Mike Farris’ resume includes a stint as the singer for Double Trouble and that honor alone should perk up blues fans’ ears as he brings his energetic live show to Antone’s tonight. Prior to the aforementioned shift, Harris made his name as the vocalist for Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies -- the band released three albums during the 90’s, including a self-titled debut full-length on Atlantic Records. Lately, Harris has been showcasing his versatility with The Roseland Rhythm Revue, churning out a stirring brand of Americana that touches upon decades of soul, gospel, and blues.

Despite the fact that this record is a debut, none of these guys are first-timers. Singer, songwriter and guitarist David Williams has been around just about every block there is musically; he's performed with Texas punk outfit Vomit Pigs, post-punked with Self Is On the Throne, and even made his way through NYC's underground hip-hop scene with the Jungle Brothers. Now settled in Austin with his current bandmates, Williams finds himself nestled in a niche somewhere between post-punk and something like classic rock (think: Pavement).
