I played an awesome show the other night at Bella Cafe in DC with Jonny Grave headlining, my band (Crooked Tree), and SweetBread Jim's.
SweetBread Jim's kicked off the full band sounds with a bang! Linsay's vocals were powerful and she has amazing stage presence. The sounds that were coming from SBJ were huge and loaded with energy, especially considering they are just a three piece (Linsay Deming on vox and guitar - John Lanou on Bass - Jon Lewis on Drums). The set ended with some impressive drum chops from Jon Lewis. You have to check out SweetBread Jim's: www.sweetbreadjims.com
Crooked Tree came on next. I have to thank Nate from the Tombstones for letting me play his drums, which was a beautiful kit with some enormous drums! A 26" kick! We played a good set to a decent size audience, especially considering it was Sunday night...thanks to everyone who came out! Crooked Tree is at www.crookedtreemusic.com
Finally, Jonny Grave and the Tombstones took the stage. First I owe them a huge thanks for organizing the entire night from booking to collecting door to running sound. Second, they totally blew me away. I have not heard that kind of gritty, raw sounding blues live in a long time. Jonny's energy is contagious. You could definitely tell he was feeling it and his Tombstones are all amazing musicians. This is Jonny's site: www.jonnygrave.com
It was a great night with great music. I'm looking forward to playing again with SweetBread Jim's and Jonny Grave and the Tombstones in the future!
Thanks for reading!
