The Handsome Devilz

Out for the fifth night in a row, this time to see Cory Branan as the opening act at Mercury Lounge. Mercury Lounge is one of my favorite venues intimate and great sound. And Cory Branan is one of the best storytellers you ll ever hear. He started with one of our favorites, Prettiest Waitress in Memphis, and then pointed out a small group from Oslo who came to the US just to see Cory. They had also traveled to London to see him, handed him a set list, and said, Don t fuck this up. They gave him a set list this time, Cory looked at it, and asked them if everything was okay since all the songs were sad songs. He did some songs from the list but he also did songs that he wanted to do including three new songs, which is always a bonus for the crowd. It was a short set but it included his fast fantastic guitar playing. Country-rock band The Band of Heathens was the main act. They are Ed Jurdi (vocals, guitar, harmonica), Gordy Quist (vocals, guitars, harmonica), Trevor Nealon (keyboards), Richard Milsap (drums), and Scott Davis (electric bass, vocals). They have a very dedicated crowd, who sang along to every song. Minutes after the set was over, the night s recording was available digitally at the merch table. Kid Rock has recorded their song Shotgun and they have since become friends with him. The music was pleasant and harmonies pretty. It was made prettier when The Trishas joined them onstage for two songs.

Celtic Fire provides a wonderful blend of song, dance, and culture

It was our first Burlesque show we attended and it was fun entertainment!

I've been a long time Jr Jr fan since their its a corporate world LP and their live performance went above and beyond their recordings. Sometimes live bands never sound as good as their LPs but with Jr Jr, that wasn't the case.

Once Delhi 2 Dublin hit the stage everyone got up from their seats and made their way to the dance floor. From that point on the energy in the room was constant. Everyone was dancing and the energy from the band as well as their music was the cause. My legs hurt the next day from dancing so hard. We had an absolutely amazing time!

Powerful, enthusiastic, and love what they do. An incredible shower that I won't want miss when they're in town!

Sarah's performance was indelible!! The intimate setting at Rough Trade made it feel like a personal performance. Her clear, soft, emotional ballads and punk-ish guitar riffs left me singing all the way home. I'm glad I finally got to see her play live!!

Fun band with too many guitars. They were doing what they do and I just wasn't that impressed. If four guitars drowning in sound is your jammy thing than this is your band.

I was impressed and pleasantly surprised. Definitely a good time. Go see them if you can get tickets. You won't be disappointed even if you're a die hard Prince fan.

Deborah Vial has been one of the best singers I have ever seen perform. She is perfection. I have be watching her perform for over 15 years, She is near and dear to my heart.
