PJ Brown and Her Resistance

Like a band of misfits heeding the clarion call of Philadelphia’s most revered musical ghosts, PJ Brown and Her Resistance assembled for the first time (feat. members of WPJO and the legendary Martha Graham Cracker) for a sold out show at World Café Live! What started as a full-steam homage to Miss Sharon Jones took a left turn when the wheels fell off and the ship lifted high above Love Park , clipping the hat off that bird-dropping-covered statue of William Penn and straight into the sun.
PJ Brown and Her Resistance continues its mission to spread love and music – To celebrate lost souls, excited shapeshifters, perennial drifters, aspiring troublemakers. and unapologetic agents of change.
It’s troubled soul music, taped-together rock and roll, basement party funk—it’s dark as night and light as day—and all of it is for you!

NEW MUSIC!

The band is excited to announce the release of two new songs, “Deeper and Deeper” and “Pink Elephants” –

Judy Paster

Judy Paster is a Nashville-based, Pennsylvania-grown Americana artist whose music carries the soul of her story—honest, authentic, and full of hope. She began writing songs at age 8, using music to process pain, faith, and a longing for peace after a childhood marked by trauma and loss. Later, her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s and a season of living on the road out West further shaped both her heart and her voice.
Her debut with The Judy Paster Trio features two Grammy-winning members of The Time Jumpers, weaving fiddle, upright bass, and acoustic guitar into a rich, rootsy sound. Her songs have been featured in film and TV (Christmas Crush, The Holiday Exchange, Music City Mistletoe), and she first gained national attention when Billboard called her “an artist truly on the rise” following the release of her debut EP. Since moving to Nashville, Judy has earned airplay, carved out a place in the singer-songwriter scene, and received multiple awards, including the 2021 Josie Music Award for Folk/Americana Artist of the Year and a Canadian Covenant Award (Canada’s equivalent of the Dove Award) for co-writing Jazz Blues Song of the Year.
She has written and shared stages with some of Music City’s top writers, released five albums (Judy Paster, Stronger, Rubies, Rocks & Stones, Like Stardust, Road to the Sun), and several singles. Judy is also part of Women Behind the Lyrics—a national tour and upcoming reality TV series that follows the lives of
four female Country artists living and touring together.
She frequently performs at the world-famous Bluebird Cafe and has graced many of Nashville’s premier stages. Through it all, her music remains a steady companion—for herself and for others—offering light, strength, and something real in a world that too often sells the opposite.

The Fractals

Photos: Lisa Schaffer
Guess what happens when a trio of three martini lunches staggers toward a ragged copy of “Respect For Acting,” stumbling over bellbottom into plasticine porters, hissing like 8-Tracks, knocking over emo kids with Flying Vees? The Fractals, that’s what happens, and they have been happening for ten years. Tearing it up mercilessly in a cyclonic maelstrom of Stevie-cum-Angus-cum-Fagan, with outer bands of Zeppelin and Trane, the whirling dervish that is The Fractals is not to be ignored. Kevin Hanson, lead singer and songwriter, has performed and recorded with the likes of Usher, Jay-Z, The Roots, Musiq Soulchild and countless others. He appears in the acclaimed films “Fade To Black” as a band member for Jay-Z’s “farewell concert) and Dave Chappelle’s “Block Party” as a member of the house band . His distinctive songwriting is what has drawn so many to both Huffamoose and his current band. His compositions and masterful guitar playing are the spinal cord of The Fractals. Jim Stager, bassist, has performed and recorded with hundreds of artists, ranging from Rosemary Clooney (!) to the legendary punk band “X”. His mastery of rock and jazz merge in a style that has earned him a place in the pantheon of Philadelphia’s notable session greats.
Erik Johnson, drummer, has performed or recorded with countless artists in myriad styles. His credits include: Ben Schachter’s Trio of Many, George Garzone, Tim Hagans, Jack Walrath, Gary Bartz, John Swana, Jef Lee Johnson, Ralph Bowen, Larry McKenna, Jim Ridl, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Kurt Elling, Gerald Veasley, Lelia Broussard, Liz Longley. In addition to his legendary status as a jazz virtuoso, his drumming has served as the heartbeat for a striking range of
Philadelphia’s singer-songwriter community. His fiercely original expressiveness on drums and soaring background vocals have
become vital to The Fractals’ sound. The Fractals have recently completed their first full-length offering, “Heavy Rotation” and are currently performing in the Philly area in support of their new release. Their live performances are not to be missed, and their shows have gained notoriety among local musicians and fans alike as remarkable musical events.

Philly Gumbo’s distinctive blend of New Orleans R & B, funk, reggae, blues and soul has made it a unique and popular presence on the Philadelphia music scene for thirty years. Over the years, the band has been a “Best Of” selection by Philadelphia Magazine in their annual “Best Of Philadelphia” issues as well as having played most of the top venues in the area such as The Kimmel Center, The Sellersville Theater and World Café Live and such major events as the Atlantic City Summer Jazz Festival, Musikfest, Jambalaya Jam, Jam On The River, WRTI-FM’s Groovin’ In The Park, the Media Blues Stroll, The West Oak Lane Jazz & Arts Festival and many more. Philly Gumbo has opened for such greats as Dr. John, Buddy Guy & Jr. Wells, Rick Danko & Levon Helm of The Band and Mutabaruka. Having pioneered the live music scene at the legendary South Street venue Bacchanal, Philly Gumbo was often joined by such special guests as Todd Rundgren, David Lindley, Teddy Royal of Fats Domino’s band, members of Harold Melvin & The Blues Notes’ band and others. In addition, members of Philly Gumbo have played with such legends as Little Milton, Wilson Pickett, Bo Diddley and Big Youth.
“Philly Gumbo’s long-term popularity has come from two things,” notes founding member Randall Grass: “an ability to play an authentic and unique mix of New Orleans
R & B, funk, reggae, blues and soul, and the presence of great singers, such as Brenda Smith, Walt Taylor, Jeannie Brooks, Richard Johnson, and current lead vocalist India Rex.”
Formed in late 1980, the band quickly developed a following at the Germantown club
Takers Café with a unique mix of music reminiscent of New Orleans group The Neville Brothers. As such, the group pioneered the popularity of New Orleans music in Philadelphia, with a celebrated weekly gig at Bacchanal for nearly a decade. The band released its debut single “Holy War b/w Mardi Gras” in 1984 and contributed the original song “Xmas In New Orleans” to the Seasons Greetings Philadelphia benefit CD in 1999.
Four members of Philly Gumbo—drummer Tim Hayes, bassist Bert Harris, guitarist Pete Eshelman and keyboardist Randall Grass–have been the core of the band since the beginning while saxophonist Richard Orr often sat in with the band as early as the 80’s and vocalist extraordinaire India Rex, is the latest in a long line of exceptional vocalists. The band released a new CD “Come And Get It” in 2011. A Philly Gumbo performance makes a great listening experience, with its ever-shifting mix of New Orleans R & B, blues, jazz, funk, reggae, soul, and even African music, but is equally suited for dancing.
The band appeals to a people of all ages and backgrounds. In fact, it is difficult to resist getting up and shaking your groove thing to Philadelphia’s greatest groove band!
