Tonight's showcase at the Constellation Room is a little bit of country with the likes of The Curly Wolf and Wicklow Atwater, while Vinnie and The Hooligans provide a mighty rootsy Americana sound as the headliner for the evening. But we've always had a crush on one man band and local boy Dano Forte. Dano Forte's Juke Joint Freakshow has been a clever and fitting title for a musician whose style of music is still on the margins of public taste. This harmonica-drums-guitar player is one of the best in the land, playing up the best rhythm and blues tunes for the savage freak in you. And for those who aren't familiar will be converted into believers in no time.
