Rae The Band at The Twisted Tail
2025-01-03 19:30 - 23:00 | The Twisted Tail, 509 S. 2nd St.
A really fine band from NYC brings its music to us! Let’s not let them down.
I’d call them charming but that’d be damning them with faint praise. I’d call them majestic but that would make them sound like an ocean liner and RTB is so much more than that.
Don’t take my word for it, see for yourself!

ALL ABOARD!
Set sail with Slowey and The Boats! The Philadelphia-based quintet has been bringing their breezy and evocative sound to audiences since the group came together behind steel guitarist Isaac Stanford in early 2012. Specializing in obscure and overlooked melodies from far and wide, the group can transition seamlessly from a traditional Hawaiian melody to an Argentinian tango followed by a classic of the American Song book. The band has a long-running residency at Dawson St Pub in Philadelphia where they host an afternoon barbecue one Sunday every month. In addition to Stanford on the steel guitar, the quintet is currently comprised of David Streim on the Wurlitzer or Fender Rhodes, Mike Hlatky on upright bass, Fred Berman on drums, and Brennen Ernst on guitar.
