Kearney falls squarely into this category, cranking out gentle tunes with a wistful eye. His sixth album, <em>Crazytalk<\/em>, was released in 2018. Joining him is <strong>Eli Teplin<\/strong>, a classically trained pianist and esteemed alum of The Billy Joel School of Piano Rock.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mat Kearney - Kings &amp; Queens\" width=\"689\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_CFph8k3Kuw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<span class=\"\" style=\"display:block;clear:both;height: 0px;padding-top: 40px;border-top-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;\"><\/span>\n<h3>\u2018Groundhog Day\u2019<\/h3>\n<p><em>Monday, Feb. 3 and Wednesday, Feb. 5, Marcus Palace and Point Cinemas (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcustheatres.com\/marcus-specials\/marcus-film-series\/retro-film-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">info<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There have been plenty of riffs on <em>Groundhog Day<\/em>\u2019s premise: for example, <em>Edge of Tomorrow<\/em> explored the concept for the sci-fi\/action genre, while <em>Happy Death Day<\/em> adapted it for horror. It\u2019s even a <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5QgBRvMmWk4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeep commercial<\/a> now!

But there will only be one true <em>Groundhog Day<\/em>, the 1993 comedy that finds Bill Murray\u2019s prickly weatherman forced to relive the same day over and over and over again.

Cordae is probably the most high-profile member of the group \u2014 and listening to his 2019 solo debut <em>The Lost Boy<\/em>, it\u2019s understandable why. The 22-year-old builds his tracks on luxurious soul samples (think <em>Dropout<\/em>-era Kanye) and incisive lyrics about social strife. In an era where a lot of artists his age are building their careers on memes and soundbites, Cordae has created an expansive throwback to hip-hop\u2019s golden age of production.

She even ran the church\u2019s Twitter account, making her directly responsible for some of its most venomous rhetoric. But in 2012, Phelps-Roper had an epiphany and, along with her sister, left the church \u2014 and her family.

The group is endearingly odd, from their loud manner of dress to their pumping \u201cbrasshouse\u201d sound \u2014 a gumbo of influences that includes ska, dub and funk. Better still, Too Many Zooz have a way of commanding crowds that\u2019s unparalleled. You\u2019ll want to book them for your next house party.

The idiosyncratic band was led by Mike Doughty, a poet at heart with a love of mashing up seemingly unrelated genres like jazz and electronica into a sound that comes out like trip-hop. (But somehow weirder, if that\u2019s possible.) He is a prolific solo artist, releasing more than a dozen albums full of his genre experimentations. Doughty and longtime collaborator Scrap Livingston will play a set of online requests here, sourced individually for each show.
