Unheralded opening trio Shotgun Party blew the house away with a set of Texas swing that had one foot among the tumbleweeds and the other in outer space.
Singer Jenny Parrot has an arresting, brassy voice with a permanent, fluttering vibrato, and a stage presence that was just art-school enough to let you know somebody up there’s a-thinkin’. Kind of like a two-step Björk, without the annoyance factor.
Fiddler Kay Rose Cox gets virtuoso honors for the night; her solos were hair-raising, heroic statements. Shotgun Party will be back, and when they are, go." - Club Helsinki Show Review at Metroland Online
A lil' jug, some cowgirl, smudges of Betty Boop soundtracking, sneaky bordello, snarky and romantic country of course, and a variety of hybrid hybrids compose this way cool trio's dirt-road brass tack sonorities with far more grit, humor, and populist sentiment than one might suspect…and then Katy Cox proves to be one helluva fiddler on top of it all.
Shotgun Trio is a High Noon Mayberry ensemble straight out of a Mark Twain that's exceedingly deceptive in its period sound, filling out the environs masterfully with just a triad of great in-house axehandling (Jenny Parrott: gtr., vox; Katy Rose Cox: fiddle, vox; Chris Crepps: upright bass, vox) plus some guest clarinet and slide guitar.
