The Mavericks are one of those bands.<\/p>\n<p>The band came together in Miami just over 25 years ago and immediately built a strong following with its eclectic mix of rock, country, Latin, rockabilly, standards and cowpunk.<\/p>\n<p>Despite personnel changes, financial difficulties, internal conflicts, a few periods in limbo and a variety of other challenges, the Mavericks are still going strong more than a quarter-century later.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, the group released its new studio album \u201cBrand New Day\u201d on its own label \u2013 Mono Mundo Recordings.<\/p>\n<p>The current line-up of The Mavericks includes founding members Raul Malo (vocals) and Paul Deakin (drums). Jerry Dale McFadden has been the band\u2019s keyboardist since 1994 and guitarist Edie Perez joined in 2003.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off of a sold-out album release show at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and a historic trip to Havana, Cuba to tape an upcoming PBS special, The Mavericks continue their trek from East Coast to West Coast in support of \u201cBrand New Day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recorded \u2018Brand New Day\u2019 throughout the year in 2016 and we\u2019re still working the album,\u201d said Malo, during a recent phone from his home in Nashville.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe split up the touring duties. Instead of hitting every place within a few months, we spread the tour out \u2013 for our own sake.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t hit every place that we wanted. That also gave us time to go to Europe. We did a month over there and we\u2019re going back this summer to do some festivals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrand New Day\u201d keeps selling and keeps drawing new fans to the band\u2019s camp.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recorded some of it a Capitol\u2019s studios in L.A.,\u201d said Malo. \u201cWith this record, instead of waiting for an entire batch of songs to be written, we\u2019d book time in the studio as I wrote the songs. Then, we\u2019d have time to tinker with them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI like to play some of the songs first before going into the studio with them. So, we\u2019d sneak some into our live set along the way. Infusing new material into a set makes it fun for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have an interesting situation compared to most bands. Our fans really like to hear our new songs live. We can put a new song in the set and leave out one of our big hits and no-one will bat an eyelash.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe find a good balance between old and new. We make sets lists that we like and we know audiences will like.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBrand New Day\u201d\u00a0represents a milestone for The Mavericks\u2019 career. The collection is the first independent full-length studio release on their label, Mono Mundo Recordings.<\/p>\n<p>The group chose to break away and become the sole overseers of their creative process, label and management and take full control of their long-standing career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt really came down to how the business was working for us,\u201d said Malo. \u201cNow, we\u2019re able to work the way we want to because we\u2019ve taken control of all aspects of our business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way businesses are set up for a band like us, we can\u2019t afford to be on a major label. It wasn\u2019t working for us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith what we\u2019re doing now, the power is in our hands to do what we want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This business model is especially important for a band whose music spans a wide range of genres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re a band you can\u2019t describe,\u201d said Malo. \u201cPolka, Cuban, country, rock \u2013 we play it all but never call ourselves any of it. We were named the Americana Music Awards Duo\/Group of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also earned two Grammy nominations \u2014 Best American Roots Song for \u2018All Night Long\u2019 and Best Americana Album for \u2018Mono.\u2019 We won our first Grammy in 1996 for Best Country Performance by A Duo or Group with Vocal for \u2018Here Comes the Rain.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, I never ever said we were a country group. From a general point of view, we\u2019re just a rock and roll band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans of the Mavericks will be glad to know that the Mavericks are working on new recordings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been in the studio working on two albums,\u201d said Malo. \u201cWe\u2019re doing a Christmas album that will be released later this year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor next year, we\u2019re working on a Latin album. We\u2019ve been working hard on it. We want to start playing shows in Central America and Latin America with this incarnation. Back in the day, we only went to Brazil one time. So, we\u2019re making it a priority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Video link for The Mavericks \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/ezv2q99BGK8\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/ezv2q99BGK8<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The show at the Grand will start at 8 p.m. Ticket prices start at $35.<\/p>\n<p>Another upcoming show at the Grand is Jeanne Roberston on April 7.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6893\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/candlebox-Brilive.jpeg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6893\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6893\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/candlebox-Brilive.jpeg-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6893\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Candlebox Acoustic<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On April 6, Harrah\u2019s Philadelphia\u2019s The Block (777 Harrah\u2019s Boulevard, Chester, 484-490-1800, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.caesars.com\/harrahs-philly\">http:\/\/www.caesars.com\/harrahs-philly<\/a>) will host Candlebox Acoustic, featuring Brian Quinn, a guitarist from Philly, and Kevin Martin, lead vocalist and only remaining founding member of Candlebox.