Wednesday, April 23rd -

Pnuma Trio (Loft) from 9pm - 1:30am, $12.00 cover
Try this story on for size: three upstarts in Memphis use their classical and jazz training to hammer out beat-driven compositions encompassing the funkiness of the jam scene and the mind-bending progressions of electronica. The young bucks known as Pnuma Trio instantly find themselves in high demand, playing nearly two hundred dates in 2006 alone. The trio bangs out scene-stealing festival plays at Langerado and Camp Bisco, gets tapped to provide support for such artists as Buckethead, The Disco Biscuits, and Michael Franti and Spearhead, and fills up clubs and small theatres that most bands reach only after years of toil. Just for style points, they finish up the year with a barn-storming, sold-out tour of Japan including a massive set at the world-famous Nagisa Festival.

Fans throughout the western U.S. have purchased thousands of copies of Sol’ Jibe’s first two albums, On Your Feet and Marinero, and sales of the band’s new EP New Day are quickly surpassing previous efforts. New Day is also getting played extensively on dozens of college and Internet radio stations like AccuRadio.com and Live365.com, as well as XM Satellite Radio. Voted Reno’s best band from 2005-2007 by readers of the Reno Gazette-Journal and 2006-2007 by the Reno News & Review.
Friday, April 25th -
Sam Kininger with Drew de Four (CityBar) from 9pm - 12am, $10 cover
A saxophone legend, Berklee alum, and all-around funk genius, Sam Kininger is building his fan-base and repertoire simultaneously at clubs across the country. Kininger has been in legendary funk/soul groups since the beginning, including, but not limited to Lettuce, Soulive and the Brotherhood of Groove. He has also performed with larger pop acts including Dave Matthews and Wyclef Jean.
As a solo artist Sam Kininger has developed a distinctive, organic sound on the saxophone that is strongly expressive. He consistently demonstrates his technical dexterity and rhythmic precision while maintaining an honest and innovative exploration of musical improvisation.
U-Melt (Banquet Room) from 9pm - 12am
Although U-Melt can fall into the jamband genre, to sum them up so succinctly oversimplifies their complexity. By design, U-Melt transcends the jamband label. What it does is unify all these bands with different styles into a scene based around one thing: improvisation, says Salzer. As Lasher explains, to say a band is a jamband doesn’t really describe the sound. I think it describes a philosophy about performance rather than a sound, and it’s definitely a philosophy to which we subscribe. After parsing through the many various ways to describe U-Melt’s sound and vision, Lasher sums it up best, There’s jambands that are rock bands, jambands that are jazz bands, jambands that are funk bands, jambands that are trance bands, . . . and we’re none of those, but then again, at times we’re all of those.
