Coco Montoya<\/p><\/div>\n

There are various generations of blues artists and they span a really large age range. On October 26, Coco Montoya, one of the country\u2019s best modern blues guitarists, will headline a show at Kennett Flash (102 Sycamore Alley, Kennett Square, 484-732-8295,\u00a0http:\/\/www.kennettflash.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Montoya has built a reputation as an ace guitarist \u2013 a guitarist who spent 10 years in one of the best Anglo-American blues band ever \u2013 a guitarist who had a blues icon as a mentor.<\/p>\n

Not bad for a drummer from Santa Monica, California.<\/p>\n

Montoya, a legendary blues-rock guitarist and vocalist, has just released a new album \u201cComing in Hot\u201d on Alligator Records and is now touring across America in support of his new disc.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cut the album at the end of last year and it just got released in August,\u201d said Montoya, during a recent phone interview from a tour stop in Des Moines, Iowa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must have gone through 120 songs at least \u2013 submitting them and getting them rejected. They go to Bruce (Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer). Rejection bothers you but it\u2019s a process that needs to be done.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy band right now has really taken a big leap. They\u2019re all great players \u2013 Nathan Brown on bass, Rena B. on drums. All my guys are great. They push me to a new level and Jeff Paris on keys and vocals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Montoya has a solid music background.<\/p>\n

\u201cI come from a bunch of different places musically,\u201d said Montoya. \u201cThere\u2019s rock, there\u2019s blues, there\u2019s R&B, there\u2019s jazz. I love the blues. That\u2019s the biggest in my career. But I\u2019ve always been at odds with the music business. I make problems because I like a lot of different things \u2013 even country and jazz. If I like it, I might play it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really believe that you have to play what you like. With blues, you have to be feeling it. It has to be emotionally real. That\u2019s what you really need to get the blues.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he was a kid, Montoya immersed himself in his parents\u2019 record collection. He listened to big band jazz, salsa, doo-wop and rock \u2018n\u2019 roll. His first love was drums and he got his first kit when he was 11.<\/p>\n

He got a guitar two years later, but guitar was his secondary instrument. Montoya turned his love of drumming into his profession, playing in a number of area rock bands while still in his teens and eventually becoming an in-demand drummer.<\/p>\n

Then, at one point in his career, Montoya became a guitar player in the band of a blues icon \u2013 Albert Collins. Later, he joined John Mayall\u2019s Bluesbreakers and played guitar with them for 10 years.<\/p>\n

Both opportunities came by chance,\u201d said Montoya.<\/p>\n

In the early 1970s, Albert Collins was booked to play a matinee at the same small club in Culver City, California where Montoya had played the night before.<\/p>\n

The club owner gave Collins permission to use Montoya\u2019s drums. A few months later, Collins desperately needed a drummer for a tour of the Northwest, and he called Montoya.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he called, I figured we\u2019d rehearse for a few weeks before the tour,\u201d said Montoya. \u201cInstead, he told me he\u2019d pick me up in three hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the tour, Collins took Montoya under his wing, teaching him about blues music and life on the road. After the tour ended, Montoya remained in the band for five more years.<\/p>\n

It was during this time that Montoya began doubling on guitar and Collins went out of his way to teach him.<\/p>\n

Montoya learned everything he could from the legendary \u201cMaster of the Telecaster.\u201d Montoya often pays tribute to his mentor, recording a Collins song on almost every album he\u2019s made.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was almost the same thing with Mayall,\u201d said Montoya. \u201cHe saw me playing at a jam session. His guitarist Mick Taylor was moving on and he needed a guitarist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t even in the music business at that point. I was working as a bartender and just playing guitar for fun. It took Mayall to get me back in the music business.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, Montoya added his name to the list of internationally-acclaimed Bluesbreaker guitarists \u2013 a list that includes Eric Clapton (Cream), Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac) and Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones).<\/p>\n

For the next 10 years, Montoya toured the world and recorded with Mayall \u2014 soaking up the experience of life on the road and in the recording studio.<\/p>\n

By the early 1990s, Montoya had the urge to move on. He put his own band together, toured and released his debut solo album<\/p>\n

\u201cGotta Mind To Travel\u201d in 1995.<\/p>\n

In 1996, he was nominated for four Blues Music Awards and won the award for Best New Blues Artist. His new album \u201cHard Truth\u201d is his 10th studio album.<\/p>\n

