WMFO’s DJ Easy Ed Presents a Roots Music Blowout!

Roy Sludge
With Jim Haggerty and Judd Williams

The Barley Hoppers
With Stan “the Man” Kozlowski (Cranktones, Spurs)
and Cranky Frankie Blandino on Steel

Leah and Her J-Walkers

+ Easy Ed’s Record Hop

Roots music fans—and Cranktones and Spurs fans in particular--the Midway’s the place to be on August 17 for a night of rockabilly, rock ‘n’ roll, and hillbilly bop starring 

--Your old pal Roy Sludge (with Jim Haggerty on bass and Judd Williams on drums). The boys will be digging deep into their vast musical archives for rare gems they usually don’t perform live.

--Providence’s Barley Hoppers, featuring Stan “the Man” Kozlowski on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Ray Reniere on lead guitar, and Mike Volatile on bass. Joining them, for one night only, inimitable steel guitar whiz Frankie Blandino.

--Leah and Her J-Walkers—a red-hot trio with Leah Gaudette on lead vocals, Jim Gaudette on lead guitar, and Johnny Carlevale on bass

WMFO’s DJ Easy Ed spins the platters early, late, and on the breaks!

Don’t miss this rare night of roots music greatness. Each and every one of these performers is a master of their craft. And, as you may have noticed, the stars have aligned perfectly: We’ll have two thirds of the Cranktones and half of the Spurs in the room. Musical magic is guaranteed.

WMFO’s DJ Easy Ed Presents

Rockabilly and Honky Tonk Queen Marti Brom!
Backed by Members of Rocky Velvet

Special Guests Jittery Jack and Miss Amy

Plus Easy Ed’s Record Hop

Don’t miss this rare Boston appearance by the world-famous Marti Brom—simply put, one today’s top singers and performers. She’ll knock you flat with a rockabilly growl one minute and bring a tear to your eye the next with a sweet country ballad. Since moving to the West Coast we don’t see her nearly as much as we’d like to in these parts. Be sure to be a part of this sure-to-sell-out show. THIS WILL BE MARTI'S ONLY NEW ENGLAND APPEARANCE ON THIS TOUR.

Marti's touring band will feature members of New York ’s legendary Rocky Velvet! And Jittery Jack and Miss Amy will sure to please with their opening set. WFMO’s DJ Easy Ed spins the platters early, late, and on the band breaks.

Kick off summer 2013 with this kick-ass show!

August 11, 2012, at the Midway in Jamaica Plain, join us for a great night of rockabilly, rock 'n' roll, and hillbilly bop. Lynnette and the Longshots--a brand new band, starring Stumbleweeds front lady Lynnette Lenker--will be the first band on and then we'll hand the stage over to The Barley Hoppers from Providence.  I'll be spinning records to keep the dancefloor moving (early, late, and between bands). A good time is guaranteed. This will be a huge rockin' show--even in the middle of summer we have huge rockin' shows!
