Join us at the Jackson Theatre on Tuesday, July 1st at 8pm for Charlie Maples with Mal Cooper.
Charlie Maples- Singer, arranger and songwriter, Erin Dalton (arr. for Amythyst Kiah, Bill& The Belles) with husband Andrew Gibbens, drummer (of previous band projects this mountain, Amythyst Kiah, Listener), join in melodic and harmonic rhythm with fellow singer-songwriters Isaac Ratliff (Sorrel, Florencia & The Feeling) on electric piano with some smooth BGVs, and Phil Ling (Tree Hollow) on bass and reverberating guitar. But then, like a Charlie Maples cat, Phil moved to New England. In steps multi-instrumentalist Taylor Green (also formerly of this mountain, Amythyst Kiah, and currently Mind Modes) to hold it down on bass. Charlie Maples mines the classic jazz catalogues, calls out with the Rhythm and the Blues, and flirts with the wavelength of Michael McDonald. The band’s members represent combined decades of musical exploration, performance, touring, composing, and recording in genres ranging from jazz, classical, folk, and hip-hop, to R&B, old time, rock, and ambient.
Mal Cooper- Mal has been playing swing type music since the early 60’s and performed in a seven piece dance band for 22 years. He has also been active in many dixieland and swing bands and presently performs with The Acoustic Swing Trio. The trio has performed at the Blue Mountain Pizza in Weaverville, NC every Friday night for the past 17 years and also performs at various venues in the Tri-Cities area of Tennessee.
