SPPS Folk Alliance Showcase: 02.19.10
Audio from our Thursday night showcases is up! Check it out here.
And while you’re listening to these sweet recordings, have a gander at these photos of last night’s showcase revelries, straight from the SPPS Memphis Bureau Desk.
Pre-showcase: Chris “C-Bob” Elliot checks out a banjo at Bob Carlin’s Gold trade show booth.
Boston’s Joy Kills Sorrow opens up the showcase.
Then straight from Ozark, Missouri, it’s The Chapmans!
Looks like they’ve got that crowd rapt.
Brooklyn’s Sweetback Sisters lay it down…
and get the crowd pumped with some flash cards.
Very nice Sisters! (psst is that a drum we spy? How’d you sneak that into Folk Alliance?)
Henhouse Prowlers! Need we say more?
Joy Kills Sexfist? Or does a Sexfist kill Sorrow? Hmm…
Punk legend Tommy Ramone and Claudia Tienan, aka Uncle Monk. What an honor to have them at our showcase!
Laura Cortese & Jefferson Hamer Duo, working their magic.
Allison Williams & Her Band rocking it.
Finally, Eggleston, Virginia’s Old Sledge close down what sounds like a fantastic night of music!
Thanks to Keith and Garian for the photos!
Stay tuned for recordings of Friday night’s showcases, and photo coverage of Saturday night, tomorrow.
