Island band rocks the Bike

It’s been over a year since Gregg Curry &Ragged Glory played at the Red Bike, but at 8:30 p.m. Friday, the band will return to the Bike for a rocking show.

“Ragged Glory has evolved a sound around Curry’s original songs that is uniquely theirs — a sort of rock-and-roll minstrel show/tent revival that mixes the sacred, the profane and the in-between into a musical stew, new and familiar at once,” Pete Welch of Vashon Events said.

“Their concerts are energetic and explore a varied landscape of moods and feelings,” said Welch. “The tunes are catchy. The words will alternate between making you laugh and giving you pause. The music will make you want to dance, and chances are you will grin a lot — like you do when you hear a song on the radio that makes you want to turn it up.”

The group recently released its new CD, “With a Bullet,” and will play a host of songs from the debut album, along with older favorites.

As an added bonus, the band is often joined on stage by prominent island musicians.

The no-cover show is open to all ages until 11 p.m., then ages 21 and older only.
