On Friday, September 15th, Murder Murder will be officially releasing their third full-length album, Wicked Lines & Veins, at the Townehouse Tavern. The band is back and darker than ever for their third release, with 11 brand new original songs soaked in tension, storytelling and tragedy, and put together by an eclectic mix of bluegrass instruments playing with reckless abandon. Here are a couple pieces of advanced press: "With this record, Murder Murder manages to somehow sound like the past and the future at the same time... the real deal. They build a musical tension as heavy as the playing itself... This record makes me want to commit a crime just because I now have the perfect soundtrack for being on the lam." - Jonathan Torrens (J-Roc) "It’s surprising how far Murder Murder have come with Wicked Lines and Veins. They’ve blown the dust off a genre and taken the first few layers of skin too. Future classics." - Alex Cook, The East Magazine Check out the first single from the album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvgLVIChRBQ Murder Murder will be joined by friends and special guests: Manslaughter is an all-female, experimental-outlaw supergroup based out of Toronto.

Vest was born in 1943, and grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, United States. He learned to a play on a used piano his grandmother had delivered to their house in West End, a few blocks away from Ensley's Tuxedo Junction. He played his first paying gig at the age of 14. He has worked professionally as a pianist from the age of 15, in 1957. In the 1960s Vest played seven nights a week at Pappy's Club with Jerry Woodard and The Esquires. On New Year's Day 1962 he opened for Roy Orbison. He backed Big Joe Turner in the 1960s and later toured with Jimmy T99 Nelson, Floyd Dixon, and Lavelle White, as well as the rockabilly group Bill Black's Combo. David Vest was also the co-leader of the Paul deLay Band. The Whiskey River Blues Band has been dedicated to preserving the legacy of the great Blues artists, from Muddy Waters and Sonny Boy Williamson to SRV and Jimmy Reed… from the Yardbirds and Cream to Allmans and Johnny Winter… through several albums of their own… for 31 years. Tommy Fyfe and the Whiskey River Blues Band stands as Sudbury’s longest running blues act… easily going between revivalist and adventurous… the band is all about fun and great music. They want you to dance. They want you to love the blues. Tom, Steve, Pete and Paul are hyped about sharing the stage with David Vest tonight. All Aboard!
