Lesley Kernochan + The Seventh Word + The Bloodshots @ The Way Station

Live Music: January 24, 2015, 8pm-12am, The Way Station, 683 Washington Ave, BK, http://waystationbk.blogspot.com/ $5 suggested donation

8pm- Lesley Kernochan

Genre: singer/songwriter + ham
For fans of: Gillian Welch, Flight of the Conchords, Regina Spektor

Lesley Kernochan is equal parts singer/songwriter and ham. Her show is therefore a bit like going on a beautiful hike in the forest with a bubble gun and a partially tamed dragon. Lesley’s voice is both intimate and powerful and her songs bounce between hilarious and heartfelt. She has toured with many eclectic bands including, The March Fourth Marching Band and Vagabond Opera.

“Filled with unending smile-inducing brilliance!” – KBOO, Portland OR

“Kernochan’s jazzy pop is intelligent, playful, and has plenty of nuance and groove to boot.” - CDBaby Pick of the Week

9pm- The Seventh Word
Genre: Rock and Roll
For fans of: Neil Young, Velvet Underground, Meat Puppets, White Stripes

In their current formation as a power trio, Brooklyn’s The Seventh Word toes the line between dirty, distorted, distinctly American rock and sticky, cynical pop, with unexpected melodies supporting wistful lyrics regarding the complexities of lost love, memory, and imaginary mathematics. Singer/guitarist/pianist Isaiah Singer studied poetry with Ishmael Reed, and is a former member of Genesis P-Orridge’s Psychic TV and Bryin Dall’s 4th Sign of the Apocalypse.

10pm- Little Lesley and The Bloodshots
Genre: Rockabilly
For fans of: Wanda Jackson, The Chop Tops, Link Wray, Elvis Presley, The Living Deads, Hank Williams III

The Bloodshots are up-and-comers that have been taking the neo-Rockabilly scene by storm with their twangy roots sound and high energy live show. Little Lesley, the feisty blond bombshell on standup bass and lead vocals, brings it every time with a voice that’s a mind-blowing mix of Wanda Jackson and Patsy Cline, and jaw-dropping bass moves.
