Bobby Whitlock (with wife Coco Carmel) was a key member of seminal bands such as Derek and The Dominos, but many fans may not know his name. He and Carmel play this weekend in Sellersville.<\/p><\/div>\n

Serious fans of rock music — especially classic rock — are well aware of Bobby Whitlock and his many talents. Even casual fans are familiar with his music even if they\u2019ve never heard his name.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Whitlock and Eric Clapton were the key members of Derek and the Dominos. The classic songs \u201cWhy Does Love Got to Be So Sad?\u201d and \u201cBell Bottom Blues\u201d were co-written by Clapton and Whitlock — as were many other Derek and the Dominos\u2019 tunes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prior to that, Whitlock had played keyboards for Delaney & Bonnie and Friends. Early in his career, Whitlock was a session man with Memphis soul acts such as Sam & Dave and Booker T. & the MG\u2019s.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, Whitlock and recorded and\/or performed with such luminaries as the Rolling Stones, George Harrison, John Lennon and Yoko Ono and Dr. John. He also has released more than a dozen solo albums from 1972\u2019s \u201cBobby Whitlock\u201d to 2013\u2019s \u201cCarnival: Live in Austin, which he recorded with his wife CoCo Carmel.<\/span><\/p>\n

This fall, Whitlock and Carmel, who is a guitarist, bassist and saxophonist, are hitting the road on \u201cThe Just Us Tour 2015\u201d — a very special 11-date event presenting an all-acoustic evening of songs hosted in an intimate setting.<\/span><\/p>\n

This veteran duo has worked with some of the most renowned guitarists in the world, and on this tour, which began on September 11, they have handpicked a different local guitarist to perform with them at each show.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tour, which visits the Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Avenue, Sellersville, 215-257-5808,\u00a0www.st94.com<\/span><\/a>) on September 20, is billed as \u201c11 Cities, 5,000 Miles, and 10 Guitarists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWhen you have a band, you lose touch with the audience,\u201d said Whitlock, during a recent phone interview from the couple\u2019s Texas home. \u201cWhat we do here — this is a personal experience for everyone. We talk about what is behind the song. We\u2019re very vulnerable. The truth is there. There is no shroud covering us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea for the tour has its roots in Austin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCarmel and I play a residency here,\u201d said Whitlock. \u201cWe\u2019ve done over 350 shows at The Saxon in Austin. We just fell into this thing. We play and break in new songs and play old Derek and the Dominoes songs that everyone loves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA friend told me to check out this guitarist he knew and wanted me to jam with hm. The guy sent me one more video of the guitarist. I watched it and the guitarist was phenomenal. That guitarist\u2019s name was Tolo Marton. He\u2019s a great guitarist from Italy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThree months ago, we had a 6 p.m. show at The Saxon. I called and told him to show up with his Stratocaster and a small amp. He came to the club. CoCo and I played acoustic and he sat between us. It took it to another level. We call this tour the Just Us tour because it\u2019s just CoCo and me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Carmel, who has performed with such acts as Dr. John, Phoebe Snow, Jon Bon Jovi, Albert Lee, and Billy Preston, said, \u201cAs opposed to having a band with us, having a guitarist with us is a great idea. We start out playing guitar and then Bobby moves to piano and I play sax. It gives these young guitarists a chance to play these songs they\u2019ve idealized.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When Whitlock and Carmel perform together, the chemistry is off the charts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBobby and I have been together for 14 years,\u201d said Carmel. Respect each other and give each other a lot of space. He tells me — hey, just do what you do. We just have that something that continues to work and grow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Whitlock said, \u201cOn this tour, we go back to the way we started. Our agent was booking a small tour so we put it out that we were having a different guitar player in every city we play. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll ever have a full-time band again. We call our band \u2018The Invisible Souls.\u2019 You can\u2019t see them but you can hear them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody already knows the songs I\u2019ve written. We\u2019re just playing these songs and some new ones. The new material threads in like it\u2019s always been there. We do back-and-forth vocals. I\u2019m now singing the way I want to. My voice has matured.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCoCo and I are a team. We\u2019re in a farm on the edge of town. CoCo and I are friends, lovers, partners, husband-and-wife. People can see and hear and feel the special thing we have.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at Sellersville will feature Pat Harrington as tie special guitar guest. Harrington is a guitarist from upstate New York who previously played in the band Electric Church.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPat Harrington is a great player,\u201d said Carmel. \u201cWe\u2019re really pleased to have him play with us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for Bobby and CoCo — https:\/\/youtu.be\/cSHXqcYrjD4<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show on September 20 will start at 7:30 p.m. with Craig Thatcher as the opening act. Tickets are $25, $39.50.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other shows over the next week at the Sellersville Theater are Albert Castiglia and Kim Brewer Band on September 17, Lez Zeppelin on September 18, Colin Quinn on September 19, Lee Dewyze on September 22 and Wishbone Ash on September 23.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"colin-quinn\"<\/a>

