LOCAL FAVORITES 2013: Big Papa and the TCB

On Friday, Dec. 20, my list of favorite local music of 2013 came out in The Press-Enterprise’s Guide section.

If you missed the big spread in the paper, I’ll be posting my favorites over the next week or so. In the seven years I’ve been at The Press-Enterprise, I’ve never heard so much great local music.
Six Pack of Cool

Big Papa and the TCB
“Six Pack of Cool”

Big Papa and the TCB leaves the experimentation of its last record and goes back to its jump blues roots for this album. The addition of a horn section serves the band well and adds more texture to the combo’s songs.

Watch performances from the new album and an interview with the band from a PE Live session we did earlier this year.
