From the big-news-for-a-small-venue department comes word that Sam Llanas — Sammy, if youre a BoDeans fan from way back — will play back-to-back nights at 8 p.m. Oct. 10-11 at The Vault in De Pere. Since seating is limited, so are tickets. Theyll be $20, with additional on-sale details still being worked out. Llanas, who parted ways with the BoDeans a couple of years ago, announced this week hell release a new album, The Whole Night Thru, on Nov. 18. The project will be his third major solo effort and features nine original tracks. Llanas once again collaborated with producer Gary Tanin. In a statement regarding press for the new album, Llanas said he considers it his first official solo record. Though I previously released two solo studio records, I had always been very careful to not compete with the BoDeans sound. But now that Im no longer in that band, the gloves are off and this is a record that has many elements that fans of my former band love. If fans are looking for that BoDeans sound, it comes from my voice and its all over this record. He also offered insight into his departure from the BoDeans in 2011: I think people have this misconception that I left The BoDeans to pursue a solo career, but thats just not the truth. I never wanted the break up of the BoDeans. It broke my heart. greenbaypressgazette/story/entertainment/music/2014/09/03/sam-llanas-lands-back-back-nights-de-pere/15052521/