Phoebe Legere<\/p><\/div>\n

On October 27, Living Room (35 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, https:\/\/thelivingroomat35east.com<\/a>) will host a special benefit show for arts education featuring Phoebe Legere. All proceeds from this show go to Legere’s nonprofit Foundation for New American Art.<\/p>\n

Legere is the executive director of The Foundation for New American Art, a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit corporation that fosters art and music education programs geared to underserved communities.<\/p>\n

The goal is to educate, nurture and strengthen the artistic and musical spirit of the children of low-income communities, as well as provide support for after-school programs.<\/p>\n

She visits schools, military bases, libraries with encouraging workshops \u2014 most notably her \u201cSongwriting from The Heart.\u201d Proceeds from Legere\u2019s lectures and public performances will go to The Foundation for New American Art.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am dedicated to nurturing the visionary artists of the future,\u201d said Legere. \u201cArt and Music are not extra-curricular. Art and Music are integral to the harmonious development of the human heart and soul.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legere is a talented singer, songwriter, instrumentalist \u2014 a multi-talented artist who is like no other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just been up in Montreal recording some new material,\u201d said Legere. \u201cI\u2019m working with a great producer named Michel le Fran\u00e7ois there and they\u2019re letting me be who I am.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just released a new single called \u2018In Shipwrecks, Pianos Always Float,\u2019 which came out on October 3. It\u2019s really just me playing piano, accordion and singing. It\u2019s on a small label. I\u2019m getting interest from major labels but it\u2019s too early to say anything yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another good thing happening right now for Legere is Yaddo.<\/p>\n

Yaddo is a retreat for artists located on a 400-acre estate in Saratoga Springs, New York. Its mission is to nurture the creative process by providing an opportunity for artists to work without interruption in a supportive environment.<\/p>\n

Yaddo offers residencies to professional creative artists from all nations and backgrounds working in one or more of the following disciplines: choreography, film, literature, musical composition, painting, performance art, photography, printmaking, sculpture, and video.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just got accepted to do a five-week residency with Yaddo in Saratoga Springs,\u201d said Legere. \u201cThat\u2019s exciting. For a rock-and-roller to be accepted at this colony is extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Legere, who has released close to 20 albums, plays seven instruments including one she invented to help physically challenged children play music \u2014 the Sneakers of Samothrace.<\/p>\n

Phoebe Legere is a Juilliard-trained composer in addition to being an internationally recognized visual artist. She offers small collectible paintings after each performance. Each original artwork has a CD embedded within it.<\/p>\n

Her most recent album \u201cHeart of Love\u201d is a hymn to life on the American Highway \u2013 and a Top 20 Americana album.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe musical genre is folk\/Americana,\u201d said Legere, during a phone interview from upstate Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

\u201cI play guitar, Native American flute, piano and accordion. It was released on February 14, 2017 and immediately went Top 20 on the roots charts. It\u2019s all originals \u2013 except for my cover of \u2018Jambalaya.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Legere\u2019s music is a blend of Americana, Cajun, New Orleans jazz, country, folk and blues. She is an award-winning accordion player, virtuoso piano player, a rural folk blues guitar stylist, and an award-winning songwriter.<\/p>\n

A standard-bearer of the Acadian-Cajun renaissance, Legere is descended from one of the original Acadian families in North America.<\/p>\n

Her album \u201cAcadian Moon,\u201d which was released in 2015, received strong radio play in Canada. \u201cHeart of Love\u201d is faring even better \u2013 on both sides of the Canadian-American border.<\/p>\n

\u201cA DJ friend of mine gave me a list of every Americana station in America \u2013 and a list of college stations,\u201d said Legere, who has performed at prestigious venues around the world including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and at the Congr\u00e9s Mondial Acadien.<\/p>\n

Legere, whose debut album \u201cTrust Me\u201d was released by Epic Records in 1986, has a long and diverse artistic resume. She has appeared on National Public Radio, CBS Sunday Morning, ABC, NBC, PBS and Charlie Rose. She also received the prestigious Acker Award for Excellence in the Arts in 2014. In 2015, she appeared in HBO\u2019s documentary \u201cIt\u2019s Me Hilary.\u201d<\/p>\n

