Bain Mattox will be playing WorkPlay this evening. (big thanks to helluva for reminding me of such). This is the Birmingham CD release party for his new album “Prizefighter”.
Bain is the front man of what has become a bit of a revolving back up band. Their support of his music (which is mainly written for single instrument accompaniment) brings ROCK to an artist otherwise categorized as a “singer/songwriter”.
Mattox uses instruments such as the accordion, mandolin, banjo, and oddly tuned guitars to break the monotony of the everyday crap you hear on the radio.
Five Star Iris will be the supporting act, and the show gets started around 8.
Hopefully I’ll be able to make it as I completely forgot about the show :-/
