RALEIGH
JAMIE MCLEAN BAND
THE POUR HOUSE–Jamie McLean is the guitarist in the latest incarnation of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, a fitting starting point for describing the sundry influences that pour into his Jamie McLean Band, at heart a rollicking outfit channeling the spirit of Southern rock through scabrous guitar chords through distorted tubes amps, carrying big fleshy hooks and loads of blue-eyed soul. It’s easy to find more than a hint of blues, Motown and jazz coursing through his Stones or Black Crowes-comparable work, serving as a late but welcome testament that American music (not just the blues) had a baby called rock ‘n’ roll. The debut LP, This Time Around, is a promising start for a sideman in charge. Organix opens the $6 show at 10 p.m.