While still in her teens, Legere was signed Epic Records as a songwriter. She opened for David Bowie on his National Tour in 1991 and led a number of influential New York bands, including Monad, 4 Nurses of the Apocalypse and her nine-piece swing-punk outfit Swingalicious.<\/p>\n

After the radio success of her 1989 album \u201cMarilyn Monroe\u201d (Island Records), and her appearance in numerous underground films, Legere shifted her focus to avant-garde classical music and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for her work with the Cleveland Chamber Symphony.<\/p>\n

Legere, who has had six of her original plays with music produced in New York City, did not enter the world of entertainment unprepared.<\/p>\n

She graduated from Vassar College, studied composition at the Juilliard School. She also studied piano at the New England Conservatory, and film scoring, orchestration and jazz arranging at the NYU Graduate School of Music Composition.<\/p>\n

Legere studied composition with John Lewis of the Modern Jazz Quartet, Morton Subotnick, Wayne Oquin and Dinu Gezzo. She also studied jazz arranging with Ira Newborn and Rick Shemaria.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got involved in very avant-garde music more than 15 years ago,\u201d said Legere, a versatile artist who created a 15-person, rideable giant Eagle sculpture that runs on alternative energy (learn more about The Shamancycle at Shamancyle.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI did an epic poem with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra \u2013 singing the poem and improvising the music.\u201d<\/p>\n

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

If music fans just looked at a picture of The Vindys, they might assume that it was another female-fronted alt-rock\/pop band.<\/p>\n

As soon as they heard the band\u2019s music, they\u2019d realize it was a totally wrong assumption.<\/p>\n

The Vindys, one of the most sought-after bands in Ohio and the Midwest, have a distinct music style that is an amalgamation of pop, jazz, R&B, modren blues and rock. The group\u2019s singer Jackie Popovec contributes vocals that are warm, sultry and powerful.<\/p>\n

On October 26, The Vindys — Jackie Popovec (vocals\/guitar), John Anthony (guitar\/harmony vocals), Ed Davis (drums\/harmony vocals), and Rick Deak (guitar\/harmony vocals) \u2013 will headline a show at the City Winery\u00a0 (990 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, citywinery.com\/philadelphia\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI write the songs,\u201d said Popovec, during a recent phone interview from her home in Youngstown, Ohio.\u201dThen, I take them to the guys and they put their own thing on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vindys\u2019 show on Saturday night will be their Philadelphia debut.<\/p>\n

According to Popovec, \u201cWe are always excited to see reactions of newer audiences at our shows. This will be our first time not only playing at City Winery but also playing in Philadelphia. We are thrilled to be playing in a city with such a rich music scene and history!\u201d<\/p>\n

Because they are a Youngstown-based band, The Vindys are passionate about representing Youngstown as a place where the music scene is thriving.\u00a0 Their name pays homage to their daily newspaper, The Vindicator.<\/p>\n

All classically trained musicians from the distinguished schools of Capital University Conservatory of Music, Dana School of Music, Slippery Rock University, and Mike Curb College of Music, The Vindys combine their skills and experiences resulting in a depth and maturity in their music that is intricate, yet relatable.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all had music education,\u201d said Popovec. \u201cThe other guys are classically trained while I went to college for music production. We made our first album ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the start, I knew the drummer but the rest of the guys I met through networking. I sat in with a cover band and it worked. We were more together when we were improving cover songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d take covers and make them into jazzy songs \u2013 or we\u2019d take one and speed it up or slow it down. We\u2019d throw originals in every once in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2014, The Vindys released their debut record, \u201cThe Red Wine EP.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Youngstown radio station The Summit 91.3 started playing our record,\u201d said Popovec. \u201cThen, when we plated shows, people were asking for the \u2018Red Wine\u2019 song. We\u2019ve built a pretty diverse audience. The demographic is all over the place \u2013 25-65 and their kids. There is something for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vindys have had a great year so far as they have been prominently featured as part of the Pittsburgh Pirates and AT&T Sports Net \u201cFriday Night Rocks\u201d<\/a> campaign that showcases local bands during Pirates broadcasts.\u00a0\u00a0The experience has exposed the band to countless fans and have seen their Tri-State area fanbase grow tremendously. They saw a huge spike of over 40,000 views over a course of a week when the video for \u201cAre You Ready\u201d, which was shot at Jergel\u2019s Rhythm Grille in Warrendale, was shown on “Friday Night Rocks.”<\/p>\n

