Come celebrate Flatbread's re-opening for the 2015 summer season. Some new things are happening at the Island's premier music venue, including some additions to the restaurant that everyone will love. And what better way to celebrate the season kickoff than with our good friends Woody Pines and their freshly released album! Our island's own Brad Tucker once again brings his trio back to the vineyard for what always proves to be an amazing musical experience for everyone who's lucky enough to catch their live show.
Here's a little more info on the bands:
Woody Pines: No stranger to fans of the new folk music coming from all corners of the USA, Alongside artists like Old Crow Medicine Show and Pokey LaFarge, Woody Pines continues to forage thru the secret world of old 78ʹs and to write new chapters in the Anthology of American Music. Integrating sounds from Leadbelly to Bob Dylan, from Woodie Guthrie to Preservation Hall, Woody Pines belts out songs of fast cars, pretty women and hard luck with a distinctive vintage twang. Recently signing with Nashville's Muddy Roots Music, for the release of the much anticipated new record and the subsequent release of Woody's four independent releases has this band working hard in the studio, on the road, and on the songwriting front-line.
Woody was a founding member of the Kitchen Syncopators, a legendary busking street jug-band from Eugene, OR, that were one of the most exciting acts to emerge out of the West Coast folk scene in recent history.
Since the Kitchen Syncopators disbanded years ago, Woody Pines has been writing and recording albums and frequently performing for audiences everywhere, while co-founder of the band, Gill Landry, has gone on to join Old Crow Medicine Show while pursuing his own solo projects
The distinctive viper sound is brought together with Skip Frontz Jr. on the upright bass, adding both the booty shakin', low-end and rapid fire percussion with his sought after slap technique that has blown people away night after night. MV's own Brad Tucker on the vintage electric guitar and vocal harmonies fills out the trio, working his magic to make the band sound bigger then they are. Woody plays the National Guitar, Harmonica and Floor Tom, Singing in a voice sounding uncannily like a young Willie Nelson.
Mike Benjamin: Mike Benjamin needs no introduction, as he's been a musical staple for years here on the Vineyard and beyond.
"Mike Benjamin is a premier talent and his band generates heat with their impressive musicianship." -Julian Wise, Martha's Vineyard Times
