Old Lights w/ Jon Hardy and David Vandervelde

Monday, April 5th
Where: Off Broadway
When: 9 PM

What an all-star lineup, especially for a Monday night!  Jon Hardy and David Vandervelde should need no introduction – both write rock ‘n’ roll tunes full of soul and perform them live with the utmost precision and gusto.  And then there’s Old Lights – David Beeman and Co. are back in St. Louis and have some new songs to play.  In fact, below is a song “It Was You” from a new Old Lights demo – give it a listen, and see you at Off Broadway in a few!

Old Lights – “It Was You”

Everybody loves birthday parties, and you’re invited!  The Gramophone is turning 2 with the help of funky ensemble The Diplomats of Solid Sound, and the festivities are sure to last until the bar is left dry.  Hopefully, there will be a dancefloor left after openers JC Brooks & the Uptown Sound bring it on strong with their Chicago soul…and Wilco cover?  Jeff Tweedy would be proud.