Colin Quinn<\/p><\/div>\n

Quinn\u2019s visit to the Sellersville Theater will feature two of his infrequent on-the-road standup performances. The show has an unusually long title — \u201cColin Quinn Live<\/i>: Based on the hit off-Broadway show The New York Story.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

In \u201cColin Quinn Live<\/i>: Based on the hit off-Broadway show The New York Story<\/i>,\u201d Quinn, a Brooklyn native, takes a nostalgic look at the rise and fall of his hometown, the city formally known as New York — from its modest beginnings as Dutch outpost to the hipsters of modern Williamsburg. He takes aim at the prejudices, paranoias and peculiarities that make New York City the crossroads of the world.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Quinn has written and starred in five shows — \u201cIrish Wake,\u201d \u201cMy Two Cents,\u201d \u201cLong Story Short,\u201d \u201cUnconstitutional,\u201d and \u201cThe New York Story\u201d — two of which he collaborated on with Jerry Seinfeld as director. \u201cLong Story Short\u201d was also filmed as an HBO special that was televised in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe show has changed some since the Off-Broadway production but it still has a lot of other stuff in it,\u201d said Quinn, during a phone interview Wednesday evening from his New York home. \u201cI stretch off the bag to get to make it fit. That\u2019s the benefit of doing standup comedy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI talk about social media and what it means — how it affects everything. Nobody makes eye contact anymore. People express their emotions through symbols on their smart phones. And, I do general stuff from earlier days.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe show runs straight through without a break. Intermissions aren\u2019t made for comedy. Most of the show is scripted with maybe 15-20 minutes of improv. But, calling it scripted is playing fast and loose with the word. It\u2019s better to say that there is a loose outline.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Quinn hasn\u2019t taken the show outside of New York very much since it began on Off-Broadway.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI did it in central Connecticut and it did well there,\u201d said Quinn, who first became known nationally from MTV\u2019s \u201cRemote Comtrol\u201d and then cemented his popularity as a cast member of \u201cSaturday Night Live.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of it is just about ethnicity in general. I developed it in Long Island where white ethnics live — where the Irish-Americans live. A lot of stuff is also about political correctness. I just don\u2019t like political correctness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone who has ever seen Quinn perform onstage or on television knows that already.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m taking the show back to Off-Broadway on October 20,\u201d said Quinn. \u201cI\u2019ll be at the Cherry Lane Theatre for three months.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for Colin Quinn — https:\/\/youtu.be\/M5-rHqbp4vE<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quinn will have an early show at 6 p.m. and a late show at 9 p.m. with separate admission for each. Tickets are $29.50 and $45 for either performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hank & Cupcakes<\/p><\/div>\n

Another respected rock-and-roll couple will be playing in Philadelphia on the same night. On September 20, Hank & Cupcakes will headline a show at Bourbon and Branch (705 North Second Street, Philadelphia, 215-238-0660, bourbonandbranchphilly.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Hank & Cupcakes are a Brooklyn-based indie pop band formed in seven years ago in Tel Aviv, Israel. The group consists of husband-and-wife duo Sagit \u201cCupcakes\u201d Shir (drums, vocals, piano) and Ariel \u201cHank\u201d Scherbacovsky (bass guitar).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe met when we were in the Israeli Army,\u201d said Cupcakes, during a recent phone interview. \u201cIn Israel, everyone has to go into the Army. We were in a touring band together in the military.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

