Tupelo Announces Three New Shows

We have THREE new shows to announce this week!

December 14 TUPELO NIGHT OF COMEDY: This new comedy night booking features Jim Colliton and Larry Myles. If you’ve never been to a comedy night, you should try it out. The comedians and the tickets are cheap.

February 24 JAMES HUNTER: James Hunter is one of the best (and one of the few) British blue-eyed soul singers to emerge in the late 20th century. Hunter began his roots music career in the 1980s under the name Howlin' Wilf. His solo recordings feature rhythm & blues in the style of the 1950s, pitched between R&B, early rock & roll, and early soul. His 1994 solo debut, ---Believe What I Say, had guest appearances by Doris Troy and Van Morrison, and Hunter appeared on a couple of Morrison's mid-'90s albums, as well as performing as part of Morrison's Rhythm & Blues Revue. Hunter, also a skilled guitarist, wrote most of the material on his 2001 release Kick It Around. Go Records/Rounder picked him up a few years later, and he released his third full-length album, People Gonna Talk, in 2006. The album went on to be nominated for a 2006 Grammy Award. Listen

April 5 SMOKIN’ JOE KUBEK and BNOIS KING: For almost 20 years, the red-hot Texas rockin' blues of Smokin' Joe Kubek and Bnois King has been thrilling music fans all around the world. Kubek's raucous roadhouse fretwork is expertly complimented by the equally fiery guitar and soulful vocals of Bnois King. With literally thousands of live performances under their collective belt, the two create a one-two punch of raw, tough, blues-rock filled with intensity and purpose. Gigging with legendary musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert King, Freddie King and B.B. King (among so many others), Kubek learned first-hand how to live and play the blues and how to lead a band. Harp declared, "Kubek and King pump out rocking, kicking blues for those times when the feet just want to start stomping." Listen
