Haley Reinhart<\/p><\/div>\n

When Haley Reinhart brings her \u201cWhat\u2019s That Sound? Tour\u201d to the World Caf\u00e9 Live (3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 215-222-1400, www.worldcafelive.com<\/a>) on November 10, she will treat her fans to live renditions of many of the songs from her latest album.<\/p>\n

On September 22, the talented singer\/writer\u00a0Haley Reinhart\u00a0released \u201cWhat\u2019s That Sound?\u201d her debut release for Concord Records. The album finds Reinhart digging into her rich musical heritage and reimagining some of rock-and-roll\u2019s most legendary songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the songs from the album are in my live repertoire,\u201d said Reinhart, during a phone interview last week on her way from L.A. to a show in San Francisco.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve grown up being mesmerized by these classic songs. I\u2019ve been singing all these songs from my favorite bands \u2013 the Zombies, the Stones, Pink Floyd and Zeppelin. I\u2019m a huge fan of the whole era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hailing from the Chicago area, Reinhart has previously shown her rare gift as a song interpreter with her certified-gold remake of Elvis Presley\u2019s \u201cCan\u2019t Help Falling in Love\u201d (a 2015 release whose video has amassed over 20 million YouTube views). It was also used in a highly-popular Extra Gum commercial.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really like Elvis so I sang a cover of \u2018Can\u2019t Help Falling in Love,\u2019\u201d said Reinhart. \u201cIt really exploded \u2013 especially given the exposure from the commercial. It got thousands and thousands of hits on Shazam. It happened overnight.\u201d<\/p>\n

The L.A.-based 26-year-old has also emerged as the leading artist on Scott Bradlee\u2019s Postmodern Jukebox, with her jazzed-up versions of tracks like Radiohead\u2019s \u201cCreep\u201d earning more than 112 million views to date.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s That Sound?\u201d\u00a0features 11 renditions of classic songs from the 1960s, as well as three original tracks from Reinhart. A captivating vocalist who started singing in her parents\u2019 rock band when she was just seven, Reinhart purposely focused on songs originally released between 1966 and 1969.<\/p>\n

According to Reinhart, \u201cThere is an undeniable connection between the late \u201960s and now. They\u2019re both turbulent, yet hopeful times. As I thought of what songs I\u2019d like to reinterpret, I wanted to bring these similarities to the forefront. I also feel the urge to spread the revolutionary idea of people coming together through love and music.\u201d<\/p>\n

In co-producing\u00a0\u201cWhat\u2019s That Sound?\u201d\u00a0with Grammy Award-winner John Burk, Reinhart stayed remarkably authentic to the sonic landscape of the \u201960s. Made at the historic Sunset Sound, the album was recorded to tape in order to achieve a warm, vibrant feel true to the era.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started the album in January in L.A. ,\u201d said Reinhart. \u201cI had some rally heavy cats play on the album \u2013 and also some of my friends. It was very collaborative. We recorded live to tape at Sunset Sound. I got a full tour of Sunset Sound. There have been so many great albums made there. It\u2019s like a living museum.\u2019<\/p>\n

Some of the album\u2019s classics that were made popular more than four decades ago are The Beatles\u2019 \u201cOh! Darling,\u201d The Kinks\u2019 \u201cSunny Afternoon,\u201d The Mamas & The Papas\u2019 \u201cWords of Love,\u201d The Zombies\u2019 \u201cTime of the Season,\u201d Nancy Sinatra\u2019s \u201cThese Boots Are Made For Walkin\u2019,\u201d The Shirelles\u2019 \u201cBaby, It\u2019s You,\u201d Jefferson Airplane\u2019s \u201cWhite Rabbit,\u201d\u00a0The Box Tops\u2019 \u201cThe Letter\u201d and Buffalo Springfield\u2019s \u201cFor What It\u2019s Worth.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did the whole album analog,\u201d said Reinhart. \u201cIt was a unanimous decision between me and producer John Burk. It was crucial to do analog and record it live with a full band. We had one leg in the present and one leg in the past \u2013 taking old songs and giving them my own flair.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at the World Caf\u00e9 Live, which has Michaela McClain opening, will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $23 SRO and $28 seated.<\/p>\n

Another artist from the Concord Records label will also be performing in Philly on November 10.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Kenny Wayne Shepherd<\/p><\/div>\n

Kenny Wayne Shepherd will be the headliner for a show at the Sugarhouse Casino (1001 North Delaware Avenue, Philadelphia,
\n877-477-3715, www.sugarhouseentertainment.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Shepherd is touring in support of his new album \u201cLay It Down,\u201d which was released recently on Concord Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went into the studio in January,\u201d said Shepherd. \u201cAfter I made the album, The Rides went out on tour again this year.<\/p>\n

Shepherd\u2019s recent visits to the area have been as a member of The Rides.<\/p>\n

