Florencia Gonzalez + The Condescending Liberals + The Waysties + The Eugene Chrysler Band @ The Way Station

8pm- Florencia Gonzalez
Genre: latin tunes/songs

Florencia, composer, performer (multi woodwind player, singer), leads bands that range from a duo of guitar and saxophone/voice to a 20-piece Big Band. Her Big Band has been together since 2007; playing regularly in Boston until 2011, when it was selected one of the best 5 jazz bands in Boston right before moving to New York, where she established a new Big Band composed by the finest jazz musicians of the city.

Parallel to her large ensembles (Big Band and 11 Piece Band), she leads a Candombe Project, which includes horns, percussion, singing and a lot of beautiful tunes from Uruguay and Argentina. This project performs regularly in New York and has been part of a number of jazz and Latin music festivals.

Born and raised in Montevideo, Uruguay, her music career there encompassed a lot of different styles in a variety of groups (jazz, tango, bossa nova, rock, pop, funk, candombe, etc.). She studied classical saxophone performance in Uruguay and as a classical musician was selected in 2003 as first saxophone of the National Symphonic Orchestra. In 2004 she moved to Boston, where she studied Jazz Composition and Performance.

“…only someone who is truly talented can create music with such power and beauty. Ms. González is more than just a talented musician. She is, quite simply, a rarity—a woman of astonishing substance.”- LATIN JAZZ NETWORK

“Florencia Gonzalez Big Band performance was again one of the most interesting and enjoyable acts, with the right balance between school and street, between north and south, between the past and  future of music. ” - LA DIARIA

“…Florencia’s charts have an air you may call Third-Stream, you may call world music. I’ d call it worth hearing.” - JAZZ INSIDE

“…Florencia Gonzalez seems to impress everyone with whom she comes in contract.” -JAZZIZ

“…tracks driven by Latin dance rhythms (tango, candombe, etc) but stretched into modern realms of harmony, rhythm and form that recall the best of Mingus, Monk and Gil Evans…”
“…an array of colors (…) as she marries modern jazz harmony and the occasional 12 tonish classical master to the deepest folkloric traditions of the south of South America.”
- THE BOSTON PHOENIX

The Waysties leave their barstools and take the stage for a night of raucous Irish songs and Irished-up rock covers. Featuring The Rose West's Alex and Robare, Painless Parker's Noam, Molly  of Mist Covered Mountains and Sarah Biz.

11pm- The Eugene Chrysler Band
Genre: Rockabilly/honky tonk
For fans of:  Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Any Sun Records Artist

Playing the best in rockabilly, honky tonk, and western swing since 1986. The Eugene Chrysler consists of Eugene Chrysler on doghouse bass, Skip Krevens on guitar, Jeff Somerstein on cocktail drum, and Dan “The Lip” Lipsitz on sax. Our third CD, “That’s Right!” will be out in May. It’s got 22 of our all time favorite barroom classics. The high energy antics are not to be missed!

Blue Suede News; “Eugene’s has a rich baritone vocal just right for this music.”
CD Baby; “This is all around country. It reminds me of the famous words from "Blues Brothers": "We got both kinds: country AND western". Seen in overvue "Hill 'billy' Shakespeare" can be discriped as modern hillbilly with one foot in rockabilly and the other in western swing. But Eugene Chrysler is not afraid of playing many types of music. Allmost every track is in a new style. That makes it a very variated and collorfull album, sure to please all kinds of country-lovers from old time entusiasts to Shania Twain fans. Here's something for everybody.”

Itunes; “Hill "Billy" Shakespeare makes me want to hop into a Chrysler and head to Nashville. Its great driving music. Eugene Chrysler has pulled together a talented bunch of musicians that bring great energy to his often nostalgic and funny compositions. My favorite tracks are his duets, including Ray Benson from Asleep At The Wheel. Pull on your boots, polish your buckle and give it a listen!”
