Hello
Rench at 10:30pm
Introducing block rockin' honky-tonk, New American music for
the 21st century, built with love in a little studio, hand crafted, running on
inspiration and imagination and duct tape, calling on the spirit of Gram
Parsons and Otis Redding and KRS-ONE and Dolly Parton and Nina Simone and
Willie Nelson and Missy Elliott and Johnny Cash, to write about what we feel
and play what our hearts tell us, because to make it happen is reason enough,
and to share it with the world is all the reason you need, because we tell the
truth with music and the truth is beautiful.
Rench is a singer, songwriter, and producer with roots in
honky-tonk, hip-hop, and trip-hop music. With the help of very talented friends
he records and releases music because he enjoys it. He likes sad songs and
pedal steel guitar. He likes drum samples and scratches. He likes playing live
sets at Hanks Saloon in Brooklyn.
M Shanghai String Band at 9:30pm
The "Earth, Wind, and Fire" of string bands will
envelope you in a joyous wall of sound with a roster that has been known to
swell to 15 strong.
The M SHANGHAI String Band of Brooklyn, New York have been
playing together since 2002, when they first started their monthly
get-togethers at the M Shanghai Bistro & Den. Their debut album, Up From
the Ground Below, recorded in one day in the restaurant's dining room, set the
mission in motion: timeless original songs played with a sense of abandon,
captured completely live. On the night of the album’s release party, the MSSB
performed four sets to a capacity crowd: Brooklyn’s best-kept secret was out.

The Ambassadors of Love at 8:30pm
Full pedal string band music. High harmonies "brother
duet" style. Blazing fiddle. Harmonica tangier than BBQ sauce. Hardcore
mandolin action. Experience old time fiddle tunes, bluegrass, and murder
ballads sung so sweet you'll cry. New tunes made old, old tunes that you're not
gonna believe. (The Smiths and Air Supply?)
An all-you-can-eat buffet of country styled string band
goodness.
Featuring:
Dock Oscar--vocals, guitar
Ebie Carter--vocals
Gary Keenan--mandolin, slide guitar
Shakey Dave--harmonica
Charlie Shaw--upright bass
