Delco Nightingale Open for Wanda Jackson at WCL Feb. 22

Delco Nightingale lead us through a time warp to the 1940s rediscovering the sounds of big-band, jazz and swing standards. However, the four-piece that is made up of vocalist Erin Berry, guitarist Greg Phoenix, upright bassist Brendan Skwire, and drummer Eddie Everett take those opulent orchestrated compositions, strip them down, and inject a bit of the rock ‘n’ roll that really didn’t exist in that time period, thus, creating fun, bouncy numbers for a whole new generation. Well, they have a big show tonight at World Café Live, and I’m thinking that they’ll be right at home when they open for living icon and Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson. Now, how many people in the world and throughout history can say that they slept with Elvis and rocked out with Jack White? Exactly. World Café Live, 3025 Walnut St., 8pm, $30 – $55, All Ages – H.M.
