rippin' rock & roll triple bill
On their new roots-rock album, Barnburners!, Handsome Jack keep their sound raw and rugged, delivering a seamless yet unpolished blend of classic rock, swamp rock, and blues that feels instantly familiar while remaining personal and authentic. Fronted by the soulful vocals and remarkable guitar skills of Jamison Passuite, with Joey Verdonselli and Bennie Hayes anchoring a killer rhythm section and handling backing vocals, the Lockport, NY trio taps into the DNA of that old-time rock n' roll and gets the party started. Roots-rock hasn't sounded this good in a long time!
Elusive Americana & Blues guitarist Troy Mercy performs raw and wild vintage-toned Rock & Roll. It's cracking guitar music surely, but it's his singing and songwriting that stand him a cut above the six-string rabble.
While this marks his debut solo effort Troy Mercy earned his bones through years of touring with heavies* such as Booker T (of The MGs) & The Fabulous Thunderbirds. He has performed with Blues originators like Hubert Sumlin, Billy Boy Arnold and Pinetop Perkins, and he played guitar on two Grammy-nominated albums with Kim Wilson.
Fronted by Tim Carman and Pat Faherty, formerly of GA-20, Canyon Lights blend throwback rock ’n’ roll, swampy Americana, and heavy blues into a raw, high-energy sound. Friends and bandmates since 2018, Pat and Tim have logged thousands of hours touring and performing on stages across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Their shared love of blues music fueled their explosive performances with GA-20, a three-time #1 Billboard-charting blues band from Boston, MA.
