For those not in the know (and where have you been?!) Kinky Friedman is a Jewish cowboy from Texas. He is renowned in music circles as the unpredictable and entertaining leader of "Kinky Friedman and The Texas Jewboys", and in literary circles as a best-selling author of 28 books (at time of writing). Unlike many authors so wrapped in their books that they live only an internally exciting life, Kinky is a man of drive and action who lives an exciting life and writes it.

$HOW BIZ KIDS – A Tribute to STEELY DAN
Featuring Michael DeVito, Joe Nerney, Glenn Jubilee,
Bob Casinghino, Kevin Chouinard, Doug Kupper + Larry Dvorin
A CEG Production
File Under: Classic Rock, Tribute
Doors at 6:00pm, Show at 8:00pm
$15
Show Biz Kids are committed to creating a faithful, live performance reproduction of one of America’s most sophisticated and durable musical icons: Steely Dan. The band consists of experienced studio and live performance musicians, seasoned veterans of the “show biz” scene. The name is as much of a sardonic nod to the 150 collective years of playing experience the band has as it is to the SD song of the same name.

INDIGENOUS
File Under: Blues, Native American
NB: Tickets on Sale May 6
Doors at 6:00pm, Show at 8:00pm
$17.50 adv, $20 at door
Though the name "Indigenous" reflects frontman Mato Nanji's heritage as a member of the Nakota tribe, on Chasing the Sun he sounds more like a member of the tribe of Stevie Ray Vaughan. The songs are strong, the singing soulful, and the guitar playing striking. Whereas Indigenous earlier featured Nanji fronting a family band, these days he pretty much is Indigenous (though sidemen still include his bassist brother Pte). The opening "Runaway" channels so much of Vaughan's signature style that listeners might well mistake it for Stevie Ray, though the album ultimately extends its range to encompass the Allmanesque balladry of "Come on Home" and the bluesy twist given Bob Dylan's closing "Born in Time."

Friday, September 5
THE JOSHUA TREE – A Tribute to U2
THE X&Y PROJECT – A Tribute to COLDPLAY
A CEG Production
File Under: Rock, Tribute
NB: SRO
Doors at 11:00pm, Show at 11:30pm
$10 adv, $12 at door
As Boston’s premier tribute to U2, The Joshua Tree pride themselves with their ability to generate a unique musical experience that does not lend itself to impersonations. Without compromising artistic integrity, the band has gone to great lengths to reproduce the distinct sound of one of the world’s most popular rock bands. Unique to The Joshua Tree is their dedication to the entire U2 songbook, including early fan favorites from the 1980-1987 period (Boy, October, War, The Unforgettable Fire, and The Joshua Tree).
THE X&Y PROJECT is the brainchild of Nick Swan, a New York City based recording artist. This project is a tribute to Coldplay, though it is my hope that this music will be appreciated by both hardcore fans of the band and non-fans alike.

LUKA BLOOM
File Under: Singer/Songwriter, Irish
Doors at 6:00pm, Show at 8:00pm
$25 adv, $28 at door
The younger brother of influential Irish singer/songwriter Christy Moore, Barry Moore had tired of being in his brother's shadow when he decided to relocate to the United States in 1987. Re-christening himself Luka Bloom during the long airplane ride, he took the first steps toward establishing his own reputation. A master interpreter, Bloom has continued to balance original songs with reinventions of tunes by a diverse range of songwriters. His reworking of LL Cool J's "I Need Love" transformed the song from its hip-hop origins to a brogue-inflected folk tune.