<\/p>\n<p>Candlebox Acoustic does not mean that Candlebox is breaking up \u2013 or even slowing down slightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re doing some shows as just a duo,\u201d said Martin, during a phone interview Tuesday from his home in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBriand and I have played together a lot. He\u2019s a Philly boy. We just do these acoustic shows for fun. We don\u2019t like to always do band shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuo shows are a lot more fun than going out with a band project. And, it\u2019s a lot easier. We do it two or three times a year \u2013 four-to-eight shows. We haven\u2019t played Philly in a while, so we squeezed this show in before our shows in New York and Boston.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the past four years, Candlebox has been Adam Kury on bass, Island Styles on rhythm guitar, Brian on lead guitar and myself on vocals. The drummer situation is a never-ending source of confusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Styles is the most recent member to join having come onboard in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCandlebox hasn\u2019t stopped touring since I joined in the summer of 2015,\u201d said Quinn, during a recent phone interview.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI picked up in the middle of a tour and we really haven\u2019t taken a break since. We\u2019re doing shows with the full band and we\u2019re also doing this acoustic thing with Kevin and me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout three or four years ago, Kevin decided he wanted to go out and do an acoustic treatment of Candlebox songs. Occasionally, he\u2019d do a duo with the bass player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I joined the band, he pulled me in to do the acoustic thing. For the last two years, I\u2019ve been doing all the acoustic shows with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Candlebox is a band from Seattle, Washington. The group has released six studio albums, which have achieved multi-platinum and gold certification, as well as numerous charting singles, a compilation, and a CD+DVD. Formed in November 1990, Candlebox originally consisted of lead singer Kevin Martin, guitarist Peter Klett, bassist Bardi Martin, and drummer Scott Mercado.<\/p>\n<p>When Candlebox was in its early days, Quinn was a young musician in Pennsylvania \u2013 and a devoted Candlebox fan.<\/p>\n<p>In the late 1990s, Quinn moved from his hometown of Pittston (PA) to Philadelphia. Soon after arriving, he co-founded the Philadelphia-based rock band\u00a0Octane\u00a0(2000-2005).\u00a0During this time, Quinn was named \u201cBest Guitarist\u201d in the Philadelphia region by the Philadelphia Music Awards in 2001 and 2004.<\/p>\n<p>After five successful years with Octane, Quinn left the band to form a blues-based hard rock band that would later become known as\u00a0Fosterchild.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Quinn joined Candlebox a few years ago when the band needed to replace its guitarist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKevin and I were labelmates when I was with Fosterchild,\u201d said Quinn, who now lives in King of Prussia. \u201cWe met at a label showcase and stayed in touch after that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI played on two tunes with his side project Le Projet. When personnel changes started with Candlebox, he asked me to join the band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acoustic shows reflect a different side of Candlebox.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very much like a storyteller\u2019s situation,\u201d said Quinn, who is a graduate of West Chester University. \u201cIt\u2019s interesting for me \u2013 especially not being an original member. Their first album came out when I was in high school and I was a big fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe acoustic show has its own feel. With electric guitars and amps, there\u2019s a lot to hide behind. With an acoustic show, there isn\u2019t. It really showcases the integrity of the writing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Candlebox fans are anxious for a new album \u2013 and so is the band.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe keep wanting to get in the studio to do an EP but everybody\u2019s schedule is so busy,\u201d said Martin. \u201cWe have three days booked in the studio in May and the songs are ready. We\u2019ll make a six-song EP and then release it on BandCamp. There will be no more physical product. The attention span of listeners is changing \u2013 even with our older fans. Less than 10 per cent of the fan base will listen to a whole album.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe spent a lot of time making our last album and several months mixing and mastering. Then, at the end of the day , it only moved 25,000 units.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tour cycle for that album is done, Now, we\u2019re gearing up for our 25<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary celebration of our self-titled debut album. We\u2019re going to do two special shows in Seattle on July 21 and 22 with the original lineup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, with our current lineup, we\u2019ll go out later this year and focus on the first album. We\u2019ll play all the songs. But, unlike the anniversary shows, we won\u2019t play them in order. We\u2019ll also play around eight tracks from our other albums.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Video link for Candlebox Acoustic &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FsrXbuPVKAM\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/FsrXbuPVKAM<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The show at Harrah\u2019s The Block on April 6 will start at 9 p.m. Tickets are $26.