ECE Presents just went crazy on our email inbox informing us about the super awesome shows they have booked for Nietzsche's in the next two months. The local promoter has brought four really great music acts into our city and one of the most intimate venues in town... so thanks ECE!
First off, Melvin Seals & the Jerry Garcia Band are performing at Nietzsche's both March 8th and 9th. Melvin Seals joined the JGB Band in 1980 and performed along side with Jerry Garcia until his death. This is one of the biggest shows I've heard of happening at Nietzsche's in a long time and the $26 ticket price proves it. Deadheads get ready, I'm sure this one will sell out (tickets available at Terrapin).
The following weekend is Texas percussionist, vibraphonist, bandleader, vocalist and songwriter extraordinaire Mike Dillon. You might not have ever heard of him but you definitely have heard of the bands he often plays with, such as Galactic, Les Claypool and Buffalo's very own Ani DiFranco. He is touring with members of the New Orlean's funk band Yojimbo. This show takes place on March 17th, tickets are $12 (at Terrapin). Members of On the Sly and Slykumu are also performing.
March 24th ece brings Zach Deputy to Nietzsche's for a show you will not want to miss. I had the pleasure of seeing Zach perform at Mountain Jam last summer with an unscheduled and unforgettable show that took place in the campgrounds. This man is unbelievably talented and puts on one hell of a one-man show. He is touring in support of his newest release "Another Day" and I hope you can make it! Tickets are $12 and will be available at the door.
Lastly but definitely not least, extremely talented pianist Marco Benevento will be performing at Nietzsche's on April 12th. I cannot express to you my excitement for this show. I've traveled to Bonnaroo and NYC to see this man play... and now he is going to be playing at Nietzsches!? If you are unfamiliar, Marco is part of the experimental jazz group, Benevento Russo Duo, Surprise Me Mr. Davis and GRAB (featuring Trey Anastasio and Mike Gordon of Phish). He has several solo albums that featuring some of my favorite jazz interpretations of songs like MMJ's "Golden" and The Knife's "Heartbeats". Tickets are $15 at the door, local band Steel, Keys and Brass are also performing.
