Genesis P-Orridge of the proto-industrial group Psychic TV once made the controversial statement that “all music is innately psychedelic.” Whether you agree with him or not, it can certainly be said that some types of music are just more focused on consciousness expansion than others. Rochester’s Neuroceptor creates unabashedly psychedelic music utilizing both electronic tools, as well as more traditional “organic” instruments. Favoring dubby downtempo grooves and various ethnic influences, Neuroceptor paints explosively colorful, lavishly textured soundscapes reminiscent of popular EDM acts like Shpongle. Harmony Flo also bring its brand of dub-psy trance to the bill.
Minnesota based singer-songwriter Mary Cutrufello has spent over 20 years in the music business. This Yale-educated country crooner’s forceful approach to Americana has garnered her respect throughout the genre and landed her spots playing with a list of legendary longhorns such as Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Billy Joe Shaver. She’s been on the Tonight Show and toured with The Allman Brothers, Susan Tudeschi, and Gov’t Mule. Although she is considered a honky-tonk wonder woman of sorts, it is her ability to rock that sets her apart. Cutrufello has said that “rock and roll is where I’m from, and as much as I love country, I have to give that part of me its voice too.” Well, thank God for that, because the resulting dialogue is rather divine.
Nick Young grew up during the grunge era but cites a connection with alternative country bands like Uncle Tupelo as creating a foundation for his interest in picking up the guitar. Young’s father introduced him to the group and that set the wheels in motion for a self-described shy kid to front a power-pop/alt-country outfit (Burning Daylight) and eventually throw his hat into the acoustic singer-songwriter ring. Now as a solo performer, Young has toured the lower forty eight with pal Chris Trapper (formerly of The Push Stars) and released a twang-infused debut album “Truth Is.” Young will make a hometown tour stop at Abilene with a CD release party for his latest “South Lima.” Brian Ayers opens.
