MISS TESS w/ BOULDER ACOUSTIC SOCIETY JAZZ/ AMERICANA/ BLUES $10 @ the Door Doors @ 9PM Show @ 10PM Miss Tess Darling, oh Darling, the fifth release from Miss Tess, shows the performing artist and songwriter transcending the retro-label often appended to her music in the past. Although the music maintains a certain feeling of nostalgia, upon a few listens one will find unique personality and a fresh approach in these original compositions. Critics have had a hard time assigning Tess’s music to a specific genre; in 2008 she won a Boston Music Award for "Outstanding Folk Artist of the Year", yet in 2009 she received a nomination for "Best Jazz Act". Miss Tess & The Bon Ton Parade not only played in most venues in Boston, but are also hardened road warriers who have found homes in all types of venues ranging from upscale jazz clubs, roots music festivals, to local dive bars. Boulder Acoustic Society Boulder Acoustic Society. As their name implies, this young quartet specializes in all things acoustic: fiddles, ukuleles, accordions, upright basses. What you might not glean from their name, however, is that these guys tackle the traditions with the gusto of a group of rabble-rousing punks. It’s grit meets grace, Colorado-style. B.A.S.'s music is intense and exciting for listeners, with something new and interesting at every turn. The energy that B.A.S. brings to a stage can tip a festival into overdrive or mesmerize a club audience as they dance into the wee hours. All of this comes from four guys who wear vintage clothes, savor small batch bourbon and rock the ukulele.
