7pm – Johnny Society
This power trio (fronted by guitarist-pianist-songwriter Kenny Siegal) has been reconnecting strands of ’60s and ’70s pop/rock artists–Beatles, Kinks, Bowie, Queen, early Little Feat–in novel ways since the late 90’s. And they’re still coming up with music that sounds both classic and brand new. Following their success, the NY Times declared “Johnny Society is led by a songwriting machine with a rock star’s voice.” In another glowing review, BabySue Magazine wrote “articulate arrangements support soaring vocal melodies that should affect the minds and souls of listeners everywhere. This is about as good as music gets.”
