Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound

Today May 15, 20268:00pm $20.00

Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound are the latest in Fresh Venerable. Benefitting from years of unassuming and understated hipness, they bring forth a funky, lyrically charged racket that sits comfortably with soulful sounds the world over.

Intricate but free-swinging, explosive yet intimate, fresh and green as grass.

Taking cues from the dance bands of western Louisiana (and his native Midwest), the streets (and 45's) of New Orleans, touring African and Caribbean combos and the soul, funk & blues of his youth coupled with early, teeth-cutting experience in the verbal hotbeds of the coffeehouse scene, Cebar is a masterful synthesist of rhythmic culture.

Tomorrow Sound are an elite crew of offhand adepts who bring plenty of their own wood to the fire. Drummer Reggie Bordeaux, casts his nets with a mystifying subtlety bringing his own fleet-footed refinement and grease. Multi-instrumentalist Bob Jennings, lends his bandleader the luxury of implying a much larger ensemble with his multi-hued contributions on keys and reeds. Bassist Mike Fredrickson (a distinguished singer-songwriter in his own right) anchors and prods with the best of them.

Paul Cebar cut his teeth musically in the coffeehouse folk scene of the mid-'70s in Milwaukee. First paying gigs took place in late '76 with an emphasis on solo recasting of small combo jump-blues and other early R&B. Upon graduation from New College in Sarasota, Florida, with a thesis addressing rhythm & blues varieties featuring a hearty emphasis on Louis Jordan and Buddy Johnson, Cebar dedicated himself to trodding the boards in earnest and spent substantial amounts of time testing the waters out New York way while exploring band dynamics with a soul and New Orleans-minded crew called the R&B Cadets back home. The Cadets ranged about from 1980 to 1986 and featured the grand original tunes of John Sieger alongside the winning assortment of B sides and obscurities that were the fruits of Cebar's research. Concurrently, he kept alive the spark of his solo work with a small group which came to be known as The Milwaukeeans. Throughout the early 80s, this combo featured Rip Tenor on tenor sax, Alan Anderson on upright bass, Robyn Pluer on vocals and Paul on acoustic guitar and vocals, and drew most of its repertoire from '30s, '40s and '50s jazz and R&B.

With the demise of the Cadets in mid-1986, Cebar and Pluer, Tenor and Anderson welcomed drummer Randy Baugher and early Cadet saxophonist/vocalist Juli Wood to a new dance-floor fortified version of The Milwaukeeans which reflected Paul's ongoing and deepening fascination with African, Latin American and Caribbean rhythm & blues analogues. Rambling about the Midwest for the remainder of the '80s with occasional forays east and south, The Milwaukeeans began to rely more and more upon the original material that began to emerge in the aftermath of years of interpolation and grappling with favorites.

The first studio album, "That Unhinged Thing," which was culled from a number of years of recording, finally saw the light of day in 1993. It sparked a wider itinerary in the touring department, with initial forays to the west coast and Canada, as well as returns to the east and south. Following the release of the record and six months of touring, founding member and estimable vocalist Robyn Pluer left the band to attend to le private life.

Rebuffing the command of the record label, Shanachie, that he add a female vocalist, Cebar and cohorts ventured forth into the storm without a label umbrella for what turned into two years of enthusiastic touring with much attendant hand-wringing. Finally, they landed on the shores of a little label that could (for a while), Don't Records, a Milwaukee-based, heart-driven indie. In the summer of '95, they set about making "Upstroke for the Downfolk," while upon its release in the fall of that year began to make inroads at adult album alternative radio outlets nationwide. The single "Didn't Leave Me No Ladder" ushered the fellows to a new level of visibility and the vans rolled on.

A six-song EP, "I Can't Dance For You," followed in the spring of '96 and was superseded by "The Get-Go," a full-length recording released in the fall of '97. Radio support was more sporadic, though the fan corps kept growing. But halfway through '98, Don't's distributor declared bankruptcy and its inventory was impounded. With its merchandise out of reach, Don't found it increasingly difficult and ultimately impossible to carry on.

In 2001, 151/2 years into the dance band incarnation of The Milwaukeeans, the fellows presented, "Suchamuch",a long-requested live album recorded at Martyr's in Chicago and continued to offer their multifarious wares to all and sundry. The present day incarnation of Tomorrow Sound took shape with the arrival (8 years back) of bassist, Mike Fredrickson, joining 22-year veterans Reggie Bordeaux on drums and Bob Jennings on saxophones and keyboards.

