The Twangbusters - Opening Sarah Levecque

The Twangbusters:
Boogie, Blues & Bop with a heapin' helpin' of twang and sass, The Twangbusters bust out their own high-energy danceable blend of American roots juke-joint rhythms and soulful blues! Led by dynamo Paula Bradley (Miss Paula), described as "Patsy Cline meets Bessie Smith" on lead vocals, piano & ukulele, with the inimitable Peter "Dr. Z" Zarkadas on electric guitar (Sarah Levecque Band, Raw Symphony), and joined by rhythm masters Brian Rost-upright bass (Tarbox Ramblers, Girl Howdy) and former Nashville drummer Kathy Burkly (Girls Night Out)- they mix the best of bluesy country, boogie woogie & barrelhouse into a musical cocktail, shaken & stirred. Guaranteed to make you move yer feet! BOTTOMS UP!

Sarah Levecque:
Ms. Levecque is a singer songwriter guitarist who moves easily between the sturdy roots of American music. Influenced in equal parts by early blues, country, folk and rock music Sarah has two full CD releases of her original material.

A Maine native, Sarah has been crafting her song-writing skills in the Boston / Cambridge / Somerville scene for the last eight years. An early music education in classical piano gave way to her love of early blues music. The Blues, raw and free of the conventions of her earlier training led Sarah to play guitar and eventually front her own band. At 19 she began to sit in with bands playing the music of Johnny Lee Hooker, Magic Sam, T-Bone Walker and Albert King. Her writing has evolved from the Blues tradition and her shy demure style may belie her capacity to bring strong and authentic blues guitar work to her live performances.
