Uphill gets down
Local blues band Uphill held their CD release party on Friday, June 12 at Arts of the Albemarle. The CD is called “Blues & Mojo” and was recorded by Edenton celebrity drummer Martin Parker of Out’n the Cold. The Uphill CD is a mix of originals and covers and features the band’s trademark Texas/Chicago/Swampland blues sound. They will be appearing at the Hooters in Kitty Hawk on June 26 and at Kathie’s Steakhouse at Chowan Crossing in Edenton on June 27. Check out the Web site at Uphilltheband.com to purchase the CD. Speaking of Out’n the Cold, Parker has been on tour with country music star and Grammy winner Patty Loveless for the past several months and even made an appearance on Conan O’Brien. Word is Out’n the Cold will be performing their unique blend of rock/country/bluegrass originals and covers at Arts of the Albemarle on July 25. To hear the band’s latest CD (recorded by Mr. Parker, of course) just go to outnthecold.com. Though there’s no word on a CD release from pop/rock group Further Adieu, they have been quite busy. They will be at the City Wine Sellar on June 26, and at Mama Kwans in Kill Devil Hills on June 30. The band has gigs lined up all the way through August. Check out some of their tunes on MySpace at MySpace.com/furtheradieu. Jazz favorites Connected haven’t made any announcements about a CD coming out, but they have been making themselves known around town at The City Wine Sellar and also at Arts of the Albemarle. Keep an eye out and check them out on their Web site at dwconnected.com. Jam-rock band Guta has been in and out of town lately in between playing gigs across the state. They only have two members - Drummer Christian Mara and Guitarist/vocalist Ted Sablon - listed on their MySpace page, so it’s anybody’s guess as to who is playing bass. They will be playing in Arkansas and West Virginia through August and will be back in town on Sept. 12 at Coasters. Local rocker and one-time American Idol hopeful James Ethan Clark apparently made a good impression playing at the ceremony in Wilmington for the return of Miss USA. Check out his MySpace page at MySpace/jamesethan to hear songs and see schedules. That is all.
