Tempest<\/p><\/div>\n

There is a lot of variety in the schedule for upcoming shows in the area \u2013 a Celtic rock band that was formed by a Norwegian singer (Tempest at 118 North and Havana), an American comedian whose roots are in India (Hari Kondabolu at the Grand), a punk\/pop singer with an interesting background (MZ Neon at TLA), a New Orleans rock band (The Revivalists at Parx Casino), a one-man\/band music project (Clap Your Hands Say Yeah at Johnny Brenda\u2019s), an all-star jazz band (San Francisco Jazz Collective at Annenberg Center), a hit Broadway musical tour (\u201cThe Waitress\u201d at the Academy of Music), a singer who was Born in Aleppo, Syria (Bedouine at the World Caf\u00e9 Live), a Prince tribute act (Dean Ford & The Beautiful Ones at the Queen) and live productions of popular television shows (\u201cThe Bachelor\u201d at The Met and \u201cCocomelon\u201d at the Kimmel Center). <\/p>\n

Tempest, a Celtic Rock band from the San Francisco Bay area, is coming to the area for a pair of shows \u2013 April 2 at Havana (105 South Main Street, New Hope, havananewhope.com<\/a>) and April 3 at 118 North (118 North Wayne Avenue, Wayne, 118northwayne.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The veteran band just released a new album, \u201cGoing Home,\u201d on the group\u2019s new record label Celtodelic on St. Patrick\u2019s Day, March 17, 2022.<\/p>\n

Co-produced by band leader Lief Sorbye and Robert Berry in November and December of 2021, the album is best described as \u201cEuro Celtic,\u201d as Tempest incorporates more Scandinavian and British Isles material into their brand of progressive folk-rock.<\/p>\n

The band also has an international flavor with its line-up. Sorbye is from Oslo, Norway. Guitarist Nikolay Georgiev was born in Hungary. Drummer Adolfo Lazo, who is an original member of Tempest, is from Cuba. The group also features San Francisco\u2019s Lee Corbie-Wells (fiddle, vocals) and Michigan\u2019s Hugh Caley.<\/p>\n

The band formed in 1988 with Sorbye (mandolin,\u00a0vocals), Lazo (drums), Rob Wullenjohn (guitar), and Mark Showalter (bass). The band has seen a changing cast of musicians, with Sorbye and Lazo being the only two constant members throughout the duration of the band\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n

Tempest has built a strong following in the area \u2013 especially because of numerous appearances at the Philadelphia Folk Festival.<\/p>\n

Now that the band is coming back to the area, its fans are saying, \u201ctusen takk,\u201d which is how you say \u201cthank you very much\u201d on Sorbye\u2019s homeland.<\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in Oslo,\u201d said Sorbye. \u201cI came to the states in my early 20\u2019s and now I\u2019ve lived here in the Bay Area for many years. I still go back to Norway quite often.<\/p>\n

\u201cI played guitar as a kid and then got interested in mandolin. I got into folk music through the British folk revival in the 70\u2019s \u2013 Fairport Convention, Horslips, Steeleye Span. The Incredible String Band was a real eye opener for me when I was a kid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI realized that I\u2019d stomp my feet to a fiddle and not a guitar solo. I was intrigued by traditional music. I got into traditional folk music \u2013 and also Norwegian folk music. Music is the language when words stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started playing with Irish immigrants in Oslo. Then, I moved to Galway for a while and then came to America. I was busking through the U.S. and settled in California.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a great place to settle down. The San Francisco Bay area is such a melting pot. There is world music and food from every corner of the earth. I\u2019m happy to call Oakland my home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tempest has released more than 20 albums starting with \u201cBootleg\u201d in 1991. The latest is the recently released \u201cGoing Home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe latest album is very Euro-Celtic,\u201d said Sorbye. \u201cIt\u2019s very close to home for me musically. We\u2019ve gotten a lot of radio play for our non-English songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some of those non-English songs are \u201cHjemreise,\u201d \u201cDe Tv\u00e5 Systrarna,\u201d and the Norwegian children\u2019s song \u201cP\u00e5l Sine H\u00f8ner\u201d (Paul\u2019s Chickens).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded \u2018Going Home\u2019 in November and December 2021, and it was released this year on St. Patrick\u2019s Day,\u201d said Sorbye. \u201cAll the material was worked up during the lockdown. You should never record an album until you have something to say. The new album makes a cohesive statement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at Havana on April 2 will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20.<\/p>\n

Hari Kondabolu<\/p><\/div>\n

Hari Kondabolu, who will headline a show on April 2 at the Baby Grand (818 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware, \u00a0www.thegrandwilmington.org<\/a>) is a funny guy.<\/p>\n

