Vintage Trouble at Jazz Fest 2015

Vintage Trouble have only been playing together since 2010, but you’d guess more like 1960. Consisting of Ty Taylor (the suit-shredding front man), Nalle Colt, Rick Dill, and Richard Danielson, they play…umm… never mind. We’ve raved about their “apartness” in the past, and they fit precisely (we love irony) into the hard to categorize, visual/musical perfection that we’re always prowling for. The energy, as always, was crazy–Ty blew the back out of his supremely well tailored blue suit, leaping around in the New Orleans heat like he was on fire, and aside from a hip hop-style crotch check (woo woo), kept right on going. They have only one album out so far, The Bomb Shelter Sessions, and it’s worth a careful listen, but if you also have a chance to check them out live, don’t miss it.
