Additional Information
Raised in New York City, John Scarpulla began playing subway stations and bars in and around Manhattan in his early twenties. His songwriting has evolved over the past 15 years from intimate walks through the blue-black city streets and barrooms of New York City to autumn brown country roads paved with gratitude.
Scarpulla has a loyal grassroots fan base, and continuously tours throughout the northeast. His sound is best described by jazz bassist Joe Fonda as, “true lyrical poetry that is rooted in the blues and has a deep groove.” The music is seamless and moves effortlessly between powerful testimonials of love and redemption and mournful ballads of regret and perseverance.
John has released two albums: Blue Ruin (2008), and Before the Streetlights Come On (2010). A full band live album is expected in Spring 2012.
Happy hour 5-7 p.m. Doors: 7 p.m, show at 8pm.
Tickets: $10
