What can I say about Eldridge Gravy and his amazing band The Court Supreme? I was turned on to his music by a friend who attended the Wurst Festival in Wallingford a few weeks ago. The attendees of this little local festival had NO IDEA they were in for such a treat.
My friend immediately told me of the upcoming show at Nectar and purchased tickets the very same day. Eldridge Gravy is a soul-filled singer who belts out hip grooving music the likes this girl has never seen. The sound is pure funk. Backed by a kick-ass horn section and soulful sistahs on vocals--the sound is a fusion of all things "funkay" and it works. By day, a mild mannered white dude...aah, but at night--stand back! They funked up a sold out, absolutely packed Nectar on Saturday night. I fear that the next time I see this cat, he and his band will be in a much larger venue with far more expensive tickets. Regardless, I will pay and look forward to the next performance.
