That chemistry exists between a club in Kennett Square and a blues-based band from Philly. The Flash\u00a0(102 Sycamore Alley, Kennett Square, 484-732-8295,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kennettflash.org\/\">http:\/\/www.kennettflash.org<\/a>) and the Dukes of Destiny, who will be performing there on January 24, have a long history together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe play at a wide variety of venues &#8212; the Mermaid Inn is our home away from home,\u201d said John Colgan-Davis, during a phone interview from his Philadelphia home last week. \u201cWe\u2019ve played The Flash a lot over the years and have always had a great time there. It\u2019s one of our favorite places to play.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Dukes of Destiny, who have been treating fans to belly-filling helpings of blues and old-school soul for almost three decades, are Arlyn Wolters (vocals), AC Steel (guitar, vocals), Bob Holden (drums, vocals),\u00a0Chicago Carl Snyder (keyboards, vocals), Rich Curtis (bass, vocals) and John Colgan-Davis (harmonica, vocals).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to performing at most of the clubs in the Tri-State area, the Philly-based band\u00a0has performed at the Pocono Blues Festival, the Waterfront Jam at Philadelphia\u2019s Penn\u2019s Landing, the State Street Blues Stroll in Media, the Bucks County R\u2019n\u2019B Picnic, the New Jersey Folk Festival and the Longwood Gardens Summer Concert Series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI grew up in West Philly and went to Central High,\u201d said Colgan-Davis. \u201cThat\u2019s where I got into the blues. When I was in school, I saw the Stones on \u2018Shindig\u2019 and they brought out Howlin\u2019 Wolf.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howlin\u2019 Wolf, whose real name was Chester Burnett, was an American blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player who was one of the premier Chicago bluesmen. He also served as a catalyst for the young Colgan-Davis\u2019 musical career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I saw Howlin\u2019 Wolf on that TV show, I jumped up and said &#8212; this is what I want to do. I started playing blues when I was 16. My dad gave me a grab bag for my birthday and a harmonica was in it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started listening to blues records a lot &#8212; players like Muddy Waters and James Cotton. I was really into Chicago blues of the 1950s and 1960s when I started. Then, I got into guys like Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee. One of the first bands I played in was a Philly blues band called Sweet Stavin\u2019 Chain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A while later, the Dukes of Destiny became the main musical vehicle for Colgan-Davis.\u00a0At first they played house parties in Germantown, generating word of mouth interest. A gig at the now-defunct Taker\u2019s Cafe in Germantown launched their public career<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Dukes got together in the mid-1980s,\u201d said Colgan-Davis. \u201cSteve Brown started the band and it began with that gig at Taker\u2019s Caf\u00e9. Steve died of pancreatic cancer in 2000 and I\u2019ve been the leader ever since. Steve has always been in my mind. We did a tribute concert to him a few years ago and we still do some of his favorites in our set.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a whole range of music in what we can play &#8212; everything from Chicago blues to old-school soul. What\u2019s great about the Dukes is that we\u2019re a band. We use each other\u2019s strengths. Arlyn and I do the bulk of the singing but everybody in the band sings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe play a couple times a month &#8212; more in the summer. We all have other jobs. I\u2019m a school teacher at Friends Select School. We\u2019ve been around as the Dukes of Destiny for a long time. A big reason we\u2019ve been able to do that is that we love playing together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The show at The Flash, which is billed as \u201cDukes of Destiny Dance Party &amp; Concert,\u201d is slated to start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16 in advance and $20 day of show.<\/p>\n<p>Other upcoming shows at The Flash are Edna\u2019s Tribe with Jason Anger opening on January 23. The show on January 22 featuring comedian Joe Conklin is sold out.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_102629\" style=\"width: 209px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/kellerman-2-199x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1026293 \" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/kellerman-2-199x300.jpg\" alt=\"kellerman 2\" width=\"199\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sally Kellerman<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sally Kellerman, who will present a one-woman show at the Rrazz Room (6426 Lower York Road, New Hope, 888-596-1027,\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.therrazzroom.com\/\">www.TheRrazzRoom.com<\/a><\/em>) on January 24, is familiar to most people as a top flight actress &#8212; especially from her role as Margaret \u201cHot Lips\u201d Houlihan in the award-winning film \u201cM*A*S*H.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, when Kellerman brings her act to the popular supper club in Bucks County on Saturday night, she will not be presenting a theatrical performance.