Separated in age by a musical generation but bonded by a mutual love of classic cars and the blues, two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Famer\u00a0Stephen Stills\u00a0and five-time Grammy-nominated singer, guitarist and songwriter\u00a0Kenny Wayne Shepherd joined with famed Chicago rock\/blues keyboardist Barry Goldberg to form a very fresh and vital blues-rock band — The Rides.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had been building up songs,\u201d said Shepherd. \u201cWhenever I had time off, I\u2019d be writing. I don\u2019t do fancy demos. I do basic demos and then they come to life in the studio. I can start a song anywhere. Then, I\u2019ll take it out and finish it with somebody else. I did this album in Nashville. Historically, I write with people form Nashville. On this album, I wrote with two other people and me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shepherd\u2019s new album has a traditional feel and, at the same time, rocks hard.<\/p>\n

According to Shepherd, \u201cI wanted to make an album of great American roots music and the end result is something that I\u2019m really pleased with. I wanted to play to our strengths, but I also wanted to make an album full of music that people haven\u2019t heard from us before.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pulling from a lot of different periods and genres on this one. I wanted to strike a balance between the heavy emotional stuff and the stuff that will put a smile on your face. A new album should feel new and refreshing, and this one definitely feels that way to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than two decades into a recording career that began when he was 16, Kenny Wayne Shepherd has built a powerful reputation as a visionary recording artist, a riveting live performer and one of the most talented and distinctive guitarists of his generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the new album, I just wanted to have a diverse album,\u201d said Shepherd. \u201cThe idea was to take blues music and push it in a different direction. That\u2019s the idea of contemporary blues \u2013 push it in a new direction\u2026make something new sounding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just wrote whatever we felt that day. I wasn\u2019t trying to write a contemporary album. At the end, I took inventory and decided on the best 10 songs. I just knew I was doing 10 songs. That was the number for me \u2013 a good even number.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, blues is the most important style on the album. There is a little country influence along with some rick and some R&B. We covered a lot of ground.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, I\u2019m playing seven of the 10 in my live show. But, we also go all the way back to songs from my first album. The show lasts about two hours every night.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at the Sugarhouse Casino will start at 9 p.m. Tickets are $49.<\/p>\n

The Coronas<\/p><\/div>\n

The Coronas, who have been a top band in their native Ireland for more than a decade, have just released an new album and now are in America touring in support of their recent LP.<\/p>\n

On November 11, they will introduce live versions of the songs from \u201cTrust the Wire\u201d when they headline a show at MilkBoy Philadelphia (1100 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 215- 925-6455, www.milkboyphilly.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The band features Danny O’Reilly, Conor Egan, Graham Knox and Dave McPhillips.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur debut album was in 2007,\u201d said O\u2019Reilly, during a recent trans-Atlantic phone interview from his home in Dublin, Ireland. \u201cWe were just winging it back then. But, we\u2019ve been making progress. We\u2019re very lucky to be still doing it 10 years later. Myself and the bass layer (Graham Knox) went to school together. We\u2019ve been friends since we were very, very young. We decided we were going to form a band before we could even play any instrum4ents.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Reilly and Knox have known each other practically since their birth just two weeks apart. Their parents were friends, and essentially the pair grew up together. They met Egan at Terenure College secondary school in Dublin where, in 2001, they formed a band called Kiros with O\u2019Reilly on vocals and guitar, Knox on bass and Egan on drums plus another friend.<\/p>\n

Kiros morphed into The Coronas, the name taken from the Smith-Corona typewriter in Cameron Crowe\u2019s classic film about the music business, \u201cAlmost Famous.\u201d The lineup was finalized in 2006 with the addition of McPhillips, a friend they met during a summer in Vancouver, on lead guitar.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Heroes or Ghosts\u2019 was our first album 10 years ago,\u201d said O\u2019Reilly. \u201cWe recorded it ourselves. One song — \u2018San Diego Song\u2019 \u2013 got a lot of airplay in Ireland. \u2018San Diego Song\u2019 got thje foot in the door for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Coronas\u2019 sophomore album was \u201cTony Was an Ex-Con\u201d in 2009i followed by \u201cCloser to You\u201d (2011), \u201cThe Long Way\u201d (2014) and now \u201cTrust the Wire.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Coronas\u2019 new album may surprise their army of fans. A sonic leap on from its predecessors, \u201cTrust the Wire\u201d sees the award-winning, arena-conquering band fuse their arms-aloft melodic pop with lush electronics, spine-tingling atmospherics and a new-found sense of adventure.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album came out in Ireland in July and just got released in the states in September,\u201d said O\u2019Reilly. \u201cWe set up our own label to release it. We just finished a tour of the U.K. and now we\u2019re on a long tour in the states and Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album\u2019s title, taken from a line in the broody, dramatic closing track \u201cLook At All The Lovers,\u201d reflects the recurring theme of self-belief and sums up a band both acknowledging their achievements to date and stepping out of their comfort zone to tackle new challenges.<\/p>\n

