Holmes Brothers bring soulful harmonies
What do you get when you
mix Southern-fried blues, gos
pel fervor, roadhouse rock, pop
and swamp funk and throw it on
a Cajun burner?
You get the Holmes Broth
ers. Spicy, rich and satisfying.
One taste of this will have you
coming back for seconds.
Coming off the release of
their I()th album , "State of
Grace," earlier this year, the
Holmes Brothers bring their
unique brand of music to the
Oregon Zoo on W ednesday,
Aug. 29 at 7 p.m., as part of the
Wells Fargo Summer Concert
Series presented by Fred Meyer.
Brothers Wendell (bass) and
Sherman Holmes(guitar/piano)
and friend Popsy Dixon (drums)
make up the trio.
Because of their unique ap
proach to blues, the Holmes
Brothers have been called the
best interpretive band working
today, covering everyone from
the Beatles to Cheap Trick to
Hank Williams, and collaborat
ing with artists such as Van
Morrison, Peter Gabriel, Willie
Nelson, Roseanne Cash and
Joan Osborne.
This year's "State of Grace"
proves the band isn’t slowing
down despite close to 30 years
together. W ell-chosen covers
abound, as their signature old-
time gospel singing transforms
songs like "I Want You to Want
Me" (C heapTrick),"Bad Moon
R isin g "
(C re e d e n c e
C le a rw a te r R e v iv a l) and
"(W hat's So Funny Bout)
Peace, Love and Understand
ing?" (Nick Lowe by way of
Elvis Costello).
