Saw this quartet open up for Josh Ritter on Monday at the Belly Up. Total surprise! I love it when an opening act is this good. They blew everyone away with their amazing talent and unique sound. The harmonies between the vocalist and bassist are the key. The drummer is a hotshot who loves playing drums and brings a music conservatory skillset to the rhythm. All of them are music school nerds, in fact. However, they don't let their education stifle their groovy, rootsy showcase of Aretha Franklinesque soul hits and Levon Helmian country funk. Would love to see them again sometime.