They also have played festivals such as Summerfest (Milwaukee, WI) where they won the Emerging Artist Series\u2019 fan favorite of the day. Past winners include Walk the Moon, Nathaniel Rateliff, Maren Morris, Walk Off The Earth, and X Ambassadors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been putting out singles \u2013 three so far,\u201d said Popovec. \u201cWe want to get a five or six song EP out by year\u2019s end. Our next single will be \u2018Morning Light,\u2019 which has more of a pop feel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at City Winery (990 Filbert Street, Philadelphia, citywinery.com\/philadelphia\/<\/a>) will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15.<\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at the City Winery are Jackopierce on October 26, Macy Gray on October 27, Avery Sunshine on October 27, and The Flamin\u2019 Groovies on October 29.<\/p>\n

If you want your music more on the heavy side on Saturday night, then head to The Voltage Lounge (421 North Seventh Street, Philadelphia, 215- 964-9602,www.voltagelounge.com<\/a>). On October 26, the Philly venue is hosting a show Fit For An Autopsy\u2019s \u201cThe Sea of Tragic Beasts Record Release Tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Fit For An Autopsy<\/p><\/div>\n

Fit For An Autopsy is an American metal<\/a> band that formed in 2008 in Jersey City, New Jersey. Fit For An Autopsy have released four studio albums prior to this year.<\/p>\n

On October 25, Fit For An Autopsy — Joe Badolato \u2013 Vocals, Will Putney \u2013 Guitar, Patrick Sheridan \u2013 Guitar, Tim Howley \u2013 Guitar, Peter Spinazola \u2013 Bass, Josean Orta \u2013 Drums — dropped its fifth\u00a0studio album, \u201cThe Sea of Tragic Beasts,\u201d\u00a0via Nuclear Blast Records worldwide and Human Warfare in Australia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been sitting on the new album for a while \u2013 to be honest,\u201d said Sheridan, during a recent phone interview from the band\u2019s studio in North Jersey. \u201cIt\u2019s been finished for six months but Nuclear Blast had a plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was made over a course of time at Will\u2019s studio Graphic Nature. The songs start with the rhythms. Will will lay down the rhythm track because he doesn\u2019t tour with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Putney is an in-demand producer and Graphic Nature is an in-demand studio. As a result, Putney is not able to join FFAA when the band goes out on tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a permanent member of the band \u2013 Tim Howley \u2013 who can pick up what we\u2019re missing from Will,\u201d said Sheridan. \u201cHe\u2019s an important part of the band. He adds in a positive way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the band gets in the studio, things happen quickly. We all work together to write. Fit For An Autopsy was started by Will and me. When he\u2019s producing our band, he understands out strengths and weaknesses. He\u2019s got a particular sound he wants to convey.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruth be known, he is the main writer. When we\u2019re in the studio, hearing him say \u2018that was good but you can do it better\u2019 is a normal thing. It can be frustrating but when you hear the end result all the frustration is worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n

FFAA is now in its second decade as a band.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have evolved,\u201d said Sheridan. \u201cPeople will say it\u2019s a natural progression or it\u2019s planned or we\u2019re lucky. Actually, it\u2019s some of all three.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll these things are going on. Our music is growing, and it has happened organically. Also, we have a want to make something different every time. We never want to make the same album we made before.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the new album, I wouldn\u2019t say we have a theme. But we are influenced by things \u2013 the human condition and how money and greed affect people in our society. There\u2019s a lot of things going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

The all-ages show at the Voltage Lounge, which also features Rivers of Nihil, Lorna Shore, and Cognitive, will start at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at the Voltage Lounge are Wizardfest on October 27, Icon of Fire on October 29, and Max Bemis on October 30.<\/p>\n

Lea Bertucci<\/p><\/div>\n

If you\u2019re in the mood to hear music unlike any other music players at any venue this weekend, check out Ars Nova Workshop\u2019s twin bill featuring Lea Bertucci (alto saxophone, tape machines, electronics) and Deradoorian (flute & electronics). The concert is scheduled for 8 p.m. on October 27 at the Ruba Club (416 Green Street, Philadelphia, www.arsnovaworkshop.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Bertucci is a composer, performer and sound designer whose work describes relationships between acoustic phenomena and biological resonance. In addition to her instrumental practice with woodwind instruments, she often incorporates multi-channel speaker arrays, electroacoustic feedback, extended instrumental technique and tape collage.<\/p>\n