They formed a band together in Israel after their army days and then got married. In 2007, they moved to Cuba for awhile.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were bored with our life in Israel and Cuba came up as an ideal place to be,\u201d said Hank. \u201cWe were going there to study music at Havana University. We spent six months in Havana studying Cuban music — especially drums.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The next location for Cupcakes & Hank was New York City. With Brooklyn as their home base, they played shows across the United States and all around Europe. And, they recorded their debut album \u201cNaked!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur first album was recorded in Germany,\u201d said Hank. \u201cWe had just gotten signed to a publishing deal with a company based in Berlin. So, we went to Germany to make the album even though we were based in Brooklyn.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hank & Cupcakes are ready for another relocation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re moving to Atlanta, Georgia,\u201d said Cupcakes. \u201cWe really liked it when we were visiting there. There is a great music scene in Atlanta. And, it\u2019s well-located for our good cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe love the South and the Southeast and we have a lot of fans in the Midwest. We also love Philly and Washington. Johnny Brendas in Philly is one of our favorite places to play.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The duo\u2019s current tour is in support of their new album \u201cCash 4 Gold,\u201d which was just released in the states on September 5.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe spent all of last year recording the album,\u201d said Cupcakes. \u201cA lot of the songs were already in our repertoire. It\u2019s mostly me writing the songs and Hank producing them — but lately Hank has started writing some.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m writing a song, it\u2019s usually the lyrics that come first. Other times, we\u2019ll be jamming and I\u2019ll start improvising. I\u2019ve already written three new songs for the next album.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSongs from the new album make up 60 per cent of our live show. The album songs sound better live than they do on record. We\u2019re really a live-oriented band. And, it\u2019s just the two of us — bass and drums.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for Cupcakes & Hank — https:\/\/youtu.be\/CxsaG27UJIM<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at Bourbon and Branch will begin at 8 p.m. with a trio of opening acts — Harrowgrove, Kim Jong Ill and The City Music Project. Tickets are $7 in advance and $10 at the door.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other shows over the next week at Bourbon and Branch will be The Stammer, The Head, Uncle Father, Oscar and The Icks on September 17, The Late Saints, This Way to the Egress, and Black Horse Motel\u00a0 on September 18, MI$TRO with Yung Nilo on September 19, and The Plums, Up The Chain, The Dawn Drapes, and Tiger Left, Tiger Right on September 22.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mynabirds<\/p><\/div>\n

When Saddle Creek recording artists Georgie James broke up a few years ago, Laura Burhenn stayed with the Saddle Creek label and embarked on a solo project called The Mynabirds.<\/span><\/p>\n

On September 23, The Mynabird will be in Philly for a show at Boot and Saddle (1131 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, 215-639-4528, www.bootandsaddlephilly.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Burhenn recorded The Mynabirds\u2019 first album \u201cWhat We Lose in the Fire We Gain in the Flood\u201d with producer Richard Swift in 2010 and then spent a year performing with Conor Eberst\u2019s Bright Eyes touring band.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2011, Burhenn and Swift reunited to record The Mynabirds\u2019 sophomore album \u201cGenerals.\u201d The album, which was also released by Saddle Creek, met with positive reviews. The album, which made many of the various \u201cBest Albums of 2012\u201d lists, was a powerful statement — a protest record for 2012 and concept album with a timeless feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Mynabirds\u2019 first album was a quiet disc characterized by Zen meditations and introspection. \u201cGenerals\u201d headed in the opposite direction — loud, powerful and extroverted.<\/span><\/p>\n

It has been a three-year wait for a new album by The Mynabirds but it was worth it. \u201cLovers Know,\u201d which was released on August 7 on Saddle Creek, features 12 songs — emotive songs that reach out and touch listeners. Every song is stellar. It\u2019s personal and confessional — and there isn\u2019t a weak track on the disc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Burhenn and her band are on a coast-to-coast tour in support of the new disc.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m booking a van myself and going out on tour,\u201d said Burhenn, during a recent phone interview from her home in Los Angeles. \u201cIt\u2019s still pretty DIY.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI started writing songs for the new album when I was still on tour with Postal Service two years ago. I wanted to write the most emotionally vulnerable and open songs that I ever have. My producer Bradley Hanan Carter really helped me. I loved working with Richard Swift for my first two records also. He was really great.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was an English major when I was at Catholic University. When I was writing these songs, I wanted to make sure I wasn\u2019t hiding behind metaphors. It was a really difficult record to write. It\u2019s all about heartbreak.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I came back from the Postal Service tour, the longest relationship I had ever been in was dissolving. \u2018Generals\u2019 was all about knowing. \u2018Lovers Know\u2019 is about not knowing. I was inspired by William Faulkner. It\u2019s about me being on the road, getting lost and then finding myself.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEarly last year, I went to a friend\u2019s studio in Nashville and then brought the tracks back to L.A. The record is put together a lot like a hip-hop cut-and-paste — put together like a real collage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Burhenn did a lot of work on the album in New Zealand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBradley (Carter) is from Auckalnd and he wanted to work with friends of his there,\u201d said Burhenn. \u201cHe was going there to visit his family. I looked at my air miles and realized I could go to New Zealand cheap — $72 round trip to Auckland. So, I went.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Burhenn\u2019s travels are taking her across America.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud of the live show,\u201d said Burhenn. \u201cWe\u2019re able to re-create most of the album live onstage. I like for there to be differences between live siongs and the album.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe bigger challenge — every record I\u2019ve made is different so it\u2019s a challenge to put a set together. But, we\u2019ve got it down. It\u2019s pretty holistic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at Boot & Saddle will start at 8:30 p.m. with opening acts The Downtown Club and Bad Bad Hats. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"bad<\/a>

