Description

The One Sixty-Nine brings the funky rock-soul to Shenanigans' Upstairs Friday 12/10 Vocalist Annie Sellick was well established as a jazz singer and engaging performer who’s worked with luminaries such as Jeff Coffin (DMB), Bela Fleck, Tommy Emmanuel, Joey DeFrancesco and Mark O’Connor, but “Covid Creativity” and lots of down time inspired a passion for new musical directions…and a love of the electric bass. She fronts this new project with the fresh enthusiasm of a performer with a long-time pent-up desire to rock the funk out. Guitarists Matt Cheek and Ashley Stephenson took their decade of weekly jams in a new direction when long-time friend Annie joined them at their practice spot on the Cumberland River - lot #169, that is. Fueled by brotherhood, barbecue, bourbon and bottled water led to boisterous jams that eventually took shape. They mined up the golden Tim Quinn on drums and formed The One Sixty-Nine which found its legs (and lots of spirit) at dive bars like Betty’s Grill in Nashville. They’re beginning to take this project to the great beyond, and can’t wait to meet you there. Covers by The Meters, Betty Wright, The Allman Brothers, and their own funky twist on Smokey Robinson, Hall and Oats and the Beatles, plus an ever-growing pocket-full of originals. ONLY $10
