...Only the Imposter
An unusually high number of notable New Haven musicians indulge side projects; plus other stuff.

| Or, if you're around on Thursday evening bit don't feel up for the heavy grooves, and would maybe prefer something a little simpler, a little more trad, maybe something Celtically-infused, maybe something involving Bill Collins from the Swaggerts -- Oh, man; Bill Collins is playing at Rudy's that night. Known )in New Haven and in parts much further away) for his work in rockabily, punk and trad rock modes, he's playing out a bit as a solo performer -- a role in which he accentuates the rollicking Irish folk flaveos that in astude listener can discern from the Swaggerts' musc, even. Last time he played a gig like this at Rudy's was a real lesson in how folk music can transcend its "tame" associations. Accomapnied by banjoist/mandolinist Gary "Chops" MacConnie (as he well be again), Collins plated a long set of songs -- some from this century, some older than the hills -- and strummed progressively harder until the assmebled crowd of hipsters and scenesters were stomping their feet, shaking their fists, and shouting things like "ahrrr." In other words, it'll be a good chance to see another side of the Bill Collins we all know. And also to, y'know, knock back a few. |