He is a comedian, writer and podcaster based in Brooklyn, New York. He has been described by the New York Times as \u201cone of the most exciting political comics in stand-up today.\u201d In 2018, his Netflix special \u201cWarn Your Relatives\u201d was released and he was named one of Variety\u2019s \u201cTop 10 Comics to Watch.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comedy covers subjects such as race, inequity, and\u00a0Indian stereotypes. He was a writer for\u00a0\u201cTotally Biased with W. Kamau Bell\u201d\u00a0and the creator of the 2017 documentary film\u00a0\u201cThe Problem with Apu.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents are from South India, and they came here in the 70s\u201d said Kondabolu, during a phone interview Tuesday from his home in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing born here, I wasn\u2019t given a context from another country. I learned Indian culture, but I grew up as an American. I grew up in Queens. It\u2019s very much a melting pot. The world should be like Queens.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the father of a son who is one-and-a-half. I want a future where the world doesn\u2019t make him feel he doesn\u2019t fit. In Queens, we didn\u2019t use the word \u2018diversity.\u2019 Diversity is there every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kondabolu knows how and where to mine comedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith my standup, I talk about topics such as racism,\u201d said Kondabolu. \u201cI also talk about what it\u2019s like to be the father of a baby during COVID.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is only the third headlining show I\u2019ve done since the two-year hiatus. It\u2019s exciting. And people are excited to come out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe hour isn\u2019t different than what I\u2019ve done. It\u2019s still me. But, it\u2019s my first time talking about being a dad \u2013 about the ego that has to be suppressed when you\u2019re a parent.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy life, my work, my art \u2013 they\u2019re all about me. There has been a shift. Now, life is all about that living thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kondabolu may have softened a bit in some ways but not all the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cRace has always been a big part of my humor,\u201d said Kondabolu, who has released two comedy albums (\u201cWaiting for 2042\u201d and \u201cMainstream American Comic\u201d).<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a leftie. I\u2019m very much focused on oppression and care about it. I was an immigration rights worker and I still have that search for fairness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at the Baby Grand on April 2, which will feature Chloe Radcliffe and be hosted by Electra Telesford, will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $31.<\/p>\n

When fans head out to see Poppy headline a show at the Fillmore Philadelphia (1100 Canal Street, Philadelphia, 215-309-0150, www.thefillmorephilly.com<\/a>) on April 2, they would be well-advised to get to the venue in time to catch the opening act — Mz Neon.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Mz Neon<\/p><\/div>\n

Mz Neon so far has released two EPs out along with several singles.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot of new material in the works,\u201d said Mz Neon, during a phone interview Tuesday afternoon as she travelled between gigs in Toronto and Montreal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have two EPs currently and I just released a single. Actually, I re-recorded my first single, \u2018Pussy Stick,\u2019 which I made with Linda Perry.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EPs were part of my Queen Hyena Series. \u2018Volume 1\u2019 and \u2018Volume 2\u2019 dropped in the spring and fall of 2020. \u2018Volume 3\u2019 is in the works. Hyena is my public persona.<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided to re-interpret that song. It has new life breathed into it. I did the vocals at Linda\u2019s amazing studio.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mz Neon offered this description of the new single, \u201cI just wanted to rap about authentic situations, stories, and concepts that I\u2019ve experienced; juxtaposed with conceptualized storytelling based on life experiences, quantum realities and spiritual revelations\u2026there\u2019s a lot of esoteric references throughout, some more obvious than others.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mz Neon is a genre-bending musician, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and multimedia artist using performance and lyrics to express her sexuality as a trans woman and defy misconceptions about herself and anyone who identifies outside of the binary spectrum – both gender wise and ideologically.<\/p>\n

A lyrical provocateur, Mz Neon confronts issues of identity, sexuality, politics, spirituality, and lived experiences as a trans-femme-fatale. She is a triple threat of sharp wit, hypnotic sensuality, and musical virtuosity.<\/p>\n

A Massachusetts native, MZ Neon moved to New York City after high school where she spent more than a decade performing in a number of bands and working in fashion as a couturier, before relocating to Los Angeles in 2017.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was born in the Boston area and moved to New York when I was 19,\u201d said Mz Neon. \u201cI was in New York for 15 years and then moved to L.A.<\/p>\n

\u201cMusic was always where I felt I belonged. I didn\u2019t even know what a trans person was when I was growing up. I gravitated to goth rock and glam.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was always a performer ever since I was a baby \u2013 and I was always doing dance stuff. Music was a part of finding my identity. It was a place where I could express my gender fluidity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can remember back when I was four or five. When people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up and I said \u2013 a girl. I was always androgenous and I got bullied a lot growing up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started in music when Marilyn Manson was at the height of his popularity. Getting into that was a gateway to all the other stuff like David Bowie. I remember the first time I went out dressed as a girl. It was a show at the Palladium in Worcester with GWAR and the Misfits.\u201d<\/p>\n

