  Howland & Local 845 Presents: Adam Levy & The Mint Imperials
Adam Levy & the Mint Imperials


Adam Levy is best known for his tenure as the guitarist in Norah Jones’ Handsome Band (2001 through ’07). He played on her Grammy-sweeping debut 'Come Away with Me' and her next two releases—'Feels Like Home' and 'Not Too Late'.

Levy has been involved in several other successful recordings, including Amos Lee’s 2005 Blue Note debut and Tracy Chapman’s career-revitalizing 1995 CD 'New Beginning'. He has also performed live in recent years with Rosanne Cash, M. Ward, and Lisa Loeb. With all that high-profile guitar work, it’s easy to overlook Levy’s skills as a songwriter—though he penned “In the Morning” for Jones’ 'Feels Like Home' album and several other artists have recorded his songs. There’s no doubt, however, that the best way to hear Levy’s carefully crafted music is straight from the source.
Levy’s latest recording is 'Washing Day', produced by Marvin Etzioni. Along with Levy’s unique voice, emotional songwriting, and blues-infused guitar playing, the album features the dynamic interplay of Levy’s band—bassist Andy Hess (Gov’t Mule, the Black Crowes, John Scofield) and drummer Tony Mason (Norah Jones, Martha Wainwright, Cyril Neville, Charlie Hunter), collectively known as the Mint Imperials.

“Levy is a player of wit and variety.” —L.A. Weekly

“Imaginative and elegant.” —San Francisco Chronicle

“Eloquent” —London Times

“Completely wank free.” —Guitar Player

Tickets: $10.00

  RAMBLIN' JUG STOMPERS ...They are back!
Local 845 and the Howland Proudly Present

The Ramblin Jug Stompers
play 78 rpm music for the 21st century. Their ramblin style nods to the great tradition of American string band music while winking directly at the classic jug bands of the 60s folk scene.

Friday March 26
Doors 7:30PM
Tickets $12

Witness their much-anticipated return!  Since they were here last year, they've release a brand new album, Hobo Nickel.

Pick a little banjo... Blow a little jug... Strum a little six-string... Scratch that 'board... Put it all together, and what do you get?
 

That's right, boys and girls, moms and dads - Ramblin Jug Stompers have whooped up a brand spankin' new album called “Hobo Nickel”.
 
Firing up their trademark blend of back-porch picking and junk-yard jazz, the well-traveled acoustic quartet announces the long-awaited release of "Hobo Nickel".
