ELLEN PIERONI & THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SOUL and ELI FLYNN TRIO stop at Flour CIty Station on Friday December 6th! - Pieroni is a seasoned sax player, multi-instrumentalist, music educator + promoter. She has been an active member of the regional music scene, formerly playing and touring with projects such as Folkfaces and Buffalo Afrobeat Orchestra. The Encyclopedia of Soul (EoS) is Pieronis newest original music endeavor. - Audiences are well acquainted with Eli Flynn as a current member of the bands Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad, Upward Groove, and The Able Bodies, and on the stylistically diverse Running With Scissors his debut solo album theres never a dull moment. Easier demonstrates Flynns prowess as a rock vocalist as he snarls his way through the melody with a limber range and soulful swagger that recalls the aplomb of Gavin DeGraw on his 2003 breakthrough album Chariot Every Word Is a Mountain borrows from The Able Bodies playbook of danceable 90s pop that grooves, but mixed metaphors about my love in a sling and broken logic hanging from a silver chair distract from the songs natural charms. Flynns words regain focus on the very next track. There was a time in the beginning when devotion kept me spinning but that time is past, he sings with calm wisdom on Hell in a Handbasket. Slide guitar and a Fender Rhodes organ sound meld over a loping tempo that flows like a lazy river: Have you ever met your demons, took their advice without reason? Well I have. Throughout the record, occasional wisps of soul and funk refresh the natural charm of Flynns charismatic tunes. The music was entrusted to sound engineers Lincoln All and Aaron Lipp, whose supervision of mixing and mastering, respectively, gives the album its polish. 7pm Doors 8pm Music$10 Advanced$15 Day of Show 21+ with a valid ID
