The Gories are coming! The Gories are coming! I first encountered the gigantic and gigantically cool Mick Collins when his band the Dirtbombs opened for the Detroit Cobras at the Beachland Ballroom. The Dirtbombs blew that place up and made the Detroit Cobras seem flaccid in comparison. Now Mick Collins is back together with his old friends in the Gories, and they’ll be playing the Beachland on November 27.

Trampled by Turtles and the Infamous Stringdusters are coming to Cleveland.

The Beachland Ballroom will become string-band-a-topia this Saturday, November 6, when Trampled by Turtles and the Infamous Stringdusters descend for the night (the show will be a part of a stringband weekend to which the Beachland is offering special package deals that include a Friday night show from Cornmeal and Railroad Earth). These bands are like two sides of the same coin. The Infamous Stringdusters offer up a polished stringband sound in the tradition of classic Grand Ole Opry mixed with the longform solo proclivities of the jam band genre (NTSIB normally detests noodling, but when said noodling is done on banjo, fiddle, mandolin and steel guitar, somehow it doesn’t seem so bad). Trampled by Turtles is the faster, more immediate, slightly more ragged cousin to the Stringdusters’ sound – it’s stringband music with a rock ‘n’ roll heart. (You’ve likely heard, and loved, their song “Wait So Long”.)

We’re really looking forward to this show, and the videos below should show you why.

All this to say, if you don’t know them, they’re good. You should go see them.
