Live at the Montco-PA Sports Hall of Fame 2011 Banquet 9/27

UnkDate: Unkle staying busy indeed--- last Friday, The Big Unkle at the Tin Angel. Then less than 8hrs later, TBU opens up the Eagle National Bank 5K in Drexel Hill for an estimated, 2,000 folks--and we just learned that the Montco PA Sports Hall of Fame expects over 300 special guests at the Inductees Award Banquet this coming Tuesday at the King of Prussia Radisson. Honorees include Marc Bailey, (Upper Merion's "still" all time leading rusher since 1980 with over 3,200yds), Univ of Pitt star and eventual free-agent signee with the Buffalo Bills and boxing great, Smokin' Joe Frazier---among other great athletes and coaches who have ties to the Montgomery County area.

The Big Unkle, among the "Top 25" on ReverbNation's Local Jazz Chart

We know we are in good company...and honored to be there since we realize that, "We ain't cho' Poppa's typical jazz band." Call if what you want, but if "Tis' Your Kind of Music"... it is all good and we thank you. Support your local musicians and your local music scene!



A.P (Philly)

A.P. [Phila.] In an exclusive interview with "My Baby Magazine" Philly-based, funk/fusion band, The Big Unkle "speaks out" for the first time amid accusations that they frequently misuse the term, "Dirty Diaper Funk" when describing some of their favorite musical influences. Some critics and advocates for stinky-butt babies say that the term is insensitive and biased toward malodorous tykes who are simply in need of a change and quick swab with a moist wipe. The article surfaces as the group prepares for their appearance at The Tin Angel this Friday at 10:30pm. In a brief statement released late last evening, band spokesperson and keyboardist, Ken (Unkle) Murray (seen here on the left) added that, "this Friday's show will be our last in the City until next year, so if folks want to see what all the talk is about--they need to come smell and hear for themselves." Band members, Henderson and Theurer could not be reached for comment. <<photo by Steve Schultz

Today in music history...

Today in music histroy in 1997 - VH1 aired "Storytellers" live for the first time. The show was a 90 minute special featuring Elton John from the House of Blues in New Orleans, LA. To this day, this is still one of my favorite shows (on VH1).

He's one of my favorites featuring Pearl Jam, doing there classic "Alive"
