The Fogcutters and Lyle Divinsky at the Chocolate Church
If it’s a winter interlude your looking for, the 13 horns and burnin’ five-piece rhythm section of The Fogcutters can deliver.
This popular and unique band, which redefines what a big band ensemble is and can be, will be joined by “The Sasquatch of Soul,” Lyle Divinsky.
The two join forces on the main stage of the Chocolate Church Arts Center on Saturday, March 7 at 7:30 p.m.
The Fogcutters balance subtlety and power by playing the band’s own unique blend of funk, rock, Afro-Cuban and hip hop and combining them with traditional sounds.
The groove is infectious and the impact is stunning.
The Fogcutters were voted 2014 Best Jazz Act in New England at The New England Music Awards and voted Best Jazz Act for 2012 and 2013 and the Best Live Act for 2013 Portland Phoenix Music Awards.
Divinsky is originally from Portland, but relocated to New York City three years ago. His soulful singing style is tender and emotion-driven, powerful and moving. If you've never heard him, check out some tunes on his website: lyledivinsky.bandcamp.com.
Todd Richard, reviewing for The Portland Phoenix, said this about Divinsky, “ ... doesn't front: he sings soul and R&B, and that’s that. There are no tags or modifiers needed: his music is pure and honest. His focus is so spectacular that his originals sound like instant classics.”
