Follow-up to last night's show: We had a heckuva nice time last night with Sara & Tim (West of East). Had 25-30 people in the Stump, a number who had not seen the band before. The music was great, got a chance to kibitz with friends, beer glasses got smashed (Ha! Thanks for the 6-pack this morning, Brian!), Tim & Sara's tip jar was happy (thanks everyone for supporting good, local live music).
In addition to a handful of compliments on the band as I chatted with people last night, also got a Facebook message from our friend Pat Sheehan right away this morning: "West of East was pretty sweet sounding, David. Really enjoyed the singer, had heart. Good times, good times."
Brian Powell took a ton of pics and some video last night. Here's the link to his Flickr set.
The May 1st Reminder: Tonight West of East will bring their oh-so-fine brand of music to Stumpjack...perfect for a cool spring evening in downtown Two Rivers.
"West of East is a duo whose music features vocals that mix the subtle, velvety style of Norah Jones with the power of Neko Case. Their songs pair intelligently crafted lyrics with acoustic guitars and are highlighted by a "Countrified-Folk" style of gritty electric guitar."
7:00pm tonight. We'll also have a drawing for an autographed copy of their latest CD release, Love in the Twilight Zone.
