Music Menu / News Sourvein, Romantica, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings tonight (3/11/11)

Posted By on Fri, Mar 11, 2011 at 8:54 AM

Sourvein Sourvein’s down-tempo metal is chiseled with tank-like riffs, cinematic flourishes, tribal beats, and doom vocals, etching their own sound out of the Black Sabbath foundation. The N.C. combo are on a mini tour prepping for the early summer release of its new recording, Black Fangs. Also on the bill are Jucifer, Hour of 13, and Young & In the Way. $8/$10. Tremont Music Hall. www.tremontmusichall.com. (Samir Shukla)

Romantica Singer/songwriter Ben Kyle writes serene folk and Americana with a hint of Chris Isaac. This is mood-caressing music that’s custom made for twilight quietly fading into the wee hours. Ryan Adams has recorded a song with Romantica and that Americana underbelly binds most of the compositions. With Nick and the Babes. $10. The Evening Muse. www.theeveningmuse.com. (Shukla)

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings Augusta, Ga.-raised Sharon Jones got her start, like a lot of great secular soul singers, in church choirs. She soon immersed herself in the classic R&B of the ’60s and ’70s, but because people were apparently exceptionally stupid in the ’80s, her Stax-flavored music was considered passé. Thankfully, she was rediscovered in the mid-’90s (she’d been a corrections officer at Rykers Island, among other gigs) and has slowly built the very-well-deserved reputation as heiress to the great soul ladies of the past. She’s backed by the excellent Dap Kings, themselves comparable to some of the era’s tightest and funkiest bands such as, say, Wilson Pickett’s Falcons. $29.50-$39.50. McGlohon Theatre. www.blumenthalcenter.org. (John Schacht)
