Jean-Paul de Roover with City of Glass:March 10.
Jean-Paul de Roover with City of Glass: Wednesday, March 10. Doors at 7:30, show at 8:00. $10 at the door. 
Here’s David Kidney’s review of Jean Paul’s previous show at The Pearl: “J-P plays loops, which means he creates a full band sound all by himself. Whether he begins with a riff, a beat, a bassline, even a vocal he then adds the missing pieces together like a jigsaw puzzle until finally the whole is revealed…. He is a sensitive singer with a flexible voice laying down harmonies and background sounds (including percussive noises) with an ease and facility that is amazing to watch/hear…. He begins with melodic ideas, even when constructing the abstract experimental pieces. He add words as an afterthought, and yet the words he adds are filled with ideas, he is a thinker, having just completed his Master’s in Sociology. Sociology? That’s right, and it’s a perfect fit for his songs about life, death, love, loss and all that…. Even his CD package Windows and Doors breaks through! It folds out to become a little house. Keep your eyes out for De Roover appearing near you.” City of Glass specialize in pop rock that goes from catchy and hip-shaking to heart-on-the-sleeve emotional. Using clean riffs, synthscapes and snappy beats their fresh and dynamic songs are instantly moving.
