...for 47UMa (version 3)....in 2004 1st fab quote in the Metro Times March, 2004 "It’d be right to say that 47 UMa’s sound is all over the map. Founding members Gail Baker and Mike Friedman cut their teeth on Jamaican ska with the Skanking Voodoo Dolls. Vocalist and mandolin player Maggie McCabe’s known around town for preaching soulful explorations of American folk and blues with her other band, Maggie’s Farm. Percussionist Mahindi Masai’s has a thing for deep-pocket rhythms of African world-beat. Clarence Williams reshapes the canon of American lead guitar by borrowing from ax-wielding stylists of the last 40 years. And new addition Maureen Honore’s 3 1/2 octave range simply sets the harmonies afire. It’s reggae and ska, soca and samba, Africa and New Orleans, and a hint of classic rock ’n’ roll. It’s all over the place. But the thread that binds this mess of influences is the band’s love of hard grooving dance floor faves - mostly based in spirited reggae and tangential worldbeat breakdowns. Somehow they sidestep the geyser of cheese that normally makes such genre blends unbearable to create fusions that are exciting, vibrant and goddamn catchy." Thanks Nate Cavalieri! 2nd Live radio appearance -Thanks WJR and Mitch Albom 1st appearances at; Cadieux Cafe, Embers, Hockeytown Cafe, Outer Limits, Smalls, Tenny Street Roadhouse, Trinity House Theatre, Whiskey in the Jar 3rd year in a row to be Nominated for the Detroit Music Awards SEVEN Nominations for 2004 - third year in a row for Outstanding World Beat Band - Thanks DMA! 1st appearance at; Blues for Freedom Benefit, Linda Lexy's Basement Jamz Series 2nd Festival appearances at; the Hamtramck Blowout, Berkley Art fair & the Farmington Founders Fest |
