Corleone

"Corleone's opening set seemed heavily inspired by the rich texture and groove of STS9. Guitarist John Peters and bassist James Fox seemed to command their set and to lock in the groove-oriented vibe they were looking to achieve".

"The Band's long-running songs embrace on-a-dime tempo and genre changes, they are cohesive sonic documents that explode in the live setting to dynamic rump shaking workouts."


"Unlike his nasal-heavy counterparts that front many acts and leave bands deflated, Peters is cut from a mold of classic rock singers that can sing with a feeling while carrying the song on their back"

“Nashville based Corleone is a five piece improvisational powerhouse, whose sound is think, using a drummer, percussionist and DJ onstage its songs give them musical freedom to improvise with some tunes lasting 30 minutes.

“Corleone self titled debut is a masterful work, that blends funk, jazz and world music into a powerful listening experience.”

Scenic City Scene

This week the scene brings you two great bands on one great night.

So put on your dancing shoes and get ready to rock this Saturday because you'll get your money's worth when you hear the power of River View Assault...and the mastery of Corleone.

Formed in the Nashville music scene five years ago from four veteran musicians Corleone is the real thing and has shared the stage with such acts as The Dirty Dozen Brass Band and Col. Bruce Hampton and the Codetalkers.

These dub masters pile on layer upon layer from every genre to create a sound that's all corleone...

The backbone of Corleone is held down by James Fox.

He plays a funky, dubbed out bass that pulsates through the hearts of the crowd while shaking the foundations of the room.

" Kind of a dub soul thing, It's kind of hard to categorize the whole entire thing. It's kind of a mix of different things and what not."--James Fox

With a full length studio album under their belt...Corleone also has volumes of music.

Once you hear Corleone you will be forever a part of the family... But if you miss the show don't worry, these guys record every performance.

" Archive dot org that you can get so and it doesn't cost anything to download, so it's free."

But as if Corleone is not enough for your music dollar...they'll share the stage with one of chattanooga's best up and coming young acts River View Assault...

We caught up with the boys of RVA at a rehearsal to find out how they put together such a unique sound.

"A lot of jazz influence and then I started learning a lot of break beats and more intricate stuff. More arabic beats too and African rhythms."--Colby Buckler Drums

" It's really kind of a progressive style, a bunch of influence we've got a lot of funk Jazz, break beats psychedelic keys, really punk rock base rifts it's really everything you want hear."--Elliot Brown Guitar.

And you can enjoy the performance artistry of Veronica Murphy as she draws inspiration from the music to create totally original artwork during the show.

You can enjoy some of the best music around this Saturday night at rhythm and brews this saturday night as the stage is set on fire with the sounds of Corleone and River View Assault. This is a night of music you won't want to miss.
