Southern Rock / Blues / Soul
Band Urban Preacher
 
 
 
Dirty southern soul-rock from Toronto. Led by the powerful vocals of Myrrhine Faller, Urban Preacher has the right amount of class and spunk to bring back an old sound in a new way. Close your eyes and imagine an 8-piece band, dressed for success playing a dingy barn, sounding like the bastard child of The Black Crowes and The Black keys with a female singer. Anthony Rinaldi steps to the edge of the stage and plays a sax lick that bleeds into a face-melting guitar solo, care of Neil Hendry. The smell of sweet perfume forms a mist that pulls you into the "shooby-doo-wop" backup singers. Everything seems happy-go-lucky at the outer edges of the stage, but in the shadows lurks the silhouette of a man in a cowboy hat, peering across the stage at the rhythm section. He makes eye contact with you for a brief moment before turning away to pound at the keyboard. As the night gets darker, the band stops with a bang and everyone in the barn sings along to a chorus; you can't help but to sing along too! The Urban Preacher congregation reminds you that we're all in this together, so take a step back from life, hold on to your beer and enjoy the ride.
