Saturday, September 03, 2005 Bellyfull w/Strut

"This foursome melds steaming funk, sweet R&B, and aged acid-jazz; creating a melting pot that

appeals to the most seasoned jazz listener, and the folks who just want to groove all night

long." --Art & Soul of Southend Festival Review Bellyfull is pioneering the dynamic fusion of

funk, jazz, high-spirited soul, rock & roll and all of the peculiar places in between. Each live

performance presents an opportunity for exploration because of the improvisational nature of the

band. Bellyfull's unique instrumental compositions are wrapped in a depth of soul that moves in

organic waves throughout an entire show. Lead vocalist, Scott Daily, combines blues, jazz and R&B

to create his own unique style of singing lyrics which have as many powerful interpretations as

there are listeners.One of Charlotte's favorite bands. Celebrating this summer's release of their

new CD "Post Modern Ghetto.

Wednesday, September 14, 2005 An Evening With Keller Williams

The life of Keller Williams has been one long musical journey, each adventure contributing to his

reputation as one of today’s most distinctive and impressive guitarists/singer-songwriters. For

his latest exploit, Keller Williams releases Home. His eighth album release, Home finds Keller in

his natural element and perhaps better represents what dwells at the source of Williams’ prolific

artistry than any of his previous studio recordings. Home is undeniably the residence of Keller

Williams. Songs like "Love Handles" and "Apparition" embody Keller’s signature sound and exhibit

his ridiculously imaginative musical mind. Funky instrumentals such as "Tubeular" and "Butt Ass

Nipple" display his rhythmic genius and technical prowess. If Williams’ sounds comfortable in

Home, it’s because he is. This is Keller is his native habitat, and his passion for musical

conversation began here in this place. Recently, Keller has been playing in front of shoulder-to

-shoulder crowds throughout the country. Music lovers pack the venues to witness the inventive

solo performance that has garnered this genuine talent the nickname of "mad scientist." Many have

used similar techniques on stage and in the studio, but no one has taken it to such heights as

Keller Williams. Today, this release finds this unassuming guitarist on the edge of mass appeal.

Welcome to Keller’s Home. No need to wipe your feet. Just come on in.

Friday, November 11, 2005 Lotus

Lotus is a five-piece instrumental band based in Philadelphia. Their music is heavily tempered by

electronic styles such as deep house and drum n' bass, but inside the sonic layers seep heavy

doses of funk, jazz, and world music. Their high-energy live shows feature tightly composed

material balanced with stretched out improvisation. The sounds shift from spiritual and

meditative, to jubilant and energetic, from dark dance floor burners, to spaced-out waves of

ambience.
