About this concert
w/ Fox Walker
The Quick & Easy Boys
On their latest single “Better Than Today”, The Quick & Easy Boys show the band expanding their already vast catalog of music to touch on heartbreak with a sound evoking early ‘60’s r&b/soul while still keeping a modern sonic vibe. Contextually, lyrics plant the song firmly in the present day, lamenting lost love with a timeless yet subtly modern vernacular.
After releasing eight full length genre-defying albums since their inception in 2004 — including 2021’s space-saga “Cliffs Of The Scarlet Imperius” and 2023’s holiday single “Jesus, Where’s My Presents?” — The Quick & Easy Boys have a packed slate for their 20th year as a band. After the release of “Better Than Today”, the Boys will shift gears and let forth the Scary Things EP - focusing their already expansive sound on a heavy, dark album about things that go bump in the night. Think Sleep meets Funkadelic.
Mr. Vale's Math Class
You may or may not learn anything with Mr. Vale's Math Class but you're guaranteed to have a good time. This six piece funk band has horns that knock down the door and percussion-laden grooves that are the perfect accompaniment to any dance party. While you're at it, come grab some pots and pans & join in.
Alongside Jordan Vale on keys, trumpet and vocals, Mr. Vale’s Math Class includes musicians Nick Hamel on guitar, Patrick Golichnik on bass, James Ford on drums, Miette LaPierre on vocals, JD Erickson on saxophone along with a rotating cast of dynamic guest musicians.
Mr. Vale's Math Class seeks to evoke curiosity and create moments of play. Through our songwriting we explore anxiety and complex emotions, hoping to normalize the absurdity of being human and invite listeners to move their bodies, laugh, shout, and take life a little less seriously.
