Alison Pipitone Band
by Buck Quigley
Buffalo-based, nationally recognized singer/guitarist/songwriter Alison Pipitone will be celebrating the release of her sixth CD, Tigerbabies, with an already sold-out pre-release party featuring cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a performance and Q&A discussion at Sessions Recording on Thursday, June 29 from 7-10pm. Then, at Nietzsche’s on Friday, June 30 at 10pm, the Alison Pipitone Band—which includes stand-up woman Rebecca Mercurio on upright bass, Patrick Shaughnessy on drums, Graham Howes on guitar with Natalie Howes and Sheila Connors on backing vocals—will jam the joint with a legion of their enthusiastic and fun-loving fans. An added treat will be the opening set by Pamela Ryder, back from Austin, Texas to play a special solo gig at the event. Later, Canadian art rockers Mit City from Toronto will finish off the full evening. Pick up a copy of the new album at this big party toasting a great local songwriter with her tight little band.
Friday, June 30 at 10pm. Nietzsche’s, 248 Allen St. (886-8539).
