Spuyten Duyvil with The Newton Gang at the Rainwater Grill

This event will be held at the Rainwater Grill and is presented by River Spirit Music.

Cover is $10 with a 1 drink minimum.

"Spuyten Duyvil (as heard on WFUV's John Platt's Sunday Breakfast) describes itself as a group whose sound "wanders the last 100 years of American music conjuring embittered civil war veterans, recalcitrant small town bawds, suicidal bureaucrats, star crossed lovers  and bravehearted fools navigating the mysteries of daily life." In other words, they've got something to say, not merely something to sell. The band members of Spuyten Duyvil (a phrase taken to mean “In spite of the Devil”) are considered some of the finest musicians in their slice of New York. Fans of Spuyten Duyvil ... are drawn to 
their riveting storytelling and melodic harmonies... "their music is incredible". “No one’s making music like this  around here. It’s so complex and interesting.”  

-Riverdale Press December 2009

"The Newton Gang is Brooklyn's best dirt-kickin’ music. If you like your country just a little on the raunchy side, this is the show for you. They specialize in outlaw country, rockabilly, cow-punk, and alt-country. Not for the faint of heart. "Rooted firmly in the stealth-outlaw tradition of their 1920s namesake, The Newton Gang sneaks up on the listener like a good Kentucky Bourbon—mellow on the intake, but fueled by a strong, soulful kick that’ll leave you sprawled in a corner at closing time, pining for the redneck childhood you never had. The Newton Gang provides the kind of sincere, soft-spoken soundtrack perfect for long-distance drives and hungover mornings."
