Squirrel Nut Zippers still
rejoice at the difficulty people have pigeonholing
their unmistakable sound. A perpetually evolving,
hybrid-stew of Southern roots traditions, blues
and jazz, the Zippers were aptly tagged "'30s
punk" by one critic. They have always flirted
with a muse most concerned with ghosts, love
gone wrong, fever-dreams and stories unearthed
from days past. Centered around the beguiling
vocals of Katherine Whalen and the anachronistic
windup toy that is Jimbo Mathus, the Zippers
promise to both charm and confound.
There's no better choice for the State's 80th
Birthday.