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6894\" style=\"width: 198px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/dan-navarro.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6894\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6894\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/dan-navarro-188x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"188\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6894\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dan Navarro<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many, many music fans know Dan Navarro \u2013 not as a solo artist but as one-half of the popular duo Lowen &amp; Navarro.<\/p>\n<p>Lowen &amp; Navarro was a songwriting team composed of David Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro, who met in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s.<\/p>\n<p>They wrote the song \u201cWe Belong,\u201d which became a major hit for Pat Benatar in 1984.\u00a0 They became active as a performing group in 1987. In 1990, they began to release a number of records of their own, including \u201cLearning to Fall\u201d and \u201cPurpose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In March 2004, Lowen was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig\u2019s disease. Because of compromises to his playing and singing, Lowen ceased touring.<\/p>\n<p>The duo played its last shows in June 2009. Lowen died of complications of ALS on March 23, 2012 at the age of 60.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Navarro is touring on his own \u2013 touring in support of his new album \u201cShed My Skin.\u201d The tour will touch down locally with a show on April 6 at The Living Room (35 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, 215-805-5279 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thelivingroomat35east.com\/\">www.thelivingroomat35east.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>After a career spanning decades and a dozen albums with Lowen &amp; Navarro, Navarro is releasing his first true studio-recorded solo album this spring.<br \/>\nRecorded and produced by Steve Postell, the album features Navarro (vocals, guitar, percussion) along with Postell (guitars), Jon Ossman (upright bass),\u00a0Brendan Buckley (drums),\u00a0Peter Adams\u00a0(piano),\u00a0Phil Parlapiano (accordion),\u00a0David Glaser (mandolin),\u00a0and Debra Dobkin (percussion).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was determined to write everything alone,\u201d said Navarro, during a phone interview Wednesday afternoon from his home in Venice, California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt took some adjusting after writing for 20 years in a partnership. I went in with the 12 songs we used. The 12 songs include eight originals, a few obscure covers and a standard thrown in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Navarro\u2019s career started as a songwriter &#8212; most often with\u00a0Lowen &#8212; for artists as diverse as\u00a0Pat Benatar, The Bangles,\u00a0Jackson Browne,\u00a0Dave Edmunds,\u00a0The Temptations,\u00a0Dionne Warwick,\u00a0The Triplets, Marco Borsato, and Rusty Weir.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been in L.A. since high school,\u201d said Navarro. \u201cI grew up in Calexico (CA) and went to UCLA to study music. I moved to L.A. in 1969. I\u2019m 66 and I\u2019m still living here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe thing about this run, it\u2019s not a comeback tour. It\u2019s what I do \u2013 and I keep doing it. I still have the energy to tour and do the drive. It\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 90 per cent of my shows are just me. It maximizes the finances. And, it\u2019s easier to move around. I\u2019m playing folk clubs so I can get away with solo shows. And, I never need to rehearse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Navarro has transitioned smoothly into a busy solo career over the past decade, touring nationally almost constantly.<br \/>\nHe has a parallel career as a voice actor and singer in\u00a0films such as \u201cPirates of the Caribbean 5,\u201d\u00a0\u201cThe Book Of Life,\u201d \u201cRio,\u201d \u201cHappy Feet,\u201d and \u201cThe Lorax\u201d and TV work on variety of shows including \u201cFamily Guy\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cAmerican Dad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been doing solo work for 10 years now and I\u2019ve got it down,\u201d said Navarro. \u201cI do close to 100 dates a year. I don\u2019t see any need to retire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do have to find new things to say. Our generation has to find a way to stay relevant. To do that, you have to say something worth hearing. I\u2019m not trying to be hip \u2013 but, I want to remain relevant.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Video link for Dan Navarro \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/H_uZGnqFlUc\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/H_uZGnqFlUc<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The show at The Living Room will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6895\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/nick-moss-band-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6895\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6895\" src=\"http:\/\/kennetttimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/nick-moss-band-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nick Moss Band<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nick Moss is an American blues musician who has been releasing albums for 20 years.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.305spin.com%2Ft%2Fc.cfm%3Fcid%3D5%26sid%3D9569%26uid%3D150040%26lid%3D7884%26link%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Ealligator%252Ecom%252Fartists%252FNick%252DMoss%252DBand%252Dfeaturing%252DDennis%252DGruenling%252F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C1e9c7dad157548938a7208d594fbc99b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636578731490523629&amp;sdata=2ajqyMDcgg4ICPGCWi6JVKVd%2FtG8QakUH4QYw7iTDvA%3D&amp;reserved=0\">The Nick Moss Band Featuring Dennis Gruenling<\/a> is celebrating its first release on Alligator Records release \u2013 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmailman.305spin.com%2Ft%2Fc.cfm%3Fcid%3D5%26sid%3D9569%26uid%3D150040%26lid%3D7884%26link%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww%252Ealligator%252Ecom%252Falbums%252FThe%252DHigh%252DCost%252DOf%252DLow%252DLiving%252F&amp;data=02%7C01%7C%7C1e9c7dad157548938a7208d594fbc99b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636578731490523629&amp;sdata=qu%2FXPierLSy2DZ5kYhAXuTXtdu5fiztZMaIaaPIAzYs%3D&amp;reserved=0\">The High Cost Of Low Living<\/a>\u201d \u2013 with a support tour.