SIDECAR SOCIAL CLUB From the main stage of Raleigh’s prestigious Artsplosure in May 2012 to back-to-back annual performances in Dizzy Gillespie’s hometown of Cheraw at the South Carolina Jazz Festival, the five-member amalgam known as Sidecar Social Club has quickly developed a loyal and tenacious fan base.
Lisa Veronica Wood – vocals J. Clarence Crew, Jr. – keyboards Aaron Bittikofer – bass Ed Butler – drums F.O. Finch – sax facebook.com/sidecarsocialclub info@sidecarsocialclub.com
Diverse of style and accomplished by their own rights, musicians J. Clarence Crew Jr., Aaron Bittikofer, Edward Theolandus Butler and F.O Finch III have been working staples in the Triangle’s jazz and world music scene for more than a decade. While their careers have overlapped throughout the years, Sidecar Social Club brings them together for the love of an old time sound with an updated, stylized twist. With the addition of vocalist Lisa Veronica Wood, and a focus on themes of the unrequited, ruthless and raunchy women of song, they have a story to tell. If you’ll just buy them a drink.... Regular monthly gigs at Raleigh’s Humble Pie, C-Grace, and the NC Museum of Art for the past two years have given the band a chance to subtly hone their interpretations of tunes from the Great American Songbook. The repertoire is peppered with a growing number of originals and reimagined contemporary fare by artists such as Cake, Danny Elfman, and Queens of the Stoneage.

BIOGRAPHY Take a blustery brass lineup, layer it over a rhythm section led by a stride-piano virtuoso in the Fats Waller vein, and tie the whole thing together with a one-of-theboys frontwoman with a voice from another era, and you have the Hot Sardines. (We haven’t even told you about the tap dancer yet.) In a short time, the Hot Sardines have gone from their first gig – at a coffee shop on the last Q train stop in Queens – to selling out Joe’s Pub five times in as many months, headlining at Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night Swing, and opening for the Bad Plus, Lulu Gainsbourg and French gypsy-jazz artist Zaz. Through it all they’ve become regulars at the Shanghai Mermaid speakeasy and turned The Standard, where they play regularly, into their own “saloon in the sky” (The Wall Street Journal) – complete with tap dancing on the bar – honing a live persona that’s been called “unforgettably wild” and “consistently electrifying” (Popmatters). The Sardine sound – wartime Paris via New Orleans, or the other way around – is steeped in hot jazz, salty stride piano, and the kind of music Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Waller used to make: straightup, foot-stomping jazz. (Literally – the band includes a tap dancer whose feet count as two members of the rhythm section). They manage to invoke the sounds of a near-century ago and stay resolutely in step with the current age. And while their roots run deep into jazz, that most American of genres, they’re intertwined with French influences via their singer, who was born and raised in Paris (and writes songs in both languages).
The band was born when said Parisian (“Miz Elizabeth” Bougerol) met a stride piano player (bandleader Evan “Bibs” Palazzo) at a jam session they found on Craigslist. Above a noodle shop on Manhattan’s 49th Street, they discovered a mutual love for songs from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s that no-one really plays anymore. Or if they play them, “they handle them with kid gloves, like pieces in a museum,” says Evan, underscoring a point the pair can’t stress enough: “This music isn’t historical artifact. It’s a living, breathing, always-evolving thing.” Members of the Sardines collective have worked with a genre-hopping roster that includes Rufus Wainwright, Sufjan Stevens, Lauren Ambrose, Sondre Lerche, Vetiver, Of Montreal, Nicholas Payton, Kurt Elling, Branford Marsalis, the New York and Jerusalem Philharmonics, Slavic Soul Party and the Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra.

Fund-raising progress Major Gifts
As a reminder…
More than 25 generous individuals and foundations have chosen to make a major commitment of $25,000 or more to the Gregg Museum Campaign. Several have chosen to name spaces in the new Gregg and will be recognized with permanent donor plaques once the museum is complete. All of these visionary supporters believe in the future Gregg Museum of Art & Design, and we thank them for their support!
All pledges to the Gregg Museum Campaign may be paid over a period of up to five years from the date of the original commitment. The Founding Friends program is a terrific option for those who wish to support the campaign but cannot commit to a major gift at this time.
Nearly 90 individuals, couples and businesses have joined the Founding Friends of the Gregg Museum Campaign
Visit the Gregg Museum Campaign website at newgregg.ncsu.edu to see design renderings, to keep up with our fund-raising progress, to read about our donors, and to learn more about the Gregg Museum of Art & Design and its 30,000+ item collection!
The campaign’s Founding Friends program recognizes donors of $5,000+. Our goal is to recruit 200 Founding Friends and raise $1 million, nearly a quarter of our total private fund-raising goal. Founding Friends gifts (like all gifts to the campaign) may be paid over five years; therefore, you may contribute $1,000 each year for five years. Founding Friends will be acknowledged permanently on a comprehensive plaque that will be displayed prominently in the future museum. Together, the community can build the new Gregg!

DAKHABRAKHA Subversive Ukrainian Punk-Folk
“Edgy, eerie harmony vocals with concertina, cello and percussion work, in an exhilarating set that seemed to sum up their country’s chaos and hope. They veered from moody and atmospheric passages to a furious, exuberant percussive finale in which they waved Ukrainian flags, looking bemused at the delighted reaction they had caused.” – Tbe Guardian, on DakhaBrakha’s WOMAD performance “The Ukraine’s DahkaBrakha turn the dissonant, ethereal drones of Eastern European folk music into a Björkian drum-punk spectacle.”

YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart SEPTEMBER 25 OCTOBER 5 Titmus Theatre
The eccentric Sycamore family is presided over by Grandpa Vanderhof, a former businessman who has turned his back on commerce to enjoy life. With more time than money, this family is happily surviving the Great Depression by embracing their individuality, forming relationships and exploring their hidden talents rather than devoting their lives to the pursuit of wealth and status.

This exceptionally graceful adaptation of the Jules Verne classic is both wise and funfilled. Phileas Fogg, the mysterious and brilliant man of mathematics and scientific reason, wagers his considerable fortune that the world can be circumnavigated in 80 days. Will Fogg and his wiley valet Passepartout complete the journey or be foiled by bandits, buffalo, storms and Scotland Yard? Aboard trains, steamships and elephants, he learns about the heart, himself and a world much bigger than he anticipated.
