Words by Tim Lewis.
I just got back from doing my local music radio show on internet only WBKM.org. In honor of Jazzfest, I played a bunch of blues and jazz, then let it rock.
Song before: Now And Then – Pete Townshend

intro
From our small city to the great big world, these are the sounds of Burlington. You likely cannot hear what I’m saying since the fire trucks are blaring sirens as I speak. It’s Jazzfest and the town is filled with music and happy people. This first artist is headlining the block party tomorrow from 5-8 on the stage at the top of Church St. This is Afterall (Glad We Made It) by Kat Wright and the Indomitable Soul Band on WBKM and this is Burlington’s Kind Of Music.
1.) Afterall (Glad We Made It) – Kat Wright & The Indomitable Soul Band 2.) Blue Lunch – Sneakers Jazz Band – Live at White Crow 3.) I’m Just A Lonely So And So – Big Joe Burrell & The Unknown Blues Band
Joe was one of the greats and put tons of music into this town. It’s cool that they just re-released the live in the studio Sneakers band album. Great stuff from some great musicians. They are reuniting for two shows at Club Metronome on Sunday. Great stuff from Kat and the band. Let’s stay with the classic Vt theme.
4.) Killer Bee Bop – Zoot Wilson 5.) Stronger – Belizbeha 6.) Fearless->Benny And The Jets->Fearless – Marco Benevento.
That was from a show Marco played at Radio Bean. Belizbeha used to play their acid jazz all over town. There’s a lot of talent in that band. Let’s keep things jazzy for just a little while longer.
7.) Breathe – Barika 8.) Mon Ange – Francesca Blanchard 9.) Burning Down The House (live) – Joe Adler & The Rangers Of Danger
That was from a fun show and recorded live at Nectar’s. Francesca is playing Light Club Lamp Shop this evening. I love the flow of the Barika song. Well, last week I played the last song from Swale‘s The Next Instead. It’s time to start a new album to play song after song, week after week. This album is not out yet but should be released June 27th when they play The Monkey House. The album is called JV from a band called The Mountain Says No.
10.) Come And Decide – The Mountain Says No 11.) Kill Your Idols – Steve Blair & Andy Hildebrandt 12.) Burn It Down Bernadette – Phil Yates & The Affiliates
Phil and the band are playing the Monkey House tomorrow. Classic VT musicians covering a Slush/Five Seconds Expired song from the Burlington Does Burlington disc. Great song from Mountain and a lot more great songs by Mountain on the way. If you listened to the Zoot song you may have caught the line about enjoying 6-7 daiquiris. A lot of people in Burlington like to have a few drinks and see music and have fun. One of the preferred drinks is the subject of this next set.
13.) Whiskey Man – Arc Iris 14.) Don’t Give That Guy Whiskey – Torpedo Rodeo 15.) A Bottle Of Whiskey Later – Crazyhearse 16.) The Whiskey Always Wins – When Particles Collide
Particles are heading out on the road. Check your local listings and check them out if they come to your town. Killer song by Crazyhearse. I had lots of fun seeing Torpedo when they used to do the basement shows with tons of bands. I loved seeing Iris a couple of weeks back. Hopefully I’ll get to see them again. The Crazyhearse song had Rebecca Rogers on it. So does the next one.
17.) When I’m Drunk – The Dirty Blondes 18.) Summertime – The Velvet Ovum Band 19.) Super Sexy Science Party – Wave of the Future
Great song that was recorded at Nectar’s too. Classic from Peg Tassey MUSIC and her band. I just love this next song.
20.) Say It – Anachronist 21.) Think I’ll Stay – Great Western 22.) The Banks Of Marble – U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders and 30 Vermont musicians
It’s great that Bernie’s message today is the same as it was back when he recorded that. It’s too bad that it still has to be the same. The Western song could have fit in the whiskey set, but works in any set of music. OK, time for a couple left. This next band was fronted by Dan Bolles who writes for Seven Days and has taught me a lot about music in our town over the years.
23.) Highway Girl – The Skamaphrodites 24.) The Blackout – The Static Age
That band spawned two great Burlington musicians. Marie Claire Johnson played keys on that and went on to front Fire The Cannons, and Bobby Hackney Jr. plays drums on that song and now sings for the mighty ROUGH FRANCIS. Well, I hope you enjoyed checking out the music of our town. Let’s do it again next week, shall we?
