Brigitte DeMeyer-Friday, April 13th, 2012

Door opens at 7:30, music at 8:00. 

Brigitte DeMeyer will be bringing some New Orleans voodoo to Mechanic Street House Concerts on Friday April 13^th. PopMatters says “[Her] sound is drenched in New Orleans style R&B [mixed] with country blues and a whole lot of other folksy Southern ingredients…”. She has becomes one of our favorites because she is a soulful singer, songwriter, and guitarist. She is like a cross between Lucinda Williams and Van Morrison, if you can imagine it. Don’t take our word for it, check out a video.

Two in a row!

We've had two sold-out shows in a row! Brent Kirby and Mike Uva in January and Mike Mangione & the Union on Friday. Sold out isn't really the right term, since we don't sell tickets and only ask for a suggested donation, but its got a better ring to it than "at capacity". While we don't like having to turn anyone away, we do like having a full house. And the artists really like the extra cash it means for them. We're hoping this is a trend that will continue!

Mike Mangione & The Union

Friday, March 2nd, 2012

Door opens at 7:30, music at 8:00. 

Mike Mangione & The Union combine a folk-rock sound with an orchestrated string section, soulful vocals and literate sensibility. The band has received favorable press from all corners of the world, including the honor of being an All Music Guide Album pick. Blurt refers to their "tearstained folk, Memphis-styled gospel and bluesy-flavored pop" as "luminous".
