Gig Alert: Andrew Rose Gregory and The Color Red Band Present The Song of Songs at The Living Room (5/27)

On Thursday (5/27) night, singer/songwriter Andrew Rose Gregory — of Brooklyn indie-soul family band, The Gregory Brothers and Auto-Tune The News — will present his yet-unreleased country-klezmer concept album, based on The Song of Songs at The Living Room, 8PM.

Gregory will perform The Song of Songs with the Color Red Band, a 7-piece ensemble featuring musicians who’ve worked with Sufjan Stevens, Danielson, Welcome Wagon, Diane Birch and Sarah & the Stanleys.

Inspired while reading the Song of Songs on tour, as well as by modern works by Sam Amidon, Tom Waits (Alice) and Sufjan Stevens, Gregory wrote his Song of Songs album over 2008-09. He recorded it last summer at Mission Sound in Williamsburg with engineer Zach McNees (Bjork, John Legend, The Pixies).

The album was recorded live in three days, except for the vocals, many of which are sung in duet with Gregory’s singer/songwriter sister-in-law Sarah Fullen Gregory, of Sarah & the Stanleys. Those were overdubbed later. Players on the record include Evan Mazunik (piano, organs, accordions), Alex Foote (guitars), Jay Foote (bass), Justin Keller (winds).

Andrew Rose Gregory & The Color Red Band will perform The Song of Songs at 8PM on Thursday at The Living Room, followed by Kelley McRae at 9PM.