<\/p>\n<p>Kellerman\u2019s show is titled \u201cA Little Jazz, a Little Blues, a Little Rock and Roll\u201d and billed as \u201can eclectic celebration of her cabaret career &#8212; from her early years at Reno Sweeney in Greenwich Village up to recent performances in Hollywood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Is Kellerman an actress who likes to sing on the side or a singer who also had success as a film and stage actress? Surprisingly, she began her career in entertainment as a singer.<\/p>\n<p>She was born in Los Angeles\u2019 San Fernando Valley and attended Hollywood High. When she was 18, Kellerman signed a recording contract with Verve Records, one of the top jazz labels of the era. But, she didn\u2019t record her first album \u201cRoll with the Feelin\u2019\u201d\u00a0until 17 years later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic came first and acting came later,\u201d said Kellerman, during a phone interview last week from her home in Southern California. \u201cI was under contract with Verve when I was 18. But, I was too scared to record so I went into acting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was a geek back then and had low self-esteem. I started therapy and then the acting took off. I always took singing lessons. And, I was in acting class with Jack Nicholson. His roommate was my boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That acting class was taught by actor\/director Jeff Corey and some of Kellerman\u2019s other classmates were Shirley Knight, Dean Stockwell and Robert Blake. In 1970, Kellerman solidified her status as an \u2018A List\u201d actress in the movie \u201cM*A*S*H.\u201d Her performance earned her Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe minute I got nominated for the Academy Award, I started with music again,\u201d said Kellerman. \u201cI wanted soul. I didn\u2019t want to sound like everybody else. I put an 11-piece band together, went out on tour and came back $50,000 in debt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Kellerman never gave up on the music part of her career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic has always been a big thing for me,\u201d said Kellerman. \u201cAnd, I love acting. It\u2019s all been worth it. I never stopped acting &#8212; and never stopped working on my music.<\/p>\n<p>Kellerman has recorded albums over the years. The most recent is \u201cSally,\u201d which came out in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI made the album in L.A. with Val Garay,\u201d said Kellerman. \u201cHe\u2019s the producer who made \u2018Bettie Davis Eyes.\u2019 I also had great musicians with me including Leland Sklar and Russ Kunkel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sklar is a world-famous bass player who has been a session man on more than 2,500 albums, including discs by Barbra Streisand, Rod Stewart, Reba McEntire, Jackson Browne, Faith Hill and a dozen by James Taylor. Kunkel\u2019s discography also is in quadruple-digits and includes work with Bob Dylan, Jimmy Buffett, B.B. King, Diana Ross and Crosby, Stills &amp; Nash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to be a good singer and I have a lot of wonderful new material in my current show,\u201d said Kellerman. \u201cIt\u2019s not a cabaret show but there is a thread there. There is a through line &#8212; a little jazz, a little blues and a little rock and roll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kellerman\u2019s show at the Rrazz Room is scheduled to get underway at 8 p.m. Tickets are $35.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_102629\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/long-200x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1026295\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/long-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"long\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bobby Long<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Bobby Long, who plays the Upstairs Stage at the World Caf\u00e9 Live at the Queen (500 North Market Street, Wilmington, 302- 994-1400,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.queen.worldcafelive.com\/\">www.queen.worldcafelive.com<\/a>) on January 24, is a young singer from Wigan, England who built up a solid fan base in America before he even released an album here.<\/p>\n<p>Long, who now lives in New York, continued to add to his fan popularity with his two albums on ATO Records &#8212; \u201cA Winter Tale\u201d in 2011 and \u201cWishbone\u201d in 2013. Now, he is ready to add more listeners to his ever-growing cache with a new album that is fresher than a tray of tea biscuits still hot from the oven.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just finished my new record five days ago,\u201d said Long, during a phone interview last Friday from his home in New York. \u201cI just got the masters back today. I did a pledge campaign to fund the album and then recorded it in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI did my last album in L.A. and the one before that was recorded in London. I\u2019ve been lucky enough to move around. Recording in Austin was a bonus. I love the town. My manager had a client who recorded there and was really pleased with the result. So, he suggested I try it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Long cut his new album in Austin at\u00a0The Congress House recording studios with highly-acclaimed producer\u00a0\u00a0Mark Hallman whose resume includes work with Carole King, Hot Club of Cowtown, Dale Watson, Ani DiFranco and Ladysmith Black Mambazo. Long also has some of his songs in a new short film that\u2019s playing the festival circuit called \u201cSee Seven States from Rock City.