Get A Full Helping of Pickled Okra at Gypsy This Saturday, January 14th

On Saturday, January 14th, starting at 7p, local band Pickled Okra will entertain their fans, and soon-to-be fans, at The Gypsy café, as they celebrate the release of their new CD, called ‘Sounds Like Chicken.’  The CD will be given out free to all ticket buyers.  Purchase yours today for $12 in advance (on Brown Paper Tickets) and $15 at the door (ages 18 and under get in free.)

The show also features The Weavils, providing a complete evening of ‘un-traditional’ bluegrass.  The Weavils offer not only bluegrass, but Western Swing, Cajun, ‘Celt-grass’, Hawaiian – and they may even perform a rendidtion of a song made famous by Norah Jones.

With the new CD, Pickled Okra has crafted 12 original songs, performed and written by members of the band.  Born out of a mutual love of stories and music from eras past, Pickled Okra regularly performs music full of tastes from old-time fiddle tunes, jazzy delta blues, classic bluegrass, pop, rock, reggae and funk.

The band features Todd Gray, a seasoned musician with over 30 years of experience writing, recording and gigging; Tony Markey, a transplant from the theater world with comic tendancies matched to his musical prowess on the banjo; and Paisley Gray, a forceful promoter and talented bass player.

Come out and see Pickled Okra, and The Weavils, on Saturday, January 14th, for old-fashioned, family fun set to a soundtrack that ‘Sounds Like Chicken.’
