Birdman’s Clambake Celebrate the Release of Build a Bridge at Bar Nancy December 18

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Miami rock and roll band issues new collection of songs recorded in the mid-2000s, fete the new album at the Little Havana craft cocktail joint

Miami, FL – December 2, 2020 – Better late than never. Birdman’s Clambake will be celebrating the release of a new collection of originals called Build a Bridge recorded in 2004 on Friday, December 18, 2020, beginning at 9 p.m. at Bar Nancy (2007 SW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33135). The evening will be kicked off by an opening set of music by special guest Alexa Lash and feature several of the dozen songs from the new album played live. No cover, 21 and over welcome, facial coverings are required. CD copies of the new album will be available for purchase at $10 and just in time for the holidays.

“I am excited and absolutely relieved to finally be putting out this ‘new’ collection of 12 songs,” says lead vocalist and guitarist Sean Gould, who is also known as the Birdman and serves as the Nancy’s house audio engineer. “It was quite an experience to record them with Brendan Buckley (drums / production / mixing) and Fernando Perdomo (bass), and for me, if there is a silver lining to this pandemic, it’s that these songs will finally see the light of day.” The Nancy will cap attendance at 50% capacity and strictly enforce mask-wearing and social distancing rules as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The old/new set picks up where the band’s previous release Shooting Star (2001) left off: a heavy dose of hard rock and blues, buoyed by optimism and a palpable sense of humor. From the sunny disposition of “Beautiful Day”, to the blues-based kitsch of “Swamp Thing”, the pleasant sonic oddity that is “Egypt (Calling)”, and the tender finality of “I’ll Be OK”, the album shines with great song writing and even better performances. Stand outs also include “Angel I Can Trust” and the nod to country music heavyweight Johnny Cash called “Nashville”.

Buckley is a noted session player, recording and touring with the likes of Julio Iglesias, Shakira, Gloria Estefan, Lauren Hill, DMX, David Bisbal, Nil Lara, Fulano de Tal, and the Spam Allstars. However, being the live drummer for Shakira has kept him on the road for most of the last two decades, which might help explain why the project was held up for so long. “Due to COVID-19, he was off the road and had time to mix the CD,” says Gould. Brendan is a University of Miami graduate and veteran of the Miami music scene, which is how he and the Birdman originally crossed paths.

L.A. based singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist Perdomo is also a Miami music scene veteran, which is also how he met Gould. He is a member of Jakob Dylan’s touring band and was recently featured in the hit music documentary Echo in the Canyon. Fernando owns and operates the Reseda Ranch recording studio and has just released an instrumental reggae version of “Do You Think I’m Sexy?” with legendary drummer Carmine Appice. More songs by the duo are in the offing.

Recorded at Birdman’s notorious Little River area warehouse / studio, the album features backing vocals by Alana and Nicole Chirino, Maryel Epps, and Elsten Torres (Fulano de Tal).

Clambake features virtuoso guitar playing by Sean, backed by the powerful rhythm section made up of Monchy Coruguedo on drums and Michael Mut on bass and vocals. The band’s repertoire varies from show to show and includes a fair amount of improvisations, but never strays too far from the blues and classics from the 50s, 60s and 70s. They will be joined by the singer / songwriter Lash on a few numbers.

Bar Nancy first opened in Little Havana in 2017. The bar’s theme is colonial-era nautical, and its main bar mimics the galley of the famous namesake ship. A daily happy hour offers half-priced drinks 4 to 7 p.m. The bar offers a sizable selection of draft and canned beers, as well as specialty cocktails and gourmet grilled cheese by the food vendor The Cheese Stands Alone. An outside patio offers ample seating and a smoking area.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Miami, FL – October 20, 2020 – The Urban Dictionary defines the phrase “arroz con mango” as “a sticky situation, a mess, or a downright cluster (you know what).” What an apt description of 2020 that is.

That all changes on Saturday, November 14, 2020, beginning at 5 p.m., as ACM returns to Bar Nancy (2007 SW 8th Street, Miami, FL 33135).