Bad Bad Hats<\/p><\/div>\n

Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota featuring Kerry Alexander (vocals, guitar), Chris Hoge (drums), and Noah Boswell (bass).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe all met at Macalester College in Saint Paul when we were students there,\u201d said Alexander, during a recent phone interview from Minneapolis. \u201cIt just happened — and then worked out really well.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBefore I started working with Chris and Noah, I was playing a lot of open mics at a coffee shop near school. I played a fair amount of covers and was making demos on my computer with GarageBand.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in a musical household. My mom plays viola. I took violin lessons when I was younger and also studied piano. When I got older, I didn\u2019t see how I could make the music I liked with those instruments. So, I picked up guitar when I was about 13. I was listening to Michelle Branch and Alanis Morisette. Letters to Cleo was the band that got me rocking out more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Alexander and Hoge started writing songs together in 2010 and recorded a collection of demos that would later become their first EP. The addition of Boswell in 2012 solidified the line-up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Afternoon Records signed the trio and released its EP \u201cIt Hurts\u201d in early 2013. Bad Bad Hats just released their debut LP \u201cPsychic Reader\u201d on July 17th.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bolstered by the experimental touches of the album\u2019s producer Brett Bullion, \u201cPsychic Reader\u201d draws from the influences of all three members and explores a variety of musical styles over the course of 33 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the songs we wanted to make and the sounds we wanted to make, it was time to go into the studio and do an album,\u201d said Alexander. \u201cIt took about a month-and-a-half to make.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are 10 songs but it\u2019s only just over 30 minutes. The songs are short and sweet. We\u2019ve been practicing a bunch of them and found that we\u2019re actually playing them a little slower live. But, we\u2019re bringing a drummer with us and we\u2019re going to pump it up on this tour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Other acts coming to Boot & Saddle this week are Nick Diamonds and Small Feet on September 17, Teenage Bottlerocket, PEARS, Mannequin Pussy, The Weaks on September 18, Algiers and Dark Blue on September 19, Dogs On Acid, The Past Haunts (ex-Piebald), Spill, Spelling Reform on September 21, and Potty Mouth, Marge and Hoop on September 22.<\/span><\/p>\n

On An On<\/p><\/div>\n

Another band from Minneapolis will be visiting the area on September 18 when On An On plays a show at MilkBoy Philly (1100 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 215- 925-6455, www.milkboyphilly.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

On An On, an indie rock band that was formed just over three years ago in Minnesota, features Nate Eiesland (vocals, guitar), Ryne Estwing (bass) and Alissa Ricci (keyboards).<\/span><\/p>\n

The band put out its first album \u201cGive In\u201d in 2013. The trio is now touring in support of its recently-released sophomore album \u201cAnd The Wave Has Two Sides.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAlissa and I grew up together in upstate Minnesota,\u201d said Eiesland, during a recent phone interview from L.A. \u201cWe went to day school together in Brainerd. Ryne and I met in college. We kept crossing paths and got to know each other better.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe just started playing shows together. We connected right from the start. But, we were playing and living in different cities — me and Liss in Minneapolis and Ryne in Chicago. We needed to live in the same city so Alisa and I moved to Chicago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was back in 2012. Soon, we started touring a lot. We were nomads for several years. We were never in one place for more than a few weeks. After \u2018Give In\u2019 our touring slowed down.<\/span><\/p>\n