The peripatetic pageant continues unabated with renewed focus on "the song" in the context of the increasingly forceful rhythmic exploration that is at the heart of Cebar's quest. Stripping back to 4 pieces has opened up space for the understated command of Bob Jennings' keyboard and saxophonic thinking. Field Marshall Cebar's pithy guitar musing comes to the fore building upon the muscular rhythmic lattice laid by Reggie and Mike. With an ever-deepening appreciation for the funk and the polyglot rhythmic conception that is their trademark, Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound said More! More! More! in 2004. Way to thrive in 2005! Dipped their wicks in 2006, Partied like '11 in 2007, and have their wild heads on straight in 2008. Fine fine Fine into 2009! funked it again and again and again and again in '10, made like 2107 in '11, and have packed up the worry they shelved in '12, incorporated the added vim they were flirtin' with in '13 and are full-on sportin' A-team in '18.

Presently spreading the word with their gangling, headlong and insouciant record,"FINE RUDE THING", Paul Cebar Tomorrow Sound want and need you to come on out and help them get down.

Many musicians have graced the stage with Paul in the course of the aforementioned wander. He'd like to thank them all again for the loving spirit they brought to bear on the music. A partial list would include: Rip Tenor, Alan Anderson, Robin Pluer, Guy Hoffman, Juli Wood, Randy Baugher, Peter Roller, Tony Jarvis, Greg Tardy, Mac Perkins, Paul Scher, Michael Kashou, Michael Walls, Ethan Bender,Patrick Patterson, Romero Beverly and the present day crew, Bob Jennings, Reggie Bordeaux,and Mike Fredrickson. Viva le Musicianers!!!!!!!

Uncle Lucius, The Point

Tomorrow May 16, 20268:00pm $20 advance / $25 door

Last month Uncle Lucius released Live from Ear Studio. Recorded live to tape at Ear Studio in Austin, TX the record features select singles from their latest LP Like It's The Last One Left plus three covers: "Bertha" by the Grateful Dead; "Shadow People," a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers staple and "Just To Satisfy You" made popular by Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson.

Uncle Lucius has long been known for their unique blend of roots rock & roll and country soul. Since adding heavyweights Doug Strahan (guitar) and Drew Scherger (bass) to the fold, the band has expanded its palette, exploring new musical landscapes and reveling in the power that comes from following sonic avenues, without prejudice, wherever they lead. The results onstage speak for themselves.

During the years following the band's farewell tour in 2018, their audience continued to organically grow, highlighted by the placement of their song "Keep the Wolves Away" in an episode of Yellowstone and its subsequent RIAA gold and platinum certifications. After a few years on hiatus -- with a fresh outlook and a deep well of new ideas -- the band members began to shake off their collective rust and blueprint songs that mirrored their career and current status, hitting on themes of resolve and resilience. The band released their first album in 8 years Like It's The Last One Left last December via Thirty Tigers / Boo Clap Records. Since their comeback the band has toured consistently around the world and recently the 2nd single from Like It's The Last One Left, "All The Angelenos," hit #5 on the Texas Radio Charts.

An Evening with Roxy Music’s Phil Manzanera: In Conversation with Steve Palec

Tuesday May 19, 20268:00pm $35.00

Phil Manzanera is one of the UK's best-known musicians and record producers, having shot to prominence in the early '70s as the lead guitarist with the seminal band, Roxy Music. He is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading guitarists and record producers, combining his live playing with writing and producing new music. He was awarded the OBE in the 2024 King's Birthday Honours list: 'musician and producer. For services to music.'

In the Autumn of 2022 Roxy Music celebrated its 50th anniversary with a 10 date critically acclaimed tour of the US, followed by three dates in the UK: the triumphant 'victory' lap with original members, Bryan Ferry, Andy Mackay, Paul Thompson and Phil, culminated in a sell-out concert at London's O2 Arena. In 2023 Phil and Andy Mackay released their avant-rock album, AMPM, featuring Paul Thompson, followed by three London gigs in 2024. In September 2025 AMPM SOHO LIVE will be released.

In March 2024 Phil self-published 'Revolución to Roxy' his compelling memoir and during this year is giving a series of book talks, from Hay Festival, Cartagena to the Cat Club in Pontefract. November 2024 saw the release on Universal Records of '50 Years of Music' an 11 CD box-set with a 100 page book.

