The Barnyard Incident
Featuring the versatile vocal range of Deb Sullivan as well as solid rhythm and polished harmonies, the Bethlehem-based 4-piece acoustic band which arose from the ashes of the original “Incident,” wraps its eclectic selection of tunes around the talents of seasoned musical veterans of a wide variety of styles.
Deb on lead vocals and percussion, Perry Williams thumping the upright bass, Barry Moore picking his array of dobro, mandolin, and guitar as well as blowing some harp, James Sullivan playing fiddle and guitar, and everyone singing. Expect music from alt country to Bluegrass to Celtic to blues, covering the likes of the Be Good Tanyas, the Steel Drivers, Bonnie Raitt, and Doc Watson, along with band originals.
Whether seen on HBO’s Treme or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf, Grammy-winning Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, they’ve also extended themselves into the realms of funk and hip-hop to create their signature sound. “Rebirth can be precise whenever it wants to,” says The New York Times, “but it’s more like a party than a machine. It’s a working model of the New Orleans musical ethos: as long as everybody knows what they’re doing, anyone can cut loose.”
Join Will Staats as he presents a program on bobcats, the secretive and fascinating wild felines, whose presence in the state has been a success story in New Hampshire in recent years.
