[BLUES] The musical project of J. R. Linaberry is a testament to the enduring power of blues music in its most rustic, basic state: delivered from the gut of one man. Linaberry, who looks like he could easily be a J. Crew model in another life, serves up tales of battling good and evil with his boyish howl. A surprising twist in a genre where gritty vocals convey hard-won experience, the smoothness of his delivery takes power from its unwavering pitch and commanding volume. On tour, he recreates the mesmerizing songs from his new Dark Was the Yearling all by his lonesome, moving between string instruments while controlling beats and percussion with his feet. He comes to Mohawk Place this Tuesday, October 27.
