The Mulligan Brothers Via Portland Album Pre - Release Show
The Mulligan Brothers will Pre-Release their new album Via Portland, on Wednesday, December 10, 2014 with a concert at the Joe Jefferson Playhouse in Mobile,AL,show time is 7:30pm.This a chance for our hometown fans to get a copy of the new album prior to the January 20, 2015 national release date.
show time is 7:30pm. The band recorded the album in September with Grammy-winning producer Steve Berlin in Portland, Oregon.
The Mulligan Brothers are: Ross Newell (lead vocals, guitar, and songwriting); Gram Rea (fiddle, mandolin, viola, harmonica and vocals); Ben Leininger (bass and vocals) and Greg DeLuca (drums and vocals). Via Portland is the second album for the band from Mobile and Baton Rouge that met playing in bars in Mobile and took a name that means second chances. Expectations are high for the follow-up to The Mulligan Brothers, their popular debut album released in June 2013 that created passionate fans across the country and was in the Top Ten of CD Sales at the 2014 New Orleans Jazz Fest.
The lyrics in Via Portland are once again built on Newell's poetic imagery and storytelling in a warm, sincere voice that is full of feeling whether it is relaxed or strained. But the band is tighter now and more confident in themselves and one another. They play together most nights each week and the new songs evolved in front of audiences, giving each musician time to develop his parts.
"A friend gave me the Mulligan Brothers' first CD and I told them to call me if they wanted my help with the next one," says Berlin. "It was a slam dunk. The songs are great and the band is great. Ross' voice is a unique, magical instrument that can work for any age and any demographic. They also came in prepared with a firm handle on what they want. That spoiled me because a lot of my time with young bands is working on arranging and orchestration. These guys are amazing people and seemed happy to be here and to have this chance. I couldn't have scripted this any better." Check out the band website www.themulliganbrothers.com
Support act is Oh Jeremiah.
