Matt Whipkey, “Gummi Soul: Another Rubber” album release show!

The Beatles classic “Rubber Soul” reimagined.

Featuring a special performance alongside The Movies , Stephen Sheehan and Kristen Buell 

Two performances , 6:30 and 8:30, $15, The Jewell Omaha , Sat. May 13
Tickets

Twenty years burning down the road of original compositions, Omaha-based songwriter Matt Whipkey turns his eye to one of his all-time influences : The Beatles. Previously presenting a version of the fabs’ classic “Drive My Car” on his 2018 album “Driver”, Whipkey’s come full circle: reimagining and interpreting The Beatles entire 1965 landmark, “Rubber Soul”.

 “Gummi Soul: Another Rubber” is the culmination of one of the most inspired years of Whipkey’s restless musical journey. With The Beatles as his muse and “Rubber Soul” as his map, Whipkey plows fertile new musical ground with more than just a little help from his friends. At times enlisting the melodic bombast of his classic early aughts quartet, The Movies, Whipkey hands over lead vocal duties on several numbers to both veteran Omaha vocalist Stephen Sheehan (Digital Sex) and a revelatory newcomer in Kristen Buell. 

Not limited to landlocked Omaha, “Gummi Soul: Another Rubber” proudly features the mixing work and co-production (“Michelle”) of legendary European-based,  Grammy award- winning  producer Stephen Hague (Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Peter Gabriel) Throughout “Gummi Soul…” Ian Aeillo and J. Scott Gaeta also assist Whipkey in this reimagined production of the gospel according to John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Covering all US and UK “Rubber Soul” album tracks along with the singles , “Gummi Soul : Another Rubber” reveals the Shakespearean nature of The Beatles songcraft. Able to withstand at times radical reworkings with melodic integrity seemingly intact: The Beatles always shine through.  

Alongside his signature American folk rock, Whipkey ventures into the previously unexplored waters of electronic production (Girl, I’ve Just Seen a Face, We Can Work It Out) even embracing elements of baroque and French pop (Michelle). Across the 19 tracks, Whipkey’s fearlessness in the shadows of our Liverpool heroes is equal parts irreverence and honor. 

Joining Whipkey on the Jewell stage for this long in the works release celebration is his most all-star iteration to date. Do not miss your chance to catch a truly memorable evening of music presented by Matt Whipkey featuring the actual recording cast of “Gummi Soul: Another Rubber”.

The Englert Theater in Iowa City has some good shows coming up this year.
April 21 & 22, David Sedaris

Each week we post two halves of our radio broadcasted show. This show is the second half, which usually means it rocks a bit more. This show dates back to 2006, 15 years after the show began,  and, as you will hear, it sounds a lot different. Be sure to share your thoughts, both negative and positive. The secret sauce is, at least I think it is, in the song selections. We tried to reflect the music that was HOT in 2006 which weaving in artists we thought would someday make a contribution to the scene, as well as, the old familiar sounds and artists that made listeners feel comfortable.

Thanks for sharing my hobby. After 32 years, you'd think I knew what I was doing but, well, I just don't like to be predictable. Some folks like routines, I abhor them. Drop is a note on the podcast or send an email to KIWRblues@gmail.com, ATTN:  Rick. 

Enjoy. Rick 

Pacific St Blues & Americana has been broadcasting over the airwaves since 1991 (32 years as of this posting). over that time the show has evolved and changed. This archival show reaches back 17 years and it will sound different. Over that time we've learned, or perhaps improved, our unique music sound: a thread of blues weaving through three hours of music with smatterings of Classic (blues) Rock, homegrown acts from the immediate area, and national touring blues bands, and later, we added Americana. Basically, the eclectrity that is Pacific Street Blues & Americana is essentially what a serious music listening in the High Plains of Nebraska might listen to. Nope, it's not yer Dad's blues show but I hope you enjoy it. 

So take a seat on my figurative coach, in my figurative den. and join me as we listen together and explore music. 
Thanks for listening. Rick
