Brother Dege @ Gallimaufry
Last Tuesday, I bravely fought the weather to attend Brother Dege’s concert at the Gallimaufry. After a couple of Milk Stouts while listening to the great Tom Portman (Great music but not very practical to listen to in a crowded atmosphere), the bearded dude finally appeared and delivered a great show for more than an hour. I had never seen the guy on stage and knew only the song “Too old to Die young” that Tarantino chose for his Django Unchained. Seated in his chair and accompanied by his Steel Guitar and a Loop Recorder, the songs are powerful, sad and funny, Despite being definitely unique, if anyone would like a comparison, think powerful blues like the white stripes but rooted deep in the south banks of the mississipi. It reminds me also of some of the best songs from the BRMC’s album “Howl”.
A great night with the Brother!
