Sun 3/1 @ 7:30PM
The cancellation of the Holmes Brothers show at the Music Box Supper Club due to illness did have one upside. Miss Tess & the Talkbacks, scheduled to be the opening act, have now booked a show of their own at the club, as part of its “Lucky 7” concert series where $7 gets you into the show AND a signature cocktail. It lets you check out new acts that may not have played the area much if at all for a very affordable price.
The Brooklyn, New York-based Miss Tess and her band play the type of alternative country that sucks up influences like Willie Nelson and Hank Williams and blends them with high-energy classic rock & roll, as well as a little swing, a dab of blues, a dollop of rockabilly, and even a hint of jazz. Miss Tess’s vocals sound relaxed and effortless, giving the retro-flavored tunes a comfortable approachability. She sounds like she’s having a good time without forcing it.
