From a press release:
Turchi releases “Can’t Bury Your Past” at Isis, April 23
“Beyond traditional genre constraints…reaching for a sound that is pushing the boundaries of Hill Country tradition.” – The Oxford American
“For all their communion with the past, TURCHI sounds vital, alive, and essential–a modern band.” – Living Blues
“TURCHI’s mindset and loose, fall-off-the-bone guitar grooves spiritually trace to somewhere down in the land of Burnside, Kimbrough, and Kenny Brown…these juke-joint-jammers always keep it murky and muddy while recounting doing it in the dirt, imparting violence, pondering death, and then doing it in the dirt some more.” – Bluesrag Magazine
Western North Carolina-based TURCHI releases their second full-length studio album on Devil Down Records (Redeye Distribution) April 22, 2014—led by frontman Reed Turchi’s slide guitar fuzz and hard-edged vocals, Can’t Bury Your Past is a culmination of the trio’s own “kudzu boogie,” the grimy-Memphis-motel saxophone of Art Edmaiston (JJ Grey and Mofro, Bo-Keys), soul-infused B3-organ and keyboards from Anthony Farrell (Greyhounds, JJ Grey and Mofro), the Billy Cox-meets-Talking Heads bass style of Andrew Hamlet, and the rock-steady Bonham-esque beats laid down by drummer Cameron Weeks.
Wednesday, April 23, at Isis Restaurant and Music Hall. 9 p.m., $10