About two years ago we settled down in Minneapolis. It was more just a home base. We didn\u2019t do many shows while we were there because we didn\u2019t want to overplay Minnesota.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd The Wave Has Two Sides\u201d came out on Roll Call Records on July 24 this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the songs on the new album started years ago,\u201d said Eiesland. \u201cSome we written on the road when we were touring \u2018Give In.\u2019 When we settled down, we really started working on the songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cComing up on a year ago, we went to L.A. to make the record with producer Joe Chiccarelli at Sunset Sound. What a great studio that is. So many amazing records have been done there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur manager sent Joe some demos and he got back to us within an a hour. We were really excited that he wanted to work with us. We spent two-and-a-half months on pre-production, recording and mixing. It was the longest we ever spent on a recording.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The team came up with a groove-oriented pop\/rock record that puts people in a dancing mood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe played live in the studio,\u201d said Eiesland. \u201cThat was the main driving force. We wanted to get back to the sense of people playing in a room. We wanted to get that energy into the microphone. It was a huge perk working with Joe because he\u2019s not too heavy-handed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur live show is a little different every night. It\u2019s about 60\/40 with new and old songs. We play a lot of new stuff — and a lot of older stuff that people still want to hear.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for On An On — https:\/\/youtu.be\/me3p6AmGzEI<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at MilkBoy will start at 8:30 p.m. with opening acts Eliot Sumner and Dosh. Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

David Uosikkinen of In The Pocket<\/p><\/div>\n

Minnesota has a huge amount of residents who trace their roots to the Scandinavian countries — Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. David Uosikkinen, a local musician who has been a mainstay on the Philly music scene for decades, also has Scandinavian roots. His family came from Finland.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just toured Europe with the Hooters\u2019 \u201835 Alive\u2019 tour,\u201d said Uosikkinen, during a phone interview last week. \u201cWe went to Norway, Sweden, Germany and Switzerland but we didn\u2019t get to Finland. We did 30 shows over there. It was a great test of our stamina. Fortunately, everyone came back with all limbs attached.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Uosikkinen will bring the latest installment of the live performance side of his \u201cIn the Pocket\u201d project to the Ardmore Music Hall (23 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, 610-649-8389,\u00a0www.ardmoremusic.com<\/span><\/a>) on September 19. The band will introduce the new song in its repertoire — Tommy Conwell\u2019s \u201cWalkin\u2019 on the Water.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Uosikkinen is the drummer for the Hooters, one of Philadelphia\u2019s all-time favorite bands. For his In the Pocket project — both live and in the studio — Uosikkinen uses a revolving lineup of Philadelphia\u2019s most celebrated musicians to perform covers of tunes from Philly\u2019s rich rock music history<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I produce any song for In the Pocket, I grab a cool group of guys and do sessions,\u201d said Uosikkinen. \u201cI do it old school with everybody playing together. And, all the sessions are saved on video. I use ProTools to record the music. I use the console and then run it through tape. It just gives it that nice hug.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWalkin\u2019 on the Water\u201d is the title song of an album that was released in 1986 by Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI chose it because it\u2019s an autobiographical song for Tommy Conwell,\u201d said Uosikkinen. \u201cIt\u2019s early, brash Tommy Conwell from the time of his first indie record and his album on Columbia. And, the story of the song is terrific.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Pocket\u2019s\u00a0version of \u201cWalkin\u2019 on the Water\u201d features Dave Hause (The Loved Ones) on lead vocals, Tommy Conwell (The Young Rumblers) on guitar, Steve Butler (Smash Palace) on guitar, Eric Bazilian (The Hooters) on bass and guitar, Wally Smith (Crosstown Traffic) on keyboards, David Kershner on trumpet, Bobby Michaels on tenor saxophone, Mike Hood on trombone, Samuel Uosikkinen on background vocals and David Uosikkinen (The Hooters) on drums.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe cut the song in April at Studio Four with (producer) Phil Nicolo on the board,\u201d said\u00a0Uosikkinen. \u201cWe\u2019ve used Phil and Studio Four for the last handful of releases. We also videotaped the recording session.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The new recording was the 13<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span>\u00a0installment of In the Pocket\u2019s series of re-imagining Philly music classics. The other classics are \u201cFall in Philadelphia,\u201d \u201cBeat Up Guitar,\u201d \u201cA Woman\u2019s Got the Power,\u201d \u201cI Saw the Light,\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u201cAll My Mondays,\u201d \u201cOpen My Eyes,\u201d \u201cYou Can\u2019t Sit Down,\u201d\u00a0\u201cSoon You\u2019ll Be Gone,\u201d \u201cChange Reaction,\u201d \u201cDisco Inferno,\u201d \u201cPunk Rock Girl\u201d and \u201cI Ain\u2019t Searchin\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was 13<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> In the Pocket song,\u201d said Uosikkinen. \u201cWe\u2019re going to keep on doing it. We started in 2010 with \u2018All My Mondays.\u2019 Every song we do has to be Philly-oriented. There has to be a Philly connection.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fratellis<\/p><\/div>\n

