Peter Novelli Band
Starts: 10:00 pm
Description: New Orleans guitarist Peter Novelli starts with the blues and ends with the blues. In between those indigo goal posts the man throws in zydeco and swamp boogie. He shreds thick and heavy, funky and mean. He’s like a cape-less guitar hero one minute, or a gently strumming Delta troubadour the next, and then he careens into live polyrhythmic jams. It’s red hot throughout. He has shared the stage and the studio with cats like Dr. John and Chris Thomas King (“O Brother Where Art Thou?”) to name a few. Genuine road-burnin’ blues.

hits roadblocks. That has been a problem
in the past with the blues. Eli Cook's latest
album takes a stab at helping the music
evolve. It's not an earth-shatering turn by
any means. Any fan of the blues will recognize
the patterns and the structures of the songs.
But, at 25, Cook has been influenced enough
by bands like Metallica and Rage Against the
Machine to let a little bit of that seep in.
Most of the songs on Ace, Jack & King are
