Saturday night at Fete located in the illustrious Olneyville section of Providence was the scene for VulGarrity's unveiling of their third album Funkeology to an excited audience. Mother Of Dylan, Malyssa Bellarosa and Dynasty Electric were also on the bill that guaranteed to rock people's minds into oblivion. VulGarrity is always a treasure to see live, they keep on getting better and better every time I see them.

Mother of Dylan

Mother Of Dylan featuring Don Martone started the night with his acoustic guitar and powerful bluesy voice that nearly lit the microphone on fire. "All These Years", "Blindness", "House Of Fire", "The Muse", "His" and a cover of Santigold's "Disparate Youth" featuring VulGarrity's Shawn Garrity on guitar were soulful and spectacular. It's always refreshing when you see acoustic music that's as loud as something that's electrified, Mother of Dylan definitely made that happen and it was awesome.

Malyssa Bellarosa

Lead singer of Providence rock & roll band Fall & Bounce and an extremely talented individual in her own right, the lovely Malyssa Bellarosa went up next with her beautiful voice and rhythmic guitar while everyone basked in the greatness. "Shine", "All My Love", "Never Be", "No Reason", "Of The Girl", "Right From Wrong" and "Out Of Time" encompassed a magnificent performance that exuded brilliance. Malyssa currently has a solo album titled Open Up available, music from one of the premier female musicians in Providence that you have to get your hands on.
