The Good Bad Kids with Husky Burnette
8pm - $5
A unique blend of Americana, Folk, and Rock, by young creative minds Matt and Nicky. Characterized by powerful melodies, riveting harmonies, and musical diversity, the Good Bad Kids were created as a side project in October 2013, with an old beat up guitar and a rusty tambourine. Currently, Matt plays both acoustic and electric guitar with Nicky on drums, they are known for prominent his and her harmonies, genre diversity and energetic performances. They are preparing to move to Asheville, NC for better touring opportunities! Look for them coming to your town soon!
THE GOOD BAD KIDS - WEBSITE - FACEBOOK
Opening the night of music @ 8pm is Husky Burnette. Ever since 2011, when Brian “Husky” Burnette released his first solo album, the mission has been clear: play for fun, respect the art, tour heavily and keep the music real. Not your average blues man, he blends dirty blues and raw rock n roll with a punk energy, rough and gritty, hauling a truckload of tone. If blues-influenced rock n roll is a religion then he’s sho nuff preaching. Don't miss this gritty blues-rock show @ Jack of the Wood!
