Wed 3/13 @ 7:30PM
White Buffalo Woman, a quartet from the Canton-Massillon area, recently released a self-titled four-song EP that sounds like it emerged from a place much farther south than Stark County and a time much further in the past than 2013 — about 1973.
The plaintive, bluesy “Because of Your Love” could be a long forgotten track by a contemporary of the early Allman Brothers, while “Baby Please” is drenched in old-school soul, with singer Evan Rutledge sounding a lot older, blacker and world-worn than he is. “You Will See” sounds like it actually IS the Allman Brothers, back before Duane died. And that takes them back to 1971. The band is at the Grog Shop tonight with two area bands, roots rockers Oldboy and dreamy ambient instrumental trio Nomads, opening. The three bands couldn’t be more different. Admission is $5.
