Local Band Showcase

Music Makes a Differenceǃ presents an exciting night showcasing three LOCAL MUSICIAN GROUPSǃǃ Tickets are $10 in advance, or $12 at the door on the day of show. * * * * * * * * * * * Mal-O-Dua is the love-child of two artists who fuse Hawaiian music with French gypsy jazz (and that is just putting it simplyǃ). They feature a slack key guitar, bottle neck guitar, standard tuned guitar, and ukulele. If all of this hasn"t convinced you yet....well, you"re hard to convinceǃ * * * * * * * * * * * Panchromatic Steel is a steeldrum band playing authentic island calypso, jazz, classical and even some familiar pop/rock tunes. Do you know what a steel drum or steel pan is?ǃ? Get ready for this mouthful: "the steel drum is a sawed-off 55-gallon oil drum with the top stretched into a bowl shape and painstakingly hand-hammered to create tone-producing centers, which are struck by rubber-tipped mallets." So yeah, you know that this is a show you don"t want to missǃ * * * * * * * * * * * Primitive Culture blends funk, rock, reggae, latin, rhythm & blues: say that five times fastǃǃ They whip up some majorly danceable tunes with the masterful use of guitar, drums, bass, percs, horns, and of course, saxophones.
