Cool Runnings

It was a Sunday evening and I was doubting why I'd bought the tickets 4 months earlier - due to the darkness descending earlier now and the uncertainty of what the experience would be. It was a great experience that has been carrying me through my work week. The opening band Loamlands were excellent. Then Natalie Prass and her band came on and totally surprised me. She and her band are great live, even though at times I felt the musicians overtook her voice. Love, loved their version of Sound of Silence. Looking forward to buying her newest musical gift.

Family of the Year were amazing as always.. They sang songs from their 2nd album, "Loma Vista" and from their new album. They sounded amazing, were very energetic and interacted with the crowd a lot.

The show was excellent! Cady Groves also performed and she is excellent. She is a down to earth person and is really interested in talking with her audience. The Downtown Fiction put on a great show. The suit that Cameron Leahy wears is hideous though.

more than the event, that was great, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, are one of the best band I ahem ever sean on stage.

Mr. Firestone changed the way he opened his concert from the last 2 times we have seen him, but we love his show immensely. The band sounded great, love the backup singers and especially the dancers, the red head was beautiful! terrific show, did all the hits, would like to hear the girl is mine and pretty young thing. The only problem was the lousy technicians who did the sound, could not hear the rapping and the girls when they sang their solos were barley audible.We will see MOONWALKER again in laughlin in late august.

very interesting show. the new double album is less lo-fi fifties/sixties-esque and much more experimental soundscapes. some may not like that, but there is no way this creative guy is going to stick to any genre. it translated well live tho and was enjoyable, even if the music itself is pretty lazily self-indulgent this time and not as good as he thinks it is. crowd was into it. i liked the live better than studio versions for sure. the opener sisu was excellent as well. didnt catch the first warmup, but sounded good from downstairs in the bar.

Great interaction with the crowd. Very talented guy.

Bluegrass Youth Ballet never disappoints! The children are excellent dancers! The costumes and the choreography are outstanding! Love the original ballets by Adlahi Aranda!

The music was great, the singer was mostly weak and it was troubling that he read most of the lyrics from the tele prompter. His stage presence seemed awkward.

Really enjoyable music and singing bringin long time memories back. I wish they would stay around here for a few extra shows.
