Steppin' Out
Apartment Three knocking at Dogfish on June 9
Macmillan and Nik Chisholm,
both lauded for strong lead vocals,
Apartment Three also includes co-
founder and drummer Francis
Castagnetti Jr., bassist Bill Egan
and electric guitarist Jeff Bellucci.
The band's first album, "Miles
to Go," was released in 1996. The
latest CD was produced by the
band's own label, High Rise
Records, with help from Grammy
nominated producer Tom Waltz.
A growing fan base has fol-
lowed the band from its Maine
roots. Drawing comparisons with
the likes of Dave Matthews Band,
Blind Melon and Blues Traveler,
listeners will have a difficult time
categorizing its particular style,
other than to call it "eclectic," a
term frequently used to describe
the the group. Opening with the
light and airy "She Feels,"
By Jen Ellingsworth
The quintet Apartment Three,
revered by the Boston Globe for
"fashioning a blend of blues, jazz
and just enough pop," is another
addition to the collection of origi-
nal music presented locally by
Dogfish Head Brewings & Eats,
320 Rehoboth Ave. The band
plays at the brew pub on Friday,
June 9.
The group's signature jazz and
blues infused sound, epitomized
by its 1996 debut, Miles To Go, is
carried over into its most recent
release, Smiles From the Ashtray,
debuted in late 1999, A non-stop
touring schedule finds the band up
and down the east coast.
Apartment Three is slated to
return to Rehoboth at Dogfish
Head on Friday, July 7.
Hinged by guitar/vocalists Dan
Reggae band One Love will perform at Sir Guy's Restaurant
and Pub on Sturday, June 10. For information, call 227-7616.
Apartment Three's new CD takes
a pop turn from the get-go, later
taking a turn with blues and jazz
tinged melodies and jagged guitar
hooks.

genre of late, Apartment Three
serves up a fresh, easy sound that
showcases its musical ability.
