Micky & the Motorcars w/ Adam Najemian @ Bowery Electric | Fri Oct 3rd | 7PM Show

For a handful of summers about 30 years ago, tourists who wandered into a large dancehall in Stanley, Idaho, witnessed a family tradition finding new life. Young and old sat shoulder-to-shoulder, taking a break from the town’s mountain hikes and river campgrounds to take in Muzzie Braun and the Boys––a local family band who’d made it to the Grand Ole Opry, effortlessly spouted cowboy poetry and Western swing at gatherings around the country, and featured Muzzie’s four young sons––precocious boys with rock-and-roll futures.For the Motorcars, the question is never really whether to tour but where to play next. Gary––who handles guitar, mandolin, harmonica, harmonies, and occasionally lead vocals––and Micky, lead vocalist and acoustic guitarist, are joined in the Motorcars by Andy Carrell on bass, Bobby Paugh on drums and percussion, and new bandmate Pablo Trujillo on guitar. The combination of familiar and fresh players has reinvigorated the Motorcars’ live show, which buzzes through a low-key rock-and-roll rapture built on grooves and the Brauns’ signature harmonies.

Adam Najemian is a Brooklyn-based musician whose sound blends the rich history of Americana, folk, country, and bluegrass music with a modern, political edge. Drawing from the storytelling traditions of Americana and folk, the high lonesome sound of bluegrass, and the honky-tonk rhythms of outlaw country, his original songs offer thought-provoking commentary on politics, social justice, and the intricacies of everyday life.
