Third Annual Benefit for The Tisch Brain Tumor Center This Friday at The Pour House


That's right, folks.   That time of the year has arrived in which we get together and get down for a great cause. For three years, members of Washington, DC based indie band, The Moderate , have worked hard with others to pull together another evening of live music, friends, and fund raising.   This year the benefit also welcomes local alternative ensemble Wembley , along with singer / songwriter David Titchner.  

Please do your best to make it to the Pour House this Friday evening.  All proceeds go directly to the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke, a facility dedicated to saving the lives of children dealt such a hard hand so early in life.

The Hot at Nights @ Marsh Woodwinds Thursday night

The Hot at Nights Bio ( not written by yours truly / too good to not just cut and paste) :

Says one Carolina newbie to one Carolina native, "Dang! I knew it would be hot in the Summer down here, but I had no idea that it would get even hotter at night!!" Meteorologically speaking, there is a scientific explanation for this phenomenon. But as far as the Raleigh-based exploratory jazz trio called The Hot at Nights, there is no explanation for them. 8-string guitar virtuoso Chris Boerner leads the group, with Matt Douglas on sax/woodwinds and Nick Baglio on drums. The group melted together in Boerner's studio over the many sweltering evenings of Summer, 2010. Though largely improvisational, the group's compositions pull from contemporary songwriters, classic funk, pop, rock, and of course the electric avant garde stylings that have spanned the last 30 years of contemporary jazz. Complex rhythms can quickly transform into head-bobbing groove fare. Simple melodies coaxed by all three players can explode into cacophonous meteor showers at the drop of a dime. Their limits go as high as the stratosphere and deep into the Earth's mantle. Both of which keep them sweating... even after the sun goes down.