During the global pandemic Phil reconnected with his old friend, New Zealand legend,Tim Finn, and together they wrote and produced two stunning albums, 2021's 'Caught by the Heart' and 2022's 'The Ghost of Santiago.'

Manzanera, born to a British father and Colombian mother, has always taken a global approach to his music making, collaborating with musicians from South and Latin America, South Africa, Cuba and continental Europe. In 2018 he was part of South Africa's The Liberation Project and toured with them in Italy in the Summer of 2019. In 2018, at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, Manzanera teamed up with Roxy bandmate, Andy Mackay in a Roxymphony concert: orchestral arrangements of Roxy songs.

Over the last four years he has co-produced Pink Floyd's 'The Endless River', which was a global hit, achieving No 1 in over 20 countries, he released, 'The Sound of Blue', his own autobiographical album, co-produced David Gilmour's 2015 album, 'Rattle That Lock', which again topped the charts in 12 countries: he toured with Gilmour in the UK, Europe and South America. In 2015 he was Maestro Concertatore of La Notte della Taranta, Italy's largest free festival. He also took part in 'Sunshine of Your Love' a tribute concert to his friend, Jack Bruce.

Phil's musical influence stretches far and wide, but even he was taken by surprise when his guitar riff from 1978's K-Scope was sampled by Jay Z and Kanye West and became the Grammy winning smash hit 'No Church in the Wild' the first track on their multi-million selling album, 'Watch The Throne'.

Manzanera is now in his fifth decade as a professional musician. He joined Roxy Music in 1972, aged 21, as lead guitarist -- the line-up at this time was Bryan Ferry, Brian Eno, Paul Thompson and Andy Mackay. Roxy's rise was meteoric, with the band being hailed as the stylistic influence of the early 1970's. During the next 12 years, until 1983 when the band members went on a 'long break', Roxy Music released a series of international best selling albums, achieving ten UK top ten albums and touring extensively throughout the world. The 18 year hiatus ended in 2001 with a critically acclaimed, sellout 52-date world tour. In the summer of 2003 Roxy played 10 dates in the US followed by 13 European gigs in 2004, including performing at Live 8 in Berlin. Summer 2010 saw Roxy Music thrilling fans at Festivals in the UK, Europe and Japan, which was followed by a Winter UK tour, and dates in Australia and New Zealand. In 2019 Roxy Music was inducted into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performing live at the ceremony.

As a writer, producer and solo artist, Phil Manzanera has worked with many of the luminaries of modern music, such as Steve Winwood, David Gilmour, John Cale, Godley and Creme, Nico (Velvet Underground) and John Wetton (King Crimson, Asia). He has co-written material with many artists, including Brian Eno, Tim Finn, Robert Wyatt and David Gilmour. Manzanera co-wrote Pink Floyd's single 'One Slip'from their 1988 'Momentary Lapse of Reason' album.In the world of Rock en Español Manzanera has also produced seminal albums for Draco Rosa ,Enrique Bunbury, Héroes del Silencio Aterciopelados, Paralamas do Sucesso and Fito Paez.

Phil Manzanera has his state of the art Gallery Studios in West London. Artists that have recorded there include Robert Wyatt, Roxy Music, Brian Eno, Hot Chip, David Gilmour, Annie Lennox, Paul Weller, Kevin Ayers, and Chrissie Hynde.

Jed Harrelson

Friday July 10, 20268:00pm $20.00

Nashville based soul artist Jed Harrelson has found a way to fuse sounds of Soul, Rock and R&B. Music connects and he carries that into the center of his work, leaving both a euphoric and familiar presence. While he's independently released 15 songs in the last three years, he is working on a debut project right now. All of his music is recorded in house with his brother Hank as the audio engineer.

Being from Texarkana, Arkansas instilled a drive to hone in on his craft though the lack of music scene caused him to move where he could really express his artistic message which took him to Fayetteville, Arkansas. This is where he cut his teeth in the Northwest Arkansas music scene. Now living in Nashville since January 2020, Jed is independently touring the country with his band in a gold van called 'The Loaf".

By achieving and producing what feels good in his art, Jed just might help listeners do the same.

Goodbye June

Friday August 7, 20268:00pm $20 advance / $25 door

Fusing hard rock licks with deep South blues and gospel swing, the three cousins are fueled by their desire to craft timeless, catchy and anthemic rock songs. The band formed after the death of Tyler's brother in June (hence the band name), vowing to honor his memory with their soulful and life- affirming sound.

