From 1991-1999, Three Blue Teardrops (guitarist Dave Sisson, drummer Randy Sabo and upright bassist Rick Uppling) created driving, dynamic psychobilly that was traditional without being nostalgic, fun without being novelty and punk without being a mess. The trio toured America (a rockabilly rarity) and established itself nationally as a riveting live act. Locally it bridged the gap between the pompadour contingent and broader music audiences, but the group ran into a glass ceiling when it’s dedication to wild, genre-defying songwriting kept it from cashing in on the swing dance craze that proved lucrative for cohorts like the Mighty Blue Kings and the Four Charms. The Teardrops’ infrequent reunions are fueled by their love of the music and by unbreakable familial bonds (both between each other and with their reverent audience), so their appearance this week is one to treasure. And don’t worry about the dress code-it’s tank top optional.