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMark is a great guy,\u201d said Long. \u201cHe\u2019s really good working with solo artists. He\u2019s a multi-instrumentalist &#8212; drums, bass, any instrument. He was really good working with someone like me. I\u2019d bring the song in and then we\u2019d build it up together.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI took 20 songs down there with me. I recorded my bit live and then we added to it. There was a connection there. We worked really fast &#8212; try this, yeah, let\u2019s try this &#8212; we didn\u2019t muck around. I played guitar, sang and did harmonies. He had a sound engineer who played slide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was looking to play bass on the album but Mark is a great bass player. The big thing I really, really liked &#8212; when I have a brain wave, I have to finish it. He likes to focus on one track at a time until he gets that track nailed. So, I was able to concentrate on one thing at a time. I definitely felt he was on the same level as me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only is Long\u2019s new album fresh, so are all the songs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say 90 per cent of the songs were newly written,\u201d said Long. \u201cThere is a diversity of songs. With the last album, we wanted to make sure there was a definite line running through &#8212; a thread.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis time, there\u2019s more versatility. We used a harmonium. We used a mellotron on another track &#8212; and a Hammond B-3. But, all the kids are from the same house. We cut the album in September in 10 days. We just announced the title &#8212; \u2018Ode to Thinking\u2019 &#8212; and are looking at an April\/May release.<\/p>\n<p>Long\u2019s show is scheduled to start at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 and $17.<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming schedule for the Upstairs Stage at the Queen also includes comedian Michael Finazzo on January 23 and The Sermon on January 28. The Downstairs Stage will feature Keystone A Capella and Vox Pop on January 23 and Steve Forbert with Ben Arnold on January 24.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_102629\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/canty-3-300x262.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1026296 \" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/canty-3-300x262.jpg\" alt=\"canty-3\" width=\"300\" height=\"262\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Caitlin Canty<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Caitlin Canty, a talented singer-songwriter from Vermont, released her new album this week and quickly embarked on a mini-tour of the Northeast.<\/p>\n<p>The tour got underway at the prestigious Rockwood Music Hall in New York on January 21 and will wrap up next week with three dates in New England &#8212; including a sold-out show at Club Passim in Cambridge, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for area fans, Canty\u2019s itinerary includes a southward swing to the Philly area when she headlines a show at Burlap &amp; Bean Coffeehouse (204 South Newtown Street Road, Newtown Square, 484-427- 4547,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.burlapandbean.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.burlapandbean.com<\/a>) on January 22.<\/p>\n<p>Canty\u2019s new album features a dozen well-crafted songs performed by the singer along with a full band. Titled \u201cReckless Skyline,\u201d it is her first disc without a precious metal in the title. Her first two discs were a solo effort &#8212; \u201cGolden Hour\u201d in 2012 &#8212; and a band project that released its eponymous record \u201cDown Like Silver\u201d in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recorded the album in four days in October 2013 in Easthampton, Massachusetts,\u201d said Canty, during a recent phone interview from Vermont. \u201cAnd we mixed it a few months later. The live recording experience in the studio was magic. We had a blast and were efficient too. We cut 19 songs in those four days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wrote most of these songs in the six months before I went into the studio. I started writing with this band in mind. It\u2019s Jeff\u2019s band from his \u2018Horse Latitudes\u2019\u00a0tour. The music is more centered around the vibe and personality of the players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foucault is a veteran singer-songwriter who has performed with artists such as Chris Smither, Gillian Welch and Roseanne Cash. He has released nine albums since 2001, including two with the band Cold Satellite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe core of the band that I have with me on the road is the same band we had in the studio,\u201d said Canty. \u201cThere are five of us in the touring band &#8212; Billy and Jeremy, who are the Cold Satellite rhythm section, Eric, Jeff and me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my first time touring with this exact line-up. We&#8217;ve all toured together in different arrangements. I absolutely prefer touring with a band but I have to play solo shows too. My favorite deal is when I open for Jeffrey Foucault and Billy Conway. They back me up on my set and I sing backing vocals on theirs. That\u2019s a pretty sweet tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Canty spends much of her time each year on the road or dividing her time between Nashville, Idaho, and New England.