Live from SugarHill, Episode XIX airs now at 7pm and is a collaborative effort between Zenfilm, OutboundMusic.com and SugarHill Recording Studios. Comprised of former members of the Dedringers, Austin’s The Happen-Ins features Sean Faires and John Michael Schoepf with Lomita frontman Ricky Ray Jackson and joined later by Harlem Spiritual Orchestra Drummer, Falcon Valdez --its no surprise that they offer up a sound that blurs the lines between classic taste and youthful filth. Brimming with infectious melodies, bacon greased guitars and sweaty hip shaking swagger, the live shows helps them brandish their own culture and spirit seeped in rhythm & blues and rock n’ roll. Born a full turn from the white picket fences of America, Craig Kinsey was raised on Southern lore from a family of moon shiners. His teenage years were spent train hopping, walking, and driving across the country in search of “the old days… Guthrie, Kerouac, and John Lee Hooker.” This seeking out the marrow of life led him into the great silence of a monastery and out again into music’s center stage. His album, The Burdener starts off with a circus— a raucous, grinding New Orleans sound, then blending tunes which weave a tapestry of barroom piano, brass, strings and gypsy frontier styled swing.