WISHBONE ASH
File Under: Classic Rock, Folk, British
Doors at 6:00pm, Show at 8:00pm
$25
Formed in October 1969, Wishbone Ash® was gigging by 1970. The band garnered notice in the early days for a unique blend of blues, jazz and English folk. But it was the way the guitars played melodic leads together that would become Wishbone Ash’s trademark, inspiring such bands as Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden. Throughout the years, many notable musicians have contributed their talents to the band, including Asia’s John Wetton, Trevor Bolder from Uriah Heep and Laurie Wisefield, who would later play guitar for Joe Cocker and Tina Turner. Late in 2004, founding guitarist Andy Powell, bassist Bob Skeat and drummer Ray Weston were joined by Finnish guitar slinger Muddy Manninen, who replaced fellow Finn Ben Granfelt. Wishbone Ash introduced Manninen to a receptive crowd at the annual UK AshCon in October, and US fans came out to get a look at the new guitar duo in action on a late fall tour.

Doors at 6:00pm, Show at 8:00pm
$15 adv, $20 at door
Tony Clifton was discovered by the legendary comedian Andy Kaufman in 1969, while performing in a seedy lounge in Las Vegas, Nevada. Kaufman was immediately mesmerized and signed Clifton to open for him on several occasions, most notably his historic "Carnegie Hall Concert". In the 80's, Mr. Clifton appeared numerous times on such shows as David Letterman, Merv Griffin, and Dinah Shore. He was a favorite of Jim Henson and appeared on "The Miss Piggy Special." Rodney Dangerfield hired Tony to open for him at Bill Graham's world famous Fillmore in San Francisco. After Kaufman's untimely departure, Clifton made a miraculous appearance at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles on May 16, 1985 - one year to the day after Kaufman's death. Over the next few years, he disappeared, with only the occasional "sighting" reported. After a brief appearance on "The Jimmy Kimmel Show," in 2004, followed by a one night "sold out" performance at LA's House of Blues, Tony has been incommunicado... until now! Kaufman's protégé is back with "The Return of Tony Clifton", making it possible for audiences all across the country to witness this legendary performer in the flesh.

$10 adv, $12 at door
The Hot Sh*t All-Stars is a labor of love for five of New York's top players. Fronted by singer Jimmy Kunes (Cactus, Savoy Brown) and featuring bassist/vocalist Greg Smith (Rainbow, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent) they are unique in their ability to recreate the classic Deep Purple Mk 3 lineup which featured the combined vocals of David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes. Guitarist Angus Clark (Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Kitaro, Naked Sun) gets to revel in excessive Sratocaster abuse on his down-time between TSO tours, and keyboardist Paul Morris (Rainbow) lays down the virtuosic Hammond B-3 licks that are the hallmark of the DP sound. Keeping it all together is powerhouse drummer Mike Sorrentino (Blackmore's Night), who along with Greg and Paul, have played with the man himself in versions of Rainbow and Blackmore`s Night which lends this lineup an authentic purple hue

Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers (RCPM) are proof that the crazy, reckless, restless, swaggering soul of American rock is still burning a hole in the night sky...guitars blaze, quake and quiver, drums slip, thud and thunder with killer melodies and hooks and the occasional reggae or mariachi rhythm laced through the middle to keep it all honest and interesting (Tom Jurek, Paste Magazine). With the conception of its first ever "VivaCast", the white-hot foursome has successfully pioneered a revolutionary new way to create music and put their fans directly in the recording engineer's seat with a voyeur view. The stunning result is captured on the new CD/DVD, Turbo Ocho, which chronicles the amazing creative process of producing 8 new songs in 8 days. Each song was written, arranged and recorded in a day and upon completion, instantly uploaded to the internet, along with the accompanying day's video log, for thousands of fans to hear and view.

