Putnam Den<\/a> hosted two soulful bands, Alan Evans Playonbrother<\/a> and Turkuaz<\/a>, this past Thursday the 27th of March that rocked the roof off the venue. Both acts had new music to share with fans that eagerly filled up the dance floor.<\/p>\n

\"alanWith their most recent name change, Alan Evan\u2019s Playonbrother<\/a> started the night to prove that they are more than a jazz trio. Were they always this edgy? The new name was the boost the group needed to give them more of a dark rock sound. Guitarist Danny Mayer was relentless in his strong guitar riffs throughout the set, never slowing down as Beau Sasser on keys cranked out sharp notes for the familiar jazz like sound that fans have always loved. Alan Evan\u2019s passionately beat his drums and cymbals with a new found fiery confidence, not his usual cool, calm and collected manner. One of the highlights of the night was their rendition of Cream\u2019s \u201cSunshine of your Love\u201d and subsequent jam, an out of control, hard hitting masterpiece. The trio recently released a new album, Woodstock Sessions, Vol 1<\/a><\/em>. that is available online or at their shows on their current tour with Turkuaz.<\/p>\n
