Will Downing, ZZ Top and Krown tonight (06/02/11)

Posted By on Thu, Jun 2, 2011 at 1:14 PM

WILL DOWNING: If you ever wanted a record deal, going to the same Brooklyn high school as music industry heavy hitters Clive Davis and Motown's Kedar Massenburg never hurts. But Will Downing made his own name in the business from working with the likes of Anita Baker, Billy Ocean and Kool & The Gang before seeing solo success. Since then, he's overcome a couple of major hurdles to continue to crank out the kind of music his fans have come to expect from him. $45-$65. Knight Theater. www.blumenthalarts.org. (Mike McCray)

ZZ TOP: So what the hell do you need to know about ZZ Top? The trio's Texas blues-rock-boogie has fed a couple of generations of rockers, the band released its debut in 1970, and even though its greatest hits record came out 20 years ago, contemporary digitized kids can sing along with the old cats with nary a care about outmoded tunes. Grab the aforementioned youngsters, plop down on the grass underneath the skyscraper lights and by all means get up and dance to the "Tube Snake Boogie." $25-$110. Time Warner Cable Uptown Amphitheatre. www.livenation.com. (Shukla)

JOE KROWN TRIO: The veteran trio of New Orleans music, Krown (Hammond B-3), Walter "Wolfman" Washington (guitar & vocals) and Russell Batiste (drums and background vocals), lay down bayou-bred jazz, funk and blues with utmost ease. Individually, their resumes are expansive, while they've been grooving together for about five years where their seasoned chops converge into bopping interplay. $12-$15. Double Door Inn. www.doubledoorinn.com. (Shukla)

Primus, 500 Miles to Memphis hit the Q.C. tonight (6/1/2011)

Posted By on Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 10:50 AM

500 MILES TO MEMPHIS Feeling at home in a honky-tonk, punk fest or an acoustic cubby hole, Ohio's 500 Miles to Memphis twirls a mighty mix of country, punk and rockabilly. Vocalist/guitarist Ryan Malott's leads the combo down rollicking byways, into gritty rock pubs, as well as easing into fiddle-caressed balladry. They're a top-notch live outfit, to boot. RIYL: Jason and the Scorchers, Rev. Horton Heat. Also on the bill are Evelynn Rose and Leadville Social Club. $6. Snug Harbor. www.snugrock.com. (Samir Shukla)

PRIMUS The original lineup of Primus has gotten back together, not only for a tour run, but a new album, too. Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde are joined by original drummer Jay Lane in a show that I would imagine might feature some new songs from the band's upcoming album, Green Naugahyde. I'd also expect some classics from "Tommy the Cat" to, perhaps, a Fisherman's Chronicle. With The Dead Kenny G's. $46.70. The Fillmore Charlotte. www.livenation.com. (Jeff Hahne)
