Webb Wilder at The Spot on Kirk
The Spot on Kirk 22 Kirk Avenue SW, Roanoke, Virginia 24011
Before there were Kings of Leon, Keys of Black or Whites of Jack in Nashville, there was Webb Wilder. Rock ānā roll, from Nashville. Formed from Mississippi mud, tinged with British mod. Bruised by the blues. Baptized by Buck and Chuck. Psychiatric psycho-rootsy. Sizzling, glistening, uneasy listening. Wilder's new album "Mississippi Moderne" holds a marvelous encapsulation of things right and righteous, wistful yet wild, strange at times but always strong. Garage rock and bluster blues. Fuzz-tone and fury, and, in many ways, a full and unbroken circle back to the days when Webb Wilder was a boy possessed of the mind of a full-grown man, listening to The Kinks and The Move, an Anglophile in Mississippi. If you couldn't follow, just come listen. || TICKETS: http://www.thespotonkirk.org/event/webb-wilder/
