I listen to everything...

This band is still great. The crowd was great and the music was superb! And did I mention we were on a boat!

Poor first set, but second set and cruise and views of Manhattan were excellent. Waterfalls were disappointing.

Trip was cool. Had a good time. It would be cool to have the music at a lower volume on the back deck for anyone who wants to hang out and just talk. Sometimes you need a break from the music.

More Details About This Event:

Squirrel Nut Zippers features original and founding members Katherine Whalen, Jimbo Mathis, Chris Phillips, Je Widenhouse and Stuart Cole. The band will be performing material from their entire catalogue.

The band still rejoices at the difficulty people have pigeonholing their unmistakable sound. A perpetually evolving, hybrid-stew of Southern roots traditions, blues and jazz, the Zippers were aptly tagged "'30s punk" by one critic. They have always flirted with a muse most concerned with ghosts, love gone wrong, fever-dreams and stories unearthed from days past. Centered around the beguiling vocals of Katherine Whalen and the anachronistic windup toy that is Jimbo Mathis, the Zippers promise to both charm and confound.
