funk, and even some house techno and trance! Everyone gets what they came for and more than they ever expected from one band. A symbiotic relationship is formed between the band and the crowd uniting under two main principals that have rallied people for decades: a great time and ROCK!” Show begins at 10 p.m. with a $5 cover charge.

From J. Poet at AllMusic.com: “It’s tempting to say [Peter Karp] combines John Prine’s wordplay, Joe Ely’s rocking instincts, Billy Joe Shaver’s fatalistic outlook, Tim McGraw’s good looks, and an expressive tenor that combines the fire of a young Steve Earle and the lazy drawl of Mose Allison, but that wouldn’t be right. Karp is his own man, an artist who blends roots music styles into something that combines and transcends blues, country, rock, honky tonk, R&B, swamp, swing, and jazz . . . His lyrics combine working-class angst with college-educated insight, and a deadly sense of humor that keeps things from getting too dark . . . ” Get a delicious slice of Americana beginning at 9 p.m. ($5, 21+).

“I love singing, good music is the “authentic communicator”, Trish says, “The connection a singer can have with an audience is a great experience. Singing about finding love, losing love and everything in between…we can all relate to that, the good and the bad of it all,…. music keeps it real.” Get connected with Trish beginning at 9 p.m. at this FREE show (21+, please).