“This is a great opportunity to bring the ACM family back and help local artists and vendors, since they have had very few chances to display, promote and sell their goods, or to play,” says event founder and Pop Up Girl Francis Weiner. “I think people are ready to get out as long as they know it will be a safe environment, and Bar Nancy has done a great job ensuring everyone’s safety.” The venue will cap attendance at 50% capacity and strictly enforce mask-wearing and social distancing rules as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Miami, FL – October 9, 2019 – Arroz Con Mango literally translates to rice with mango. Its Cuban colloquial meaning is a sticky, messy situation. The monthly marketplace that has been happening at Bar Nancy (2007 SW 8 Street, Miami, 33135) for the last six months is only partially sticky. Mostly a well-oiled operation that offers the chance to shop some local wares, attendees can also listen to live music, sip on some of Little Havana’s craftiest cocktails, and chow on some delectable eats. This month, the party will be Halloween themed, and again be free and feature Birdman’s Clambake.

“Arroz Con Mango was conceived as a tribute to my Cuban/Mexican background,” says event founder Francis Weiner. “Miami is a melting pot, and as a result is un arroz con mango. I have always had a deep connection with my culture, music, and the arts, and I am an immense supporter of local vendors. ACM was my opportunity to bring something to the community where I could bring people together from different backgrounds to merge and enjoy themselves through art and music, all while supporting Miami locals.”

“Clamstavaganza” at Bar Nancy Celebrates 25 Years of Birdman’s Clambake

FOR IMMEDATE RELEASE

Past members of band best known for track “Oye Mamacita” will join current lineup for career-spanning jam on October 12 beginning at 10 p.m.

Miami, FL – September 26, 2019 – South Carolina native Sean “Birdman” Gould has been a Miami music-maker, guitarist / bassist for hire, sound engineer, and bandleader for the better part of three decades now. His band Birdman’s Clambake, which has evolved through several lineup changes, has remained a South Florida mainstay for nearly as long. On Saturday, October 12, 2019, the group will celebrate its silver anniversary at Bar Nancy in Little Havana, beginning at 10 p.m. The rock and blues trio will be joined by some very special guests. The Nancy is located at 2007 SW 8th St, Miami, Florida 33135. There is no cover to attend; 21 and over are welcome.

“Most people have wives and or kids and celebrate their 25th anniversary,” says Gould, who is also Bar Nancy’s lead sound engineer. “I don’t have either of those; all I have is my music and my band. It has been a fun ride to provide a live music soundtrack for so many people and musicians in Miami.” Sean plays bass in the Nil Lara trio and is an in-demand reggae session guitarist. He also records music at his Mango Tree home studio in North Miami.

For the uninitiated, Clambake features virtuoso guitar playing backed by a powerful rhythm section. They serve up a mix of blues with classic rock and a side of kitsch. The band’s repertoire varies from show to show, includes a fair amount of improvisations, and ranges from 50s staples to classics from the 60s and 70s. They also feature a good number of originals, including the 2000 ode to the ladies of Hialeah “Oye Mamacita”, and “Beer, Biscuits and Gravy“, for which a video was filmed at the now-closed Tobacco Road’s upstairs cabaret.

Monchy Coruguedo, the band’s steady drummer for the last 12+ years, offers: “The band that truly is the ‘Clan of The Clam’ is truly the best party band. It’s also a band that takes the music seriously, but not itself. We always welcome fans to share an experience, not just to watch a gig, all under the captaincy of our fearless and non-feathered Bird.” The band also features Michael Mut on bass.

The vibe of the Nancy is colonial-era nautical, its insides mimicking the galley of the famous ship. A daily happy hour offers half-priced drinks 4 to 7 p.m. The bar offers a sizable selection of draft and canned beers, as well as specialty cocktails and classic bar eats.

Clambake serves as the house band for a monthly “Jam with the Clam” open-mic style night hosted by Gould. Mondays are game and trivia nights; each month the bar resurrects the popular South Beach and Grove haunt The Kitchen Club. An outside patio with seating is available.

The Nancy is also home to the monthly marketplace / music event called Arroz Con Mango, and a recurring songwriter’s night series hosted by Juan Turros.
