9pm- Mud, Blood & Beer
Genre: Alt-country, Psychedelic Twang
For fans of: Uncle Tupelo, Steve Earle, Calexico, Jason and the Scorchers

Mud, Blood & Beer is a New York City-based alt-country, roots-rock, twang-core band that has been kicking around since early 2007, playing various NYC venues, including the Rodeo Bar, Hill Country, the Knitting Factory, Otto’s Shrunken Head, Hank’s Saloon, The Bitter End, and the Lakeside Lounge. The band carries on the spirit of alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo, the Jayhawks, and Jason & The Nashville Scorchers.

“The band has two first-rate songwriters and brilliant lead guitarists in Jon Glover and Jess Hoeffner, who share share an edgy, restless unease. Anger, danger and black humor pervade this album. They make a good team, Glover playing menacing southwestern gothic Steve Wynn to Hoeffner’s somewhat more eclectic, straight-up rocking Dan Stuart. With layer after layer of jangle, clang and roar, guitars and vocals up front, Stephen Swalsky’s bass and Stephen Sperber’s drums up just enough to keep everything rolling, the album’s sonics are better than most vinyl records made these days. Count this as one of the best of 2013 by a mile.” (from New York Music Daily review of latest CD The Sweet Life (http://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/tag/mud-blood-beer-the-sweet-life-review/).

New York Music Daily
[...]An adept blues guitarist…distantly ominous[...]

The Deli Magazine
[...]At times, his voice recalls the George Harrison from ‘All Things Must Pass’, a rocker who still understands the roots of his sound.[...]

Lonesome Highway
[...]Jon LaDeau has a voice that is a distinctive enough presence, there are hints of a young Neil Young.

"I can’t shake the weird, weird feeling that my crazy ex-biker/vet Uncle Bill picked up guitar a while back without telling me and is now spinning these stories of cracked Americana, booze, shipwrecks, and wimmen in his scraggly, deep-down voice"-space city rock
