BEST OF '09: Bad Rabbits make their live debut at The Red Room @ Cafe 939

January 23 was the date and Bad Rabbits were opening the show at 8pm opening for Fly Upright Kite and Ellis Ashbrook. Although it was their first official show, people obviously knew about these guys. (many members were previously in the popular local band Eclectic Collective) The room was nearly at capacity as soon as we opened doors, and the short set that followed left the audience wanting more. Bad Rabbits brought the house down and made for a very tough act to follow.

The band was recently nominated for the 2009 Boston Music Awards 'Best New Act of the Year' and put on one of the best performances that I witnessed that night. The Boston Globe said of the performance "The boisterous, genre-bending Bad Rabbits seamlessly blended Prince-style, falsetto-fueled funk and old-school R&B, and made some of the best party music of the night."

If you don't know these guys definitely check them out! Let's hope we can get them back at The Red Room @ Cafe 939 in 2010.

BEST OF '09: Owl City, from The Red Room @ Cafe 939 to the House of Blues

Back on May 5, 2009 The Red Room @ Cafe 939 was proud to host an up and coming artist by the name of Owl City. We knew word was growing when the show sold out days in advance and the phone calls didn't stop. The show was a wild success and it was no surprise that on Owl City's next stop through Boston they moved to the Paradise Rock Club. This show also sold out and now, less than a year after the show at The Red Room, Owl City will be playing the House of Blues in April of next year. Today Owl City sits at Number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 4 on iTunes singles with "Fireflies". It's one of those great moments where we can say, "remember when Owl City played at our 200-person room"

Here's an audience clip of "Hello Seattle" from his stop at The Red Room, I don't think this person could have been any closer without being on stage:

JUST ANNOUNCED: 2/12 and 2/13 Barefoot Truth

With their new album Threads coming out February 16, 2010 Barefoot Truth is ready to bring the jams back to The Red Room @ Cafe 939. Straight from their website "The concept behind Barefoot Truth's new album Threads is nothing less than universal consciousness. How is that for a reality grabber? As we emerge from the wreckage of unbridled greed in America, this album gives some very intriguing methods by which to re-set our value meters. In addition to some intelligent views on the state of humankind, Barefoot Truth has produced another rocking, reggae infused album titled Threads. This seamless creation fuses together and expands upon the ideals of these multi-talented musicians... Will Evans on drums and lead vocals, Andy Wrba on upright bass, Jay Driscoll on weissenborn slide guitar, Garrett Duffy on harmonica, and John Waynelovich on piano. Building on the themes and success of their previous album, Walk Softly, this cohesive effort takes a strong environmental stand and offers warnings along with celebrations."

Barefoot has previously played the room with Pete Francis of Dispatch and Jer Coons. Tickets for these shows are $15/GA and $12/Students. On-sale information will follow soon.

Check out Barefoot's "Roll If You Fall" Live from Higher Ground in VT

1/28/10 Matt Hires/Jason Castro/Caitlin Crosby

On January 28th, Matt Hires brings his State Lines tour to The Red Room @ Cafe 939 supported by Jason Castro and Caitlin Crosby. Hires previously played the room this past fall with Tyrone Wells. "When you listen to Matt Hires, what comes across is the sound of an artist self-assured, authentic, and at ease with being completely and utterly himself. On his debut F-Stop/ Atlantic release, Take Us To The Start, the 23-year-old Florida native fuses the intimacy of the great singer/songwriters with indelible pop/rock hooks and propulsive rhythms. The result is a mesmerizing collection of songs that are immediately enchanting, while becoming more deeply rewarding with each listen."



Jason Castro first broke into the homes of America after coming in fourth place on the 2008 season of American Idol. Castro became the first contestant on the show to play an instrument on during the competition. His rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" resulted in the sale of Jeff Buckley's version reaching No 1 on iTunes digital downloads the following week. Jason is preparing to release his debut album and you are sure to hear some of the new tunes.




Also appearing is Caitlin Crosby. Caitlin last stopped in Boston as part of the Crosby, Loggins, and Nash tour featuring Red Room Alum Jay Nash. Caitlin is a featured songwriter for the worldwide Levi Jeans ad campaign and has written and recorded with Babyface, Robin Thicke, Brian Wilson, Josh Hoge and many more.



Tickets for this show are $10/GA and $8/Student. Tickets are on-sale now by clicking HERE or by visiting the Berklee Performance Center Box Office Mon-Sat 10am - 6pm