The international flavor will also be on display on September 22 when the Fratellis headline a show at the Theatre of the Living Arts (334 South Street, Philadelphia, 215-222-1011, http:\/\/www.lnphilly.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Fratellis are a rock-and-roll band from Glasgow, Scotland featuring lead vocalist\/uitarist Jon Fratelli (born John Lawler), bassist Barry Fratelli (born Barry Wallace), and drummer\/backing vocalist Mince Fratelli (born Gordon McRory).<\/span><\/p>\n

They rose to international stardom on the success of their Top 10 hit singles \u201cChelsea Dagger\u201d and \u201cWhistle For The Choir.\u201d Since their formation in 2005, the Fratellis have released four albums — \u201cCostello Music\u201d (2006), \u201cHere We Stand\u201d (2008), \u201cWe Need Medicine\u201d (2013) and their new album \u201cEyes Wide, Tongue Tied\u201d (2015).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new album was mostly written last summer,\u201d said Jon Fratelli, during a trans-Atlantic phone interview last week from his home in Glasgow. \u201cWe recorded it in October.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEyes Wide, Tongue Tied\u201d is an 11-song power-charged album recorded in Los Angeles with Tony Hoffer, producer-architect of both their debut album and of Jon\u2019s solo album \u201cPsycho Jukebox.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not a chore to go to Los Angeles,\u201d said Fratelli. \u201cIt\u2019s quite the opposite. We just wanted to work with Tony as our producer. Almost all the records I\u2019ve made have been made in L.A.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the Fratellis, it\u2019s mostly me doing the songwriting. I just let the songs come out. I just try to let myself get out of the way enough to let the songs come — and to stay awake enough. We don\u2019t think about making a record until the songs are already there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the Beatles in our DNA. You can\u2019t escape it, can you? My record collection hasn\u2019t evolved since I was 17. I never felt a need to add to it. The Beatles are there. Dylan was my second love — and the most important one. It\u2019s all basic rock.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike many bands, the members of the Fratellis have no prior history together before the formation of the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe met through adverts placed on music message boards in Glasgow,\u201d said Fratelli. \u201cI had a bunch of songs and a small label in Glasgow wanted me to do an album for them.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe three of us got connected and from the first time in the rehearsal room, it was obvious that it would work. We were shambolic from the start and shambolic for the next few years.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Their path led them to the making of \u201cEyes Wide, Tongue Tied\u201d — unquestionably their best album so far.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe only spent about four weeks in the studio,\u201d said Fratelli. \u201cWe\u2018re not the kind of band that will spend endless hours making a record. The new album was certainly the easiest we\u2019ve ever made — easy to write, easy to record and it\u2019s easy to listen to.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Finger Eleven<\/p><\/div>\n

Finger Eleven, which is headlining a show on September 23 at the Electric Factory (421 North Seventh Street, Philadelphia, 215-627-1332, www.electricfactory.info<\/span><\/a>), is a rock band from Burlington, Ontario, that came into existence in 1989.<\/span><\/p>\n

