Live Music – The Smokeboss Militia
Sun July 7 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Free Entry
The new album from Florida-based act The Smokeboss Militia, ‘Rise Again’ struts a rollicking sound with a timeless Americana, country and blues intertwining. The project comes via Andy ‘The Smokeboss’ Mensing, renowned for his work as the rhythm guitarist in San Diego-based punk act Rat City Riot. The ever-eclectic Mensing successfully pursues a rootsier rock charm here, supported by a collective of musicians.’
The Smokeboss Militia is the newest project of Andy ‘Smokeboss’ Mensing, former guitarist in Rat City Riot, and a litany of other bands you probably never heard of. Even since his beginnings in Underground Punk, Mensing always refused to limit himself to one ‘genre’. Rock, Blues, Country, Soul, Punk and Irish are just some of the categories he draws from to create an experience where people hear some songs they know, meet some songs they don’t, and generally just have a good time. Good songs are good songs, doesn’t really matter what you call them. So a Smokeboss set is usually an eclectic mix of songs from every corner of the spectrum while also featuring his own original creations.
Join The Smokeboss on guitar with Lucia ‘Shash’ Leahy on banjo and mandolin, and Greg Sherman on lead guitar on the ‘Rise Again UK Tour’ this summer.
