Pop-Up Gig! Band 2, featuring Rolling Stones musicians
At a glance
About this event
The Rolling Stones are in town! And on Friday 18th, three of the band members will play a Pop-Up gig at the East Side Tavern at 9pm. Tim Ries (saxophone), Karl Denson (saxophone) and Bernard Fowler (vocals) will join Chris (guitar), Ronan (bass) and Conor Guilfoyle (drums), for a night of jazz arrangements of Rolling Stones pieces and other well known music.
Brains and brawn are in near perfect equilibrium with saxophonist Tim Ries, whose last JJ’s performance had queues snaking down Aungier St, and along with singer Bernard Fowler, and Karl Denson, he’s back in Dublin for another excursion into the songbook of rock icons The Rolling Stones. As part of the band’s epic touring set up, it’s a repertoire he knows intimately, and this quintessential New York tenorman offers a hip and illuminating perspective on their music, drawn from his work with aristocrats of American music, from Joe Henderson and Maria Schneider to Stevie Wonder and Donald Fagen. Ardent stones fans will recognize Fowler, whose soulful voice can be heard on solo projects for Jagger, Richards and Wood, and he’s also become an indispensible element of the stones on the road. Karl Denson was a member of Lenny Kravitz's band and has co-founded and led The Greyboy Allstars. Denson has recorded with artists including Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, Slightly Stoopid, Blind Boys of Alabama. In Dublin, they’ll be hooking up with 3G, who with Chris, Ronan and Conor Guilfoyle feature three of Ireland's finest jazz musicians and who will surely relish the workout on these arrestingly creative interpretations of one of the world’s greatest rock bands.
