Vintage Country
If you're under 55, vintage country probably doesn't resonate with you all that much. Merle Travis might have been your father's childhood fixation, Ernest Tubb could have dominated the family phonograph Saturday nights. For the most part, it's old hat â€" no pun intended. But there are still traces of that lost vintage country out there, thanks to Alysia Angel, aka DJ Hazel, who spins Patsy Cline, Hank Thompson, Cliff Bruner, Dave Dudley, Hawkshaw Hawkins and Jimmy Dean and his Texas Wildcats every Monday night at The Brotherhood Lounge. Hazel doesn't so much re-create the past as convey the universal nature of a great tradition. â€" Brad Allen

HIP-HOP
Who Cares
Combining the elements of jazz, hip-hop, and the love of improv that belong to both, this central Cali-based trio have taken the underground music scene by storm, and in it, won over a lot of support from all sides, having rocked stages with everyone from Afrika Bambataa and “Egyptian Lover†to The Album Leaf.
These three immensely talented dudes put on one helluva show. That is fact. Ernie Upton, the frontman, has a flow reminiscent of the great storyteller MCs from the late ’80s, loves to freestyle much of the set, and does it all from behind the turntables. Jammal Tarkington, is the gentle giant of soul. Having cut his teeth with Reno-based funk rockers Keyser Soze among numerous other projects, he barely has time to catch a breath between singing, rapping and playing saxophone solos. Rounding out the on-stage menagerie is Maxwell McMaster, whose silky smooth keystrokes on his vintage Wurlitzer and MPC keep the whole show seamless and lively, while keeping up his end of the three-part harmonies to create quite possibly one of the greatest show atmospheres you will ever witness. â€" Owen Taylor