According to O\u2019Reilly, \u201cLike a tightrope walker who doesn\u2019t need to see the next step, they just know. It\u2019s about believing that what feels right will work and going for it. If you don\u2019t trust your instincts, you\u2019ll never move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our fifth album. It would be easy for us to stick with a sound because it\u2019s worked for us in the past. But that doesn\u2019t excite us. Discovering what we\u2019re capable of as a band, knowing that we can grow and get better is what makes us want to keep doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTrust the Wire\u201d was written last summer at a rented house in Dingle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just set up our gear and wrote songs every day,\u201d said O\u2019Reilly. \u201cWe set up shop in a little cottage in Dingle, which is in the southwest corner of Ireland. It\u2019s really isolated there.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded the album with producer Elliott James in London at a great studio called East Cote. It was an enjoyable experience. We had been building up songs for a year. Since we had our own label, there was no pressure. We took our time with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Claudettes<\/p><\/div>\n

On November 11, The Claudettes will bring their audience-rousing live show to the area when they headline a show at Kung Fu Necktie (1248 North Front Street, Philadelphia, 215-291-4919, kungfunecktie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Pianist Johnny Iguana formed the Claudettes, who feature Berit Ulseth on vocals, Zach Verdoorn on bass guitar and vocals and Danny Yost on drums.<\/p>\n

The Claudettes combine the Chicago blues-piano tradition with the energy of rockabilly and punk and the sultry sound of \u201960s soul-jazz to create a thrilling new spin on American roots music.<\/p>\n

According to Downbeat Magazine, \u201cThe Claudettes hit listeners upside the head with a mash-up of Otis Spann blues, Albert Ammons boogie-woogie, Ray Charles soul and \u201cFess\u201d Longhair New Orleans R&B.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rather than attack the blues with one or two guitars, the Claudettes brandish a piano instead. But the Claudettes have created their own fanatical fusion of blues and soul-jazz \u2013 sort of like Ray Charles on a punk kick.<\/p>\n

The band is still touring in support of its sophomore album No Hotel,\u201d which was released in 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just finished a new album,\u201d said Iguana, during a recent phone interview from his home in Chicago. \u201cIt took a while to figure out who was going to put it out. We\u2019re going to put it out in March. We\u2019ve gotten interest from some very good labels. The album is a throwback \u2013 very 60s sounding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded it with producer Mark Neill at Soil of the South studio in Valdosta, Georgia. We used all analog gear and then Radar to take it digital. It\u2019s got a warm sound with a lot of low end, acoustic instruments and vintage reverb. It doesn\u2019t sound like it was produced by a modern indie-rock record.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Claudettes have created their own genre.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Claudettes blazed a new trail masquerading as a blues\/roots bands but it\u2019s a punk band at its core,\u201d said Iguana. \u201cWe can play a punk bill as a rock band or a different bill as a blues band. The Claudettes really put a lot of heart in our live show. We combine musicianship and humor. We have a stage setup that converts the stage into a mini-tavern \u2013 a reality check built into our stage show.\u201d<\/p>\n

On stage, Claudette\u2019s drink specials scroll across LED displays pinned to the band\u2019s shirts (e.g. \u201c$5 domestics on Sunday with dinner and Champagne purchase,\u201d \u201cMONDAY NIGHT: DESIGNER NIGHT! You design shot, I design price\u201d).<\/p>\n

The Claudette\u2019s have a strange history \u2013 and an interesting story behind their name.<\/p>\n

\u201cMichael Caskey, a drummer from Chicago, and I had a piano-and-drum duo,\u201d said Iguana. \u201cWe called a place called Claudette\u2019s Bar in 2010 looking for a gig in between Chicago and St. Louis. Claudette booked us into her bar in Oglesby (Illinois) and fell in love with the band.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, she hired us as her house band and put them. That drummer\u2019s wife had a baby so we hired a new drummer and then expanded to a four-piece. Since then, we\u2019ve done a ton of shows.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at Twisted Tail will be a homecoming for Iguana.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born in New Jersey and grew up in the Philly area,\u201d said Iguana. \u201cI graduated from Upper Dublin High School and the University of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, I moved to New York City where I worked in publishing and played piano. I began meeting blues musicians and playing in blues bands. I met Junior Wells in Chicago and played piano in his band.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to touring internationally and recording six albums with his cult-favorite rock band oh my god, Iguana has played live or recorded with Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Koko Taylor, James Cotton, Lil\u2019 Ed, Carey Bell, Billy Boy Arnold, Lurrie Bell, John Primer, Billy Branch, Carlos Johnson, Sugar Blue, Dave Myers and Eddie Shaw.<\/p>\n
