The Budget Sinners w/Caleb Travers and Big City Lights & the Blue Rubies May 30, 2008

Local group The Budget Sinners is fronted by Detroit veteran Tim Pak (ex-Salt miners, Angry Red Planet) on vocals and guitar, features hard-hitting drumming from Ryan Looney and the bass playing of Ed Sertage. Eric James Myers, previously of Warhorses, brings the licks on lead guitar. The Budget Sinners are funtime Americana. It’s time to break out the whiskey. Caleb Travers and Big City Lights caught their first break in 2007 after receiving an encore at an open mic night and given an opening slot for the Austin-based indie-pop quartet What Made Milwaukee Famous. The group has also shared the stage with Bobby Bare, Jr. Come check out one of alt-country’s rising stars before they hit the pages of No Depression. The Blue Rubies are a California-based female trio from the shores of Lake Erie. The group plays standout three-part harmonies and rotating lead vocals with a rootsy, bluesy back-to-basics foundation. They feature bass, guitar, mandolin, fiddle and harmonica and sing about small town life, love, tilt-a-whirls and teenage runaways.
