Jason Heath & the Greedy Souls are coming through Sacramento tomorrow on 12/8, playing the Torch Club. They create some killer modern Americana with a message. Their album, The Vain Hope of Horse, features guest spots from Tom Morello (RATM), Wayne Kramer (MC5), Nels Cline (Wilco), and Kid Lightning and the accordionist is Jason Federici, son of the late Danny Federici (The Boss’s E Street Band). Their for-charity track, “A Fighter’s Lullaby”, has received over 30,000 downloads on the Dannyfund.org website. Recommended for fans of: Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, The Nightwatchman, The Band, and The Pogues.
One of Sacramento’s favorite and best blues singers is leaving. Yes, Stacie Eakes is moving to the East Coast. Moving all the way to Delaware to be specific. She’s been playing the Torch Club here for years and has developed quite a following. There’s a nice write-up in the current SubMerge (issue 39). Her last show before she moves is July 31st at (of course) the Torch Club.
SubMerge says she’ll be back in October for the Blues For Life cancer benefit and also a New Years Eve show with The Superfreakes. That’s good to know. You are always welcome here in Sacramento, Stacie…
You could stay home. Or maybe go to one of these killer shows!
