Back before computers and cell phones and i-everything, when we were still trying to find our way, in the corners and pockets of our country when things were simpler, though always complicated by the human condition, there was music. It spoke of the lives of our families; the older generations before you or me, before Mom and Dad, before Grandma and Grandpa. It was the feeling of the soft blades of grass between your toes on a warm summer day; of a tall cold glass of lemonade after a back-breaking day of work in the hot sun. It was dancing with your best girl under the stars. It was the voice of life and family and experience and love and heartbreak. It is where we come from and who we are; our roots.
Generations later, Ten Cent Howl has distilled that distinctly American experience into song once more. This popular regional band makes its debut performance at the Opera House.
Band members include:
Bill Smith – Vocals, acoustic guitar
Jerry Hall – Bass, vocals
Peter Ramos – Drums
Charlie Wesley – Electric guitar
Sasha Pack – Keyboards
“Ten Cent Howl managed to marry the influences of bluegrass, rockabilly, primal rock ’n’ roll and Pogues-like punk-folk with strength and vitality.” — Jeff Miers, The Buffalo News
“This is a unique band with plenty of lyrical and musical sweetness. This includes exquisite vocals, sensational and evocative original song-writing, and spectacular musicianship.” — Jay Burney, The Public
