Music Picks for Friday, Nov 12

Midnight Sky Jazz - Marsh Woodwinds (Jazz)
This Durham Based Sextet plays a great selection of Jazz hits for your listening enjoyment. Very popular on the Wedding/Party circuit, they come to Marsh Woodwinds for a night of easy relaxing Jazz.

Jeanne Jolly - Berkeley Cafe (Americana/Folk)
One of the better female vocalists in the area, Jeanne has a great supporting cast around her and she successfully uses them to create her great sound. The music and her voice compliment each other and as they soothe and cajole you into a peaceful state. This is a great sound for an intimate setting and the Berk can certainly fit this - so grab u a chair and sit down, unwind and listen to some feel-good music. I consider the talent of Jeanne to be that of a country version of Melissa Etheridge. Come on out and hear her belt out "Still cant stop loving you" - It will gives you the chills - it's that good!

The Blue Dogs w/ Old Habits - Lincoln Theatre (Folk/Americana)
One of the hotter up-and-coming bands meets up with the the roots estblishment in this powerhouse show at the Lincoln tonight. Old Habits have refined their should and Craig & co have really turned a corner and are playing some great stuff that is getting great reviews and notice from regional and national publications. Their style of folk/country and their stage presence as easy going really loosen up the crowd and their surperb talent and vocal harmonization back up their easy going swagger. They have really come into their own in the past year and we can expect more original stuff from them in the near future...
The Blue Dogs on the other hand, have been at the pinacle of the regional folk scene and while no easy task, they have kept in vogue with a constant stream of new music as well as changing their existing material in such a way that keeps the crowds coming. These guys are great musicians and great entertainers - as has been proven by their longevity. This is a real treat tonight to have these two bands together and I strongly reccomend that you do not miss it!
