Roots rocker James Intveld in concert at the Hut on Friday
Tucson, Arizona | Published: 08.21.2008
John Waters fans should get a kick out of roots rocker James Intveld, who is playing Friday night at The Hut, 305 N. Fourth Ave. When Johnny Depp's character in "Cry-Baby" declared himself the king through song, it was Intveld who provided the vocals.
Intveld also lent his voice to the Waters film "A Dirty Shame," Sean Penn's "Indian Runner" and the HBO baseball documentary, "61."
He began his music career with his younger brother Ricky and buddy Pat Woodward in a band called the Rockin' Shadows. James would eventually move on to work with rockabilly vocalist Rosie Flores.
He also created a memorial album for his brother and Woodward after they died in a plane crash while touring with Ricky Nelson.
Intveld comes to The Hut with his new album, "Have Faith," a mix of honky-tonk, rockabilly and gospel-tinged melodies.
The show starts at 9:30 p.m. and admission is $5.
