Little Howlin Wolf (blues)+ Twig Harper + Max Eisenberg + Jason Willett (electronics and mayhem all) ++ Trio: Drury + Reynolds + Wooley

James Pobeiga aka Little Howlin Wolf, Shadow Drifter, Buccaneer Bob, Deacon Blue, etc...returns to Baltimore, the place where he laid down the tracks for the visionary classic LP "BRAVE NU WORLD." Blasted, purposefully underground, and adamnantly original, Wolf's style results in some seriously messed-up music. This night he performs solo and with his Baltimore "house band" of Twig Harper, Max Eisenberg and Jason Willett.