The quartet — Scott Anderson (vocals), James Black (guitar), Rick Jackett (guitar) and Sean Anderson (bass) — has released seven total studio albums (six as Finger Eleven and one as Rainbow Butt Monkeys) with the album \u201cThe Greyest of Blue Skies\u201d serving as the breakthrough disc. The band\u2019s \u201cFinger Eleven\u201d album in 2003 went gold in the United States and platinum in Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Finger Eleven began writing the follow-up to its 2010 album \u201cLife Turns Electric,\u201d the four musicians all agreed they wanted to do something different. The result was \u201cFive Crooked Lines,\u201d which was released on July 31, 2015 on the Bicycle Music Company\/Concord label.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever since they first started making music together in high school in 1990, they have experimented with a variety of styles such as hard rock, classic rock, heavy blues and textural pop. So, over a two-and-a-half year period, they decided to try a bit of everything over a multitude of writing sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we went to write it, we were pretty aware that we wanted to do something different,\u201d said Jackett, during a phone interview last week from his home in Toronto. \u201cWe wanted to take a different approach — a lot of writing without obsessing over small details.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe took a lot of time to make this record because we focused on songwriting — on the skeleton of the song. We didn\u2019t want to overproduce it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver the last six to seven years, there was pressure on the band to keep going and doing what we\u2019ve been doing. With the new record, right off the bat one of our biggest goals was to not repeat ourselves. This record was our biggest leap.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the first 10 songs, we thought if we released it, it wouldn\u2019t be our best. We just decided to go away and not come back until we were ready. We spent a lot of time on the songwriting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When all the songs were ready, the band headed down to a home studio in West Nashville where producer Dave Cobb helped them narrow the list of songs to be recorded down to 12 and then record them at break neck speed.\u00a0 The foursome knew it needed the record to capture the old-school atmospheres of some of its favorite classic rock records.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe coolest part after doing so much writing was going to Nashville,\u201d said Jackett. \u201cWe did the whole record — including the mixing — in 15 days. Usually, it takes us about six weeks to make an album.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe band has always had a wide variety of music we like — as individuals and as a band. There are certain bands we all agree on — Pink Floyd,\u00a0 Genesis, Led Zeppelin, the Beatles. Genesis — early Genesis — was really important.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe went back to our original favorites. We embraced some of the old bands we loved like Black Sabbath. We\u2019re all massive song fans and I think it shows in the songs we\u2019ve written for the new record.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jackie Green<\/p><\/div>\n

Salinas is a small city in central California with a population of just over 150,000. It an area known for growing produce and even had a minor league baseball team called the Salinas Packers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city\u2019s list of famous natives includes author John Steinbeck, singer-actress Vanessa Hudgens, and former Van Halen lead singer Sammy Hagar.<\/span><\/p>\n

On September 23, the World Caf\u00e9 Live (3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 215-222-1400, philly.worldcafelive.com<\/span><\/a>) will present a show with Jackie Greene as the headliner and Lauren Shera as the opening act — both of whom lived in Salinas during their young lifetimes. Ironically, they never were in the city at the same time and their paths crossed later in their careers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greene, who grew up and still lives in the Sacramento area, is currently touring in support of his new album \u201cBack to Birth,\u201d which was released on August 21 on Yep Roc Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has released six previous albums including \u201c<\/i>Rusty Nails\u201d <\/i>(2000), \u201cGone Wanderin\u2019\u201d <\/i>(2002), \u201cSweet Somewhere Bound\u201d (2005), \u201cAmerican Myth\u201d (2006), \u201cGiving Up The Ghost\u201d <\/i>(2008) and \u201cTill the Light Comes\u201d <\/i>(2010).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI actually started writing the new album in 2012 and then put it on the back burner,\u201d said Greene, during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Seattle. \u201cFor five years, I had a lot of extracurricular activities.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2012 Greene, Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead and Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes embarked on an acoustic tour. They called themselves the Weir, Robinson, Greene trio, or WRG for short. In late 2012, the Black Crowes announced that Greene would be joining their lineup starting the following spring.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last year, Greene hooked up with Steve Berlin, who is the horn player for Los Lobos and a top-flight record producer. Together, they made \u201cBack to Birth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSteve and I met over 10 years ago,\u201d said Greene. \u201cHe produced a couple of my record in 2006 and 2007. We probably first met when I opened for Los Lobos. When it came time to make this record, doing it with Steve was a natural. He has a no-nonsense attitude and we\u2019re not afraid to step on each other\u2019s toes if we think something should be done differently.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe recording went real smooth. We knew ahead of time what we were going to do in the studio because we didn\u2019t have much time. We had a pretty straight-forward approach. I had about 40 songs when I first started making demos in 2012. I got 15-18 songs and then whittled it down to 10 or 11.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis time, we knew what the 11 songs would be. They were written over the last five years. A couple of them had been floating around in our sets here and there. We recorded the album at Supernatural Studio in Oregon City, Oregon because Steve lives near there and because the studio had a good piano sound.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The result was an album filled with well-crafted songs with insightful lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n

Referring to the new disc, Greene said, \u201cWe live in such a fast-paced, hectic environment, I wanted to make a record that would invite people to step back and take their time to listen. I wanted to make a record that would reward people who are willing to sit down and give it a couple of serious listens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMusically, this album is kind of a return to the simplicity of the records that I started with, although I feel like I have a much better idea of what I\u2019m doing now. I think the lyrics are the parts that have really evolved.\u00a0A lot of these songs explore the notion of a cyclical existence, and the sense that life goes in a circle. \u00a0I want the songs to come from a place that\u2019s meaningful to me, but I also want to keep them as simple and direct as I can.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Lauren Shera<\/p><\/div>\n

