Abbie Barrett and her band are magic. They did their magic thing all over Warehouse XI for Bob Voges’ birthday celebration. #BV70
There’s nothing I dislike about Abbie Barrett and her band. One might say I actually kind of enjoy their musical adventures. I mean, they’re better than alright. One might even say that Abbie’s songs are little musical treasures and that you can feel her voice in your bones and that Mike Oram perfectly layers in his guitar textures and that Ed V is probably my favorite person to watch play the 4 string Fender bass (ever) and that Rice pretty much rules no matter what he’s doing (in this case, drumming just the right amount of drums) and that “Better Machine” might have been the best song released in 2018.
One might say those things.
Abbie Barrett And The Last Date
“That Shame”
2015
The latest single from Abbie Barrett And The Last Date is a dark and driving dynamo. “That Shame” is a layered with wailing guitars, haunting backing vocals and a locked-in rhythm section. All of this is in support of Abbie’s soulful, scathing, perfectly delivered lead vocal. Damn. This is fantastic.
Where to get it:
I’m always down for some Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents. The Q Division Holiday Party made good.
Another year. Another Q Division Holiday Party. Another wonderful set from Abbie Barrett. Another heartwarming rendition of “Abbie Barrett Makes Christmastime And Every Time A Better Time” by Brendan Boogie.
It’s Black Friday. Black Friday is still terrible. Supporting local art isn’t. Here’s a quick list of alternative ways to spend your hard earned dollars than fighting crowds at the chain stores.
If you do go out to the stores today, think about keeping it local. Oh, and pick up something for Anngelle Wood’s Spectacular Gift Drive for DCF Kids Fund.
Here are Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents rippin’ up the rug at The Lizard. They make it look easy.
Eric Salt & The Electric City closed out a night of great songs performed by fantastic musicians at a wonderful club. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. We’re lucky to have people like this in our town.
Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents are Jeff Lynne’s dream R&B band. Or maybe they’re Darlene Love’s favorite new wave band. I can never remember which it is. No matter. They were their usual fantastic selves at The Sinclair.
Every time I see Abbie Barrett play with her band, I walk away a bigger fan. Her voice and songs have impressive depth. Her wit is keen. Teamed up with the talented folks that make up The Last Date she may be unstoppable.