Since the release of their major label debut 'Magic Valley', the boys have earned the endorsement of Rolling Stone, contributed "Liberty Mother" to a high-profile Budweiser TV campaign as well as a WWE theme song, packed shows across the United States and Europe with Greta Van Fleet and ZZ Top, and racked up 140 million+ Spotify streams in the process. After notching placements on ESPN, NFL, NHL, Need for Speed, and Madden (EA), the band landed a #1 placement on the UK Rock Chart with their 2022 studio release 'See Where The Night Goes.' Now, the band is forging ahead with their latest album 'Deep in the Trouble.'

Eric Johanson, Sean Chambers

Saturday August 15, 20268:00pm $25.00

Eric Johanson blends sharp songwriting with a deep connection to the guitar, creating music that's dynamic, soulful, and rooted in a mix of rock, roots, blues, and modern influences. Whether channeling the swampy pulse of his New Orleans home or leaning into heavier, fuzz-laden textures, Johanson's music strikes a balance between grit and finesse, power and restraint. As American Songwriter puts it, he "displays his guitar prowess but within the borders of melodies and lyrics that push the boundaries of blues/rock... searing guitar work, and persuasive songwriting."

His 2023 album The Deep and the Dirty debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and solidified Johanson as one of the most compelling guitar-driven artists working today. He followed in 2025 with another Top 10 Billboard release, Live In Mississippi, capturing the raw electricity of his stage show. Extensive U.S. touring and sold-out headline runs across Europe have fueled rapid, word-of-mouth growth, building a reputation for performances that are powerful, unpredictable, and deeply connected to the room.

Johanson's ascent has earned recognition from both peers and critics. He was named one of Guitar Player Magazine's 25 Best New Blues Guitarists and included in Total Guitar's list of the Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time. Industry veteran Bob Lefsetz remarked, "It's like he digested all the music of the sixties--just like those musicians listened to the progenitors--and kept the flame a-burnin'. This guy has a place in the firmament."

Born in Louisiana and based in New Orleans for most of his life, Johanson's roots run deep in the city's musical culture. His breakout came when blues luminary Tab Benoit signed him to Whiskey Bayou Records and produced his debut solo album, Burn It Down (2017), followed by two years of touring with Benoit behind the kit during Johanson's opening sets. His second album, Below Sea Level (2020), marked a darker, heavier creative turn and solidified his identity as an artist willing to push beyond genre confines.

For The Deep and the Dirty, Johanson crafted what many critics call his most powerful work to date--a record that fuses raw, high-voltage guitar work with gripping, song-driven writing. The album leans into thick, fuzz-soaked textures, swampy grooves, and driving rhythms, while never losing sight of melody and emotional weight. It's modern blues with teeth--rooted in tradition but unafraid to hit harder, stretch further, and burn brighter.

Along the way, he has supported artists including The Record Company, Samantha Fish, Tab Benoit, Anders Osborne, and North Mississippi Allstars. His collaboration with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux resulted in a Grammy-nominated recording, further cementing his place within Louisiana's living musical lineage.

With a new studio album slated for 2026, Johanson continues to push modern blues into bold, unfiltered territory--expanding the tradition without diluting its soul.

Sunny Sweeney

Sunday August 30, 20268:00pm $20.00

Following your instincts is not as easy as Sunny Sweeney makes it look. A patron saint of broken hearts on the mend, Sweeney comforts the rest of us by being honest with herself--and everybody else. She is her generation's sly country conscience, warm but stubborn, sad but funny, rowdy but thoughtful.

"I am so glad I've been able to get this far in this business and still hold my music values," Sweeney says. "Being independent has given me the freedom to do more of what I want."

For Sweeney, doing what she wants has meant crafting smart honky tonk for about two decades. "I really do love country music," she says. "For me, it's the stories and hooks." Her new album Rhinestone Requiem is a delectable testament to that love, brimming with achingly pretty melodies and grown-up storytelling. It's also an expertly assembled grab bag of the traditional song structures that have built country music, one three-quarter whirl at a time.

