Monty Hall

<p>For more than 50 years, they have conjured a slippery blend of early R&B, hardcore country, novelty songs and rockabilly by seizing the improvisational energy of jazz.” – Washington Post, August 2019</p><p>NRBQ is Terry Adams, Scott Ligon, Casey McDonough, and John Perrin. “NRBQ” stands for New Rhythm and Blues Quartet. The band’s music has attracted fans as diverse as Elvis Costello, Penn &amp; Teller, R.E.M., SpongeBob SquarePants, Ian McLagan, She &amp; Him, Wilco, Widespread Panic, and Nick Lowe. NRBQ songs have inspired cover versions by Bonnie Raitt, Los Lobos, Darlene Love, and Dave Edmunds, among many others. The group served as the unofficial “house band” for The Simpsons for Seasons 10-12.  They appeared as zombies in George Romero’s movie Day of the Dead. They have appeared at the Berlin Jazz Festival, the Grand Ole Opry, and Wilco’s Solid Sound Festival. NRBQ has released a series of critically-acclaimed albums in the past decade, among them Keep This Love Goin’ (2011), Brass Tacks (2014), and the 5-disc, 50-year retrospective, High Noon (2016).  Of the brand-new live recording Turn On, Tune In, longtime WFMU DJ Bob Brainen says, “Variety, familiarity, that seemingly left field choice, they’re all here. Long live the good ship NRBQ and all who sail with her!”</p>
