A. Tom Collins, Miss America, and The Blue Rider at Hi-Dive
A. Tom Collins makes late-night barroom jazz with a punk-rock edge. Just because the band is fronted by former Machine Gun Blues singer/performance artist Aaron Collins, don’t expect the same kind of lunatic rock ’n’ roll theater that made that group infamous. Here the focus is on the music, which mashes classic R&B, blues, and jazz together with straight-ahead rock and more than a dash of Tom Waits. The results exude an inebriated, old-school vibe that may not be for everyone but should soundtrack your next heartbroken journey to the bottom of a bottle just fine.
