At the mic of this supergroup is Corey Glover, lead singer with the popular Rock band Living Colour, and that would be enough to raise interest. But wait, as the purveyors of Ginsu knives once implored, there’s more.
The New Stew features a murderer’s row of musical greatness: lap steel/pedal steel player Roosevelt Collier (The Lee Boys); percussionist Yonrico Scott (Derek Trucks Band, Royal Southern Brotherhood); guitarist Dave Yoke (Susan Tedeschi, Dr. John); pianist Matt Slocum (Col. Bruce Hampton’s Aquarium Rescue Unit, Oteil & the Peacemakers); and drummer Jared Stone (Stone’s Stew). It’s a mind-boggling collection of talent and chemistry. Read more about the band in this week’s Sound Advice.
The New Stew plays Live! at the Ludlow Garage Thursday. More info:
