Guy Smiley’s Blues Exchange
|
Though Nashville's Guy Smiley's Blues Exchange take influences from across the genre map, it's a smooth ride (unlike some bands who try to mesh to many styles together). The band can segue from Fabulous Flames-styled funk, to explosive, creative Fusion to laid-back Hip Hop, and you're never left wondering if it's the same band from song to song. That cohesion, plus some talented musicians, is what makes the group's self-titled debut such a treat. Though they've been compared to like-minded acts like Groove Collective, Phish and Medeski, Martin and Wood, Guy Smiley's the only name you'll remember after listening or seeing them live (check their Web site, www.gsbe.com, for further info on the band).
At the BarrelHouse with Sballo on Friday.
