[JakeShows] Killdevils at Nick-a-Nees Thursday, acoustic show at White Electric Friday, Sentimental Favorites holiday party Saturday afternoon

[Jacob Haller]

Hi all,

I've decided to put up a different free mp3 on my website every  
Monday.  You can see the latest at <http://music.jwgh.org/ 
freemp3.html> at any time. The current mp3 is my rendition of the Erin  
McKeown song 'Didn't They'.

Also got a bunch of fun shows coming up at the end of this week:


Thursday December 17 -- ELECTRIC KILLDEVILS SHOW
--------------------
WHERE: Nick-a-Nees, 75 South Street, Providence, RI
WHEN: 9 pm to midnight

Another free electric show at Nick-a-Nees (75 South Street in  
Providence) with me, Chris Monti, Jeff Keithline, and Matt McLaren.   
Have a meatball sandwich and enjoy the show!


Friday December 18 -- ACOUSTIC KILLDEVILS SHOW
------------------
WHERE: White Electric, 711 Westminster STreet, Providence, RI 02903
WHEN: 7-10 pm

Jacob Haller and Chris Monti from the blues-based band The Killdevils,  
Sweet78, a jazz duo featuring vocalist Serena Andrews, and the  
acoustically eclectic Anne's Cordial bring you a special holiday  
concert filled with jazz, blues and classic songs from long ago and  
holidays songs old and brand new!

Chris Monti and Jacob Haller are omnipresent musical forces in the  
Providence scene, appearing as solo acts and various bands. Jacob  
Haller just celebrated his CD release party and is receiving rave  
reviews for his album, "Mistaken Identity. Chris Conti from the  
Provdience Phoenix says ""Haller cites Randy Newman and They Might Be  
Giants as influences, which pretty much nails the tone throughout  
Mistaken Identity; simple, insanely-quirky ditties built around piano,  
guitar, and the occasional accordion, with subject matter ranging from  
stolen kidneys to 'Adorable Kittens.'"

Sweet78’s name refers to the old 78 records of ago, and fittingly so.  
The songs covered by this duo include favorite popular jazz tunes from  
as early as the 1920s to as recent as the mid 1960s. There is a common  
thread, of course. Most of the songs are standards by greats such as  
Duke Ellington, Gershwin and Nat King Cole, featuring clever lyrics  
and catchy melodies.

Anne's Cordial plays a musical cocktail of folk, blues and retro songs  
with enchanting three-part vocal harmonies and unique instrumentation:  
guitar, harp and keyboard. Described as everything from "chamber folk"  
to "neo-classical," Anne's Cordial is a bright new voice in the New  
England acoustic scene with skillful arrangements of old and original  
songs.

I believe we will be playing for tips.
