Recently formed supergroup The New Stew features six musicians from genre-crossing acts like Living Colour, The Lee Boys, Derek Trucks Band, Susan Tedeschi Band, Stone’s Stew, Col. Bruce Hampton & Aquarium Rescue Unit and more. The sextet came together on a mission “to pay respect to those recordings that influenced the players and to reimagine recordings that they feel should be heard and experienced in a live setting,” according to a media release. First up is a song-for-song recitation of Bill Withers’ album Live at Carnegie Hall, which was recorded in 1972 and includes iconic anthems like “Use Me,” “Ain’t No Sunshine” and “Lean On Me.” The artists have already revived Withers’ acclaimed performance for several crowds, and they bring the show to The Orange Peel on Wednesday, May 11, at 8 p.m. $25/$28. theorangepeel.net.