In recent years, her projects have expended toward site-responsive and site-specific sonic investigations of architecture. Deeply experimental, her work is unafraid to subvert musical expectation.<\/p>\n

Her discography includes a number of solo and collaborative releases on independent labels and in 2018, she released the critically acclaimed \u201cMetal Aether\u201d on NNA tapes. Lea is co-editor of the multi-volume artists book The Tonebook<\/a>, a survey of graphic scores by contemporary composers, published on Inpatient Press.<\/p>\n

As a sound designer, Lea has collaborated with dance and theater companies including Big! Dance Theater, Pig Iron Theater, Piehole!, and Mallory Catlett (Restless NYC). Her collaborations extend to other chamber-noise projects, including a recently formed duo with vocalist Amirtha Kidambi.<\/p>\n

As a solo artist, she has performed extensively across the US and Europe with presenters such as PS1 MoMA, Blank Forms, Pioneer Works, The Kitchen, Roulette, The Walker Museum, Caramoor, The Renaissance Society, Chicago, Sound of Stockholm Festival, and Unsound Festival, Krakow. She is a 2016 MacDowell Fellow in composition and a 2015 ISSUE Project Room Artist-in-Residence. In 2018, she received a commission from the American Composers\u2019 Forum for a new percussion trio as well as a brass octet commissioned by the Levy Gorvy Gallery in New York.<\/p>\n

Bertucci is now performing shows featuring music from her new album, \u201cResonant Field.\u201d The LP continues her devotion to the exploration of physical spaces by way of sound, channeled through her alto saxophone. In this sense, \u2018Resonant Field\u2019 is the documentation of a human\u2019s profoundly personal interaction with an inanimate space through the medium of sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cI recorded the album in summer 2017,\u201d said Bertucci, during a recent phone interview from her home in Queens, New York. \u201cI did it when I was an artist-in-residence at Silo City. I wrote a solo quartet for saxophone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was playing in an abandoned grain silo. Some guy bought it for one dollar and started doing art events there. I used the \u2018Marine A\u2019 grain elevator. In the process, I made a bunch of solo recording. That material sat around for a year-and-a-half before I went back to it this year.\u201d<\/p>\n

The decommissioned structure at Silo City is a massive, cavernous space filled with large cast concrete cylinders, measuring approximately 18 feet wide and 130 feet tall. A grain silo that was once active, noisy, loud, and filled with kinetic energy now lays dormant as a silent, hulking concrete corpse, as is the case with many industrial sites across the United States.<\/p>\n

Through playing her saxophone inside this structure, Bertucci\u2019s goal was to excite and activate the space by playing certain pitches and extended techniques. By engaging with the acoustics in this manner, particularly the 12 seconds of natural decay, Bertucci is able to reimagine the saxophone as a polyphonic instrument, creating unique effects of microtonality and complex rhythmic phenomena, facilitated by the distinct delay as the sound bounces from one end of the silo to the other.<\/p>\n

Her microtonal playing moves delicately through the octaves, creating an interactive, responsive dance up and down the frequency scale. These overlapping tones form an extreme density and fills the ears and head with an eternal buzz, while also revealing an array of fluttering psychoacoustic phenomenon to the listener. By using these raw recordings of saxophone as the foundation for more intricate studio compositions, \u201cResonant Field\u201d transcends mere documentation and evolves into a focused, comprehensive and total work at the hands of the artist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been interested in acoustics,\u201d said Bertucci, who grew up in New York\u2019s Hudson Valley. \u201cThe way you play is always changed by the space you\u2019re in. This was a great opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cA big part of my practice deals with site-responsive works \u2013 non-conventional spaces with acoustic, visual and historical elements. I went to Buffalo city records and looked at the architectural drawings of the silo. The recordings that are a result of Silo City are creative documents.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just all acoustic \u2013 no other sources than my alto sax. The building was processing the sound. I\u2019m, interested in trying to get people to listen in a different way.\u201d<\/p>\n

That also includes her live performances.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy live set is a constantly evolving thing,\u201d said Bertucci. \u201cI\u2019m not a conventional performer playing songs from all my albums. Instead, I play music that is always evolving.\u201d<\/p>\n
