Neal Evans played at the Westcott Theater with Soulive in 2009.

We caught Soulive for the first time almost a decade ago. Their brand of funk is maybe the closest thing we’ve heard to the Sound of Minneapolis (The Time, The Revolution, Flyte Tyme Productions).

Neal Evans (above) and his brother are from Buffalo, where July 9th is considered Soulive Day.

In addition to the music, Evans also scores films (most recently “The Boomer List” by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders).

Syracuse-native Jimmy Cavallo returned to town to play a two-day set at the Italian Festival.

We got to meet Jimmy Cavallo over the weekend. On stage he plays a mean sax, and has an energetic show with great jokes for someone almost 90. During his Saturday set he talked about appearing in the film Rock, Rock!”

He later told us he was the first white rock musician (with an all white band) to play Harlem’s Apollo Theater in 1956.
