Southern Soul and Song
Junior Brown
and The Belleville Outfit
Friday, May 8, 2009
7:30 p.m. at the Imperial Theatre
Junior Brown's music combines the soul of country and the spirit of rock n' roll. Following years as Austin's best-kept secret, Brown and his music have since found an audience far beyond the Lone Star border. He invented his own guitar, one that combines the standard 6-string guitar and the steel guitar, and he calls it the "guit-steel." In Junior's hands, the guit-steel is an amazing tool, a means to creating some of the hottest, most heartfelt playing heard in years.
With a tight, seamless, and an acoustic sound that's uniquely their own—a mix of gypsy swing, big band jazz and cross-genre Americana music, original songs and some clever covers—the six-piece Belleville Outfit of Austin belies the tender age of its members and its vast experience garnered swiftly after its union around Merlefest 2007 in Wilkesboro, North Carolina.
