The southern soul and blues band was born in Birmingham, Alabama but first made their mark in 2006 in New Orleans. Since then, they have developed as a unit, released critically praised recordings, including last year’s Shake that Reputation, and built a following across the country. They return to where it all began for a show Friday night at the Howlin’ Wolf.
The band, which features the scorching Milyn Satterfield Little on vocals, Christian Herring on guitar, Ricky Little on bass, and Dylan Johnson on drums, released their debut recording, Skull Orchard, in 2009. The album scored worldwide airplay. Their 2011 follow-up, Southern Circus, featured guest appearances from well-known musicians including keyboardist Matt Slocum (Susan Tedeschi, Rich Robinson, Col. Bruce Hampton) and trombonist Chad Fisher (Gregg Allman, Jason Isbell, St. Paul & the Broken Bones).
Their tour last year supporting the latest release took the band through twenty states and included incendiary performances at such storied venues as the Rockwood Music Hall in New York City, the Windjammer in Charleston, and the Sidewinder in Austin. A special stop was made at Daytrotter Studios in Davenport, Iowa where the group took time off from the rigors of the road to record five new tracks. The new music is currently featured on their site as well as on Paste magazine.
Deltaphonic opens. Show time is 10 PM. Tickets are available here.
