Great Show to invite you to on FEB 26: LAURA BENITEZ and THE HEARTACHE with opening band LORETTA LYNCH LAURA BENITEZ and THE HEARTACHE www.laurabenitezandtheheartache.com... Laura Benitez and the Heartache use the three chord tools of country music to tell the simple, unvarnished truth about love, too much whiskey, and the call of the road. Their songs range from honky-tonk shuffles to rock 'n' roll numbers to sweet old time waltzes, and cover everything from unwed motherhood ("Me or the Baby") to mean drunks ("Don't Wake the Devil"), with a whole lot of heartbreak in between. Their twangy honesty shines through in straightforward arrangements, crystalline harmonies, and spare instrumentation. Beware their catchy hooks and sweet melodies - these stray puppy tunes will follow you home and become your most steadfast companions. LORETTA LYNCH www.lorettalynch.com It's a little bit front porch, a little bit backwoods, it's the art motel on a long stretch of highway... it's Loretta Lynch. "The band's eclectic cover choices balance out an equally freewheeling roster of original material, much of which draws heavily on the group's heart-melting three-part harmonies. Each of the Lynchers takes a turn at songwriting duties, resulting in a twangy mishmash of mandolin-plucky bluegrass, soulful murder ballads, and lush singer/songwriter folk." DATE: Friday February 26, 2016 TIME: Doors open at 7:30 pm - Show starts at 8:00 pm LOCATION: BFUU Hall, 1924 Cedar St. @Bonita Ave., Berkeley, CA 94709 Link for directions: http://bfuu.org/contact/directions I truly appreciate your support of homegrown handmade music, the amazing musicians, and the Arts.

Original painting by Joshua Gallup. Here are the lyrics to Josh's song "They Call Me The Wolf": They call me the wolf...cause that's my name... I'm here to shock you and scare you...cause that's my game If you think you're afraid when you hear my growl Just wait until you hear my blood-curdling howl They call me the Wolf And I'm here to stay You can't hide forever And you can't keep running away Just when you thought everything was gonna be fine And you just started thinking that now's the time Sit back, relax, and take a well-earned rest That's when I show up and put you to the test They call me the Wolf And I'm here to stay You can't hide forever And you can't keep running away I'm the one who got you in this mess Who broke your little bubble of happiness Better be prepared for what'll happen next Your life could be over or ruined at best They call me the Wolf And I'm here to stay You can't hide forever And you can't keep running away I've made you stronger than you ever were before You've got determination down to your core I'm the one who's given you the strength you need I'll give you everything that it takes for you to succeed They call me the Wolf And I'm here to stay You can't hide forever And you can't keep running away See more
