Though the songs are all originals, they capture the warmth and tone of the guitar greats of days gone by. Blue Sky Thinkin\u2019 is a departure for Anne McCue who has a deep feeling for the rocking side of the blues.\u00a0 McCue\u2019s affection for this pre-rock music is evident in the disc\u2019s gorgeously crafted songs; they sound so authentically vintage that you\u2019ll be checking the credits to see what Tin Pan Alley tunesmith wrote them.<\/p>\n<p>McCue is the real deal. Influenced by everyone from Django Reinhardt to Howlin&#8217; Wolf to Bessie Smith, the Australian songstress invites comparisons to Lucinda Williams, sure, but also to harder-edged folk like Janis Joplin and even Jimi Hendrix. She made her U.S. debut of sorts touring with her band Eden AKA at the Lilith Fair in 1998 and 1999.<\/p>\n<p>On stage, she&#8217;s captivating. There&#8217;s something undeniably sultry about a woman with an electric guitar, and she&#8217;s known to show up with a fully loaded arsenal of axes&#8211; everything from a shiny National to a burgeoning 12-string to a lap steel&#8211; and she works them all totally masterfully during the course of her show.<\/p>\n<p>Seating is limited.<\/p>\n<p>The Earlville Opera House is wheelchair-accessible with a ramp and a lift.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, or to reserve your seats, call 315-691-3550 or order online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.earlvilleoperahouse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.earlvilleoperahouse.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Opera House is located at 18 East Main Street in Earlville.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Earlville, NY \u2013 April 2015) The Earlville Opera House welcomes the swinging Americana blues of the Anne McCue Band on Friday April 17 at 8 p.m. to the EOH Arts Cafe.
