CRITIC'S PICKS: Kevin Scott’s Allstar Holiday Revival

Kevin Scott’s Allstar Holiday Revival

Thurs., Dec. 18
Kevin Scott's Funky Holiday Spectacular, Variety Playhouse - Now ensconced as the bassist for hard touring Gov't Mule, ex-Atlanta resident Scott returns for another of what has become his annual holiday blowouts. This year's tenth go-round includes Charlie Starr, the ubiquitous Kevn Kinney, Duane Trucks, T Hardy Morris and loads of others, some of whom won't be announced until the show. It's mostly a covers affair, but with holiday music from soul, blues and funk acts as opposed to the usual drippy family and mall standards we're all tired of. You never know what'll happen when Scott gets going with this talented bunch, which is of course part of the funky fun. Not to be missed. - Hal Horowitz
