Outrageous FortuneReviews:“Outrageous
Fortune not only revive the rich repertoire of the classic jug
bands, but this expert outfit also revel in the wit, theatricality
and pure fun of the genre. They are a jubilation.” “Outrageous
Fortune’s richly-melodic vocal harmonies, coupled with their
unique sound using jug, bass, guitar, harmonica and washboard (as
well as other instruments), transports you back to the early jazz
and blues of the 1930s. The audience raved about the concert, and
many asked us to invite them back!” “That
was some of the best music by some of the most understated
musicians I've heard in a long time." “We
knew that Outrageous Fortune plays a variety of kinds of music,
but we asked them to put together a set of jug band songs to
follow the first Boston area showing of the documentary, Chasin'
Gus' Ghost, a film about the origins and continuation of jug band
music. Man, did they deliver! With excellent musicianship and
great harmonies, they were loose but tight; as we learned from the
film, just what a jug band should be.”
“I've
been playing guitar for 30+ years (mostly Top 40, and "mainstream"
& classic rock), so I'm pretty darn good. Having said that,
you just smoked me nine ways to Sunday!!!!!!!! Awesome
pickin',
bro!”
"We
still think about the wonderful time we had at our party and what
a great contribution Outrageous Fortune made to it. Everyone
we’ve spoken with about the party really loved your music
and remarked about how much it added to their enjoyment."
“You
were absolutely wonderful! You were definitely the icing on the
cake ending the concert in a warm, happy, and footloose frame of
mind!” “I thought it was terrific! Although I was supposed to meet my son after a few minutes, I just couldn't leave.” “You fellas are a very original group with great ideas and your originality makes your show memorable.” “I don't know if you are familiar with the Coffee House segment on NECN. I watch it regularly in the A. M. You guys are better than anyone I've seen on it, WGBH, Public Access Cable, etc.” - Concertgoers, Newton Public Library, 2009 |
