SUMMARY:Emery Villains Live @ The Melon Ball
DESCRIPTION:Emery Villains formed in 2019 by Scott Holderby (lead vocals and guitar) with Rhoda Jean Steen (vocals and guitar). The Carolina Drifters from the 50’s\, featuring Rhoda and her brothers Paul and Clarence were the backup band for the Black Jack Wayne Show on channel 2\, backing Johnny Cash\, Buck Owens and others. Rhoda Jean Steen’s presence serves as a direct link to the roots of rockabilly and the Carolina Drifters’ contributions to the genre. Her participation with Emery Villains is a beautiful blend of past and present\, ensuring the music’s legacy continues. \nScott looked over to his guitar player Danny White (vocals and lead guitar) from Mordred to do the finger picking. Scott then turned to a high school friend\, Hank Alva (vocals and upright bass) to round out the groove of the tunes. \nThat’s absolutely right! Emery Villains is a great example of a modern band keeping the rockabilly sound alive and fresh for a new generation of fans. They’re part of a newer wave of rockabilly bands that are blending traditional sounds with modern energy and style. \nBands like Emery Villains\, and others like Brian Setzer\, Reverend Horton Heat\, and Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys\, are all helping to carry the torch for rockabilly music\, while also pushing the genre forward with their own unique twists and interpretations. \nIt’s great to see rockabilly’s legacy living on through these bands\, and introducing the music to new fans who may not have been born when the genre first emerged. They’re keeping the spirit of rockabilly alive\, with its signature blend of country\, blues\, and early rock ‘n’ roll\, while also making it relevant and exciting for contemporary audiences. \nEmery Villains\, in particular\, has a great sound that blends classic rockabilly with a modern edge. Their music has a high-energy feel that’s perfect for dancing\, and their lyrics often have a fun\, tongue-in-cheek vibe that’s reminiscent of the genre’s early days. \nPresented by Left of the Dial and KDRT \n  \n$20 suggested donation
