Saturday, March 29Doors/bar/food from 6:30pm. First set 7:30pm. Haunting lyricism...soulful, dynamic guitar... Curreri is internationally acclaimed for his eloquent, beatnik-blues poet lyrics and his fingerstyle playing. His fifth, and latest album,The Velvet Rut, was released in the U.S. last November. Besides writing all of the songs, Paul Curreri performed every instrument & every vocal on The Velvet Rut, "a record at once unruly, poetic and seductively bad-ass..." (Bella Todd, Time Out London). He’s pulling inspiration from America, twentieth century folk and bluegrass weaving in and out. It’s been characterized as “country-folk” but has everything from Lou Reed to Mojo Nixon, all combined into some funky blues that would make even Tom Waits’ mouth water.(Jessica Star Rockers, on seattle.net) Curreri wrings bent and worried tones and hacks ringing, open-ended chords to punctuate points, or question arguments, or second emotions. It's a more lively conversation -- among himself, his guitar, his characters, his listeners -- than you get in a roomful of people.