On this tour, Mz Neon is accompanied by one other musician.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy bandmate is Ian\/Lilian Void,\u201d said Mz Neon. \u201cThey are non-binary. We met in the past year through a friend in Portland. I\u2019m primarily a solo artist but I asked Ian to come on board as a DJ and guitarist.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m doing a 30-minute set. There is one new song and some different mixes of older songs. There are no breaks between the songs. It\u2019s just \u2018balls to the wall\u2019 for 30 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at the Fillmore on April 2, which has Poppy as the headline act, will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $27.<\/p>\n

Cloak<\/p><\/div>\n

The Atlanta heavy metal band\u00a0Cloak has played Philadelphia several times over the past few years and has steamrollered audiences every time.<\/p>\n

In addition to being one of the heaviest metal bands in America, the intense quartet from Georgia always is accompanied by bands that are similarly brutal.<\/p>\n

Back in November, Kung Fu Necktie hosted Cloak\u2019s \u201cMarch of the Adversary Tour,\u201d which features Demiser and Spiter as the opening acts. In a 2019 show at Underground Arts, it was a metal triple bill featuring Cloak, Khemmis and Moros. That same year, Cloak played Philly as part of the Decibel Beer & Metal Prefest 2019 along with Integrity, Full of Hell, and Devil Master.<\/p>\n

Now, Cloak is returning for a show on April 6 at Silk City (435 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, www.silkcityphilly.com<\/a>) sharing the bill with Tombs with Restless Spirit as the opening act.<\/p>\n

It would be safe to say that the Georgia-based headliners, who are touring in support of their most recent album \u201cThe Burning Dawn,\u201d operate under a \u201ccloak of darkness.\u201d Their record label Season of Mist bills Cloak \u2013 Scott Taysom, Vocals & Guitar; Max Brigham, Guitar; Sean Bruneau, Drums; Billy Robinson, Bass\u00a0\u2014 as \u201cBlackened Death Rock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cloak\u2019s most recent album is \u201cThe Burning Dwan,\u201d which was released October 25, 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still touring \u2018The Burning Dawn,\u2019\u201d said Taysom, during a phone interview Tuesday afternoon from his home in Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded it in early 2019 and it came out that fall. That album has been out two-and-a-half years, but we had two years of not touring. So, it\u2019s kind of new in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cloak blends the sounds of black metal, rock-and-roll, and homegrown Southern sludge to create their own unique and menacing sound.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started in 2013,\u201d said Taysom. \u201cMe and Sean started jamming in early 2013. I had played in punk bands and Sean in hardcore bands. It wasn\u2019t a unified thing at first. It was a puzzle.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took time to put it together right. We were together for about three years before we started recording.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur first album was \u2018To Venomous Depths\u2019 in 2017. Prior to the album, we did a two-song EP that was just called \u2018CLOAK.\u2019 It was black metal with elements of rock-and-roll and death metal. We try to make each album different.\u201d<\/p>\n

Decibel Magazine placed \u201cTo Venomous Depths\u201d at #20 among their \u201cTop 40 Albums of 2017.\u201d CLOAK\u2019s sophomore album, \u201cThe Burning Dawn,\u201d was released in 2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur second album was a bit more streamlined \u2013 more stripped down with less long songs,\u201d said Taysom. \u201cThen, the pandemic started right after the album came out.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the pandemic, we wrote another album. The new music is faster and heavier. It\u2019s the sound I\u2019ve been chasing for a while. It\u2019s evolved. We already did what we wanted to do with the first two albums.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do most of the writing, but it\u2019s split. Everyone contributes. I usually start it and it usually starts with guitar. I demo everything I come up with. Sometimes it\u2019s riffs and other times it\u2019s full songs. The lyrics always come at the end. The instrumental usually leads me to where the lyrics should go.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just recorded a new album,\u201d said Taysom. \u201cWe\u2019re done tracking and it\u2019s in the mixing process now.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt probably won\u2019t come out until next year. A lot of tings have caused it to get backed up. Having to wait so long sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans should not expect a serious preview of new material.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re only playing one new song \u2013 \u2018The Holy Dark\u2019 \u2013 on this tour,\u201d said Taysom. \u201cI don\u2019t like to play new songs until they\u2019re released. I did the same thing with \u2018The Burning Dawn.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe keep evolving. We\u2019ve become darker and heavier \u2013 and a better live band.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time we\u2019re touring with Tombs. We have the same management and same label. Our music should fit fine. We each do a 40-minnute set. We\u2019re co-headliners, so we might switch who plays last from night to night.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tombs<\/p><\/div>\n

Tombs is a metal band from Brooklyn featuring Mike Hill \u2013 lead vocals, guitars, synths; Justin Spaeth \u2013 drums, synths, guitars; Drew Murphy \u2013 bass, backing vocals; and Matt Medeiros \u2013 guitars.<\/p>\n

