SUMMARY:The Iguanas
DESCRIPTION:Tex-Mex roots rock bliss via New Orleans \n\n\n\n\n\nSisters Bar & Restaurant opens at 5pm. Information and reservations here.  A seated show\, mostly.  \n\n\n\nWhat if Americana actually encompassed ALL of the Americas? You’d have the Tejano and Conjunto sounds of the Texas/Mexico border region\, as best exemplified by the accordion and bajo sexto\, the American South’s Blues\, Jazz and New Orleans R&B\, and the lilting grace and fiery passion of the music of the Caribbean\, Mexico and Colombia. You’d also have New Orleans’ premier distillers of this musical mélange\, The Iguanas. \n\n\n\nTaking their cues from all of the above influences and then some\, the band’s music redefines the notion of Americana\, crossing cultures\, styles\, eras… and even languages. It’s as if Rue Bourbon\, Muscle Shoals and Plaza México were all within earshot of each other and The Iguanas were the musical conduit between them.  \n\n\n\nThrough eight studio albums\, countless tours and Jazz Fest appearances\, and a flood in 2005 that did its best to take their  city with it\, it’s a testament to the band’s endurance that the same four guys that started playing in the early 1990s are still together. Joe Cabral is philosophical about the band’s persistence in the face of challenges that would have felled – indeed have felled – lesser bands. “First of all\, this is all we know how to do; we’re musicians. But more than that\,” he continues\, “we respect the power of the band as an entity\, and each individual in the band steps up to play his part. When it’s good\, that’s really what it’s all about.” \n\n\n\nRod Hodges agrees. “I don’t want to get all heady and mystical about this\, but it’s not really an outward reward we’re looking for. We all enjoy playing music\, we all get along\, and finding a group of people who can say that after all this time is a rare thing.”.

SUMMARY:Paul Thorn Band at La Rosa
DESCRIPTION:ON SALE 6/25 at 10 am (code RandR gets you $5 off – expires 7/4) \n\n\n\nThe Last Rhythm and Roots Show\, celebrating 30 years of music and community.  We will miss you all and we thank you!  \n\n\n\n\n\nWhen it comes to songwriting\, less is more\, and simplicity is strength. Just ask Paul Thorn\, who’s spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a big wallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years as a pro boxer; maybe it just comes naturally. But whether he’s targeting heads\, hearts\, hips or the occasional funny bone\, he somehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight little mantras\, the kind embroiderers stitched onto pillows before internet memes existed. \n\n\n\nThorn’s new album\, Life is Just A Vapor\, contains some beauties: “Life is a vapor\, let’s live it while we can”; “tough times don’t last\, but tough people do” (from “Tough Times Don’t Last”); “any mountain up ahead is just a hill” (from “Old Melodies”). They’re words of advice\, comfort\, support\, encouragement\, often meant to uplift\, especially in times of struggle. Life Is Just A Vapor is an outspoken account of the life lessons Thorn has experienced throughout his unique and extensive career and a reflection of his six decades on this planet. Album includes guest appearances by Joe Bonamassa\, Luther Dickinson\, Bill Hinds\, New Testament\, and the Shoals Sisters. \n\n\n\n“I like for people to be touched by music and get something from it\, something that they can take with them throughout the day\,” Thorn says. “Every song on this album\, there’s a message in it of some sort about how to live life.” \n\n\n\nAmerican Blues Scene writer Don Wilcock calls Thorn “an everyman (who) addresses things we all think about\, but few can articulate with the kind of candor\, humor and folksy truth that immediately endear him to almost everyone lucky enough to hear his music.”
