Po' Boy Reinhart & Ukelele Ed + Thee Shambels + Dogbottom Boys + The Sky Captains of Industry @ The Way Station

8pm- Po' Boy Reinhart & Ukelele Ed
Genre: Jazz/Blues/Rock
For fans of: Ukeleles, Fedoras, and Kazoos

These two street rats play originals and covers of jazzy, bluesy, bopping, popping, rootsy songs with a peculiar charm all their own. Ukelele Ed plays an eclectic repertoire of covers/originals from old jazz standards like "Dinah" to Rolling Stones "Paint it Black" on the Ukelele. Po’ Boy brings a ragtime New Orleans flair to anything he touches with a style all his own and a wooden kazoo that he plays like a trumpet. They have been tickling the fancy of audiences of all ages all over the metropolitan area.

“Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Mr. Po’ Boy Reinhart, going to play some popping bopping bluesy rootsy tutti frutti groovy covers and originals for you. And this first one comes from Mr. Langston Hughes of the Harlem Renaissance. Lyrics from him, music by me it’s called the “Bound No’th Blues.”

9pm- Thee Shambels
Genre: Folk Rock
For fans of: Nick Cave, The Pogues, The Mekons

Modern Americana with dark shades of European folk, Brooklyn based ‘Thee Shambels’ tell stories full of heartbreak and longing, runaway junkies and cannibalism on the trail. Singing with an eye on the hangman and a hand on the bottle, Englishman – but no gentleman – Neville Elder, croons, wails, and waltzes with the enthusiasm of the demented sideshow hawker. Also attending the carnival are JJ Murphy (drums), Scott Kitchen (Bass), Sarah Mischner (Vocals), Melissa ‘Pork Chop’ Elledge (Accordion).

 “Like A folk dance through a graveyard in broad daylight” – Michael Doherty

“The performance has a woozy carnival feel. This is a perfect match of words to music, and Neville Elder’s vocal is spot on. He combines sympathy for the downtrodden with a hint of menace, and the whole thing really works.” – Darius Rips

10pm- Dogbottom Boys
Genre: Bluegrass
For fans of: Old Crow Medicine Show, Alison Krauss

Not much is known about the Dogbottom Boys. Rumor has it that the unsavory threesome washed up in Brooklyn after a string of unlikely (and somewhat illegal) circumstances involving lead singer Janky Jay, a stolen automobile, and the daughter of a prominent farmer in Sugar Grove, Kentucky. But all that’s behind us. These days, the Boys pass their days drowning their sorrows in whiskey and playing good old fashioned American music for the delight of local barmaids.
