Following Chris Bryant's 8pm show... we've got:

Megan Jean and the KFB (Folk/Melodramatic Popular Song/Americana) at
10pm (NO COVER)

Hard-touring, foot-stompin', guitar beatin, upright lickin, washboard
scratchin,' banjo pickin' madness with a voice like you just ain't
heard before.

Charleston, SC-based duo Megan Jean & the KFB arrange a demented blend
of gypsy, circus, americana, and the avant-garde that has been
freaking out audiences all over America! It's a new-ish sound that's
all their own, and it must be seen to be believed! And for the
doubters, melt your hearts of ice, for a duo, yes a duo can rattle the
rafters twice as nice! Salty road dogs for many years past, ask a
believer and don't be the last to know! It's a helluva show!

After many miles, moons, monsters, and maladies-Megan Jean & The KFB
have finally finished their first full-lenghth album entitled "Dead
Woman Walkin," recorded at Whylago Studios in Marietta Georgia by the
incomparable, insatiable, and infectious BJ Richardson. It will be
released on their own label, "Guts and Know How Records," November
13th of 2010, with national tours in support.

There=92s a touch of old, weird America in all of us, I think, and Megan
Jean=92s voice betrays a marked familiarity with the odd side of life in
these United States. Like The Handsome Family, Jean and the Klay
Family Band can get down to some serious, rootsy Americana sounds
while still channeling a little of the off-the-midway, creepy sideshow
mentality on songs such as =93Big Bad Wolf.=94 Jean=92s great big, sultry
voice is the star of the show, with a smoky, burnt timbre befitting a
much more well-traveled soul than she. K. Oliver - Columbia Free Times
