Jeremiah Clark and the Broken Band
Jeremiah Clark is a Baltimore-based folksinger and songwriter, a desperate criminal and conman, who has been trying to win over good-hearted, simple-minded folks with a blend of subversive preaching and the devil’s music for over a decade. He has recently been recording and performing with a new outfit, known as the Broken Band. A raggedy pack of washed-up hepcats, the band is clearly itchin' to be let out for another prowl. They play with abandon, and a little desperation, like the whiskey has just run out, but they just found the best groove of their lives, so no ones gettin' up to go get anymore. They have little regard for authority figures, and seek to incite rebellion under the guise of "social protest". Their main goal, however, seems to be to excite the womenfolk, whilst reminding the boys of the dangers of excited womenfolk. Beware this band, who have ruined so many hitherto virtuous souls.