<\/p>\n<p>The tour arrives in the area on April 6 with a show at The Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Avenue, Sellersville, 215-257-5808,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.st94.com\/\">www.st94.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>The album, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard Blues Chart, is a shining example of the classic Chicago blues ensemble sound that world class guitarist\/vocalist Moss and master harmonicist\/vocalist Gruenling have been generating for years.<\/p>\n<p>Moss paid his dues gigging in Chicago\u2019s rough and tumble West and South side blues clubs under the tutelage of some of the city\u2019s greatest blues luminaries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChicago is still my home,\u201d said Moss, during a phone interview Monday evening.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday is a day off and I\u2019ve been out fishing in Bradenton with (Florida blues musician) Doug Deming. No-one was hitting today. We were out fishing the reef for sheephead. All we caught was one snook at the end of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately for Moss, he doesn\u2019t have any trouble reeling in fans with his hard-driving blues sound.<\/p>\n<p>Moss has received 22 Blues Music Award nominations, including this year\u2019s coveted Band Of The Year Award. New Jersey\u2019s Dennis Gruenling, considered among today\u2019s best blues harmonica players,\u00a0has\u00a0been nominated this year for the\u00a0Blues Music Award for Best Instrumentalist &#8211; Harmonica.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMusic was always a big deal in our house when I was growing up,\u201d said Moss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a pretty wide open palate \u2013 Mario Lanza, Dean Martin, Gladys Knight &amp; the Pips, the Eagles. My dad was into early rock-and-roll and doo wop and my mom was into everything.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was around nine or 10 when I got my first guitar. I brushed it off at first because I didn\u2019t have the patience to figure it out. My brother was 13. I\u2019d sneak into his room and play his guitar. He caught me but didn\u2019t get mad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, he bought me a Silvertone Bass and Silvertone amp. He said that if I learned to play bass well, I could play in his band. He needed a bass player. He taught me how to teach myself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was in high school, we started going downtown and sneaking into these blues jams. We started going all in on it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, a time loomed when Moss would have to choose between music and sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was 18, I had scholarship offers from a lot of universities,\u201d said Moss. \u201cI was a state champion wrestler and an all-conference football player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, I had medical problems. I lost 80 per cent of my kidney and that ended my athletic career.\u201d<br \/>\nMoss released his debut album \u201cFirst Offense\u201d in 1998.

Keswick Avenue, Glenside, 215-572-7650,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.keswicktheatre.com\/\">www.keswicktheatre.com<\/a>), was a folk supergroup featuring Richard Shindell, Lucy Kaplansky, and Dar Williams.<\/p>\n<p>The band released a single eponymous album of cover songs on October 13, 1998.<\/p>\n<p>The album was a great success on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Folk_music\">folk music<\/a> radio. Based on <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Playlist\">playlists<\/a> sent to FolkDJ-L, it ranked as the fourth-most-played album by folk music DJs in 1998, the fifth-most-played in 1999, and remained in the top 250 through 2002.<\/p>\n<p>The trio performed together on an extensive tour in 1999 with a focus on the songs from the albums.

He also had booked Dar for some shows. He asked if we\u2019d do a reunion show for last summer\u2019s Clearwater Festival. I think it was expected to be a one-off proposal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it developed into a 12-show, coast-to-coast tour this spring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe never planned on doing a tour \u2013 never planned on any more shows,\u201d said Kaplansky. \u201cNow, we\u2019re out on a 20th anniversary tour.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many fans who missed seeing the first incarnation of Cry Cry Cry were caught off-guard because they never expected such a limited shelf life. As a result, they were left out in the cold.<\/p>\n<p>Fans who pass up on seeing this incarnation when it comes to the Keswick could suffer a similar fate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re doing this tour and it will also be a one-off,\u201d said Kaplansky. \u201cWe have no plans to tour again or do any recording.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is one memento to be had.<\/p>\n<p>Cry Cry Cry just released a brand-new recording of the song \u201cCathedrals,\u201d which premiered on Folk Alley. As always, it is a cover song.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve never written songs for this group,\u201d said Kaplansky. \u201cThere are other people\u2019s songs that we\u2019re singing. We\u2019ll also play some songs each of have done in our solo careers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all playing guitars for these shows. Richard is also playing electric guitar and I\u2019m playing mandolin on some tracks. When the three of us get together, making music is easy.
