Patrons of the Ottobar last Saturday night were witnesses to the resurrection of old school rock and roll as Tommy Tucker and the SuperNaturals tore through a blistering set that left Tommy sweatin’ like a streetwalker during Sunday service and gave the audience more than enough reason to cut a rug if there had been one there to cut.

If you think you’ve seen this back up band before, you’re right. The SuperNaturals are none other than Baltimore’s favorite throw back, The Bellevederes. When they go out to back Tommy Tucker, they also take on super powers to help withstand the high levels of energy radiating from Tommy when he gets near a microphone (hence the alternate name).

SuperNatural trombone player Micah Huerta gets the award for best photo of the week.

You may remember Tiffany DeFoe from such bands as The Multiphonic Choir, Gunwife Gone, Lafayette Gilchrist, Alvin and The Chimpmunks, Abba, The Fredrick Douglas High School marching band and Styx. Okay, so I’m not positive about all of those, but I’ll let you discern which are accurate.
