Big Lazy and Mamie Minch — two underground bands from the Brooklyn Barbés scene —[nbsp] share a vibe if not a genre. Big Lazy is completely instrumental, self-described as “crime jazz [&] highway twang”, while Mamie is an acoustic blues crooner, singer-songwriter, and dogged feminist. But they’re both slightly punk, very DIY, and fiercely independent — the atmosphere is retro; a bit old-fashioned in a noble sort of way; the music has one foot in the present and the other in the past, sometime back before people sat around all day staring at smartphones.

[nbsp]

And the two bands are friends, which makes this double-bill a sweet and intimate occasion for them both to share some songs with you from their respective songbooks — music from across the American landscape of blues [&] jazz [&] twang, from inside the crowded bellies of cities and out on the loneliest of country roads.

Each band will play a full set — their first times back in the Valley since their performances in the Grove Stage at Barbès in the Woods.
