VIDEO OF THE DAY — KITTY, DAISY & LEWIS: “I’M SO SORRY”

No mere backward trip in time, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis play good old-time music firmly rooted in the present. Hailing from Kentish Town in northwest London, the siblings started out entertaining friends and families when they were kids before playing in public and releasing their eponymous debut album in 2008, featuring their unique take on rockabilly, jazz, western swing, jump ‘n’ jive, boogie woogie, pop, and other musical traditions. The trio’s follow-up disc, Smoking in Heaven (Verve Forecast, October 2011), is another old-fashioned delight, filled with such crowd pleasers as “Don’t Make a Fool Out of Me,” “Paan Man Boogie,” “I’m So Sorry,” and “Will I Ever.” Kitty, Daisy and Lewis Durham, who continually exchange instruments, ranging from guitar, bass, and drums to keyboards, banjo, accordion, harmonica, ukulele, xylophone, and horns, will be joined by Ingrid Weiss on upright bass, Daddy Grazz on acoustic guitar, and Eddie “Tan Tan” Thornton on trumpet for their April 3 show at Mercury Lounge, with World Blanket opening up.
