SUMMARY:Blackie Jackett Jr. @ Peter's Players
DESCRIPTION:Blackie Jackett Jr. was born in the back of a tour bus and grew up in bars\, hotel rooms and truck stops. He was born in the drunken minds of Finger Eleven guitarists James Black and Rick Jackett as they travelled around the continent. \nTheir repertoire of upbeat\, drunken train wreck sing-alongs were written on the road\, but it wasn’t until the duo went home to Toronto that the songs really came alive. \nThat’s where they first heard Sandra Dee. She was singing karaoke\, in between slinging drinks at their local – just nailing Loretta Lynn and Dolly songs. Like lightning or magic\, it was really special… AND she likes to drink. Perfect. \nThough he was born a lone traveller\, Blackie Jackett Jr. was quickly on his way to becoming a band. When long time friend and guitar lick hyper-wizard\, Jimmy Reid\, layed down some leads on a track\, magic lightning struck again. Sh*t got VERY real. \nNow\, Blackie Jackett Jr. is a well lubricated country steamroller\, with as many as 7 players some nights. They’re ready to blast their unique brand of old school smart-assed country rock around the globe. They can do it all. High energy or sweet and mellow.  Plugged in or stripped down.  Day or night.  In any shape or size\, they are a drunken bundle of firecrackers – Guaranteed to go off and have a good time.

SUMMARY:Big Sam's Funky Nation @ Peter's Players
DESCRIPTION:When you think of New Orleans\, the city’s foremost flambeaux-lit traditions of Mardi Gras\, Bourbon Street\, voodoo\, Po’ boys\, beads\, gumbo\, and second line undoubtedly come to mind. You can also count Big Sam’s Funky Nation amongst those NOLA treasures. \nKnown for a boisterous blend of funk\, jazz\, rock\, and hip-hop\, nothing short of seismic live “experiences\,” and a whole lot of Southern charm\, Big Sam’s Funky Nation might very well be The Big Easy’s best kept secret. \nNo other place could birth such an undeniable\, unpredictable\, and downright unique collective. \n“By playing on these streets\, you learn how to work your craft and entertain an audience\,” exclaims Sam. “You can go to Julliard and Berklee all you want\, but they won’t teach you how to rock a stage. It comes naturally in New Orleans. I’ve been here my whole life and rocking these streets. Even during Hurricane Katrina\, I drove nine hours from San Antonio every weekend for two years just to play live. The sound out here is unlike anything else in the world. It’s not just a figure of speech—there’s music going all night\, literally.” \nAgainst the backdrop of Crescent City\, the group released five fan favorite albums and quietly developed a devout following. Powered by jaw-dropping technical talent and uncontainable energy on stage\, their performances have become the stuff of legend. Big Sam ensures you’re not just a part of the crowd\, but “a part of the show dancing and singing along.” Beyond standout sets at the likes of Voodoo Music + Experience and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival\, the boys have performed at Bonnaroo\, SXSW\, and Austin City Limits\, to name a few. \nThe frontman personally draws on over two decades in the game\, spanning everything from 300 shows per year during his days in Dirty Dozen Brass Band and gigs backing up Widespread Panic and Dave Matthews Band to recording and touring with Allen Toussaint and Elvis Costello. Additionally\, he would be sought out for a recurring role on the critically acclaimed HBO series Treme. \nFollowing the release of 2014’s rock-leaning Evolution (and yet another marathon of gigs)\, Big Sam wanted to “bring the funk like never before.” So\, he decided to “write originals that show how cats like Morris Day & The Time\, The Gap Band\, P-Funk\, inspired [him]—while not just repeating the past.” \nThe group accomplish this mission on their aptly titled 2018 sixth full-length Songs in the Key of Funk\, Volume 1. Spending just five days at The Parlor Recording Studio in New Orleans\, Big Sam’s Funky Nation emerged from the studio with an album tailormade for singing\, dancing\, and\, of course\, partying. \n“We’re going to keep the funk alive\,” he affirms. “This is just Volume 1. It’s just the beginning.\nStevie Wonder made one of my favorites: Songs in the Key of Life. I thought it would be hip to build on the title. Funk is life for me. Funk is everything. We all need some of it in our lives\, so guess who’s here to give it to you?” \nFunk is served up piping hot on the first single “Poke Chop.” On the track\, a simmering beat punctuated by seventies-style synths gives way to lively horns\, handclaps\, and howls. Merging bounce energy and jazz virtuosity\, the call-and-response culminates on Big Sam chanting a hometown phrase\, “Show me what you got for a poke chop.” \nElsewhere\, “Buzzin” shimmies from talkbox into swaggering clean guitars. Painting a vivid picture of hot and heavy love at first sight on the dance floor\, the frontman croons\, “Girl\, you got me buzzin.” \nAs much as Big Sam’s Funky Nation represents the beating heart of New Orleans\, they ultimately do so for funk music as well. \n“When you see us live or listen to our records\, we’re all going to have a good time\,” he leaves off. “That’s what funk is all about. That’s what New Orleans is all about. That’s what Big Sam’s Funky Nation is all about. If you come to a show\, you’re going to party. That’s what we’re here for.”