While Greene is a native Californian, Shera was a transplant to the Golden State.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was born in New York and my family moved to California when I was eight,\u201d said Shera, during a phone interview last week from a tour stop in Portland, Oregon. \u201cWe lived in Monterey, Salinas and Carmel Valley. So, I pretty much consider myself a Californian.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy family was very musical. Both my parents played so there was a lot of live music in our house. My mom plays piano and sings and my dad is a drummer. They used to have song cycles at our house with different musicians performing together. As I got older, I started performing in those song cycles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI started playing guitar when I was 13 because I wanted to put my poetry to music. I began writing poetry when I was 11 and was winning poetry awards when I was 13 and 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was 18, I moved to Santa Cruz and then a year later I moved to Chicago to study at the Old Town School of Folk Music. I was learning a lot about guitar skills. I also was taking classes in songwriting and music theory. And, I learned how to play clawhammer banjo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Shera\u2019s time in Chicago pointed the way to the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t until I moved to Chicago that I realized that music was something I wanted to do as a career,\u201d said Shera. \u201cI became more focused. While in Chicago, I wrote most of the songs for my \u2018Once I was a Bird\u2019 album. It was a very important and cathartic process. I moved back to Santa Cruz and recorded that album there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I Was A Bird,\u201d which was produced by Andy Zenczak at Gadgetbox Studios in Santa Cruz, was released on June 7, 2011. Her next album was \u201cGold and Rust,\u201d which came out this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a long gap between albums because I\u2019m a slow writer,\u201d said Shera. \u201cIt takes me awhile to compile songs for a record. After I made \u2018Gold and Rust,\u2019 I took my time releasing it. I didn\u2019t want it to be an independent release. Then, I met Dave Frank from Big Sin Records and signed with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

After finishing the recording of the new album, Shera relocated again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI moved to Nashville in July 2012,\u201d said Shera. \u201cMany of the songs were inspired by things in California.\u00a0 Knowing that I was about to be leaving California inspired some of the songs but I don\u2019t think I ever planned to do a \u2018Farewell to California\u2019 album.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Black Ryder<\/p><\/div>\n

Another West Coast-based act will be playing Philly on September 22 when The Black Ryder takes the stage at Union Transfer (1026 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, 215-232-2100, www.utphilly.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Like Bobby and CoCo and Cupcakes & Hank, The Black Ryder features a musical couple — but it\u2019s a couple with a twist. Their relationship as a couple initially existed both romantically and musically. Now, it is just musically.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Black Ryder was formed in Sydney, Australia in 2007 by Aimee Nash (Vocals, Guitar, Keyboards, Percussion) and Scott Von Ryper (Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Percussion).<\/span><\/p>\n

Their debut album \u201cBuy the Ticket, Take the Ride\u201d was released in 2009 in Australia. The album came out in America in 2010 on the Anti-Machine Machine label — the same year that Nash and Von Ryper moved to Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

In February this year, The Black Ryder released its sophomore album \u201cThe Door Behind the Door\u201d — again on the Anti-Machine Machine label.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere were reasons for the long time between albums,\u201d said Nash, during a phone interview last week from her home in L.A. \u201cWe moved from Sydney to L.A. in 2010 and started writing the record.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded it ourselves so we had to assemble a band. There were a lot of changes we were going through. There are a lot of challenges when you relocate to a country and don\u2019t know anyone there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe actually finished the record a year before it was released. The music industry has changed so much. We have our own label released through a distribution deal. Things took time. There was no pre-written plan. We were just trying to join all the dots.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And, there was the relationship thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cScott and I were a couple when we made the first record and then there were a lot of changes,\u201d said Nash. \u201cIt happened back in Australia. It was amicable. We didn\u2019t really have a breakup song. We just reached the end of the road together that way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe still collaborate well musically. We\u2019ve known each other for more than half our lives. Just because our marriage didn\u2019t work out didn\u2019t mean that we should let the music go. This is the third band we\u2019ve been in together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a message behind the title \u201cThe Door Behind the Door.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne door closes and another door opens,\u201d said Nash. \u201cThat way, you keep moving forward. I\u2019m a \u2018glass half-full kind of person.\u2019 Bring in a band is hard work but we wouldn\u2019t be doing it if we didn\u2019t love it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
