Friday, June 19th 7:30PM Caravan of Thieves CD RELEASE PARTY (Gypsy Swingin' Serenading Firebreathing Circus Freaks)
Within that first year, Caravan of Thieves
began to win immediate praise for their
unique blend of gypsy swing and popular
music, inspiring them to record and
release the debut full length album
Bouquet (2009). To accompany this
collection of dramatic and satirical tales,
they built an interactive stage set of
percussive junk and the quartet took their
newly animated show on the road. Now
the group gear up for their newest release,
KISS KISS, which comes out March 31. KISS KISS combines the dark humor and sarcastic social
commentary of their previous efforts with an added emphasis on love and all the beauty and danger it
brings. They have created the music to match, adding in tuba, beat box, and everything including the
kitchen sink to draw listeners into the Caravan of Thieves’ world. CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS

Friday, August 21st 7:30PM Jarekus Singleton ALLIGATOR RECORDS RELEASE PARTY (Rock/Soul/Blues)
At just 30 years old, Jarekus Singleton is a musical trailblazer with a bold vision for the future of the
blues. Springing from the same Mississippi soil as Charley Patton, Muddy Waters and B.B. King,
Singleton’s cutting-edge sound—equally rooted in rap, rock and blues traditions—is all his own. He
melds hip-hop wordplay, rock energy and R&B grooves with contemporary and traditional blues, turning
audiences of all ages into devoted fans. With his untamed guitar licks and strong, soulful voice
effortlessly moving from ferocious and funky to slow and steamy to smoking hot, Singleton is a fresh,
electrifying bluesman bursting at the seams with talent. Singleton's Alligator debut, Refuse To Lose,
features a scintillating guitar attack and lyrically startling original songs all sung with a natural
storyteller’s voice. CLICK HERE FOR TICKETS
