Denmark’s Mames Babegenush Bring “COVID Can’t Keep Klezmer Down” Tour to DC

Marrying their strong Scandinavian roots and elements of jazz with the vibrant dance music and klezmer traditions of eastern Europe, Denmark’s Mames Babegenush bring their “COVID Can’t Keep Klezmer Down” Tour to Washington D.C’s Bossa Bistro lounge on July 27th. 

The COVID-19 pandemic led to the cancellation of two US tours in 2020-21, but venue reopenings in 2022 and excited arts presenters and audiophiles made coming back this summer an inevitability. The “COVID Can’t Keep Klezmer Down” Tour tour sees the band bringing with them songs from their sixth studio album which was written and recorded during the pandemic and is due out later this year.

From the contemplative ambiance of Nordic snowscapes to the lively weddings of Romania, the music of Mames Babegenush exudes a sense of both poignant melancholy and irresistibly danceable exuberance.

Check out Mames Babegenush’s latest single, “Elvermose Cocek” below, and find this and more great music on the Alchemical Records Multigenre Mixture playlist on Spotify.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
