It was a dark night, like many before it in Memphis, Tennessee. Joshua Andrew Cosby walked home from rehearsal with his guitar, case-less, slung over his back. A local homeless man flagged him down, not for money but for a story. He explained to Cosby how he had written a song about his former lover, Micey. There, on that dimly lit street occurred an exchange, two men playing each other songs of heartbreak and the ultimate sacrifice. Upon parting ways, the man revealed his name to be Star. That name became the fixture for one of Memphis’ most inventive bands: Star & Micey.
Star & Micey have a way of capturing your attention as well as your heart. Their harmonies are enchanting and the blues / folk infusion uniquely delivered by the group settle in your brain and have you humming their songs for days. They’re a band that dances, bounces and even backflips around while providing an energetic all-American sound with a variety of Appalachian instruments.
The 6-person group’s self-titled debut album features a revolving door of fantastic musicians including Luther Dickinson (The Black Crowes, North Mississippi Allstars), Jody Stephens (Big Star) and Rick Steff (Cat Power, Lucero).
Also Performing: Carolina Story