SHEMEKIA COPELAND + THE DUKE ROBILLARD BAND
File Under: Blues, Broadway
NB: Tickets on Sale July 26
Doors at 6:00pm, Show at 8:00pm
$25
When singing sensation Shemekia Copeland first appeared on the scene in 1997 with her groundbreaking debut CD, TURN THE HEAT UP, she quickly became, at 18 years old, a roots music superstar. Critics from around the country celebrated Shemekia's music as fans of all ages agreed that an unstoppable new talent had arrived. Shemekia released two more CDs: 2000's Grammy©-nominated WICKED and 2002's TALKING TO STRANGERS (produced by Dr. John), and in that short period of time, collected five Blues Music Awards, a Grammy© nomination, five Living Blues Awards, and was honored with the coveted "Talent Deserving Wider Recognition" Award by the DownBeat Critics' Poll. Rock legend Robert Plant called her "the next Tina Turner." Shemekia has already had a lifetime's worth of career highlights, including performances on national television, appearances in films, and sharing stages with some of the biggest names in the music world.
Inspired by blues legends like T-Bone Walker, Charlie Patton and Big Joe Turner, Duke Robillard's guitar work has seamlessly spanned the worlds of jazz, blues, and swing since he founded the renowned big band, Roomful of Blues, in 1967. Duke has recorded twenty acclaimed solo albums and toured the world both with his own band and also as Jimmie Vaughan's replacement in The Fabulous Thunderbirds. In addition to his own recordings, Duke has played on and/or produced albums by Bob Dylan (1997's Grammy-winning Time Out of Mind), Ruth Brown, Johnny Adams, Kim Wilson, Jay McShann, Pinetop Perkins, John Hammond, Jimmy Witherspoon, Snooky Pryor and many more. Called "one of the great players" by the legendary B.B. King, Duke is a 4 time winner for Best Guitarist at the Blues Music Awards and his live show is a masterful display of a wide variety of blues styles.

By taking the hard riffing and minor key melodies handed down from metal masters like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden, then infusing them with the speed and energy introduced by the burgeoning thrash metal movement, Helloween crystallized the sonic ingredients of what is now known as power metal. To this day, they remain the benchmark by which most every power metal band is measured.

Electronic music outfit Delerium is getting ready to launch its first major outing in five years. The "D-Tour 2008" will feature guest vocalists including Kristy Thirsk and Sixpence None The Richer's Leigh Nash, both of whom have appeared on Delerium's past albums. Up-and-coming Nettwerk Music Group labelmates Elsiane and Morgan Page support the tour. Delerium, led by Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb, released its fifth full-length album, "Nuages Du Monde," in 2006 and snagged the No. 13 spot on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart. The set, which showcases the band's mix of world music, new age electronics and modern classical, continues Delerium's evolution from a predominantly instrumental band to a full-fledged vocal group. The atmospheric sounds on "Nuages Du Monde" are enhanced by vocalists including opera star Isabel Baryakdarian, Punjabi singer Koran Ahluwalia and Swiss singer/songwriter Jael. Since the release of its debut album, 1995's "Semantic Spaces," Delerium has sold more than a million albums in North America, and produced a string of successful singles including the dance hit "Silence" featuring Sarah McLachlan. Other singles to make the Top 10 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play chart over the years include "Truly" featuring Nerina Pallot, "After All" with Jael, "Underwater" featuring Rani and "Innocente" with vocals by Leigh Nash.

When he broke on the national scene in 1957 with his classic "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," he was every parents' worst nightmare perfectly realized: a long, blonde-haired Southerner who played the piano and sang with uncontrolled fury and abandon, while simultaneously reveling in his own sexuality. Jerry Lee's follow-up to "Shakin'" was another defining moment for his career, as well as for rock & roll. "Great Balls of Fire" featured only piano and drums, but sounded huge with Phillips' production behind it. It got him into a rock & roll movie (Jamboree) and his fame was spreading to such a degree that Johnny Cash and Carl Perkins left Sun to go to Columbia Records. His next single, "Breathless," had a promotional tie-in with Dick Clark's Saturday night Bandstand show, making it three hits in a row for the newcomer. He returned to the charts in the late 60s with a string of top ten country hits including "Another Time, Another Place" and "What Made Milwaukee Famous (Has Made A Loser Out of Me)". The next ten years saw him turning out more than a dozen best selling singles. But the mid-'80s saw another jump start to his career. A movie entitled Great Balls of Fire was about to be made of his life and Lewis was called in to sing the songs for the soundtrack. Showing everyone who was the real Killer, Lewis sounded energetic enough to make you believe it was 1957 all over again with the pilot light of inspiration still burning bright.