If anyone has the bona fides to be country music's loving, defiant standard-bearer, it's Sweeney. In addition to releasing 5 critically acclaimed albums since her 2006 debut Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, she has become a trusted song curator and advocate for other artists as the host of her SiriusXM shows The Sunny Side of Life on Outlaw Country and Sunny Side Up on Willie's Roadhouse. Sweeney keeps adding new feathers to her signature hat: She and her longtime guitarist Harley Husbands produced Rhinestone Requiem and are working as producers on additional projects. "We both have very strong points and very strong opinions," Sweeney says of Husbands with a laugh. "But we work very well together."

Born in Houston and raised in East Texas, Sweeney made her home the road before settling down in the hills of Hendersonville, Tennessee, a couple of years ago. The release of Rhinestone Requiem represents another milestone. "This is the first time I've made a record when I don't have relationship problems," Sweeney says, smiling. "My last album, 'Married Alone,' was made right after my divorce. I've lived some life. Not all of it's been pretty. But I feel like that's what makes really good music."

Sweeney takes her calling as friend to the hurt and alone seriously--and Rhinestone Requiem shines because of it. Recorded at Tommy Detamore's Cherry Ridge Studio in Floresville, Texas, the album is a compelling snapshot of an artist who knows who she is and what she loves. "I really wanted this album to be a mixture of all the old styles of country music: Jerry Lee Lewis, Waylon Jennings, Loretta Lynn," Sweeney says, ticking off a list of some of her idols. "I make music for myself and hope other people like it."

Indeed, the specter of Lewis looms large from the jump, as the album kicks off with "Find It Where I Can," the sauntering, boozy warning shot recorded by The Killer, as well as other giants including Waylon Jennings. Sweeney discovered the song during a late-night YouTube deep dive into videos of Lewis and Mickey Gilley hammering away on dueling baby grands. "You know, they're cousins, and their grandmother taught them how to play piano--that's why their playing style is so similar!" Sweeney says, relishing the backstory. "And when I heard this song, I knew I had to record it. It's not like anything else I have, and it's just so fun to sing and play."

Jubilantly wry "Diamonds and Divorce Decrees" traces the ruins after a marriage ends, cataloging the pain but looking stubbornly toward happiness. Sweeney has been playing the song live, and has been struck by how strongly audiences have responded. "One night after we played it, a guy came up to the stage and said, 'I have three days until my divorce is final, and this song made me know everything is going to be fine,'" Sweeney says.

Written with dear friend and frequent collaborator Brennen Leigh, "Traveling On" is a superbly crafted heartbreaker showcasing the devastating power of Sweeney's voice. Written with Ben Chapman and Erin Enderlin, "Is Tonight the Night (I Make You a Memory)" starts off slow and sad, before speeding up into a bouncy, steel-laced shuffle worthy of The Mavericks. Another Enderlin and Sweeney collaboration with the addition of Gary Nicholson, "I Drink Well with Others" is a winking dancehall duster, while "As Long as There's a Honky Tonk"--written with Buddy Owens and Galen Griffin--is a swaggering, piano-soaked proclamation of independence.

One of only two album tracks Sweeney didn't have a hand in writing, "Last Hard Bible" nods to the whimsical grit of its writer and original recording artist, Kasey Chambers, as Sweeney steers the song firmly into saloon-worthy territory. Chambers and her brother, Nash, provide harmonies on Sweeney's track. When Sweeney joins Chambers for shows in the summer of 2025, it will mark a full-circle moment for Sweeney, who is a longtime fan of the Australian singer-songwriter.

With crying steel, "Waiting for a Reason to Stay" tearfully harnesses the potential of conversational songwriting. "I've always wondered what was wrong with me," Sweeney sings, opening the song with gut-wrenching directness. What follows is a meditation on the days after you've decided to go--but haven't left yet. "I've had records about the bad side of divorce," Sweeney says. "This is the light at the end of the tunnel." Written with Owens and Monty Holmes, album closer "Half Lit in 3/4 Time" is a masterclass in country songwriting, as line after line pays tribute to honky tonk's beloved instruments and golden standards. Featuring mournful fiddle, "Houston Belongs to Me" already sounds like a classic, as Sweeney's resilient narrator lays claim to a hot, complex city that she loves. "It's healing: You're taking ownership of where you are," Sweeney says.

It's an idea Sweeney has embraced in various ways throughout her career: Lean into who and what you are--and revel in the liberation that brings. Her fierce independence has allowed her to speak to us with the care of a trusted confidant who sees our hurts and is rooting for us. "I feel like that's what I grew up loving about music--I felt like I was their friend," Sweeney says. "I felt like they were talking--singing--to me."
