Saint Bernadette, Joe Roberto & Poverty Hash, Mike Kendrick and The Blue Eyed Sons
Led by producer and guitarist Keith Saunders and femme fatale vocalist Meredith DiMenna, with mainstay slide guitarist Joe Novelli, bass player Brian Anderson and drummer Dave Valle, the quintet offers a boozy, erotically charged aural accord that meshes a disparate template of psychedelic-meets-arena rock, with a peppering of jazz, all candy-coated with sing-along choruses.
And the group is putting it’s money where it’s mic is. “Cover Thy Neighbor” is a collection of covers, all written and originally performed by such local acts as The Zambonis, Shangk, Jar-e, Unicorn Wild Ox, Diplodocus and Jargon Society. Come see this great band as they travel through town.
Opening up will be Joe Roberto and Poverty Hash w/ Mike Kendrick and The Blue Eyed Sons.

Tab Benoit
Guitarist-singer Tab Benoit is the real deal. Born and raised on the Louisiana bayou, this self-proclaimed “new kid from the old school” has been the standard bearer for a new generation of Cajun blues musicians – a traditionalist and an innovator at the same time, grafting elements of rock and soul to the indigenous sounds of the bayou. And if dedicating his life to his musical roots weren’t enough, Benoit has also been a tireless crusader in recent years – prior to the devastation of hurricane Katrina but even more so since – for the preservation of the rapidly vanishing wetlands of his native region.

Pepperland presented New Belguim Brewery
Naturally, St Louis has its own Beatles cover Band PEPPERLAND, and offshoot of the popular jam band Madahoochi. And while the four blokes and one bird in the quintet dont dress up in Nehru jackets, they perform the Beatles songbook with a bluesy energy instead of slavish devotion. The band favors the post-Rubber Soul albums, so dont be surprised if Pepperland rips through side two of Abbey Road in one fell swoop.”

88.1 KDHX presents The Gramophone 2 Year Anniversary Party with The Diplomats of Solid Sound and JC Brooks and The Uptown Sound
Join us and 88.1 KDHX in celebrating the 2 year anniversary of THE GRAMOPHONE!!! We are gonna get down and dirty with The Diplomats of Solid Sound plus JC Brooks and Uptown Sound
Since the release of their first 7-inch single, “Bullfrog Boogaloo,” in 2001, the Diplomats of Solid Sound have been mining America’s vast deposits of soul music to create a sound all their own — a spare-but-spicy groove sired equally by progenitors such as Booker T., James Brown and The Funk Brothers. Now, after three full-length releases as an instrumental outfit, the Diplomats of Solid Sound have expanded the family with a trio of sultry sirens who liked to be called the Diplomettes for a new set of soul stunners they like to call “The Diplomats of Solid Sound, Featuring The Diplomettes.” The album is available on CD and for download from Record Kicks. This supercharged new set of prime cuts is a dance party in a jewel box, guaranteed to groove its way into your head and your body — and get both moving fast! Its sound is both new and old. Timeless. Soul. Full-length DOSS releases “Instrumental Action Soul” (2001, Prescription Records), “Let’s Cool One”(2003, Estrus Records) and “Destination … Get Down!” (2005, Estrus) captured the band in its natural habitat, a dimly lit bar where people appreciate a good smoke, a vodka gimlet and a funky little combo that knows how to get the cats and kittens out of their seats and onto the dance floor. The sound got the boys a gig backing R&B legend Andrew Williams, with whom they cut “Aphrodisiac.” It was released by Pravda Records and Spanish label Vampisoul in May 2006.
