Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Rockin' and/or Rollin'

Combining elements of jazz, soul, pop and straight-up rock and roll, New York City’s Mel Flannery Trucking Co. have a little something to suit most sonic tastes. And that versatility seems to serve them well. The band’s latest album White Flag has garnered almost universally strong reviews from underground press outlets, even scoring a “Best of 2009” nomination from noted grassroots music website, Just Plain Folks. This week the band makes a pair of Burlington stops, Friday at Red Square and Sunday at Radio Bean.
