Saturday was a nightmare day. I am still trying to untangle my banking mess from having my identity co-oped. I got a last minute ticket to see Alenia Davis, Will Hoge and the Avett brothers at Webster Hall.
Alenia Davis was good. Part gillian welch, part kate campbell. Her songwriting was solid and she was just long enough.
Will Hoge, part springsteen, part steve earle, part Black Crowes. Southern folk rocker. Souther Rocker filled the stage with his band. He looked like he was having fun.
The Avett brothers are an event. Like Texans at a Robert Earl Keen show or Great Big Sea fans or even Fruheads to Moxie Fruvous. There was song lines being shouted at appropriate times, jumping up and down. All to encourage Seth or Scott to break strings or break an instrument. BAnjo, guitar and upright bass they make those instruments rock in a away with songs with lyrics shouted or harmonies so sweet.
the Avett Brothers have a loyal fan base that come from far to sing along and join hte event. it is just that another event band.