Currently, Tombs is touring in support of 2020\u2019s\u00a0\u201cUnder Sullen Skies,\u201d which was been named one of the best metal releases of 2020 by\u00a0Metal Insider,\u00a0Decibel Magazine,\u00a0The Pit,\u00a0Riff Magazine,\u00a0Chicago Music Guide’s Global Music Podcast, and others while drummer Justin Spaeth has been dubbed one of the best drummers of 2020 by\u00a0Sick Drummer Magazine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first time to tour for \u2018Under Sullen Skies,\u2019\u201d said Hill. \u201cWe played one show at the end of last year \u2013 in November at the Brooklyn Monarch in Bushwick — but this is the first real tour. I had almost forgotten how good it feels to play live.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Under Sullen Skies\u2019 came out almost two years ago. Our label Season of Mist had already spent money on production on promotion. It was up to them. So, we put the album out during the pandemic. Unfortunately, we couldn\u2019t tour to support the album.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill, I\u2019m happy that the album came out when it did. Now people have had time to listen to the album. We also did some videos and some streaming.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s weird that we haven\u2019t played any of the songs from \u2018Under Sullen Skies\u2019 in front of people. We\u2019ve practiced then during the lockdown, and we\u2019ve played them back-to-back with older songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder Sullen Skies\u201d is the band\u2019s fifth album and first on Season of Mist. Tombs\u2019 previous album was \u201cThe Grand Annihilation,\u201d which was released on Metal Blade Records in 2017. The band\u2019s first three LPs were all on Relapse Records \u2013 \u201cWinter Hours\u201d in 2009, \u201cPath of Totality\u201d in 2011, and \u201cSavage Gold\u201d in 2014.<\/p>\n

Tombs\u2019 music has been described as \u201catmospheric black metal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMetal is the most forward-thinking and creative genre,\u201d said Hill. \u201cIn the beginning, I had to figure out what I wanted to do. The music is heavy and dark but there is also influence of bands like My Bloody Valentine \u2013 evil shoegaze \u2013 more synthesizers and more depth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Hill and his band are taking the \u201cnew\u201d music to the fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have this tour with Cloak,\u201d said Hill. \u201cThen, we have a tour with Origin and Abysmal Dawn in May and June on the West Coast. After that, we\u2019ll do a proper U.S. tour in the fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at Silk City on April 6 will start at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15.<\/p>\n

Pies play a role in the hit musical \u201cWaitress,\u201d which was nominated for four Tony Award and six Drama Desk Awards in 2016. The show\u2019s Christopher Fitzgerald won the Drama Desk Award that year for \u201cOutstanding Featured Actor in a Musical.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWaitress\u201d is a musical with music and lyrics by Sara Bareilles and a book by Jessie Nelson. The musical is based on the 2007 film of the same name, written by Adrienne Shelly.<\/p>\n

The musical \u201cWaitress\u201d tells the story of Jenna Hunterson, a waitress in an unhappy marriage to her husband Earl. When Jenna unexpectedly becomes pregnant, she begins an affair with her gynecologist Dr. Jim Pomatter. Looking for ways out she sees a pie contest and its grand prize as her chance.<\/p>\n

The original production of \u201cWaitress\u201d premiered at the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts in August 2015, with direction by Diane Paulus and choreography by Chase Brock. It starred\u00a0Jessie Mueller<\/a>, Drew Gehling and Joe Tippett as Jenna, Jim and Earl, respectively. It made its Broadway debut at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre in April 2016. A U.S. national tour began on October 20, 2017.<\/p>\n

Brought to life by a groundbreaking all-female creative team, this irresistible new hit features original music and lyrics by five-time Grammy\u00ae nominee Sara Bareilles (\u201cBrave,\u201d \u201cLove Song\u201d), a book by acclaimed screenwriter Jessie Nelson (\u201cI Am Sam\u201d) and direction by Tony Award\u00ae winner Diane Paulus (\u201cPippin,\u2019 \u201cFinding Neverland\u201d).<\/p>\n

Jenna, an unhappy waitress and expert pie maker, is stuck in a small town and loveless marriage. She is also faced with an unexpected pregnancy that may end her dreams of opening up her own pie shop. As fate would have it, she enters a baking contest in a nearby county and meets a handsome new doctor. With the help of a quirky crew of fellow waitresses and loyal customers, Jenna makes use of a secret ingredient she\u2019s been missing all along and that\u2019s courage.<\/p>\n

Jisel Soleil Ayon will don an apron and bake across the country as Jenna in the national tour of \u201cWaitress,\u201d while Gabriella\u00a0Marzetta\u00a0plays Dawn and Brian Lundy plays Ogie.<\/p>\n

Dawn is a friendly waitress but is also very shy. After a while, she tries an online dating service where she gets introduced to Ogie. They start dating and eventually get married.<\/p>\n
