Music Picks for Thursday, Nov 4

F. O. Finch Quartet - The Mint (Jazz)
Local Jazz group highlighted by F.O. on the sax will chill the upstairs lounge @ The Mint. This is a monthly gig - held the 1st Thursday of each month. You can expect a laid-back crowd and music to match. Traditional lounge jazz doesnt get any better - this is a great place to catch a great set of music and have a cocktail to put an early start on the weekend.
Expect an 8pm start with music lasting until 10:30 or so...
Catch some live clips of them on You Tube under the band name...

Lubriphonic - Pourhouse (Jazz/Funk)
This Chicago based group have been stalwarts of the Chicago and midwest regional Funk/Soul/Jazz scene for quite some time and have developed a national base that has taken them on several national tours as well as a few international gigs as well. Best known for their horn drenched funk and soul with some superb organ sounds and vocals, this group is able to bring the crowds with their balance of all sounds (with some great guitar and drums on the side). You never know what to expect with these guys as they oscilate from a mellow soul number (such as Speed Dial) To a great upbeat funk spot (such as Hell Down Below). Think of these guys as a polished and professional version of The Pietasters w/ a side of Particle. This most certainly is not a show to be missed if you have any interest in Funk/Soul/Jazz...

Hoots & Hellmouth - Berkeley Cafe (Indie/Roots)
This Band hailing out Philadelphia has been a long-time favorite of the Philly area and this has launched them regional and national tours including this tour that is taking to them to RiverHawk/Bear Creek Music Fests in Florida. If you like Yonder Mountain String Band, you will most certainly love this set at the Berk.

Felice Brothers - Kings Barcade (Folk/Americana/ect)
As featured on NPR, this New York based band got their start by playing on the street and in subway stations... Their talent opened doors for them and soon their rough,gritty style could be heard in venues around the city and throughout the mid-atlantic. They have been featured on Maverick Magazine, The New Yorker and NPR on multiple occasions.... Their style can be compared to Big Pink and Old Crow Medicine Show. This is going to be a great set of music - come out and see some rising stars!