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA few years ago I had a full-time job as a sustainability consultant in New York,\u201d said Canty,<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u00a0<\/span>who is part of the duo Down Like Silver with Peter Bradley Adams.\u00a0\u201cI went to Idaho for few months after I quit my day job and really liked it there. I still go back to Idaho every year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not surprisingly, nature and the outdoors figure heavily in Canty\u2019s songs. On her new album, there are references to riding a Harley on a desert highway, \u201cbreathing in rivers,\u201d braving winter\u2019s wind and walking through tall grass. On the title track, Canty sings about \u201cwatching the sun paint a reckless skyline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the songs I\u2019ve written have been written next to rivers,\u201d said Canty, an alumna of Williams College who will be making her third appearance at Burlap and Bean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to this tour and playing live with this band. They are good people and good musicians who bring so much to my songs. What else could I ask for?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Showtime is 8 p.m. and tickets are priced at $12 in advance and $16 at the door.<\/p>\n<p>Other upcoming shows at Burlap and Bean are Angela Sheik and Alfred James Band on January 23 and Mason Porter and Beaucoup Blue on January 24.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_102629\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/broncho-1-300x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1026297\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/broncho-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"broncho 1\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-102629\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Broncho<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you\u2019re familiar with the city of Norman, Oklahoma, there is a 99 per cent probability that it\u2019s because you\u2019re a college football fan who knows the city is the home of the University of Oklahoma and its perennially powerful team.<\/p>\n<p>Or you might recognize it because it\u2019s a \u201cSister City\u201d of Arezzo (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand (France), Colima City (Mexico) and Seika (Japan) &#8212; but probably not.<\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are fans of indie-pop music &#8212; especially tight indie-pop featuring fuzzy guitars and catchy hooks &#8212; Norman might ring a bell because it\u2019s the home of Broncho.<\/p>\n<p>Broncho, a power-pop trio that just expanded to a five-piece line-up, is amping up its recognition level in several ways right now. The band has just released its second album \u201cJust Enough Hip To Be Woman\u201d to very positive reviews and fan acceptance.<\/p>\n<p>The group is also opening for veteran British punk-rocker Billy Idol on his \u201cKings and Queens of the Underground Tour.\u201d The national tour touches down in this area on January 24 for a show at the Tower Theater (69th and Ludlow streets, Upper Darby, 215-922-1011,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetowerphilly.com\/\">www.thetowerphilly.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>The original trio features Ryan Lindsey on guitar and vocals, Ben King on guitar and background vocals and Nathan Price on drums.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn the new record, we have a new bass player &#8212; Penny Pitchlyn, who is from Norman, and her friend Mandii Larsen, who plays guitar and sings,\u201d said Lindsey, during a recent phone interview from his home in Norman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s worked out well because there\u2019s a lot more harmony in our songs. We can get to the higher register. Our music is fuzzy guitar-driven rock. It\u2019s a little bit of a throwback to early \u201980\u2019s rock and roll &#8212; with some punk influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The album\u2019s\u00a0first single \u201cClass Historian\u201d is a rousing, toe-tapping number with boundless energy and a \u201cdo do do do\u201d cascading vocal refrain that worms its way into your brain and stays there for quite awhile. Another new tune &#8212; \u201cIt\u2019s On\u201d &#8212; sounds like a classic Buzzcocks track that could have been cut in London in 1977. And, like a good punk records, the songs are fast, intense and not very long.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur first album had 12 songs and was just 20 minutes long,\u201d said Lindsey. \u201cThe new record, which is our second album, is 30 minutes long and has 11 songs. The first album (\u2018Can\u2019t Get Past the Lips\u2019) was different but similar &#8212; lots of crunchy guitar but the melodies might have been hidden a little more than the new record.\u00a0\u00a0For me, it was a natural progression.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recorded the new album over the last one-and-half -years sporadically between tours and finished it last summer. A lot of the songs we had been playing for awhile. After the first record came out, we started writing new songs and playing them live. Once we started booking studio time and recording, the rest fell in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith our music, I usually come up with the original melody and structure. Then, we finish the songs as a band and figure out how to play them live.
